A Forty-Year Retrospective of President Nixon’s Committee on Health Education
A Whistle-Blower’s Diary

Overview:

Corruption within the Nixon administration was not limited to Watergate; his Committee on Health Education ignored and suppressed the opinions of professional health educators. In this history, two education insiders explain why and how the committee was a sham from the beginning. One of the authors—Joy Garrison Cauffman—participated on the committee and was threatened by President Nixon’s representatives for expressing her opinions.

Now Cauffman and her coauthor, Ronald L. Linder, reveal how political insiders took steps to form the bogus committee; how President Nixon and his people quashed the recommendations of educators; how slush funds drive what goes on in Washington, DC; and how bureaucrats continue to distort the issues related to health education.

Several committee members argued against the predetermined outcomes of the committee’s work, but they were silenced—and the price they paid for speaking up is shocking.

The future of health care in America is critically dependent on our ability to educate people on how to establish and maintain their health. But to make that possible, we must learn from the mistakes showcased in A Forty-Year Retrospective of President Nixon’s Committee on Health Education.

Overview:

Author Anselm Anyoha struggled with finding time to exercise because, like so many others, he worked long hours.

When the weight started to add up and his overall health declined, however, he realized something needed to change. His doctor wanted him to take pills, but that was just going to cover up a problem—not fix it.

While he had previously enjoyed fast food, refined cereal, soda, and other goodies, he cut those out of his diet and retooled his lifestyle. Now, he takes responsibility for what he eats. In this handbook for healthy living, he shares how to

• equip yourself with credible information about food;
• discover truths about your own body that can help you lose weight;
• appreciate the dynamics between weight maintenance and physical fitness; and
• understand the relationship between obesity and diseases such as hypertension.

By researching nutrition, resisting the food industry’s ploys to win his taste buds, and relying on willpower, Anyoha lost thirty pounds—and he’s kept it off for more than two years. You can match and beat his results by taking control of your health.

Confessions of a Human Sperm

Confessions of a Human Sperm
By R.S. Jeyendran

Published: 5/9/2013
Format: Perfect Bound Softcover(B/W)
Pages: 54
Size: 6x9
ISBN: 978-1-47598-879-6
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Throughout history, mankind has wondered about its origin - where he came from and how he got here. “Where did I come from?” is one of the first questions our own children ask us.

But the real question should be ‘What are mankind’s building blocks’? For posterity’s sake, the answer is sperm! Rather than giving the female egg all the credit, as is usually the case, let’s shine the light on this silent, unsung hero – the sperm – shall we? So to the question ‘What came first, the chicken or the egg?’ we can unequivocally state Who Cares! Because without sperm, there would be no question to ask now, would there?

Being the author and merely a man, I thought it more apropos to go to an actual source for the truth. So to that end, I found one who will walk and talk you through all you need to know about sperm, including things you never knew were possible along with those amazing things you might have heard but wondered if they were really true. And even though you are a human and will be getting your story from a human sperm, s/he will even throw in tidbits about some of your animal friends for comparison purposes. So, come and meet the little guy who will tell you all you need to know.
