I found this book to be very informative and motivational. Packed with informative information on how to prevent, treat, and overcome food addiction including a beautifully written epilogue empowering people with food addictions to take the next step to overcoming their addiction.

Dr. Vera Tarman’s book, “Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction” gave me the insights to understand food addition. The easy-to-follow guide is a clear, concise book providing the reader with detailed information about food addiction including advice and support to help someone overcome this disorder.

One important factor I learned from this book is that you need to understand the facts about addiction.  In order to overcome a disorder you need to learn about what it is and if you have it you then need to take the next step by accepting that you have an addiction to food.  Once those two steps are achieved then you can take the next step by learning how to overcome food addiction and go on by creating a healthy, happy and productive lifestyle.  Vera Tara provides all this information in her book.

It is critical for someone with food addiction or a family member who lives with him or her to read this book.

Even if you do not suffer from the disorder by learning about it you can support your loved one or friend who suffers from this disorder.  Food addiction is not something that goes away and never comes back.  It is an addiction just like drug and alcohol addiction.  You must cope with it and learn how to live with it for the rest of your life. Dr. Tarman shows you how in her book.

Understanding the complete issues of food addiction and learning the seriousness of the disorder can, “wake you up,” to take control.  The advice and guidance provided in this book, highlights what you can do to live with and overcome food addiction.

Dr. Vera Tara’s natural approach helped me realize that WE control our bodies. We can change our behavior by providing changing ourselves.  Change is hard, but if one is willing to change then anything is possible as Tarman explains in her book by using stories from others and her own battles with food addiction.

I enjoyed how the book provides you with the stepping-stones and techniques to prevent, treat, and overcome food addiction the natural way.  Dr. Vera Tarman the author, provides the reader with extraordinary tools and techniques that help you achieve all your goals both long and short-term goals.

As the book unfolds, you surprisingly begin to see how you can achieve your goals and overcome food addiction.

This book on food addiction and the advice and techniques that were provided were remarkable.  The book captured my interest and it has motivated me to not eat just to eat, but to seriously consider the food I am eating and reasons why I am eating those foods.

In addition, through reading this book I realize no matter what age you are you need to care for your body.   If you feel you have a problem with food then you need to learn about food addiction and what you can do to overcome it.  Addiction is a reality and if you are not careful, you could be a victim.

If you are one of the millions who have this condition, and are looking for an expert to guide you through all the positive steps you can take to overcome food addiction, this is the book for you. “This book will get anyone who struggles with food on the right track.”

Dr. Tarman’s book is an excellent book to help learn, diagnosis, prevent, treat and overcome food addiction.  It is packed with phenomenal advice. I was also honored to have the privilege to listen to Dr. Vera Tarman’s audible version of the book, which just came out and is available to purchase.



I found this book to be informative, motivating and was enjoyable to read. This book may be just what the doctor ordered for anyone who has a quest to learn about and overcome food addiction.  I recommend this book to others.

Using Hypnosis To Improve Sex and Relationships

by JESSICA MIGALA

The old saying "you are what you eat" holds true for your health. And, it turns out, your skin. Fill up on junk like refined carbs, sugar, and trans fats, and well, your skin is going to look like it. "We’re actually learning that poor nutrition is just as bad for your skin as cigarette smoking," says Patricia Farris, MD, dermatologist and author of The Sugar Detox. A poor diet can cause inflammation, which triggers oxidative stress and in turn damages collagen and DNA, making you look older. Here are the top 10 food offenders to keep off your plate.

I found this book to be very heartwarming, inspirational and motivational. Packed with touching quotes, simply beautiful photographs, and a CD with songs filled with faith, courage, wisdom, strength and hope derived from Debra’s and Monica’s rocky journey in life as they battled harrowing events in their lives.  Debra and Monica were able to take the traumatic obstacles that crossed their life path and use them as a motivator to grow and create positive change in their life.

Each Moment We’re Alive: A Musical and Photographic Story is filled with fabulous insight and inspiration on how to cope, overcome and turn your life around including great advice on how to recover and move on with your life after you have battled with a forever life changing disease such as breast cancer.

Each Moment We’re Alive,” offers inspiration to those who struggle to survive cancer. Produced by singer/songwriter Debra Lynn Alt, it combines life-affirming music with the award-winning travel/nature images of the late professional photographer, Monica Baer.

Each Moment We’re Alive: A Musical and Photographic Story is filled with fabulous insight on how to cope, overcome and turn your life.

