The Secret Life of Your Microbiome
Immerse Yourself in Nature and Nourish Your Microbiome for Optimal Health For too long our bodies have been viewed as capsules, sealed off and protected from 'bugs' by our immune systems and an arsenal of antibiotics, pesticides, processed foods, and antibacterial soaps. The more insulated from nature, the better. The Secret Life of Your Microbiome shatters this deeply held myth, presenting a revolutionary new paradigm, backed by vast science; we're deeply connected to the biodiversity of nature through our microbiomes, the rich microbial ecosystem of our guts and skin, and this connection is essential to health and happiness. From sugar-rich diets wiping out good gut bacteria and exacerbati...
The Allergy Epidemic
As an internationally renowned specialist in childhood allergy and immunology, Prof. Susan Prescott takes us on a journey into the science behind the allergy epidemic. As both an allergy specialist working in a busy children's hospital and as a cutting edge research scientist, Prescott is perfectly placed to explore how and why we are experiencing an epidemic rise in allergic diseases, as well as the practical side of dealing with these potentially serious conditions. With clear, no-nonsense explanations and a very personable style, Prescott informs, assures, and educates in this book.
The Calling
Monica Mary Job was one of only a few women doctors to graduate from university in the 1930s, and, as a descendant from a long line of missionaries, Monica inspired Stanley Prescott to leave England for missionary work in China - a decision made without forewarning of World War II and the Japanese occupation of China.This biography draws extensively on letters written by both Monica and Stanley as well as newspaper clippings, interviews and family lore to bring Monica and Stanley's story to life. Their shared story spanned three continents and four decades, and it is part of a greater story of faith, hope and love.This is a loving tribute--in the form of a biography--by their granddaughter Professor Susan Prescott who followed their lead into a distinguished medical career.

The developmental origins of various diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cancer are examined, as well as the early programming of reproductive health and different organs.

Origins
"Prevention is the ultimate approach to reducing the burden of all kinds of disease, and the greatest potential for success lies in early life. What happens during early critical periods of life can determine our longevity and our risk of disease decades later. In other words: how well we start life will determine how well we finish it. Dr. Susan Prescott, a pediatrician internationally recognised for her work in disease prevention through healthier lifestyles, takes us on a journey of health, beginning from the first moments of life, revealing how adverse conditions during the important stages of our development can have a far more profound effect on our body structures, functions and even ...
