    Book Description

    The truth about drug testing: Why drug users are passing and non-users are failing.

    * Backed by 172 medical references, written in easy-to-understand language.

    * Discloses the foods and medications that will cause a false positive test.

    * Uncovers how drug testing can be used to discriminate against women and minorities.

    * Medical secrets of passing drug tests revealed. Author Kent Holtorf, M.D. wrote this book to debunk the myths associated with drug testing. Backed with 172 medical references, this first-of-its-kind testament exposes the discrimination as well as ethical issues surrounding drug testing and raises serious questions about the accuracy of such tests. People are being denied employment because of false positive tests due to medications and many common foods that they are not aware of. These injustices have not previously surfaced because employers rarely tell job candidates or employees that they failed a drug test. Thus, people are unaware that they were denied employment or forced from their job due to a false positive result.

    For instance, did you know how easy it is to fail a drug test, even if you've never taken drugs? Did you know the foods you eat can cause you to test positive? And did you know the many other surprising ways you could falsely test positive? If you didn't, you'll want to arm yourself with the knowledge found in this book. If you don't, you could be the next person denied employment due to a false positive drug test.

    Also, the author doesn't believe that drug testing offers any benefit in deterring or treating illicit drug use. And, he says, it violates the rights of those it is designed to protect. Thus, he has no reservations about revealing medical secrets to passing drug tests.

    5 out of 5 stars Read this first - if you _must_ pee in a cup.......2004-02-03

    As a supervisor at one time or another in my working career, I have wondered about drug tests. People who swear to me they are "clean" (and I have believed them) have failed. People I'd swear to you weren't clean, passed. I myself had to take repeated urine tests because there was something "a little wrong" with the results.

    This book gives you the info about why non-users fail and users pass. For instance, the book statesthe usage of the over the counter eyedrop "Visine" will produce a false positive for marijuana. This seems amazing, but Dr Holtorf explains the reactions in clear language so you understand how that situation gives that particular result. This is _NOT_ a "how to pass the drug test" book, so if that's what you're looking for, you have to look someplace else. But if you are wondering how do the tests determine who's sing and who is not, this is the book for you. I recommend it highly.

    1 out of 5 stars Ur-Ine Double Trouble.......2003-04-09

    This book and it's author are a good example of what a highly educated person can produce to support their business of earning money by testifying for defense attornies. It twists truth and mixes it with truth and outright misleading information. The author knows enough about toxicology to fool the uneducated and ignorant. It's a good advertisement for his services and shows to what length he'll go to earn a buck.

    Constant consistent accurate truth it is not.

    5 out of 5 stars Urine Testing Shocker.......2000-06-15

    This book is absolutely necessary for everyone to read and own because in the future, it will be almost impossible for anyone to avoid urine testing. There is a major move in the United States to force urine testing upon the public. The mandatory program is called "stick and dip." Mandatory urine testing is being considered in public schools, in court rooms, on our public highways, etc. It's already mandatory in a wide range of settings -- to list a few, doctor's offices, hospitals, employment, insurance.

    This book is well written and explains in very clear detail what urine testing is all about. It is easy to understand and easy to explain to those who insist upon urine testing. This book is shocking because it reveals the real truth about urine testing and the irreparable damage and injury that is being done to society.

    This book is not written for drug abusers so they can avoid detection. It is written for the innocent consumer who isn't aware that what he or she ingests could lead them down a road of disaster with no remedy. The author courageously arms the innocent consumer with knowledge to protect themselves against the urine testing Gestapo. Don't leave home without this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Important, informative, timely........2000-06-06

    In Ur-ine Trouble: The Truth About Drug Tests, Dr. Kent Holtorf identifies what common foods will cause a false positive drug test; explains how African-Americans and minorities can be at a disadvantage for certain types of drug tests; reveals what women can be tested for without their knowledge; and shows what household products can cover up drugs in human urine. Quite literally, what you had for breakfast could cost you your job in this present age of random drug testing in the workplace. Ur-ine Trouble: The Truth About Drug Tests is an important, informative, timely addition to personal, health center, and community library medical reference collections.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent, Scarey, Helpful ý READ THIS BOOK!.......1998-05-04

    This book discusses the reason you need to be informed if you work for a company that has mandatory drug testing or want to work for a company requiring pre-employment testing. By disclosing current medications prior to testing you give an employer insight into medical information they do not have the right to know about you. Failure to disclose can cause false positives. Your rights are being compromised. Don't learn it the hard way like I did. Dr. Holtorf should be commended for telling us what the rest of the medical profession wishes to sweep under the rug.

