f your family is worn out from your child's struggles with bedwetting and/or daytime accidents, you will be grateful for The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition. The 4th edition is a vastly expanded and updated version of Dr. Steve Hodges' groundbreaking guide to resolving enuresis (bedwetting and daytime pee accidents) and encopresis (poop accidents). The book is for parents who are tired of waiting for their child to "outgrow" accidents and who think they have "tried everything." Experts at Mayo Clinic call M.O.P. "incredibly effective." Parents call it "life changing" and "a life saver." M.O.P. stands for the Modified O'Regan Protocol, named for Sean O'Regan, M.D., a pioneer in bedwetting research. The four-phase regimen, combining enemas and laxatives, has been modified by pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D., of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Published research shows M.O.P. is the only reliable solution to bedwetting and daytime accidents - far more effective than medication, bedwetting alarms, or Miralax. M.O.P. is based on a simple, proven fact: bedwetting is caused by chronic, severe constipation. Stool piles up in the rectum, pressing against the bladder nerves; only when the rectum is cleared out on a daily basis can it shrink back to size, stop aggravating the bladder, and regain the tone and sensation to full evacuate daily. The 4th edition of the Anthology includes Dr. Hodges' updated guidance on Ex-Lax, oil-retention enemas (the Double M.O.P. regimen), and large-volume enemas (M.O.P.+).The Anthology also includes tracking calendars for parents and children; "The Physician's Guide to M.O.P," created for parents to hand to their medical professionals; and "Answers to 53 Questions About M.O.P.," a compilation of helpful posts from Dr. Hodges' private Facebook support group for parents. New to the 4th edition: the introduction to "M.O.P. for Teens and Tweens," which offers bedwetting kids ages 10 to 18 encouragement and explanations they can relate to.

A journalist recounts the surprising history of accidents and reveals how they’ve come to define all that’s wrong with America. We hear it all the time: “Sorry, it was just an accident.” And we’ve been deeply conditioned to just accept that explanation and move on. But as Jessie Singer argues convincingly: There are no such things as accidents. The vast majority of mishaps are not random but predictable and preventable. Singer uncovers just how the term “accident” itself protects those in power and leaves the most vulnerable in harm’s way, preventing investigations, pushing off debts, blaming the victims, diluting anger, and even sparking empathy for the perpetrators. As the rate of accidental death skyrockets in America, the poor and people of color end up bearing the brunt of the violence and blame, while the powerful use the excuse of the “accident” to avoid consequences for their actions. Born of the death of her best friend, and the killer who insisted it was an accident, this book is a moving investigation of the sort of tragedies that are all too common, and all too commonly ignored. In this revelatory book, Singer tracks accidental death in America from turn of the century factories and coal mines to today’s urban highways, rural hospitals, and Superfund sites. Drawing connections between traffic accidents, accidental opioid overdoses, and accidental oil spills, Singer proves that what we call accidents are hardly random. Rather, who lives and dies by an accident in America is defined by money and power. She also presents a variety of actions we can take as individuals and as a society to stem the tide of “accidents”—saving lives and holding the guilty to account.

Unplanned events--chance occurrences--more often determine life and career choices than all the careful planning we do. A chance meeting, a broken appointment, a spontaneous vacation trip, a "fill-in" job, a hobby--these are the kinds of experiences that lead to unexpected life directions and career choices. Newly revised and updated with fresh examples and current issues for today's challenging times, Luck is No Accident actively encourages readers to create their own unplanned events, to anticipate changing their plans frequently, to take advantage of chance events when they happen, and to make the most of what life offers. The book has a friendly, easy style about it, and is packed with personal stories that really bring the ideas into focus.

A supportive, engaging, highly informative, and cleverly illustrated book for children from preschool through elementary age. Children will appreciate the respectful tone and amusing illustrations. A must-read for preschool and elementary teachers and family therapists, too! Readers will learn what really causes most accidents: a clogged colon, which presses on and irritates the bladder. The book urges families not wait around for children to outgrow accidents or bedwetting and explains how to make the troubles stop for good.

For more than 30 years, the government has been ramming cars into walls in an effort to make car crashes safe. The public has been conditioned to believe that seatbelts, airbags and more "crashworthy" vehicles are the best ways to protect us from harm on the roads. Meanwhile, the most basic strategies to deter dangerous driving and prevent crashes have been ignored. "It's No Accident" provides a rare glimpse into how the government got seduced by the promise of "safe crashing." It then examines the major factors involved in crashes today, including speeding, aggressive driving, distracted (e.g. cell phones) and drowsy driving. The author reveals that many dangerous behaviors are now legally PROMOTED by businesses, and that drivers who kill often walk away with just a small fine. This well-documented expose is a must-read for anyone concerned about violent death and injury on our roads and how to stop it. **Questions about this book or trouble with your order?
