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.
The Master Key is here given to the world as a means of tapping the
great Cosmic Intelligence and attracting from it that which
corresponds to the ambitions, and aspirations of each reader. The
Master Key teaching has been published in the form of a
Correspondence Course of 24 lessons, delivered to students one per
week for 24 weeks. The reader, who now receives the whole 24 parts
at one times, is warned not to attempt to read the book like a
novel, but to treat it as a course of study and conscientiously to
imbibe the meaning of each part - reading and re-reading one part
only per week before proceeding to the next. Otherwise the later
parts will tend to be misunderstood and the reader's time and money
will be wasted. Used as thus instructed The Master Key will make of
the reader a greater, better personality, and equipped with a new
power to achieve any worthy personal purpose and a new ability to
enjoy life's beauty and wonder.
The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Difference (SPD)–and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents–now revised and updated.
Does your child exhibit…
- Over-responsivity–or under-responsivity–to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a “sensory avoider,” withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games–or he may be a “sensory disregarder,” needing a jump start to get moving.
- Over-responsivity–or under-responsivity–to sounds, sights taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues.
- Cravings for sensation? The “sensory craver” never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement.
- Poor sensory discrimination? She may not sense the difference between objects or experiences–unaware of what she’s holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when she’s falling or how to catch herself.
- Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go–wearing out everyone around him–or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world.
- Problems with posture or motor coordination? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.
These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Difference–a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents and professionals–and a drug-free treatment approach for children.
This revised edition includes expanded information about SPD “look-alikes,” including Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and autism; about diagnosis and treatments; and about other topics.
This challenge to the paradigms of addiction and recovery theory shows those in recovery how to tap their own source of positive energy in a new approach to the search for serenity--a quest long recognized as the key to recovery.

The past few decades have seen remarkable technological growth in
the delivery of modern medicine. Pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and
surgical interventions have transformed the way in which health is
perceived and medicine is practiced. The modern patient has become
so dependent upon these therapies and interventions that they take
a passive interest in their health. For author Dr. Mark W. Hatcher,
this is a symptom of a culture in crisis-doctors treat disease
instead of fostering health. Using real-life examples from a busy
emergency room, he investigates this health-care crisis and
reevaluates what it means to be healthy. In "Beyond Desire:
Rediscovering Health and Wellness," Hatcher examines the
assumptions upon which the modern medical world is founded,
explores the healing methods that have been practiced for centuries
by healers around the world, and proposes a strategy for health
that focuses on the importance of the mind and spirit in achieving
and maintaining health. "Beyond Desire" shows how the practices of
meditation, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, proper eating, and selfless
service are the true pathways to healing and rediscovering health
and wellness.

I'm from Little Rock Arkansas in 1955, mom moves Monticello
ArkansasI was an average student and not studying too much on my
own as I had chores at home and so I paid attention in school and
did my homework and nearly graduated on time, in 1973.Yet I did not
graduate on time, but I joined the U.S. Army in 1979 learned to
hunt men, and build bridges and set the explosives that would blow
them up, and how to stay alive if they started dropping some
chemicals on us. After doing my U.S. Army tour of Duty, I went to
night school in 1983, 1 year of Deutsch /German. I re-enlisted
Observation Scout Helicopter repairs, put helicopters in the air,
but with a serious back injury, a doctor that did not know what to
do, a torn the ligament, right knee, I didn't get proper medical
attention, that cost me the use of the right leg.I was retired
early, and now have time to write my book(s), and this is only my
first. I speak English, Deutsch/German, now I am learning
Dutch/Netherlands.I work online a few hours a day and offer people
a website without a limit on pages that they can set up. 10 100 or
more is great with this company. This company has become #37 of
