In 1870, Dr. W.H. Schuessler--noted physiological chemist and physicist--developed the use of twelve cell salt remedies in the treatment of illness. Dr. Schuessler discovered that cell salts are essential to maintaining a healthy body, and that when the body's stores of these compounds become depleted, the body becomes susceptible to disease. "Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies is a comprehensive guide to the theory and use of homeopathic cell salts. Part One first provides a history of Dr. Schuessler's discovery, and then describes each of the cell salts, explaining how it works and detailing its use. Part Two offers an A-to-Z listing of common disorders and the cell salt remedies that can be used to treat them. Here is a much-needed introduction to the safe and effective use of cell salts.

This book explains why old theories and techniques fail, and why the philosophy and revolutionary treating of The Institutes succeed.
For over three decades, medical researchers have been extolling the many health benefits of a fatty acid called omega-3. Within omega-3 are three essential fatty acids: EPA, DHA, and ALA. These substances are called "essential" because they are absolutely necessary for the proper function of the body. And the range of tasks they perform is truly staggering: They protect against heart attacks, they lower blood pressure and cholesterol, they reduce arthritis and premenstrual pain, they improve memory and stave off depression, and they fight wrinkles and skin disorders. They arefound in plant foods, such as seeds and nuts, and in cold water fish, such as salmon, but new research shows that there is a more potent and absorbable source of omega-3 that may offer greater protection. Written by best-selling author Dennis Goodman, MD, The Thrill of Krillis the first book to provide a clear understanding of why krill oil is a must for everyone interested in restoring and maintaining optimum health.Krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures found in the ocean. To a great extent, they make up the diet of most sea life, from whales and seals to squids and fish. Krill oil is to marine life what fish oil is to human life¯except that krill oil is far superior to fish oil. Studies show that while fish oil is slow to be absorbed by the human body, krill oil is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. In THE THRILL OF KRILL, Dr. Goodman explores the latest research on krill, details the individual health benefits krill oil provides, and explains the differences between available krill oils. Also included is a resource section that will enable you to learn more about krill.With so many nutritional supplements on store shelves, it''s hard to know which one can make a real difference to your health. Backed by scientific research, THE THRILL OF KRILL introduces an exciting and amazingly powerful source of omega-3s that can change your life for the better.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over seven million people in the US alone suffer from severe vision loss or blindness. In the past, low vision was truly a life-altering condition. Those seemingly everyday tasks that were once so simple instead became difficult--whether one had to work, cook, read, drive, go out to shop, or even turn on a light switch, one's world had been completely turned upside down..

It discusses the latest technologies that can enable a person with eyesight problems to turn on a light, start a dishwasher, or even answer a phone through the use of oral commands--and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Part Two then provides a breakdown of the various kinds of helpful vision-aid products now available. Because the authors understand the costs involved in purchasing such equipment, they include the names of those organizations and associations in an extensive Resources section along with various other crucial contacts about which those with low vision and their loved ones and caretakers need to know. Times have t changed. Low Vision Matters provides a wealth of information that can vastly improve the daily life of a person living with vision loss or blindness..
Doyle's World is no ordinary book. It is instead a work that deciphers the cryptic origins and actual scientifi c methods used by fi ction's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes--and provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Revealed here for the fi rst time--by son-father writing team Daniel Friedman, MD, and Eugene Friedman, MD--are the inspirations behind the physical, emotional, and intellectual characteristics that Doyle wove together so deftly to bring his legendary sleuth to life. The authors o er research-based answers to such intriguing questions as: ■ From whom did Sherlock Holmes actually learn the art of detective work? ■ Why did Doyle kill off Sherlock Holmes-- and how did the country of Japan inspire how he brought his famous detective back to life after nearly a decade? ■ What story elements did Doyle borrow from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island? ■ How did Doyle apply his fervent belief in Spiritualism to a variety of Holmes stories? ■ Who inspired Doyle to write about civil rights after a steamship journey in 1882? ■ How did the women in Doyle's life come to influence the relationships with women that both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have across sixty written adventures? The book is divided into three sections. The fi rst is dedicated to the elements--both good and bad--that comprised Doyle's childhood and early adult years, and how an assemblage of persons and places and things from his life found their way into his literature. The second section emphasizes the complex themes and plots present in the Sherlock Holmes adventures, while it also examines some of Doyle's strengths--and weaknesses--as a public fi gure of his time. And in the book's concluding part, the authors o er two "lost" stories they uncovered that were written by Doyle under a pseudonym. Doyle's World is a work of rich detail and in-depth scholarship that should win over established fans of Doyle and devoted "Sherlockians" everywhere--and which should engage, and entertain, all others who enter this intriguing hall of literary mirrors.

