THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Unlock the secret to extraordinary health by reducing high uric acid levels—the hidden risk you didn''t know you had—by the author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash. What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders, and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because a large number of Americans don’t know they are suffering from increased levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses. Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including how to: Reduce fructose and foods high in “purines” through simple dietary edits Lower uric acid levels through natural hacks like consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee Identify common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid Implement lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise Easily test your uric acid levels at home—a test routinely performed in your doctor’s office during regular check-ups but typically ignored Featuring the groundbreaking “LUV” (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes, and a 21-day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers readers with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner, and healthier lives.

Nature didn’t finish your child’s brain at birth. It’s up to you to maximize your child’s mental skills without causing additional stress. Acclaimed neurologist and bestselling author of Grain Brain, David Perlmutter, MD, offers these valuable tools: Simple games to reinforce memory pathways in the brain Information on common household products and children’s toys that contain brain-damaging neurotoxins The right foods and supplements to boost intelligence and turn on your child’s smart genes How to turn the television, the computer, and video games into educational tools Proven ways to reduce the risk of your child developing ADD and ADHD Between birth and age five, your child has up to thirty IQ points at stake. Scientists now know that the human brain is undergoing a constant and dramatic transformation in the first years of life. During this peak time of development, every activity and experience leaves an indelible mark on your baby’s brain, for better or worse. The right kind of stimulation and nutrition will create connections in the brain that promote intelligence and raise IQ. The wrong kinds of activities and foods can stifle intellectual development, destroy brain cells, and leave your child more vulnerable to learning or behavior problems down the road. So, what can you do during the first five years to ensure that your child is primed to excel? The good news is that raising a smarter child is easier than you think. It doesn’t require making an investment in expensive equipment or high priced tutors. It’s as simple as playing the right games, serving the right foods, and maintaining a brain-enhancing environment in your home by eliminating common household toxins. In Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten by Dr. David Perlmutter, you’ll learn easy and highly effective strategies that can vastly improve your child’s brain power and reduce his or her chances of developing ADD and ADHD. For example, you can: Stimulate Memory: Changing a component on the over-the-crib mobile every week makes the baby compare what was there before to what’s there now, reinforcing memory pathways in the brain that are critical for learning. Spread out those shots: Schedule more frequent trips to the pediatrician for vaccinations, so that fewer shots are administered at once. Flooding the immune system with a cocktail of different vaccines can damage the nervous system. Get rid of toxins: Protecting a child from neurotoxins found in foods, toys and even baby bottles can help preserve precious IQ points. Inside, Dr. Perlmutter provides a scientifically backed food and supplement plan for children and nursing mothers and details the many brain-building activities that you can do with your child. In addition, he reveals the numerous toys and household products that contain harmful, brain-damaging toxins and shows how to identify and combat common childhood problems like ADD and food allergies that may affect your child’s development. Your job over the first five years is to help your child build the best brain possible. With Dr. Perlmutter’s help, you can mine the countless opportunities you have each day to make your child smarter, happier and better prepared to excel.

The United States government discovers, to its horror, that the creatures featured in animated cartoons are not fabrications but real beings. Fearing the social and political consequences of the discovery being made public, they proceed to exile them off Earth to another planet. However, things do not go according to plan... A new novel from Canadian author David Perlmutter

Animation has been part of television since the start of the medium but it has rarely received unbiased recognition from media scholars. More often, it has been ridiculed for supposedly poor technical quality, accused of trafficking in violence aimed at children, and neglected for indulging in vulgar behavior. These accusations are often made categorically, out of prejudice or ignorance, with little attempt to understand the importance of each program on its own terms. This book takes a serious look at the whole genre of television animation, from the early themes and practices through the evolution of the art to the present day. Examining the productions of individual studios and producers, the author establishes a means of understanding their work in new ways, at the same time discussing the ways in which the genre has often been unfairly marginalized by critics, and how, especially in recent years, producers have both challenged and embraced this "marginality" as a vital part of their work. By taking seriously something often thought to be frivolous, the book provides a framework for understanding the persistent presence of television animation in the American media--and how surprisingly influential it has been.

Once consigned almost exclusively to Saturday morning fare for young viewers, television animation has evolved over the last several decades as a programming form to be reckoned with. While many animated shows continue to entertain tots, the form also reaches a much wider audience, engaging viewers of all ages. Whether aimed at toddlers, teens, or adults, animated shows reflect an evolving expression of sophisticated wit, adult humor, and a variety of artistic techniques and styles. The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Series encompasses animated programs broadcast in the United States and Canada since 1948. From early cartoon series like Crusader Rabbit, Rocky and His Friends, and The Flintstones to 21st century stalwarts like The Simpsons, South Park, and Spongebob Squarepants, the wide range of shows can be found in this volume. Series from many networks--such as Comedy Central, the Disney Channel, Nickleodeon, and Cartoon Network-- are included, representing both the diversity of programming and the broad spectrum of viewership. Each entry includes a list of cast and characters, credit information, a brief synopsis of the series, and a critical analysis. Additional details include network information and broadcast history. The volume also features one hundred images and an introduction containing an historical overview of animated programming since the inception of television. Highlighting an extensive array of shows from Animaniacs and Archer to The X-Men and Yogi Bear, The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Series is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of this constantly expanding art form.