        Book Description

        For centuries, notions such as the transformation of base into precious metals, an accord between humans and planets, the existence of an elixir of life, or prediction of the date of death, have been on the outermost fringes of science. So too have aspects of an art critical to western thought, what the Greeks termed, astronomia: an amalgam of astronomy and astrology. In Blinded By Starlight, Dr Frank McGillion demonstrates how by reference to modern scientific studies into the pineal gland, such assertions are perilously close to being shown to be, to a greater or lesser extent, true.

        5 out of 5 stars An eye-opening blend of science and mysticism.......2003-04-19

        As a student of how mainstream science treats subjects supposedly hovering hopelessly on its fringes, I found Frank McGillion's latest non-fiction book captivating.

        At one level, Blinded by Starlight is a straightforward account, from a scientist with long medical experience, of the history of that hybrid of astronomy and astrology that our ancestors termed astronomia and how discoveries about the pineal gland and its regulation of melatonin have identified the influence that this previously mysterious gland exerts on our lives.

        But McGillion has taken his account to an even more fascinating level by showing how and why the traditional ideas of the physician-astrologers may very well have a basis in solid scientific fact.

        The discoveries with which his book primarily deals concern the pineal gland in the human brain -- the 'third eye' venerated by mystics of east and west. The name is not merely fanciful since the gland actually is light sensitive (and even used for vision by some species). However, in humans its primary function is that of regulating the production of melatonin: the hormone that, amongst many other things, profoundly influences human sexual behaviour and reproduction.

        The first clues as to the effects melatonin exerts on human fertility came from a study of Eskimo women which found that menstruation ceased during the long arctic winter. Blind women, too, have been found to be less fertile than sighted women.

        Repeated studies concluded that the longer hours of daylight in summer causes a decrease in melatonin production. Since melatonin inhibits fertility in women, the decrease makes women more fertile. More simply, the longer the daylight hours, the more fertile women become.

        Further research found that melatonin influences a number of other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands, and also affects a variety of brain hormones and neurotransmitters.

        It was also found to have effects on more general processes such as the overall balance of chemicals in the body, and the function of our body clock.

        More surprising is the discovery that some of the effects of melatonin can take years to come about. When melatonin was administered to newborn rats, for instance, it was found to delay the onset of puberty much later in life.

        Crucially, however, this effect only took place if the melatonin was administered in a critically short period of days around the time of birth.

        It is at this point that the ideas of the physician- astrologers make an appearance. If exposure to melatonin during a critically short period around birth can affect important developmental stages in later life, and if melatonin production is controlled by day length and other cosmological factors, then crucial life developments are indeed determined by the state of the heavens at the time of birth, just as the physician- astrologers claimed. And if this is the case then what other, similar, long range effects might be determined by the time we enter the world?

        Another main plank of McGillion's argument is that we now know it isn't only sunlight that affects the pineal gland and hence production of melatonin, many forms of electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields have similar effects - as indeed may other putative fields that appear to interact with living systems, but have yet to be comprehensively investigated - as in the case of the fertility test that mysteriously stopped working in 1938.

        McGillion describes, for example, the work of Professor Michael Persinger at Canada's Laurentian University who has carried out strikingly original investigations into the effects of magnetic fields on the human brain, promising in the treatment of depressive illness and -- even more interesting -- affecting our perception of consensual 'reality'.

        And it isn't only in the laboratory with experimental magnetic fields that such effects have been observed. There is now persuasive evidence that the Earth's own geomagnetic field can cause a wide range of phenomena, including increased aggressiveness in some animals. This discovery takes on greater significance when you know that some mainstream scientists believe the planets may influence geomagnetism, and that formal statistical studies have found a correlation in the Twentieth Century between wars and increased geomagnetic activity.

