I absolutely dread the idea of her having to go through any of this. My greatest hope is that Dr. Cook's idea of Endometriosis being its own specialized field (e.g. Cardology) comes to fruition. This would mean my daughter would have several physicians to choose from, instead of trying to find a needle in a haystack of Endo-illiterate physicians."

"Handbook with concise step by step bullet points through the most important procedures that any resident in radiology (IR or aspiring) should own."
"If just starting in IR, the 'Survival Guide' is a good book for the basics."
"Focus on the indications/contraindications and the complications of the procedure, it seems like that's what they expected medical students to know."
"Most of the book has an e-book component which I was not aware of but has been very helpful while at work so I can access it on my phone."
"Good but I have been looking at the online version as I find the print in the book to be rather small, and I can also use my phone to view it."
"Chapters like bronchial artery embolization, materials and methods in angiography as well as other sections are important parts of our daily interventional life but are not in the hard copy. But if the responsible party chooses to save cost after having the consumer buy the book at full price is just plain wrong."
"BUT, my book ends at page 613 yet the index states fallopian tube recanalization can be found on pages 742-745 and GU system on page 879?"

Im going on to my 3rd yr now after reading this book and changing to whole plants I feel like I did when I was in grade school with energy and skip in my step. Never being a gym person, I've recently begun to add modest exercise 1 or 2x per week in the past 6 months which makes me feel additionally very good after a 45 min workout. My version of it goes like this: 1-1.5 cups of raw oatmeal, sliced fresh strawberries, blueberries, figs, dates, rasins, prunes, add fresh blackberries and/or raspberries or whatever fruit you want. The other thing I do is make 2-liters of green smoothies and drink it all throughout my day. I change up the frozen fruit in the smoothie (I'll use frozen mangos, pineapple, strawberries...for leafy green I may use a combo of baby spinach, kale, chard); here is an example of a smoothie I made today: 3 cups baby spinach, 1.5 cups of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), 2 apples, 2 pears, ground flax seed and chia seeds, 2 bananas, 2fl-oz of almond milk+2fl-oz of spring water. After making the smoothie, take two to three large containers of the smoothie with u to work and drink this all through the day. For dinner, I started out using the "big salad" recipe that can be found at chrisbeatcancer.com In two weeks of consisitent eating whole plant based diet, I began to notice the change and feel better overall; the positive change in two weeks kept me going, week after week, month after month."
"Americans, Australians and New Zealanders drink the most milk, and have the most bone fractures from middle age on. The facts, usually contrary to everything we’ve been taught, keep coming fast and hard. They have corrupted our universities with grants, infiltrated government agencies to keep the truth at bay, and spend billions advertising their false promises. The scientific proof is endless – and so are the defenders of the SAD – Standard American Diet - that is about one third animal, between meat and dairy. When I read the first China Study ten years ago, I immediately went back online and ordered a whole case of them."

Best Medical Biotechnology
Explains why translation of biotech discovery into medicine succeeds so infrequently that it’s been dubbed the Valley of Death Uncovers specific decision-making strategies that more effectively align incentives, improving clinical and financial outcomes for investors, inventor/entrepreneurs, and patients Examines the critical, early stages of commercialization, where technology transfer offices and Angels act as gatekeepers to development, and where tension between short-term financial and long-term clinical aspirations sinks important technologies Deconstructs the forces driving biotech, recasts them in a proven conceptual framework, and offers practical guidance for making the system better. He is currently an associate professor at Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) in Pennsylvania and an attending physician at the Lankenau Medical Center, where he specializes in medical oncology, runs an immunology research laboratory, and teaches in the Hematology/Oncology fellowship program.

"It is the only book that clearly explains the pitfalls that are unique to biotech investment: high technical complexity, high risk, a long timeline to return on investment (ROI), the extreme technical complexity and how to overcome them. It then explains how each of these Gaps works against biotech investors and gives examples of how some biotech innovators are making changes for the better."
"Dessain and Fishman have written a much needed and honest account of the challenges early stage biotechnology companies face when seeking funding. Preserving the Promise is written by two experienced professionals - one is a doctor, professor, and biotech company founder, and the other is a successful businessman who is an early stage angel investor. Funding for early companies is extremely small, compared to potential for success, especially for the ground-breaking science the is required to create high potential drugs for large populations."
"Dessain’s and Fisherman’s “Preserving the Promise – Improving the Culture of Biotech Investment” is easy to read and understand and ideally suited for anyone considering to participate in this game as well as those that are involved already. Compared to other industries there often are no well-defined objective criteria to judge a proposed product and this is further blurred by unknowns and high attrition rates lurking in the clinical development program. Preserving the Promise also looks at the roles of the Public Sector (Technology Transfer Offices) and Scientists (Inventors) and provide helpful insight into the different mechanisms, forces and sometimes lunacies at play."
