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.

Read the Introduction
aPersuasively argued...A fascinating study that makes a real
contribution to discussions of health, wellness and faith in
America.a
--"Publishers Weekly"
"An exploration of the history and practices of black healers
and healing illuminating the vital cultural, intellectual, and
spiritual expression of a people. This fine multidisciplinary work
draws deeply and thoughtfully from the experiences and words of its
subjects, offering alternative visions of human creativity,
resistance, and community."
--Yvonne Chireau, author of "Black Magic: Religion and the
African-American Conjuring Tradition"
Cure a nosebleed by holding a silver quarter on the back of the
neck. Treat an earache with sweet oil drops. Wear plant roots to
keep from catching colds. Within many African American families,
these kinds of practices continue today, woven into the fabric of
black culture, often communicated through women. Such folk
practices shape the concepts about healing that are diffused
throughout African American communities and are expressed in myriad
ways, from faith healing to making a mojo.
Stephanie Y. Mitchem presents a fascinating study of African
American healing. She sheds light on a variety of folk practices
and traces their development from the time of slavery through the
Great Migrations. She explores how they have continued into the
present and their relationship with alternative medicines. Through
conversations with black Americans, she demonstrates how herbs,
charms, and rituals continue folk healing performances. Mitchem
shows that these practices are not simply about healing; they are
linked to expressions of faith, delineating aspects of a holistic
epistemology and pointing to disjunctures between African American
views of wellness and illness and those of the culture of
institutional medicine.
“For those ready and willing to build a new life, here are the
tools. Powerful, incisive, extraordinary writing.” —Neale
Donald Walsch, New York Times bestselling author of Conversations
with God Transform your life with this bestselling, revolutionary,
and accessible seven-step guide—grounded in energy medicine,
neurobiology, and quantum physics—to awaken your true health and
potential through energy healing. Eighteen years ago, health
pioneer and “extraordinary enlightened visionary” (Anita
Moorjani, New York Times bestselling author) Dr. Sue Morter had a
remarkable and profound awakening. While meditating, she
spontaneously accessed an energy field—a level of
consciousness—beyond anything she had ever imagined. This
dramatic experience changed her life and set her on a mission to
discover how to create such radical transformation for her
patients. Through years of advanced study and research in energy
healing and medicine, she developed the Energy Codes. This
life-altering program has now enabled thousands of people around
the world to overcome pain, disease, fatigue, anxiety, and
depression, and to awaken their innate creativity, intuition, and
inner power. Bridging ancient healing practices with cutting-edge
science, The Energy Codes offers a detailed road map to help you
experience deep healing in your life. Grounded in practical,
accessible exercises, including yoga, breathwork, meditations, and
Dr. Morter’s proprietary Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique
(BEST) protocol, The Energy Codes “offers deep insights…that
brilliantly merge the ever-blending worlds of science and
spirituality to help reveal the truth of our being and the depths
of our greatness,” (Jack Canfield, coauthor of the Chicken Soup
for the Soul series).
Do you want to maintain your health and energy level as you age? If
so, then it is essential that you replenish your declining
hormones. In Hormones, Health, and Happiness, Dr. Steven Hotze
reveals how restoring hormones to optimal levels using natural,
bioidentical hormones enables women and men to regain their
vitality.
Dr. Hotze discusses the frequently overlooked problem of
hypothyroidism, which commonly affects women in midlife. Too often,
women with all the signs of low thyroid are told that their blood
results are normal. Find out why women should believe what their
bodies are telling them rather than the results of a blood test.
The conventional medical approach treats symptoms with "anti"
drugs, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, antispasmodics,
anti-arthritics, and others, rather than discovering and correcting
the underlying problems of these symptoms.
In Hormones, Health, and Happiness, Dr. Hotze discusses symptoms of
women and men in midlife, which include fatigue, weight gain,
headaches, depression, insomnia, hot flashes, joint and muscle
pain, brain fog, loss of interest in sex, allergies, and recurrent
infections, to name a few, and addresses their solutions. His
comprehensive eight-point wellness program will help you strengthen
your immune system, balance your hormones, and increase your energy
level.
This program encompasses:
- Treatment of low thyroid
- Treatment of hormonal decline and imbalance
- Treatment of adrenal fatigue
- Treatment of yeast overgrowth
- Treatment of airborne allergies
- Treatment of food allergies
- Vitamin and mineral supplementation
- Nutritionally balanced eating program
Dr. Hotze demonstrates how many health problems can be solved
safely, effectively, and naturally without drugs.
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, then it's time
to take charge of your health and get your life back. By following
Dr. Hotze's recommendations you can begin your journey down a
life-long path of health and happiness.
