Selected books

The Book – Michael Snyder, Nancy Faass, and Lorena Novak-Bull. The Raw Food Recipe Book. Adams Media, 2009.

The Project – The author had a plethora of recipes, and wanted to organize his material within the format used for this popular series. The next step was to write an introduction that reflected his fresh perspective. To complete the book within the tight deadline, recipe testing also became a shared task. Our editor tested about 90 of the 300 recipes, and then formatted them for easy preparation.

Reader Reviews – “I have been dabbling here and there with a raw food lifestyle and I bought a stack of books to get me started. By far this book is the easiest to follow, most colorful, and they have great recipes that have turned out exactly as explained.” Reviewer from St. Louis “Excellent cookbook.” Reviewer from New Jersey “Great cookbook!” Reviewer from Canada

The Book – Robert Gorter, MD, PhD, and Erik Peper, PhD. Fighting Cancer: A Nontoxic Approach to Treatment. North Atlantic, 2012.

The Project – This important book focuses on the role of immune function in cancer. Dr. Robert Gorter, trained in Amsterdam and for 10 years served as physician, researcher, and then medical director of the Department of AIDS Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California, San Francisco Medical School, a department which provided world leadership in defining and treating AIDS. He has spent the past 20 years applying lessons learned from the AIDS epidemic to the treatment of cancer. The editor’s role involved organizing the massive amount of supporting research and making it accessible to lay readers, while retaining scientific accuracy.

Colleague Testimonials – “The author’s extensive research demonstrates the scientific basis for this comprehensive approach to immunotherapy that focuses on supporting and stabilizing the immune system … This is a book every patient should read.” Kenneth R. Pelletier, PhD, MD(hc), professor, University of Arizona and UCSF

The Book – The Staying Healthy Shopper’s Guide. Elson Haas, MD. Celestial Arts Press, 1999. (Writing support)

The Project – To develop the opening chapter, the author provided a wonderful interview explaining how he first began coaching patients on healthier nutrition, and how that forever changed his medical practice. Additional content was also developed by interview, and then shaped to the focus of each specific chapter.

Reader Review – “If you’re trying to eat healthy and want to start buying organic foods, this is an excellent book to buy to begin your journey. “ Reviewer from Michigan

The Book – Nancy Faass. Integrating Complementary Medicine into Health Systems.Aspen / Jones & Bartlett, 2001.

The Project – This hardcover edition is 763 pages, with 67 chapters and 100 contributors from organizations that include Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Griffin Hospital, University of Arizona, and Harvard Medical School.

Professional Review – “This is a remarkable compilation of strategies, articles, how-to, and opinion which should prove to be the enduring core text for CAM integrators and would-be integrators. This definitive work is a labor of love from editor Nancy Faass, who managed to bring between two covers exceptional information from diverse, hands-on workers who are all leaders in the multi-stakeholder, integration undertaking – from research to coding, from network-based CAM coverage to hospital-based CAM delivery, from present utilization to a vision of optimal placement in a patient-centered system. For newcomers, Faass wisely includes a half-dozen sections on leading CAM modalities. But even for seasoned old-timers in CAM, this volume will be repeatedly pulled off the shelf as a valuable resource.” John Weeks, The Integrator & The Integrator Blog
