Shailyn knew living in a small town would be different than the city she grew up in, but she didn’t realize how difficult it was going to be. The Alphas there didn’t believe in suppressants, and they prevent her from ordering more so she wouldn’t infect the other omegas with her progressive thinking. She wouldn’t let their outdated views suppress her right to choose, but it left her with no option but to go back to the city for more. Alone.

Damaged. Unwanted. Flawed. An accident left Cassie disabled, ruining her chances at a future. Who would want an omega with scars like hers even if they found a way to bond her? When she's captured by soldiers, she knows it's only a matter of time before she's thrown out on the street again. The news that the damage could be corrected is a shock, but of course it costs too much, and it doesn't guarantee she'll finally go into heat. The flair of hope dies... Until she's bought. Terille smothered his emotions long ago. Feelings serve no purpose for a soldier, but the omega with big brown eyes pulls at something inside him. The others think he's crazy choosing the one they see as broken, but he isn't going to let her go. He'll heal her, then claim her as his own. ***This is the second book in the Omega Market series. It is a sci-fi omegaverse romance. It can be read as a standalone, though is best read after Used, Book 1.***

This book examines the rapidly growing field of functional foods in the prevention and management of chronic and infectious diseases. Chapters explore the varied sources, biochemical properties, metabolics, health benefits, and safety of bioactive ingredients of nutraceutical and functional food products. Special emphasis is given to linking the molecular and chemical structures of biologically active components in foods to their nutritional and pharmacological effects on human health and wellness. In addition to discussing scientific and clinical rationales for different sources of functional foods, the book also explains in detail scientific methodologies used to investigate the functionality, effectiveness, and safety of bioactive ingredients in food. The chapter authors discuss advanced nanocarriers for nutraceuticals based on structured lipids and nonlipids, nanoparticulate approaches for improved nutrient bioavailability, adulteration and safety issues, nanodelivery systems, microencapsulation, and more. The book discusses some particular health benefits from nutrition nutraceuticals, including probiotic dairy and non-dairy products and bioactive proteins and peptides as functional foods. The volume also gives an overview of emerging trends, growth patterns, and new opportunities in the field of nutraceuticals and functional foods.

Everything a cancer patient NEEDS to know is in this smart, science-based guide: Around 70 alternative cancer therapies with numerous studies, field reports, dosage guidelines, costs and sources of supply. Even in 2021, cancer patients will still be given questionable chemotherapy treatments that have been shown to have no effect at all on most types of cancer. On the contrary, it increases the risk of developing cancer even further. Why are cancer patients treated with a "cure" method that TRIGGERS this very disease? Also, the healing rate has hardly increased in all the last years and decades. Is a cure possibly not wanted at all because you can earn very good money with the current methods? This book proves with numerous studies that cancer research is much further than we are told in the mainstream media and conventional medicine. Numerous healing methods are presented (including organic germanium, intravenous vitamin C, salvestrol, melatonin, to name just a few), which have been proven to lead to healing in scientific studies, sometimes even in human case studies. Mind you, alone and without the help of chemotherapy or radiation! You will also learn which diagnostic methods can be used to diagnose cancer without side effects, even years in advance. Whether conventional medicine or not - after reading this book, you can decide for yourself. However, only a fully INFORMED patient can make wise decisions. Don't let this freedom be taken away from you! If you're skeptical and think, "If it all worked that great, everyone would know about it by now," then the numerous scientific studies and case reports in this book will certainly convince you. Be open to alternative medicine and read this book with an open mind. After all, it's about YOUR life and YOUR health!