Anybody who loves animated cartoons should be interested in knowing the truth about them. Which is that they have lives after the camera stops filming, and pretty interesting ones at that. This book will give you the truth about who they are and what they feel, direct from their lips. Particularly about how the leaders of the world want them out of the way, for good....

David Perlmutter examines icons of outrage--the indelible images that presidents and journalists alike claim drive American foreign policy and public opinion. He uncovers the hidden frames that control the visualization of foreign affairs in major crises such as the Tet offensive, Tiananmen, and the intervention in Somalia.

Sci-fi fan or not, aliens hold a fascination for humans. The mystery of UFOs, the thought they may walk among us without us knowing, the thought they may be watching us all the time... these things ensure that we, as a race, are absorbed with thoughts of ‘aliens’, however they might show themselves. In giving Thirteen’s talented writers a theme like that, it was guaranteed that the stories which came in would cover every possible interpretation of the alien theme that you can imagine, and then some. Walk some strange pathways, read some strange stories, discover some strange aliens... Check out more Thirteen Press & Horrified Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com

Se pensa que a doença de Alzheimer é uma doença genética, prepare-se para uma boa surpresa: não é. Em Cérebro de Farinha, o Dr. David Perlmutter revela um dos segredos mais bem guardados da medicina: os hidratos de carbono destroem o cérebro. E podem conduzir à demência, depressão, PHDA, epilepsia, ansiedade, dores de cabeça crónicas, diminuição da líbido e muito mais. Esqueça os seus genes. O destino do seu cérebro é ditado por aquilo que come todos os dias. As doenças degenerativas são causadas em primeiro lugar por inflamações, que têm origem no consumo de alimentos hipercalóricos, sobretudo os que contêm glúten ou elevado teor de açúcares. Felizmente, podemos contrariar a decadência natural do nosso cérebro. Uma dieta rica em proteínas e “boas gorduras” é a solução ideal. Não apenas o protege de doenças, como estimula o crescimento de novas células cerebrais independentemente da idade que temos – seja aos 40 ou aos 80 anos, vamos sempre a tempo de renovar a nossa massa cinzenta. David Perlmutter (o único neurologista dos EUA que é membro da Associação de Nutricionistas Americanos) propõe-lhe um plano de quatro semanas para reconquistar a saúde dos seus neurónios. Apresenta estratégias muito fáceis de seguir, dezenas de receitas deliciosas, e sugere objectivos semanais que o ajudarão a concluir com sucesso a sua caminhada.

O Dr. David Perlmutter é um prestigiado neurologista e preside ao Perlmutter Health Center, na Florida, e à Perlmutter Brain Foundation, sendo ainda membro do Associação Americana de Nutrição. Recebeu várias distinções, como o Prémio Humanitário do Ano, da Associação Americana de Nutrição (2010), o prémio Linus Pauling, pelo seu contributo para o estudo das doenças neurológicas e o prémio Denham Harmon pelo seu trabalho pioneiro na aplicação da ciência dos radicais livres à medicina clínica (2002).

Con simples recomendaciones dietéticas y un práctico programa de seis pasos para mejorar la ecología del intestino, Alimenta tu cerebro, un libro divulgativo a la par que riguroso, nos abre la puerta a la adquisición de una salud cerebral sin precedentes. Con simples recomendaciones dietéticas y un práctico programa de seis pasos para mejorar la ecología del intestino, Alimenta tu cerebro, un libro divulgativo a la par que riguroso, nos abre la puerta a la adquisición de una salud cerebral sin precedentes. La más importante revelación médica del siglo XXI es que el intestino y esos pequeños bichos que viven en él están relacionados con casi todos los padecimientos crónicos, desde el autismo y la depresión hasta el asma y las enfermedades autoinmunes, la diabetes o la demencia. En las últimas décadas han aumentado los trastornos que debilitan nuestro cerebro, desde los niños con autismo y TDAH hasta los adultos que desarrollan demencia a edades más tempranas que nunca. Pero una investigación médica actual revela que la salud de nuestro cerebro está dictada mayoritariamente por el estado de nuestro microbioma o, lo que es lo mismo, por la gran población de organismos que viven en nuestros intestinos y que superan en número a las células del cuerpo humano en una proporción de diez a uno. Es decir que lo que está ocurriendo en nuestros intestinos hoy determina el riesgo de cualquier trastorno o enfermedad relacionada con el cerebro. El doctor Perlmutter explica la potente interacción que existe entre los microbios intestinales y el cerebro, y cómo el microbioma humano se desarrolla desde el momento del nacimiento y evoluciona según nuestro estilo de vida, cómo puede enfermar y cómo podemos fomentar la salud del intestino con sencillas estrategias. Reseñas: " Alimenta tu cerebro es un hito científico. Por primera vez, el doctor Perlmutter nos enseña por qué tenemos que cuidar nuestro jardín interno, nuestro microbioma, y nos ofrece un plan -radical, pero simple- para reiniciar, restaurar y renovar nuestra flora intestinal."

Es líder indiscutible en el manejo de la medicina convencional y alternativa en el tratamiento de desórdenes neurológicos. Le he mandado pacientes que me lo agradecen toda la vida. Él está a la vanguardia y puede ayudar a cambiar la forma en que hacemos medicina en el mundo." Dr. Mehmet Oz
