Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to examine the importance of alternative medicine to the African American population, this book focuses on the African American health belief system and the treatment strategies often used and documented. This book includes a cultural-historical view of alternative medicine's use within the African American community and shows how it was an integral part of African American culture. The author highlights a number of studies that examine alternative and complementary therapies associated with specific diseases among African Americans. Case studies are presented to show the types of alternative and complementary medicines used for specific diseases and to determine whether the alternative and complementary therapy was effective or not. Moreover, the cultural perceptions of the specific disease are presented to provide reasons why African Americans tend to use the particular alternative and complementary medical therapy for the disease. The book serves as a resource guide for students, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and the general public.

Book excerpt: Back To Our Roots -- For Good Health The good news for African Americans is that the secrets of getting healthy and staying healthy are rooted in time-honored traditions of our own heritage. Staying Strong: Reclaiming the Wisdom of African-American Healing explains how natural healing techniques, handed down through generations, can be used as a complement to modern medicine to help African Americans live fuller, happier, healthier lives -- to "live wholly." Discover how you can overcome the frustrations of chronic fatigue, depression, illness, or just not feeling well, by applying the principles of Whole Living -- Whole Living is natural -- using herbs, touch, foods, and the power of the mind to achieve good health. Whole Living is spiritual, helping you find the natural African-American spirit that means living life to its fullest. Whole Living combines modern medicine with the healing traditions of the past to provide the rich benefits of both methods. Whole Living looks at the complete person -- not just isolated parts to revitalize you in body, mind, and spirit. Staying Strong also addresses the specific health concerns of African-Americans, providing reliable alternative healing approaches to more than thirty diseases and health problems, as well as safe and effective natural remedies and advice on prevention.

Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Health Title It's no secret that African-Americans top the list of groups afflicted by hypertension, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, renal failure, and cancer. What the statistics do not show is the pain, misery, and despair that these conditions create, not only for the individual, but also for family and friends. As an African-American doctor, Dr. Richard Walker has studied these conditions among his patients for many years. Now, for the first time, Dr. Walker believes that research has found a commonsense way to prevent, reduce, and possibly eliminate these killers, turning the tide of African-American health. Dr. Walker begins by looking at the black community's lifestyle, which has radically changed over the centuries, shifting people from hours spent under a blazing sun to a life of minimum sunlight exposure. From there, it is clear that the missing puzzle piece of African-American health is a chronic lack of Vitamin D3. Most important, Dr. Walker explains how this crucial factor can be added to a daily routine along with components such as nutritional supplements, diet, and exercise. He then focuses on each major illness affecting the black community and explores what it is, what its symptoms are, and how the reader can avoid or treat the problem. A concise yet critical guide, African-American Healthy offers an important first step towards achieving a healthier, longer life for millions of people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written as a response to the growing health disparities within the African American communities in the US. The goals are to encourage a movement of greater holistic health awareness, empower the reader with knowledge that can be implemented immediately, and provide resources for the future needs of the community. The Black Family Health-O-Pedia was spearheaded by Dr. Turshá Hamilton an author, speaker, and educator. Dr. Turshá felt it was time that Naturopathic Doctors such as herself began to speak up and share their knowledge and experiences with the larger community. She felt that in order to have the African American community really begin to heal, that they must first know who to turn to for safe, accurate information about health and well being. Dr. Turshá invited 3 other brilliant doctors to come on the journey to heal the Black Family. This book is a result of that collaborative effort. For more information visit: www.BlackFamilyHealth.com
