Abstract
As parents, we always strive to provide the best for our children, making sure they are well prepared to face the many challenges that life presents. Managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of those challenges that touches nearly 1 in 4 families. Whether you have had many years of experience in managing ADHD with your child, or only a few short months, ADHD is not left at home when your child heads to college.
Adapting to life at college is especially difficult for children with ADHD, who often find it challenging to adapt to long lectures, pages and pages of assigned reading, and semester-long group projects. While inattention may have been effectively controlled with medications throughout high school, the extended hours of reading and studying demand that students remain attentive and organized, while simultaneously being creative and clever in their thoughts and writing.
The college experience should be one of seeking opportunities and exploring career options. For students with ADHD, the experience is just the opposite, with limited options and dwindling opportunities. While many colleges have services in place to assist students with learning disabilities, a handful rise above the rest in customizing programs and curriculum with the ADHD learner in mind. This guide provides an overview of these colleges, their programs and success stories. Before making your first college visit, make sure you arm yourself with this book, and know the most important questions to ask on the visit.

Abstract
The down economy has given rise to an enormous amount of personal and cultural change. People have been laid off, downsized, some have come out of retirement due to lost portfolio assets, and divorce rates among the Boomer generation are skyrocketing.

How does any one person absorb, process and integrate such a high rate of rapid change and still maintain a healthy, positive outlook on life? This is the question facing our culture today.
Many people are drastically unprepared for the rate and intensity of change we are facing today. As the pace of life continues to quicken with the advent of new and more efficient technologies, and the world becomes more of a global marketplace, we are each faced with the need for greater levels of adaptability and resilience.
What If It’s… Time for a Change helps you understand your own personal experience of change, while understanding the dynamics of the human change process. This book provides tools, insights and practical strategies to deal with changes that have come your way unexpectedly, or to strengthen your capacity to initiate and succeed in creating the life change that you desire.

Abstract
The dull pain starts behind your eye, like it always does when you are stressed and overtired. You know that a migraine is developing, and start to wonder how you will manage this one. Grandma always told you to turn off the lights and apply hot compresses to your forehead. Your co-worker swears by her megadoses of Vitamin B Complex. You love the convenience of over-the-counter combination analgesics with caffeine. You have heard of prescription nasal sprays, pain killers classified as controlled substances, and even something about injectable bacterial toxins.
There are as many choices for treating migraines as there are triggers for these debilitating headaches. What worked one time for you does not work every time. Some medications take the edge off the pain, but cause other problems with nausea or tiredness. Some medications have lingering side effects or could be causing more serious problems later in life.
What If It’s…™ Migraine Treatments and Remedies provides an in depth review of the available treatments, from home remedies to prescription drugs to sprays and injections.

ADHD (Series Book)
Title: ADHD
Author: Sarah Milford
Formats: Paperback, eBook, Mobile App
Coming Soon!
Abstract
There is no clinical laboratory test for ADHD. To make matters worse, more than 50 other conditions have symptoms that can be mistaken as ADHD. In fact, 4 in 10 children are misdiagnosed and are unnecessarily receiving stimulant medications to control the symptoms of ADHD.
Adapted from the proven Nurse Navigator ADHD Health History Questionnaire pioneered at Portrait Health Centers, this guide will help the reader navigate through the conditions that look like ADHD. A comprehensive exploration of the sensory, behavioral, social, medical, nutritional and physical sources of inattention and hyperactivity guides the reader to a better understanding of the treatable conditions that need to be considered and ruled out as possible contributors to the symptoms being observed. As a result, an accurate diagnosis can be achieved.
Without an accurate diagnosis, no treatment can be effective.

Pre-Diabetes (Series Book)
Title: Pre-Diabetes
Author: Dr. Jack Maggiore
Formats: Paperback, eBook, Mobile App
Coming Soon!
Abstract
Pre-diabetes, as the name implies, indicates a state or a period before the onset of diabetes. A relatively new term in the medical community, pre-diabetes is a wake-up call for those who are on a track of developing adult-onset diabetes unless a change is made to diet and lifestyle. Pre-diabetes is the gray zone that was created between “normal” levels of blood glucose and what has been established as diabetes according to diagnostic standards.
For the nearly 60 million Americans with pre-diabetes, yes approximately 1-in-5, responding to this wake-up call is critical to avoid the devastating and debilitating effects of diabetes. You may be on a path towards a life-shortening disease, but it is not a path of no return. What If It’s…™ Pre-Diabetes provides a deeper understanding of this condition, looking at how you got to this state, and providing guidance on how to avoid the progression to diabetes that was once thought to be inevitable. What If It’s…™ Pre-Diabetes is the answer to the cry “…If only I had known that I could have done something to avoid diabetes, I would have.”
Dr. Jack Maggiore, a medical technologist specialist in clinical diagnostics, has developed medical devices and programs designed to tackle this runaway epidemic. Detection, Education, Awareness, and Lifestyle Changes is the acronym that Dr. Maggiore advocates to DEAL with pre-diabetes.
