Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Friends, family, and caregivers of those so afflicted.

Q: What is the book about?
A: The heart of the book consists of thirteen, riveting, in-depth stories of people and their families who fought back with courage, humor, creativity and a positive attitude. In addition to telling these stories, the book contains valuable information on how to find and use the latest medical developments and other valuable coping information about specific medical problems. There are scores of footnotes to valuable reference works I used in researching the book.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: spent much of six years researching and writing it. Before that I had recovered from eight major operations, including two open-heart operations, so I have walked the walk. The book is in no way autobiographical, but I occasionally borrow from my first-hand experience to support important points.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: The thirteen stories are about real, courageous people and their caregivers. This guarantees its uniqueness.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: There is much self-help wisdom in this book. From self-help organizations to web sites, it brims with useful information. The people the book focuses on have a wide variety of afflictions; various types of cancer – some survive, some don’t. Lou Gehrig’s disease usually kills it’s victims within two to five years. The book leads off with the story of a man and wife who together have fought his disease for nearly 30 years, and they are far from giving up. Several of the stories concern people with varying degrees of paralysis from illness and injury.

Relieve Stiffness And Feel Young Again With Undulation, By Anita Boser, LMP, CHP

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | January 8th, 2008

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Q. Who is the intended audience?
A. This book is for people who feel like they are not as young as they used to be. Stiffness, pain, and lack of energy keep them from activities or feeling as good as they remember. Most people over 40 fall in this category, but younger people who’ve been injured can benefit, too. If you are willing to spend five minutes a day on simple exercise that can be done most anywhere, this book will help restore lost vitality.

Q. What is the book about?
A. This exercise guide teaches how to keep your body fluid with undulation, a smooth motion. The 52 exercises are unique: they build balanced strength and flexibility, rehydrate the discs between the vertebrae, and restore function to stuck joints, which creates a healthier spine.

The Beginning Undulations (including Easy Sway and Happy Dog) are intended to wake up inactive muscles, so the body becomes aware of what it’s been missing. The Intermediate Exercises (such as Mermaid and Tailbone Penmanship) build on the basics and use more imaginative movements. The Advanced Undulations (Snake Charmer and Caressed by Waves, for example) get even more playful, and the Mastery Exercises are innovative explorations into the spine (culminating in Old Faithful).

Q. Why are you the best person to write this book?
A. I’ve developed undulation as an easy, stand alone exercise that takes only five minutes a day. Many of my clients aren’t up for yoga or Pilates, so I’ve taken the essential fluid building component of exercise and created something new that anybody can do.

As a Structural Integrator, I focus on helping my clients regain lost function. Many are injured, so I’ve written a book with a therapeutic focus.

We often think that easy movements aren’t as beneficial as hard ones. However, I’ve learned that what feels good is often the road to healing.

Q. How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A. Although the undulation movement is inherent in other movement forms like yoga and dance, it’s not given the spotlight in any other book. Most exercise alternates between building strength and then stretching to create flexibility. Undulation works on both at once.

Also, undulation movements are very small. Some of the exercises can be done while you’re around other people and no one will even notice. These tiny, slow movements target the tiny stabilizing muscles that many other forms of exercise ignore. Undulations literally bring fluid to places in the body that have been immobilized or dehydrated.

Q. Is there anything else we should know about this book?

A. The book is available in both a printed and an audio version. The printed version is Relieve Stiffness and Feel Young Again with Undulation and the audio version is Undulation Exercises. Both were written by Anita Boser, LMP, CHP with the Foreword by Mary Bond and the Introduction by Roger Golten.

Both have easy-to-follow and encouraging instructions. The printed version includes photographs of regular people doing the exercises. On the audio version, the exercises are set to inspiring music.

The Busy Person’s Fitness Solution – The Optimal Wellness System That Will Get You Motivated, Skyrocket Your Energy Levels, Boost Your Productivity, And Only Requires A Few Hours A Week, By Kevin Gianni And Annmarie Colameo

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | January 3rd, 2008

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Adult males and females who have little time and have tried dieting and exercise with little or no results.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Many of people have an idea of what to do when it comes to health and fitness, but when it’s time to hit the gym or eat the best foods… life gets in the way.

