Food for the Spirit

This book has a wealth of information about seven common foods and natural
materials that have proven to be very beneficial additions to one's health
regimen. The healing properties of antioxidants, bee pollen, cayenne
pepper, garlic and onions, ginseng, turmeric, and wheat grass are
discussed. Dr. Heinerman is enthusiastic about his subject, and his prose
often has an evangelical tone, but his facts and anecdotal material make
an impressive case for the inclusion of these seven natural medicines in
everyone's herbal medicine cabinet.
I didn't care much for the tone of this book when I first picked it up, but I did find its information useful. I refer back to this book often and find more reasons to like it each time. Everyone who reads this book will benefit from learning about these seven natural wonders.
As a massage therapist, one of my most challenging experiences is working with
someone who is experiencing chronic pain. The cause of the pain is often not
immediately apparent, and treatment seldom leads to permanent relief without
making lifestyle changes at the same time. This book offers low-impact, easily
performed excercises that aid in returning the body to its natural posture and
function. Along with a relatively healthy lifestyle, these exercises can offer
hope to people who have suffered too long with chronic pain.
Among the conditions that these excercises are designed to treat are lower back pain, hip problems, sciatica, bad knees, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, stiff neck, fatigue, sinus problems, vertigo, TMJ pain, shin splints, varicose veins, sprained or weak ankles, bursitis, tendonitis, and rotator cuff problems. The book also includes special preventative and maintanance excercise programs for the entire body. I would recommend this book to anyone experiencing recurring or long lasting pain.
This is a very useful survey of about sixty holistic techniques available for mind-body
integration. It is the most comprehensive listing of these types of techniques that I have
found to date. It includes techniques from both Eastern and Western healing traditions.
Along with a description of each technique, the author discusses reasons for selecting it,
what to expect from one session or a series of sessions, and what, if anything, you should
beware of as a client. |
The practice of medicine in western society has come under increasing
criticism in recent years partly because the scientific model that it is based
upon fails to account for phenomena that cannot be explained or reproduced.
This is one reason among many for the recent popularity of medical systems
in which practices and philosophies take a more holistic approach. These
are the so-called alternative medicines. The practice of medicine in China
is one of those systems based upon observations that the mind and the body
are connected and that what happens to one affects the other.
Chinese medicine is not new. But it is unfamiliar to many people in western society. This book offers a clear and understandable introduction for anyone wishing to learn more about this ancient and remarkably effective system of medicine. It is a fascinating look into a philosophy that recognizes the multidimensional and interdependent nature of life. This book is a classic in its field and should become part of every seeker's library.
Soon after antibiotics were developed to combat pathogenic microorganisms,
antibiotic resistant strains began to appear. Antibiotics have been shown
to produce undesirable side-effects in the body and even kill microbes
which reside in the body and play a crucial role in supprting its
metabolism and its immune system. Antibiotics are clearly not the panacea
for fighting disease that many had hoped they might be.
In addition to exploring the problems presented by the overuse of these drugs, this book discusses why we get sick, effects of the environment on the immune system, the role of heredity and lifestyle in health, and the roles of mood, mind, and stress in infections. Natural medicines that support the body's immune system are discussed. Finally, specific suggestions are given to help you avoid using antibiotics.
