Sugars That Heal: The New Healing Science of Glyconutrients
Author: Emil I Mondoa
"Sugars that heal" it sounds like a contradiction in terms, but it's the key to one of the most important breakthroughs in recent medical science. We've all been bombarded with warnings about the evils of consuming too much sugar. But, in fact, for our bodies to function properly, we need small amounts of eight essential sugars, only two of which--glucose and galactose--are commonly found in our limited, overprocessed diets. When all eight sugars are available, the health benefits can be breathtaking: Individuals regain their ability to fight disease, reactivate their immune systems, and are able to ward off infection. Based on cutting-edge research in the rapidly evolving science of glyconutrients, Sugars That Heal is an exciting new approach to health and disease prevention.
As medical doctor and scientific researcher Emil Mondoa explains, these eight essential sugars, known as saccharides, are the basis of multicellular intelligence--the ability of cells to communicate, cohere, and work together to keep us healthy and balanced. Even tiny amounts of these sugars--or lack of them--have profound effects. In test after test conducted at leading institutes around the world, saccharides have been shown to lower cholesterol, increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, accelerate wound healing, ease allergy symptoms, and allay autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetes. Bacterial infections, including the recurrent ear infections that plague toddlers, often respond remarkably to saccharides, as do many viruses--from the common cold to the flu, from herpes to HIV. The debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Gulf War syndromefrequently abate after adding saccharides. And, for cancer patients, saccharides mitigate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy--while augmenting their cancer-killing effects, resulting in prolonged survival and improved quality of life.
Sugars That Heal offers a revolutionary new health plan based on the science of glyconutrients--foods that contain saccharides. It gives authoritative guidance for getting all eight saccharides conveniently into your diet through supplements and readily available foods, as well as detailed information on correct dosages. Here, too, are chapters dealing with the special nutritional needs of people suffering from cancer, heart disease, asthma, and neurological disorders, and methods for using glyconutrients to treat depression, obesity, and ADHD.
The more doctors learn about glyconutrients, the more excited they become about their long-term fundamental health benefits. Now, with this new book, the breakthroughs in the study of glyconutrients are available to everyone. Whether your goal is to prevent disease, live longer and better, or treat a serious illness that has eluded conventional medicine, Sugars That Heal is your essential guide to complete health.

Reviewer: Zhaoming Xu, BSc, MSc, PhD (University of British Columbia)
Description: This recent addition to the popular press collection describes potential health benefits of taking saccharides as nutrient supplements.
Purpose: Although the authors do not clearly define the purpose for the book, based on the content, it is evident that it tries to promote saccharides as a means of healing.
Audience: This book is aimed at people who are seeking alternative means of promoting health and fighting diseases.
Features: This book is organized in three parts. Part I provides background information on saccharides including definitions of the terms used in the book. Part II focuses on saccharides and immune system. In this part, the authors went beyond the immune system to include saccharides and diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, HIV, and hepatitis, etc. Part III, entitled "Turn Back the Clock," describes saccharides as a means to slow down aging, build endurance, help to lose weight, improve memory and learning, and lower anxiety and improve sleep, etc.
Assessment: This is a generally understudied area with limited scientific evidence available. It is good that authors have made efforts to tell both sides of the story. However, some of the claims may not be fully supported by scientific evidence. There also is a tendency toward overgeneralization of limited experimental observations. On a positive note, this book could be a stimulus to research the scientific reality of saccharides in health promotion.

Comic Strip Conversations: Colorful, Illustrated Interactions with Students with Autism and Related Disorders
Author: Carol Gray
A comic strip conversation is a conversation between two or more people that incorporates the use of simple drawings. These drawings illustrate the dynamics of communication, providing support to individuals who struggle with the quick exchange of information in a conversation. This book has become a staple for parents and professionals working with students with autism and other developmental disabilities. The visual supports provide not only concrete social cues, but also can improve students' understanding of the more abstract components of conversation. It's short and sweet, easy to implement, and fun to work with.
