        Interactions between Medicines and Food

        by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich and Dr. Julia Podlogar

        Interactions between medicines and foodstuffs may be just as clinically relevant as interactions between individual drugs. A single meal contains several hundred potentially interacting compounds that, in an individual patient, may be the deciding factor as to whether a treatment is successful or not. The resulting, sometimes serious risks are not known to most patients – nor to many physicians and pharmacists. This practical handbook enables anyone interested in applied pharmacotherapy to keep abreast of the complex field of drug interactions. The authors – proven experts in clinical pharmacology and pharmaconutrition – describe the most important interactions and give concrete recommendations for action. Tables and overviews permit fast access to potentially problematic combinations. This completely updated edition now also includes information about fruit juices and curcumin as well as a new chapter on food interactions in oncology.

        by Annelies Spek

        This book discusses a new type of therapy that can help people with autism to be less overburdened, let go of recurrent thoughts, and get better at recognizing physical signs of stress.

For each meditation exercise useful tips and tricks are given, as well as potential pitfalls that relate directly to autism. Mindfulness for adults with autism is the first treatment for adults with autism that has proven to be effective. Because of its readability and the beautiful illustrations, this book is highly recommended for both therapists and people with autism.
