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.
Several chronic health problems facing modern populations can be
easily treated through the use of natural substances. Many of the
ailments that people suffer from are related to lifestyles and
diet. The immune system, for example, is the focus of tremendous
scientific interest because of its relation to diseases such as
cancer, leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS, and severe
allergies. Yet the immune system can be weakened by
pharmaceuticals. In contrast, the immune system is strengthened by
herbs such as echinacea, astragalus, and reishi.In America, early
settlers brought their folklore from Europe, adding it to the
abundant knowledge of the Native American Indians, who had for
centuries told tales of how the Great Spirit gave them certain
medicinal plants to cure their people. With interest in herbal
cures taken from medicinal plants growing, herbalists are once
again gaining a respected place among healers."Do All Bugs Need
Drugs?" presents a step-by-step guide that explains how to treat
common ailments at home using natural and herbal treatments. It
also offers insightful, common sense health information, useful for
anyone with chronic ailments who is searching for a natural way to
manage their symptoms and pain.
The surface of the eye is the most exposed aqueous medium in the
human body. It is also the most sensitive nerve center. The tears
depend upon the coordination of aqueous, lipid and protein
components to maintain the comfort and efficiency of health of the
cornea as the first optical medium of our dominant sense, Vision.
This system is exquisitely sensitive to the chemistry of our
environment, both internal and external. By supporting all systems
of the body to restore balance and harmony in the biological
terrain, we give the front of the eye the best opportunity to
achieve its design function of accelerated self-healing. The
specific remedies required to achieve this will be different for
each individual, and in fact different for the same individual from
month to month in the unraveling of the unique individual healing
process. Ongoing sources of environmental, dietary, visual and
other stress factors will surface as identifiable contributors, and
be dealt with in real time as this dynamic healing process unfolds.
This book is intended to help as a resource in that process. If
this book can facilitate timely identification of a few causative
or therapeutic factors for you or your most challenging patient,
then it has fulfilled its primary purpose.

This book provides a richly documented account of the historical,
cultural, philosophical and practical dimensions of feng shui. It
argues that where feng shui is entrenched educational systems have
a responsibility to examine its claims, and that this examination
provides opportunities for students to better learn about the key
features of the nature of science, the demarcation of science and
non-science, the characteristics of pseudoscience, and the
engagement of science with culture and worldviews. The arguments
presented for feng shui being a pseudoscience can be marshalled
when considering a whole range of comparable beliefs and the
educational benefit of their appraisal. Feng shui is a
deeply-entrenched, three-millennia-old system of Asian beliefs and
practices about nature, architecture, health, and divination that
has garnered a growing presence outside of Asia. It is part of a
comprehensive and ancient worldview built around belief in chi (qi)
the putative universal energy or life-force that animates all
existence, the cosmos, the solar system, the earth, and human
bodies. Harmonious living requires building in accord with local
chi streams; good health requires replenishment and manipulation of
internal chi flow; and a beneficent afterlife is enhanced when
buried in conformity with chi directions. Traditional Chinese
Medicine is based on the proper manipulation of internal chi by
acupuncture, tai-chi and qigong exercise, and herbal dietary
supplements. Matthews has produced another tour de force that will
repay close study by students, scientists, and all those concerned
to understand science, culture, and the science/culture nexus.

makes an important contribution to science literature. James
Alcock, Psychology, York University, Canada This book provides an
in-depth study of Feng Shui in different periods, considering its
philosophical, historical and educational dimensions; especially
from a perspective of the 'demarcation problem' between science and
pseudoscience. Yao Dazhi, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China

The idea of editing this book was born in the winter of 1988/1989.
Christian Endler was organizing the workshop 'Wasser und
Information' (water and information) in Austria [1], and Jurgen
Schulte was working on a publication of his results on atomic
cluster stabilities and long-range electromagnetic interaction in
atomic clusters. It was Franz Moser from the Technical University
of Graz who brought these two together. After a talk that Moser had
given in Bremen, Schulte explained to hirn his ideas about clusters
and long range interaction, and his concern about reliable theories
and experiments in research on ultra high dilutions (UHD) and
homoeopathy. He was suggested to be a speaker at the Austrian
workshop. Reviewing the contributions of this workshop and the
current literature on UHD and homoeopathy, especially the PhD
thesis by Giesela King [2] and the excellent survey by Marco
Righetti [3], we decided to work on a book in order to critically
encou rage more scientists to work and publish in this field with a
high scientific standard. What we had in mind was a useful
contribution to the goal to lift research on UHD and homoeo pathy
to an internationally acceptable scientific standard, to encourage
international scien tists to work in this area and to establish UHD
and homoeopathy in academic science. Delayed by our individual
academic careers in our specific fields, and delayed by lack of
funds it took us about four years to finish this book.
