Fasting has long been an exercise practiced by those seeking
spiritual strength, but here, Wallace D. Wattles asserts the
benefits of fasting on physical strength as well. Wattles uses
personal experience and firsthand knowledge to drive his theories
on how to increase one's health, happiness, and creativity through
approaching eating in a different way. In addition to discussing
the nutritional content, quantity, and timing of eating, he
includes detailed arguments for the benefit of adequate sleep and
the importance of deep breathing and fresh air. Wattles stands out
from other writers on the subject of health and wellness (both
those in 1907 and today) by focusing his conversational and
compassionate prose on the simplest principles and common sense,
making clear his affirmation that is it possible for anyone to
improve his or her own health and happiness without the need for
elaborate science. American author WALLACE DELOIS WATTLES
(1860-1911) overcame poverty and failure in his life to become a
pioneer of the early self-help movement. Among his books are The
Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great, and The
Science of Being Well.

Your Invisible Power has been written with the purpose and hope
that their suggestions may furnish you a key to open up the way to
the attainment of your desires, and to explain that Fear should be
entirely banished from your effort to obtain possession of the
things you desire. This presupposes, of course, that your desire
for possession is based upon your aspiration for greater liberty.
For example, you feel that the possession of more money, lands or
friends will make you happier, and your desire for possession of
these things arises from a conviction that their possession will
bring you liberty and happiness.
Originally published in 1910, The Science of Being Well applies the
power of positive thinking to getting and maintaining good physical
health. According to Wallace Wattles, thought is far more powerful
than we imagine. It is the way in which humans can literally
reshape reality according to their will; it is how we interact with
the substance of the universe. Students of religious studies will
be intrigued by this book from the New Thought tradition. And those
wanting a new way to improve their health may find Wattles'
approach empowering. American author WALLACE DELOIS WATTLES
(1860-1911) overcame poverty and failure in his life to become a
pioneer of the early self-help movement. Among his books are The
Science of Being Great and How to Be a Genius.
Biomedical Science Chinese herbal medicine represents complementary
or adjunctive therapies that often can improve the efficacy of
Western medicine to achieve the pharmacological effects, especially
in cancer treatment. However, the combination of herbs with
therapeutic drugs can raise potential health risk. Building a
bridge between Western medicine and herbal medicines, Active
Phytochemicals from Chinese Herbal Medicines: Anti-Cancer
Activities and Mechanisms gives you useful information on how
integrated medicines can work for cancer therapy. It discusses the
therapeutic uses of phytochemicals, adverse effects, and
interactions with (Western) cancer drugs. The author takes a unique
approach to integrated pharmacology of herbal medicines, examining
the development of phytochemicals and their mechanisms of action in
the context of the cancers and diseases they are used to treat. He
covers biologic action of the active phytochemicals at the
molecular, cellular, and organ levels. The book covers the
principles of the interaction of phytochemicals and the related
drug actions. It also addresses the common pathways affecting
cancer development before discussing the phytochemical classes and
specific phytochemicals that have been recently reported in journal
papers for the management of cancer and other diseases.
Highlighting the increasingly important aspects of pharmacology,
including health benefit and drawbacks of phytochemicals, the book
presents the relevant background of the biochemistry of the cancer.
It includes illustrations and tables with adverse reactions that
highlight important issues related to phytochemical actions. These
features and more make the book a useful reference on
phytochemicals obtained from herbal medicines. It blends coverage
of fundamental mechanisms of anti-cancer action and the use of
phytochemicals to manage cancers and other human diseases, allowing
you to explore how herbal medicines can enhance conventional
protocols.
In this greatly expanded edition of his international bestseller,
Andreas Moritz reveals the most common but rarely recognized cause
of illness - gallstones congesting the bile ducts in the liver.
Besides leading to gallbladder diseases and gallstone attacks in at
least 20 million Americans each year, in many cases, liver bile
duct congestion sets the stage for even more serious, seemingly
unrelated, conditions, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
and cancer. Most adults living in the industrialized world, and
especially those suffering a chronic illness, such as irritable
bowel syndrome, heart disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis,
cancer, or diabetes, have in fact hundreds if not thousands of
gallstones (mainly clumps of hardened bile that escape detection
for they are invisible to x-rays, ultrasound, and CT scans)
blocking the bile ducts of their liver. This book provides a
thorough understanding of the liver and its complex functions, what
causes gallstones in the liver and gallbladder, and why these
stones can be held responsible for the most common diseases so
prevalent in the world today. It provides the reader with the
knowledge needed to recognize these stones and gives the necessary,
do-it-yourself instructions to painlessly remove them in the
comfort of one's home. Packed with images, the book also gives
practical guidelines on how to prevent new gallstones in both the
liver and gallbladder. The liver and gallbladder flush (cleanse)
has led to extraordinary improvements in health and wellness among
millions of people who have already given themselves the precious
gift of a strong, clean, revitalized liver. Besides providing the
practical procedures to cleanse the liver, gallbladder, kidneys,
and intestines, Moritz explains in great detail the origin of all
types of common diseases and how to prevent or reverse them
naturally. The book is packed with precious, time-tested approaches
designed to return the body to a permanent state of balance and
vitality; it includes a complete program of healthcare, which is
primarily based on the ancient medical system of Ayurveda and the
vast amount of experience Andreas Moritz has gained in the field of
health restoration during the past 30 years. Moritz is the author
of 15 groundbreaking books on natural health and a leading,
internationally recognized, authority in the field of integrative
medicine.