        The incidence of seizures and death in animals and humans is also increased during periods of geomagnetic fluctuation. One theory is that this may be partly due to the suppression of the production of melatonin by geomagnetism -- melatonin having a pronounced anticonvulsant action.

        It's not just homing pigeons that are sensitive to magnetic fields. The iron compound magnetite is present in many of our body tissues and forms receptors called 'magnetosomes' which detect changes in magnetic field strength. Brain tissues, too, contain magnetite, especially the pineal gland.

        A study of water diviners showed that when their heads were shielded, they no longer produced muscular responses to weak magnetic fields; the effect was attributed to magnetosomes in the area of the pineal.

        In the light of findings such as these, McGillion says; 'We know the exposure of new born babies to light changes melatonin secretion, which can lead, in turn, to alterations in development. We also know that ambient electromagnetic radiation at the time of birth alters the circulation of melatonin in humans, and that the planets - certainly as the physician-astrologers understood this term - influence this process.'

        'So is it possible that the cosmologically controlled radiations which new-borns are exposed to could predetermine their future physical, psychological, and indeed, spiritual, development as our forebears claimed? Some medical and scientific professionals certainly think so.'

        It is likely that many more will think so when they've read this highly original and utterly fascinating book.

            Book Description

            The forest ecosystems of the southern United States are the region's predominant land use and comprise vital resources of economic and biological significance. These forests, covering 85 million hectares or 40% of the land area, are subject to numerous physical and chemical stressors. Temperature, precipitation, and nutrition are three factors that currently limit forest ecosystem health and productivity in the region. In a changing global environment, these forest ecosystems face an unprecedented rate of change and will be directly and indirectly affected by additional stresses from air pollutants and climate change, including increasing concentrations of carbon dixoide, methane, other trace gases and atmospheric aerosols, and altered land use patterns. The research presented in this book provides a sound scientific basis for management and policy decisions regarding the productivity and sustainability of forest ecosystems in the context of a rapidly changing global environment. This volume is a synthesis of five years of field and laboratory research on southern forests conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to provide scientific assessments to the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The book will provide scientific information for policy makers and land use managers. It will also be of interest to researchers in the environmental disciplines of ecology, forestry, atmospheric science, hydrology, soil science, and biogeochemistry.

              Book Description

              And now, the long-awaited... "THEORY OF EVERYTHING" The Holy Grail of physics is found!

              As Stephen Hawking opined in his famous book, A Brief History of Time, "...if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists." Here indeed is that all-embracing final theory. It is simple and straightforward. It is for high-school kids and research scientists alike. It is a cause-and-effect exposition of our entire physical world of observation. It is NOT some abstruse or crackpot idea to replace Einstein's theory of general relativity and the many other such misconceptions that still plague physical science and warp the logic of everyday experience. Just as simply refute it AND COLLECT UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS! The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the status quo - are the ones who do. Think different. Think straight. We have the faculty. WE HAVE NOW ALSO THE CRITICAL HARD DATA. Read the book in the new light for the greatest conceptual breakthrough OF ALL TIME!

              Book Description

              Dear Reader:

              In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance novels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them. Nine of these stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All immediately went out of print and could be found only at used bookstores and yard sales.

              I'm excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released by HarperCollins. Back to the Bedroom is presented here in almost original form. I've done only minor editing to correct some embarrassing bloopers missed the first time around.

              I lived in northern Virginia when I wrote Back to the Bedroom. My children were young, and we spent a lot of time visiting the Washington, D.C. museums and wandering through the historic neighborhoods. One day while strolling Capitol Hill I came upon two townhouses that captured my imagination. The houses were totally different -- a birthday cake of a house and a bran muffin of a house, and yet they shared a common wall. I wondered about the people who lived inside the houses. And eventually the houses inspired Back to the Bedroom.

              Back to the Bedroom is the story of a young woman with the soul of a birthday cake living in a bran muffin house -- and a nice-looking guy with the substance of a bran muffin living in a birthday cake. They share some misadventures, some romantic moments, some misunderstandings, and ultimately they turn into wedding cake.

              And for Plum fans, you'll be interested to find that this was the first of the four romances to feature Elsie Hawkins, the prototype for Grandma Mazur.

