Don't Worry, You're Not Imagining It; New Book Offers Tips to Get Rid of Irritating Health Problems


CANBERRA, Australia, Nov. 7, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Something is bothering you -- Maybe it's a headache, the pain you feel here and there. You know it's not your imagination, even if your doctor has told you there's nothing wrong with you. You don't want to become dependent on painkillers but you need to address that pain now. "Clinical Pearls for Better Health: Good Ideas for Irritating Problems" (now available through 1stBooks Library) by Donald McDowall may be just the book for you.

In "Clinical Pearls," McDowall brings 28 years of experience as a chiropractor and years of research to respond to health problems that are not so serious but are still irritating. He also offers tips on subjects ranging from dieting to exercise. For instance, "Clinical Pearls" shows how a little bicarb soda in a glass of water before heavy exercise helps one avoid back or leg strain. McDowall explains that the solution prevents lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue. Here's a way to control food intake and make that diet work: a banana 15 minutes before every meal helps suppress appetite. And here's a simple way to stimulate appetite when tired: a teaspoon of lemon juice to a little water five minutes before eating.

McDowall realized the need to publish "Clinical Pearls" after his patients asked him many questions that were not directly related to spinal adjustments but could affect their overall recovery anyway. He then did his research, picking some ideas from colleagues and friends. Before he knew it, he had compiled a database of 9,000 abstracts. Ultimately, McDowall hopes "Clinical Pearls" will help readers gain more control over their health and bodies, and be happier.

McDowall practices chiropractics in Canberra and is a diplomat of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the International Board of Applied Kinesiology since 1978. He has published three books: "A Clinical Approach to Health through Food Programming" (1976), "Psychic Surgery - The Philippines Experience" (1993) and "Healing - Doorway to the Spiritual World" (1998). He has an award-winning website on chiropractic healing, www.chiroclinic.com.au. Donald and his wife, Annie, have nine children.