"Early in this nation's history, America was populated by many different faith-based communities, each in search of a place to practice its religion. Initially, there was conflict, but by the time our Founding Fathers were ready to establish an independent nation, the idea of religious tolerance had become deeply ingrained in this brave new country's design. So much so that when the United State Constitution was ratified, it contained a document known as The Bill of Rights--ten amendments detailing the rights of this country's citizens. And the very First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . . ." Here lies the foundation of the principle for the separation of state and religion"' Over the past few decades, however, the power of the state has usurped a growing number of rights clearly ascribed to those who wish to practice their faith. This has certainly not gone unnoticed by many religious organizations. As the supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, Carl A. Anderson has taken an active role in highlighting--and protecting against-this ever-growing governmental infringement over fundamental religious freedom. Here in his latest book, These Liberties We Hold Sacred, New York Times best-selling author Carl A. Anderson has gathered together many of his most thought-provoking speeches, articles, and essays that lay bare the facts of this unjustified restriction of religious beliefs. The power of his words makes it clear that if nothing is done now, there will continue to be more erosion of these special freedoms set forth by our Founding Fathers"--Google Books

Subtitle on cover: Hypertension, the most epidemic medical condition known to man.
London. 1910. A procession of well-attired gentlemen and ladies are clearly out of place among the stalls and pushcarts of the Whitechapel District. As the group makes its way through the crowded streets, the tour guide stops now and then to point out various places where the mutilated bodies of the women had been found. Although the murders occurred twenty-two years prior, the man leading the group seems to know every detail and aspect of each slaying. Of those things he does not know, he offers freely his own insightful conjecture. This is, however, no average tour of brutal acts. It is a close look at infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper's trail of blood. And the man leading the group is none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle--famous creator of fictional character Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective. In The Strange Case of Dr. Doyle, we learn what draws one famous Englishman to another in ways that are as fascinating as they are shocking. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually led a tour group to the sites of the Whitechapel Murders in the year 1905. While we do not have an existing description of that tour, authors Daniel Friedman, MD, and Eugene Friedman, MD, have meticulously pieced together Doyle's own words to create a riveting account of his publicly stated beliefs on each of these horrific murders. As Doyle takes the group on his tour, the reader learns about the victims and the way each died. The authors have also included new pieces of evidence to understand better the murderer known to history only as Jack the Ripper. Interspersed throughout the tour is the Friedmans' unique and well-researched account of the life of the young Conan Doyle, which was shrouded in more mystery than any of his own works of fiction. The authors have uncovered facts about which few, if any, Doyle biographers have ever been aware. Doyle was able to reinvent himself so fully through his own writings that few recognized the more disturbing elements that were cut out of his own life story. What these two authors have uncovered in their investigation of Jack the Ripper and Sir Arthur will no doubt spark passion and debate among Sherlockian fans for years to come. The Strange Case of Dr. Doyle proves once again that truth--elementary as it may be--is always stranger than fiction.