              Stop! Newsflash! Evanovich states in a little insert here that Elsie Hawkins - the eccentric elderly boarder with our heroine - is the prototype for (drumroll...) Grandma Mazur. Say no more! The book itself is pretty crazy. Cellist Katherine Finn - Kate - gets a terrible shock when a camera pod from a helicopter crashes through her roof - and the floor below, down onto her bed... Then it rains through the hole. Amazing stuff, really. Well, interested neighbour David Dodd witnesses all this - so it's a good excuse to introduce himself. Help her cover her roof, contact friends about carpentry, feed her dinner, help her with furniture and her new tenant, Elsie. Just being friendly, you know. (Yeah, right.) Help her when she breaks her leg. Help her right into his bed after a brief romance. David's excellent for that sort of sexy neighbourly thing with a flummoxed Kate. Trouble is, Kate thinks he's a bum. He stays home most days and doesn't appear to have a job, whereas she's a driven Type-A musician on a very tight schedule. Ah, but the chemistry! Of course there's people waving guns and knives and stuff running around, and - not a dog this time, but kittens. Car crashes. Fires. Explosions. Excellent sex - did I mention that? You know the drill. Enjoy.

              I loved this book!! It reminded me of the Stephanie Plum novels. The character, Elsie, in the book is the prototype for Grandma Mazur in the Plum novels!! A quick and enjoyable read that had me laughing out loud!!

              4 out of 5 stars Fun Quick Read.......2007-04-14

              This book is an earlier work of hers, so it is not the same quality as the Plum books. But hey, people grow in their work.
              So just enjoy this book as a quick fun read, to enjoy when you don't want to have to think so much.

              1 out of 5 stars don't bother.......2007-03-09

              This is the worst book I ever read of listened to. I suffered through the whole thing waiting for a good part. Don't waste your time.

              Stupid. Don't waste your time. I enjoy the "Numbered" novels and was greatly disappointed by this sappy, unrealistic Harlequin-esque romance. Blah.

              Book Description

              The lights are low. Your favorite sultry tunes are playing quietly in the background. The phone is off the hook. A scented candle is burning. Your man sits in the center of the room, eagerly awaiting the surprise you’ve been planning for weeks. Slowly, you make your entrance, dressed in a little black number you bought on the sly. As his jaw drops you slink toward him, moving to the rhythm of the music. You’ve got his attention now, and the night has only just begun.

              The art of the striptease involves more than a revealing costume, stiletto heels, and a red feather boa. To successfully release your inner stripper, ladies, you’ve got to have the moves (of course!), but most important you have to exude self-confidence. With two decades of on-the-job experience, former exotic dancer Mary Taylor offers a wealth of advice for women on how to cast aside their insecurities and inhibitions. Full of tips on choosing the right time, setting, music, lighting, costume, and persona, and step-by-step instructions on basic and more advanced striptease moves, Bedroom Games is your key to turning your (and his!) most secret sexual fantasies into reality and giving the man in your life a night he won’t soon forget!

              5 out of 5 stars Surprise!.......2006-10-10

              This book was not what I expected. I must admit it was a pleasant surprise. I found it easy to follow and very well grounded in relationships. Even though I am a very visual person and usually find books without at least diagrams a let down...this one was not. There were no pictures but the explanations are so clear...it is hard to get it wrong. The author includes personal stories to help the reader grasp the material and it is a wonderful combination. Great book!!! I highly recommend it!!!!

              5 out of 5 stars I am a beginner..........2006-07-29

              What a wonderful book! I did not need pictures just an active imagination. It was easy for me to follow the directions that was given. I would recommend this to all women whether you are shy or insecure or outgoing it will be helpful.

              I am practicing the moves. I share my desires with my partner and he is looking forward to me dancing for him. It is all about how we feel -- if we feel good and enjoy what we do then they will enjoy it with us.

              She (Mary Taylor) has dvds and videos and other items on her website. It was a big help!!! I can only get better!!

              5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2006-03-19

              Bought this book as a present for my friend and she was thrilled! Even better she didn't have to wait long for it to arrive.

