| World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) is observed around the world every year on 31 May. This yearly celebration informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, what the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people around the world can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations. |

Five Books to Fight Fibromyalgia
Posted by Smita Sahay
Sharing a list of books that have helped me and other fibromyalgia and chronic pain survivors. I shall be sharing reviews of these books, and my own experience of working with them as separate stories. I shall also be adding new lists.
In the meantime I have linked each book to its Goodreads page and urge you to take a good look at readers’ response to these books.
Book List #1
Healing Back Pain by John Sarno
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay
Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert
Dynamic Laws of Healing by Catherine Ponder
Freedom from Fibromyalgia by Nancy Selfridge

The right books will provide knowledge, courage and companionship on your fibromyalgia journey
How to Work With Books in List #1:
Sequence: Work with books in a sequential order. Working with multiple books simultaneously has not proved effective for me.
Suitability: You are unique and so is your set of fibromyalgia symptoms. Working with certain books will prove more effective for you than with others. Look long and hard at their Goodreads and Amazon review and try to match your symptoms with the ones a particular book claims to help with.
Judgement: Try and answer for yourself: Do you believe in(i) the mind-body connection, or (ii) solid scientific facts explaining the physiology of fibromyalgia, or (iii) a book with worksheets and a clear path. Now examine each book’s Goodreads and Amazon reviews carefully to find the ones most in line with your belief system. Start there.
