“Management of Tuberculosis” has been extensively updated in 2017 by expert infectious diseases and respiratory clinicians across Australia. This newly revised editioon incorporates recent evidence and international guidelines on a variety of aspects of tuberculosis, contextualised throughout for the Australian setting. It is an accessible guide for both junior and senior clinicians alike.

Being Sam

Being Sam opens a different window on the world. It may make you smile, it may make you cry …

Being Sam is memoir of life and death, rascal chromosomes and rogue cancer cells, and a lot of love in between, written by Sam’s mother, Morag Zwartz.

Diagnosed with leukaemia at two, Sam astonished his medical team by surviving so many relapses before the disease took its toll.

About the Author

Morag Zwartz began as a journalist in New Zealand, at The Press, Christchurch, where she was able to pursue an interest in investigating stories behind the scenes.

Later, in Australia, she wrote The New Age Gospel: Christ or Counterfeit? – a detailed investigation of the New Age movement in all its forms (1987). Two exposes of religious cults followed: Fractured Families (2004) and Apostles of Fear (2008).

Five Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle

IT’S TRICKY BEING PART OF THE SANDWICH GENERATION.

Why are we called that? It’s simple – we’re sandwiched between our kids who are possibly still finding their way and our parents who are possibly losing theirs.

When reading 5 Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle, stories may sound all too familiar. You may think I’m zeroing in on your family.

Trust me, I’m not, because my stories come from a variety of places around the globe in western civilisations.

It’s so important for you to realise that you’re not alone in this tricky transitional journey. Many of your friends and colleagues may also be perplexed with the issues of impending Aged Care for their loved ones.

Talk with them, talk with the type of professionals mentioned in this book and make the process easier. It doesn’t have to be hard. Talking can ease what you’re going through.

Imagine the process being easy, because you enlisted the help of professionals who do this every day and know all the tips and tricks of this ever-changing process.

Moving a loved one into Aged Care is not a Set and Forget process. It requires follow-up with the Aged Care Home staff, observation of changes, continuing to pay bills and shopping for incidentals, but your loved one will be safe.

And if you’ve been involved in full-time care for a loved one, you’ll possibly find that after 24/7 care is over, you may begin to remember the funnier moments.

The User’s Manual For Your Body

  • HOW THE BODY HANDLES THE FOOD WE EAT
  • WHY WE GET OBESITY AND BECOME SICK
  • HOW TO CURE IT AND STAY HEALTHY

Your body is the most sophisticated thing in the Universe, and you should view it as your most treasured possession. But you did not arrive in this world with a user’s manual that tells you how your body works, particularly in relation to the food you put into it, and what goes wrong when you do things differently to how you have evolved.

Two thirds of western society are either overweight or suffering from obesity. This a potent source of unhappiness, extending in many to anxiety, stress and clinical depression. But there’s also a significantly increased risk of serious diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and diabetes. If you contract any of these there’s a very good chance you will die prematurely.

Statistics show that what we are currently doing is clearly not working. And that’s because people simply don’t know or have been given the wrong information. The User’s Manual For Your Body provides in simple terms everything you need to know.

About the Authors

JOHN ARONIS

MBBus (Acc) GradDipCA MComm MA (PAIS) CA CTA

John was born in Sydney, and was raised in Brisbane with some of his childhood spent in Goondiwindi, Murgon, and Yeppoon. He now calls Brisbane home (or, more correctly, Pine Rivers Shire!)

He has a Bachelor’s degree in business, a Master’s degree in Commerce, and a Master of Arts in Political and International Studies. He is a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor, and is Principal of his accountancy business based in Brisbane.

John has experienced a personal battle with obesity for many years, and like many individuals was left frustrated and totally confused by the lack of authoritative information on how best to deal with it. His personal story can be found in his bio video.

After studying the topic extensively and putting into practice the Nysteia Formula he has now reached his biological optimum weight (BOW). And importantly, he will never again become overweight and progress to obesity.

With his good friend and business partner, Dr Andrew Renaut, he has developed Nysteia and put all of this experience and knowledge into the one place, so that others may derive the same benefit.

When he is not working, John likes to maintain his physical and mental wellbeing by continuing with the Nysteia Formula on a daily basis.

John is a trained classical guitarist, but can damn well play the blues on a Fender Stratocaster, and shares this guitar passion with Andrew. He also enjoys flying planes, walking in rainforests, and practicing the Japanese martial art of Aikido in which he holds the rank of 3rd Dan Black Belt. As often as he can, he returns to Osaka Japan, which he considers paradise on Earth.