Alt and Baer’s book and CD, touched my heart in more ways than one.  It gave me the insights to understand that everything in life happens for a reason.  Everyone in life goes through tragic events in some point of their life and there are some people who unfortunately are faced with obstacles every day of their lives.  The trick is how do we cope with these obstacles?  Do we let the negative things that happen to us in life get the best of us and slowly destroy us making us feel angry, saddened and depressed? Or do we try to look at the situation pulling out the positive aspects from the situation and then asking ourselves, “What did I learn from this situation?  How did it make me a stronger or better person?

Alt and Baer’s taught me through their wisdom of words, inspirational pictures and amazing music how to accept the negative things that occur in our lives and use them to empower us to make positive changes in our lives that will help us live in the moment and appreciate the life we live and the air we breathe.  Alt and Baer’s heartwarming book and CD makes you look at life differently in a positive manner.

I never experienced breast cancer however; I gained a lot of insight by reading their book of inspirational quotes, gazing at the beautiful photographs provided throughout the book and listening to the lovely songs in the CD that make you look at life in a whole new outlook.

In the introduction, Debra opens up and lets you into her world sharing how she met Monica and the huge positive impact Monica left in her and her daughter’s life.

In addition, through reading this book I realize no matter what disease or disorder you suffer from in life there is always a positive lessen to be learned that will strengthen us and help us grow and further our horizons.  This book and CD helped me realize that everyone in this world has something, but with support, love, guidance and reassurance anything is possible.  The power of healing (mentally, physically or spiritually) is always an option if you are open it.  Alt and Baer’s book can show you how to cope, overcome and experience power of healing in this wonderful book.

Alt and Baer’s book and CD are excellent.  I highly recommend it to others.  It will make you smile, it may make you cry, but in the end you’ll see life in a different shade of light.  You’ll be glad you read it and you’ll love the inspiring CD that is included inside the book. Music heals all wounds. You can't touch it or see it, but somehow just hearing it can change your entire world.

There are now 30 million people with diabetes in the US. There are furthermore 80 million people with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. About half the people with diabetes develop nerve damage or neuropathy which is the most common complication of diabetes. Prediabetes does not escape its attention and about 1 in 6 people will also suffer neuropathy. Half the people will have pain and the remainder will have loss of strength, impaired vibration and touch or temperature sensation and reflexes and are prone to foot ulcers, amputations and falls and fractures with traumatic brain injury. More recently it has become apparent that impairment of touch, pressure perception and loss of heart rate variability (HRV) are strong predictors of heart attack and death. Unfortunately little has been shown to prevent or reverse neuropathy and relieve the afflicted individuals of their suffering and discomfort.

There is however some hope on the horizon. Recent studies have demonstrated in animals and man that certain nutraceuticals may have beneficial effects on the different components of neuropathy. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant which the Toronto Neuropathy convention concluded was “the only agent that has shown the capability of reversing certain components of neuropathy”. In a post-hoc analysis of the NATHAN 1 trial, a 4-year randomized study including 460 diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate polyneuropathy treatment with using ALA 600 mg daily or placebo. Amongst others, efficacy measures were the Neuropathy Impairment Score of the lower limbs (NIS-LL) and HRV during deep breathing. The striking results showed improvement and prevention of progression of NIS-LL with ALA vs. placebo after 4 years. More importantly the improvement was predicted by higher age, lower BMI, male sex, normal blood pressure, history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and insulin treatment, longer duration of diabetes and neuropathy, and higher neuropathy stage. In other words the worse you are the better you responded to treatment with ALA. There is still hope for the wicked. Of further interest it is almost a sine qua non to treat people with diabetes with ACE inhibitors for hypertension and renal disease and the combination with ALA showed a better outcome in HRV. Better outcome was predicted by higher burden due to CVD, diabetes, and neuropathy, while improvement in cardiac autonomic function was predicted by ACE inhibitor treatment.

In small studies in animals and man Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) has been shown to improve disturbances of sensory perception, Vitamin B12 to improve gait and balance and gamma linolenic acid derived from borage oil to enhance thermal perception. There also is accruing evidence that vitamin D may have salutary effects on nerve function. Patients who have taken Nutrinerve which is a compound comprising these ingredients have readily testified to the relief of pain and others to the improvement of sensory perception and reduction in instability and the propensity to falling. Of interest patients have spoken about the improvement in their skin, hair and brittleness of their nails. Others who have been on the product and stopped or changed the brand volunteer a recurrence of their symptoms! It seems that there is light at the end of this tunnel of gloom that has surrounded diabetic neuropathy all these years.

This special formula was developed by Dr. Aaron Vinik, MD, the Director of Research and Neuroendcrine Unit at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
