MOLD WARRIORS Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. This book features real people in real buildings including ECI, Salisbury University, Somerset County District Court, Princess Anne Primary, Hampton Bays (NY) Elementary, PG County (MD) Fellowship of Police, the Rayburn Building, Washington DC, and many others. If you live or work in a building with water leaks, musty smells or visible mold growth, you need to read MOLD WARRIORS.If you, or a loved one suffers from multiple symptoms that never go away, or if you are told you have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Chronic Lyme Disease, you might need to learn from Chapter Four, The Biotoxin Pathway and Chapter 24, 21st Century Medicine.

Desperation Medicine Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. This book set the off the growth of the study of chronic, neurotoxin-mediated illnesses. From Chronic Lyme Disease in the USA to cylindrospermopsis in Florida to "sick buildings" world wide, the examples of new illnesses caused by biotoxins are all around us. This book is a "must-read" for any patient, physician, academic and researcher alike who is confronted with illnesses that don't get better with antibiotics or passage of time, for whom "all tests are negative," but who continue to struggle with chronic fatigue, muscle aches, cramps, weakness, headache, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, abdominal pain, cognitive deficits (including memory, confusion, disorientation), neurologic symptoms and more. This is the primer to guide you into the world of neurotoxins, with political and economic implications from illnesses caused by our changing lifestyle and our chemical alteration of ecological systems worldwide.

Pfiesteria: Crossing Dark Water Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. If another topic has generated more political controversy and more research funding for a regional environmental/human health problem, let's see it. From the murky world of a toxin-forming dinoflagellate, Pfiesteria piscicida, that killed millions of fish in North Carolina to the Chesapeake Bay, to the back rooms of politicians who used a perceived environmental threat to foment their personal agendas, Crossing Dark Water is an award winning expose` of the real battle, as it happened. When the evidence supporting the truth underlying the human illness was laid bare to public scrutiny, a predictable series of events followed, events that form the basis of the "Appearance of Good Science," formally introduced in Desperation Medicine. Follow a country doctor in his unrelenting battle to establish the diagnosis (now called Possible Estuarine Associated Syndrome by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and to convince the skeptics and naysayers that a toxin binding protocol works to correct the physiologic problems associated with chronic carriage of the Pfiesteria neurotoxin. Take a look at a model of chemical pollution that just might be more important to ecosystems than blaming "nutrients" for every change we see in our watersheds.

Lose the Weight You Hate Ritchie Shoemaker, MD. It is about time that we all confronted the fact that the traditional weight loss advice (eat less fat, exercise 30 minutes, 4 times a week and count calories) results in a miserable failure of weight loss and maintenance. This book is a refreshing, reader-friendly look at the biochemistry of fat manufacture through the eyes of a primary care physician trained in molecular biology that leads to an approach to weight loss that works. Learn about the importance of the No-Amylose diet to lose weight and to keep it off. Full of original recipes, case studies and packed with chapters of new material, this book dares to actually give the reader the facts needed to make sense out of the media-spin dominated world that obscures the truth about the genetic basis of weight loss, maintenance, cholesterol, exercise, fiber, gout and other topics. This book will be your trusted guide to a new lifestyle (don't call it a diet) that emphasizes good food, prepared with gusto and served with style. The chapter on the use of a new medication, Avandia, bringing fantastic weight loss when used in combination with the No-Amylose diet, and the chapter on environmental acquisition of diabetes and obesity are each likely to be worth more than any single expense for those with refractory weight loss problems.