              1 out of 5 stars Beginners Only.......2006-02-12

              I bought this book implusively, and it's going back. It's aimed at women who are insecure and inexperienced. Renting 9 1/2 Weeks would be a better use of your time, unless you really think you need a pep talk, too. And tips on how to make your own sexy outfits with a glue gun and velcro. Pass.

              4 out of 5 stars entertaining, but no pictures.......2004-09-12

              Maybe it's just me, but when someone is teaching me how to dance, I like a picture (or, better yet, video) of how each move goes. It takes more practice when you're reading about it. Other than that, this is a great book. I learned some new things and can't wait to try them out on a live person!

              5 out of 5 stars Fun Heat.......2005-09-24

              Part of the Wrong Bed series by Harlequin Temptations Back In The Bedroom is a fun, fast read with lots of humor and intriguing characters. Tessa Delacantro is the baby in a family of three. She is accustomed to being looked after by her older brother and sister. She's been doted upon, perhaps a bit too much. Finally, she's struck out on her own - so to speak. Her older sister lives in the apartment right next door and photographer big brother is just a phone call away. But Tessa has her pride. She drives an older, unreliable used car instead of allowing her family to buy her a new one. She works at a temp agency doing accounting work. The temp agency is because she seeks adventure, change and challenges. All things that have led to her current position working for a billionaire playboy. Her boss is heading out of the States for a holiday and Tessa is scheduled to watch his mansion for him. I mean, what could be more fun than house-sitting for the rich and famous? How about walking in on the middle of an armed robbery, and then being thrown into a small space with a younger, more handsome version of the boss man? Not much.

              Reilly Ledger has had a chip on his shoulder for a long time. He thinks his father got his mother pregnant then bailed on the family. Now, years later he's trying to get back into their life. Reilly doesn't like it. He goes to his father's to have a little chat with the man, but interrupts an armed robbery. He takes out several of the offenders but is then taken by surprise, knocked unconscious, and thrown into the servant's quarters. When he wakes a cute young thing is in there with him. He assumes it's another of his father's flings. Much to his surprise, he finds she is his father's employee.

              You think that's a lot? That's only the first couple chapters. So much more happens, but I hate spoilers. Jill Shalvis is fast becoming one of my must have authors. Though Tessa is not a heroine I would normally root for Shalvis has done such a magnificent job of making her a well-flushed character, I couldn't help but smile and root for her. And Reilly? Yum sums this man up. If you are looking for some fun heat, definitely check out Back In The Bedroom and any other of Shalvis' titles.

              When Tessa Delacantro agrees to house-sit, she doesn't expect armed robbers to throw her into the taut arms of the sexiest stranger she's ever met - Reilly Ledger. They're trapped together in a small room with an even smaller bed and a long, cold night ahead. Soon she's aching for his warmth, his touch...his mouth....

              When ex-CIA agent Reilly helps Tessa escape, they swear to put their night of passion behind them. Tessa isn't usually attracted to a man so stoic, edgy and...dangerous. And Reilly is sure he'll never be the man Tessa deserves. But if it's so wrong, why does it feel so right? Because bed or no bed, nothing can stop what's started...

              4 out of 5 stars heated humorous romance.......2004-02-01

              In La Canada, California, she was doing a favor for her boss when she agreed to house sit his posh abode. However, no one warned Tessa Delacantro how dangerous house sitting can become. Armed robbers invade the home leaving a frightened Tessa stuck in a frozen room with her only potential warmth being the other prisoner, her employer's son CPA Reilly Ledger. Sharing a small bed and a need for warmth leads to the most passionate evening either ever had.

              Former CIA agent Reilly manages to get Tessa out of the potential hostage mess. Afterward, both agree the cold and the moment brought the heat to equatorial levels, but that was last night in the wrong bed and this is freedom and the morning after. Still, neither can forget the best night of their respective lives in spite of the danger, but Reilly believes that a good woman like Tessa deserves a more grounded and safer person than someone like him guarding her heart and still trying to mentally come in from the cold.

              BACK IN THE BEDROOM is a heated humorous romance with some early suspense that readers will fully enjoy and be tempted to search for Jill Shalvis' back list (worth the effort). The story line is fast-paced as the enchanting duo sing "I'm Not In Love", but cannot get enough of the other. Torrid funny fun for contemporary fans.