The health benefits of marijuana are now getting a good deal of attention. Yet hemp--a close relative of marijuana--is actually a far richer source of CBD, the compound responsible for effectively treating dozens of disorders, and contains very little THC, the substance responsible for marijuana's highs. Sounds like growing and using hemp is a win-win situation, right? Not quite, because the US government, which holds the patent for CBD specifically because of its healing abilities, has unfairly classified hemp as a Class 1 drug, thereby banning people in the United States from growing it commercially. If you find this confusing, you're not alone. That's why best-selling author Earl Mindell has written Healing with Hemp CBD Oil, a straightforward book that will first help you understand what's going on with hemp oil in the United States, and then teach you how to use this valuable natural remedy to improve your health.The book begins by looking at the important role the hemp plant has played in both Eastern and Western societies as a source for paper, textiles, rope, and so much more. This is followed by a discussion of the science behind CBD's medical benefits. The author then provides a consumer's guide to buying hemp products--especially its oil and its CBD supplements--and offers an eye-opening examination of hemp's legal status in the United States, from the 1900s to now. Finally, based on up-to-date studies, Dr. Mindell presents an A-to-Z guide to the many uses of hemp oil and CBD for various health conditions, from arthritis to depression to heart disease.Although the United States has given CBD-rich hemp a problematic legal status, fortunately, this product--sourced from other countries--is readily available. Healing with Hemp CBD Oil guides you in using this all-natural substance as a safe, side effect-free remedy.
Sweet Butter Tea is a collection of poems that spontaneously sprang from the most personal memories and childhood recollections of exiled Tibetan Ten Phun. Since his escape into India, Ten Phun has experienced a bewildering sense of loss, harrowing loneliness, as well as lively times in a borrowed space.

"I don't know how old my heart is, I only know my five-o'clock shadow tells it all," Ten Phun writes. This book of poetry promises a dizzying journey into a young adult refugee's struggles, dreams, and musings, all packed into bite-sized verses that grasp at truth and attempt to put into words the anguish of physical, emotional, and psychological dislocation.
Imagine that there is an effective treatment for dozens of serious ailments-from cancer and Parkinson''s disease to headaches and depression. Now imagine that the government is preventing you from using it because it is derived from cannabis, a controversial herb. Marijuana is still looked upon by many as a social evil; yet, scientific evidence shows the compounds it contains can reduce, halt, and even reverse many serious health conditions. In HEALING WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA, medical researcher Dr. Mark Sircus has written a clear guide to understanding the healing power of the cannabis plant. Although more and more states are legalizing medical marijuana, the controversy continues to block its use for many. For those who may be unable to obtain medical marijuana, this book will provide options that can offer the much-needed help they are seeking.

It is invisible, it is powerful, and it is life sustaining. It is oxygen. We inhale it every day of our lives, and while it makes up only 21 percent of the air we breathe, it is key to our very existence. The more we learn about its healing properties, the more we recognize its tremendous potential as a medical treatment for many serious disorders. Yet few have known about its important therapeutic uses¯until now. In his new book, Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy, best-selling author Dr.Mark Sircus examines the remarkable benefits oxygen therapy offers, from detoxification to treatments for disorders such as arthritis and aging, with a special emphasis on cancer.While the term "oxygen therapy" conjures images of a crucially ill patient lying in a hospital bed with tubes strapped to his face, this book will show that oxygen can offer so much more. Dr. Sircus first looks at the nature of oxygen and its purpose in the body. He then provides an understanding of how inflammation works to destroy the body''s tissues over time, and how oxygen can reverse thisprocess. He examines the current treatments that use hyperbaric oxygen chambers as well as newer protocols that employ this vital element. In addition, Dr. Sircus offers a simple, safe, and highly effective fifteen-minute technique that can be used in the privacy of your home so that you can enjoy maximum benefits for a healthier life.If you are wondering why you haven''t heard about this "miracle" treatment before, the truth is that oxygen cannot be patented, it is not expensive, and you don''t have to be a specialist to use it. Without a tremendous profit behind it, it''s become a well-kept secret, but the facts speak for themselves. In this book, you will learn these life-altering facts¯information that could change your health for the better.
