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.
The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller 'Deborah James has captured the
heart of the nation' - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
@KensingtonRoyal 'Brave, bright, beautiful' - Lorraine Kelly
'Deborah's ability to find positivity in the darkest of places is
an inspiration to us all' - Davina McCall 'This book has shaken me
awake. I gulped it down in one sitting, then sat and cried... [But]
hope is a character on every single page' - Christie Watson I was
alive when I should have been dead. In another movie, I missed the
sliding door and departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many
others, I had to learn to live not knowing if I have a tomorrow,
because, statistically, I didn't. At the age of 35, I was
blindsided by incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8
per cent chance of surviving five years. Five years later, my only
option was to live in the now and to value one day at a time. How
do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into realistic and
rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise
that 'why not me' is just as valid a question? When Deborah James
was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer at just 35, she learned a
powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers
or destroys us. And with the right skills and approach, we can all
face huge challenges and find strength and hope in the darkest of
places. How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show you how. It
will awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a
tomorrow and live it in the way you want to today. By harnessing
the power of positivity and valuing each day as though it could be
your last, you'll find out, as Deborah did, that it is possible to
live with joy and purpose, no matter what. Ebury, a division of
Penguin Random House, will pay GBP3 from the sale of each copy of
How To Live When You Could Be Dead by Deborah James sold in the UK
to Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is a
charity registered in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland

Energy Works! shows how we can do our own inner work, without a
therapist; how we can connect to spiritual healing energy directly,
without an intermediary. It brings insight and experience from
traditional medicine and psychiatry to the practice of working with
spiritual healing energy particularly SKHM), and explores the
psychological implications of seeking to achieve spiritual
initiation. An initiation is a powerful, immediate connection to
the energy of Source; a moment of wakening when, suddenly, the
illusion of separation from the Universe is finally shattered. It
could happen to you while reading this book.
