More Than A Smoke is an academic text written by a medical herbalist for health practitioners, botanists, marijuana lovers and hemp growers alike.

The concept of 'food as medicine' is rooted in our most ancient of traditions, including Greek, Indian and Chinese medicine. If we consider the anthropological evidence it is very likely that our hunter-gatherer ancestors learned about medicinal herbs by observing wild animals deliberately eating certain plants in their diet as a way to treat different health issues. For all of nature and throughout the history of traditional medicine there has never been any real separation between food and medicine, and the present work aims to restore this connection. Informed by the theory and practices of Ayurveda and scientific research, Food As Medicine: The Theory and Practice of Food provides a practical and lucid model of what food is, how it impacts your health, and how to make the best choices in your diet - depending on your individual needs. Includes meal plans and recipes. Todd Caldecott is a trained medical herbalist and practitioner of Ayurveda, in practice since 1997.

All natural health treatments, whether they involve dietary changes, vitamin or herbal supplementation, detoxification therapies, or bodywork, focus on removing the disease causing agents using the body's own power of healing. This process often brings on an unpleasant reaction known as the 'healing crisis'. Unlike a disease crisis (illness) the healing crisis is a sign of improving health. In this book you will learn how to distinguish between a healing crisis and a disease crisis. You will learn how healing works, what to do, and what not to do to facilitate healing, and how to cope with unpleasant symptoms until the crisis is over. If you undergo any type of natural healing program, you must be well informed about the symptoms and processes of the healing crisis. The book will guide you through the natural healing process.

It's been called everything from hemp and Mary Jane, to reefer, pot, and weed. "Cannabis sativa"-marijuana-offers therapeutic applications for everything from Alzheimer's disease and AIDS to Crohn's disease and cancer, and yet it is at the center of a national debate over its medicinal uses. And although research and anecdotal evidence clearly support the benefits of "Cannabis sativa," use of the healing herb is hindered by misinformation and misunderstanding.

The first English presentation of the Beljanski method of fighting cancer from within the DNA
- Details initiatives for dealing with aging and cancer by understanding the immune system at a cellular level
- Explains how the DNA reacts to aging and the nutrients it needs to fight disease
- Includes information on Beljanski's plant-based compounds that target unhealthy DNA
"The Secret to Long Life in Your DNA" presents the work of Mirko Beljanski, a biologist-biochemist at the Pasteur Institute in France, whose innovative research on DNA led to the discovery of new treatments for cancer and other degenerative diseases. The Beljanski method fights disease by targeting damaged or destabilized DNA in the body, allowing cells with healthy DNA to thrive. Beljanski, with his wife Monique, went on to develop natural compounds that enhance the body's resistance not only to degenerative diseases but also to the effects of environmental toxicity and the ravages of aging. Beljanski's compounds are now being studied at Columbia University, and other centers, where early findings support his theories.
In this book, the authors build on Mirko Beljanski's work to demonstrate how physiological and environmental factors both weaken the body's immune system and alter DNA functioning. They explain how aging exacerbates these effects, leading to cancer and other diseases. The authors then present the innovative compounds Beljanski developed and how they are able to prevent dysfunctional cells from multiplying. They also detail how to integrate essential nutritional strategies for maximizing health and fighting aging at the cellular level.