This is a step-by-step guide that will show you how to soar beyond your health and fitness goals easily and effectively. Most books go right into the program without guiding you on how to start with incredible enthusiasm and focus. Our book teaches you how to make your health a part of your lifestyle with out making drastic changes to the life that surround you.

Inside this step-by-step guide you will learn to soar beyond your health and fitness goals. The book covers the 7 most prominent health and fitness lies that are making people feel fat and unhealthy, the 8 secrets to massive success that won’t be found in any magazine, and 12 simple steps to take to look and feel awesome all the time.

Also, just some of the many topics covered in the book are: how to eliminate 11 foods and additives from your diet for optimal health, the 7 secret foods that only the healthiest people in the world know about and their incredible benefits, and how to save hours of your time by using 7 equipment-free and super-efficient exercises.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: Kevin Gianni is an internationally known health advocate, author, and film consultant. He has helped thousands and thousands of people in over 85 countries with his online health teleseminars. His book and techniques have changed the lives of busy entrepreneurs, business owners and more nationwide. He has been quoted and interviewed by many national publications including WebMD, Cooking Light, Skiing Magazine, Woman’s World, Today’s Diet and Nutrition. He’s also interviewed many of today’s top health and wellness experts, which can be found at www.LiveAwesome.com.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: The book is different because it takes a hard and critical look at the scientific studies of exercise (what we reference as the “flavor-of-the month”). The science is generally slippery and with experience and observation, it is confusing people and paralyzing them to get out and move. Even worse it is extremely daunting for a busy person to sift through. Everybody is different and there are so many different studies out there that claim to be the best. This book challenges you to stop thinking so hard on what will work for you and just try something you love. This book will teach you the tools to stick with it, so you have to time to find your own truths by experimenting a little at a time.

The Busy Person’s Fitness Solution is a fabulous book for making holistic lifestyle changes for optimal fitness and health. Kevin and Annmarie cover a wide variety of topics from exposing exercise and health myths to ideal nutrition to detoxification and mental emotional support. I thought the book was entertaining, easy to understand and spot on for the advice it gives. This is a great book for anyone but especially women who are busy and want an efficient primer on how to eat move and be healthy.

The Hidden Truth About Cholesterol Lowering Drugs; How To Beat Heart Disease Naturally, By Shane Ellison

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | December 5th, 2007

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: My book targets the estimated 30 million people who are using cholesterol-lowering drugs known as “statins.”

Q. What is the book about?
A: Hidden Truths is about the deadliest scam in modern medicine – and how to avoid it. As a drug chemist for a leading pharmaceutical company I made a startling discovery: you do not have to be dependant on FDA approved drugs to avoid heart disease. In fact, research clearly shows the opposite. You don’t need a single prescription drug to avoid this killer.

The best selling drugs of all time are the cholesterol-lowering drugs known as “statins.” They procure drug makers and their shareholders billions of dollars in profits every year. The success of these drugs is not attributed to their effectiveness but instead to slick and misleading marketing practices. This hype is fueled by egregious conflicts of interest amongst drug company servants disguised as experts. Don’t be surprised if your own doctor falls within this group. The truth be told, statin drugs are poisons – foreign to the human body and may at times be life threatening.

Avoiding heart disease should not be expensive or dangerous. A plethora of natural alternatives exist. Understanding them as outlined in this paradigm shifting book will arm you with the understanding and courage not to accept popular dogma. It may prove to be one of the greatest assets to your health.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am an ex-drug chemist. I learned first hand how doctors and patients are hoodwinked by Big Pharma. As an organic chemist, I have studied heart disease, cholesterol and statin drugs for over 10 years.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: It is fun to read and easy to understand. Anyone can grasp its teachings and adhere to the principles outlined to ward off premature heart disease.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Yes, it is the best tool for breaking a government mandated, prescription drug addiction.
