Six hundred years ago, Chinese ImperialPhysician Lord Liu Chun dedicated his life to finding cures for common ailments and solving the mystery of longevity. Today, modern researchers continue to pursue cures for the same ailments. Currently, experimentation is being conducted on the same substances that Lord Liu identified six hundred years ago For centuries, the Liu family has guarded the secrets Lord Liu discovered about healthy living and disease prevention through experiments he conducted in order to ascertain the most effective treatment of a wide range of diseases and health issues. Recently, Dr. Liu Hong Zhang, Lord Liu's twenty-fourth-generation descendant, published a portion of these family secrets in three tomes-"Lord Liu Chun's Enhancement of Life, Your Lifestyle is the Cause of Disease, " and "Beware of Medicine." Dr. Liu wrote the books despite opposition from family members who didn't want him to reveal the secrets. His vision was to share the family's wealth of knowledge, and the three books disclose a tenth of Lord Liu's research. The words of Lord Liu Chun and his twenty-fourth-generation ancestor, as well as the Liu family recipes, formulae, and history that appear in "Lord Liu Chun's Secrets of Longevity" are taken and translated fromthese three books.
Renowned naturopathic doctor to the stars shares a "perfect roadmap" (Dr. Mike Moreno, New York Times bestselling author of The 17 Day Diet book series) to the life-changing seven-day plan personalized to you and your birthday that can radically improve your health and wellbeing. Do you regularly get the Monday Blues? Are you always tired on Fridays, even though you want to be excited for the weekend? There may be more to it than just a long work week. Over the course of a week, the human body goes through a cycle of self-regulation. Our energy levels, inflammation levels, capacity to focus, and even our immunity all fluctuate naturally based on this internal seven-day cycle, scientifically known as the circaseptan rhythm. Now, Dr. Olivia Audrey reveals how we can tap into the power of this seven-day cycle to transform our health and overhaul our mind and mood. The key to understanding your own circaseptan rhythm is, remarkably, from the day of the week on which you were born. The birth experience is like a hormonal storm that inflames the body, one that is repeated week after week with an ebb and flow of inflammation and repair that lasts seven days. This cycle has a measurable impact on mood, energy, and all the facets of physical health. Dr. Audrey's protocol provides instructions for aligning your health goals with your body's natural circaseptan rhythm, unlocking extraordinary benefits. With her accessible writing and actionable advice, Dr. Audrey reveals the secret to harnessing your body's natural rhythm in order to heal whatever ails you and boost how you look, feel, and live. This plan can be effective for losing weight, gaining focus, fighting specific diseases, or simply feeling more in tune with your life. A Week to Change Your Life is the ultimate program to "show us a different way of looking at the problems, reminding us to keep practicing and to feel joy," (Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York) so you can create a life of radiant health and energy.

From the earliest times, the medicinal properties of certain herbs were connected with deities, particularly goddesses. Only now with modern scientific research can we begin to understand the basis and rationality that these divine connections had and, being preserved in myths and religious stories, they continued to have a significant impact through the present day. Riddle argues that the pomegranate, mandrake, artemisia, and chaste tree plants substantially altered the development of medicine and fertility treatments. The herbs, once sacred to Inanna, Aphrodite, Demeter, Artemis, and Hermes, eventually came to be associated with darker forces, representing the instruments of demons and witches. Riddle's ground-breaking work highlights the important medicinal history that was lost and argues for its rightful place as one of the predecessors
When this much-needed collection of critical essays was first published in 1985, it provoked controversy because never before had the various branches of the holistic movement in medicine been analyzed and discussed with such care to determine if the claims made for these methods and procedures could be substantiated. The stakes were high (and they still are!), since each year many desperate people attempt to secure physical relief by spending their hard-earned money on a vast array of exotic treatments: acupuncture; therapeutic touch; rolfing; reflexology; homeopathy; herbal medications; biofeedback; chiropractic; chelation therapy; megadose vitamin therapies; iridology; visualisation; and others.
The old adage "an army runs on its stomach" could easily be applied to your digestive health. There's an invisible army inside your gut, charging and overtaking toxins, pollutants, and antibodies that threaten your health. To enjoy a healthy and energetic life, you need these tiny microorganisms to do their job. But it's easy for them to get out of balance and cause a whole host of health problems, including athlete's foot, skin rashes, allergies, digestive problems, sleep disorders, and high cholesterol.

You can learn how to flush harmful toxins and bacteria out of your body, differentiate between good and bad microbes, and combine probiotics with a healthy diet and proper exercise. Discovered more than a hundred years ago by Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff, probiotics support what holistic healers have known for centuries: you can introduce good bacteria into your system that will engulf and destroy harmful cells. Solve your health problems, protect your immune system, and energize your life with "Probiotics for Life."
My book is to give encouragement to everyone with health problems. Some doctors said that my mother willed me to live. Writing this book gives me a chance to say thank you to my parents, all the doctors, nurses and agencies. That took care of me, my brothers, as well other premature babies and handicapped people everywhere. I grew up in the small town of Wharton, Texas. I am a kind, respectable and giving person. I try to set a good example with my life. Not only for my brothers, but others with health problems. The thing I'm most excided in my life is to have the opportunity to learn about Jehovah God. That's first in my life. You just have to have patience, with prayer. We should all be thankful of the life that we have.
