Author of Lower Your Blood Pressure in Eight Weeks

More than seventy-five years ago, medical scientists declared magnesium to be an essential nutrient, indispensable to life. When this mineral is part of your diet, you are guarding against–and helping to alleviate–health threats such as heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, depression, arthritis, and asthma. But while research continues to reaffirm magnesium’s irreplaceable contribution to good health, many Americans remain dangerously deficient.

In The Miracle of Magnesium, Dr. Carolyn Dean, an authority on this mineral who has used it with dramatic success in her own practice, explains the vital role that magnesium plays in the control of many serious ailments–from painful muscle spasms and bladder problems to traumatic brain injury and complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Inside you will discover

• How diets and lifestyles can create a dangerous magnesium deficiency
• Which magnesium-rich foods keep your vital organs healthy and which to avoid
• Why other nutrients, including calcium, need magnesium to become potent
• What vitamins and minerals work with magnesium to treat specific ailments
• Why prescription medicines, such as birth control pills, can deplete magnesium
• Which magnesium supplements are best for you

Whether you need help with a serious health problem or merely want to protect the good health you already enjoy, The Miracle of Magnesium will answer all your questions. It may even save your life.

The Magnesium Miracle

Product Description

Intended for people who want to learn or brush-up on the basics of statistics but question their abilities, this book offers a slow-paced, entertaining introduction to the topic. Using playful headings to encourage students to read further, the book begins with an introduction to the “language” of statistics and then covers descriptive statistics (from computing measures of central tendency to distributions and curve plotting to graphing data) and inferential statistics (including probability, statistical significance, correlation/regression, ANOVA, and multiple regression).

Throughout the book, Salkind offers readers:

- A Difficulty Rating Index for each chapter

- Tips for doing and thinking about a statistical technique

- Top Ten for everything from the best ways to create a graph to the most effective techniques for data collection

- Tech talk boxes for readers who want additional details and commentary on statistical procedures – Things to Remember that offer readers reviews and reminders of how material presented earlier relates to a technique down into a clear sequence of procedures

- SPSS Tips for executing each major statistical technique

- Practice exercises at the end of each chapter followed by worked out solutions

The book concludes with a statistical software sampler and a description of the best Internet sites for statistical information and data resources. Readers of the book will also have access to a website for downloading actual data that they can use to practice additional exercises from the book. Researchers and students who find themselves uncomfortable with the analysis portion of their work will appreciate this book’s unhurried pace and thorough, friendly presentation.
