On Learning to Heal
At thirteen, Ed Cohen was diagnosed with Crohn's disease-a chronic, incurable condition that nearly killed him in his early twenties. At his diagnosis, his doctors told him that the best he could hope for would be periods of remission. Unfortunately, doctors never mentioned healing as a possibility. In On Learning to Heal, Cohen draws on fifty years of living with Crohn's to consider how Western medicine's turn from an "art of healing" toward a "science of medicine" deeply affects both medical practitioners and their patients. He demonstrates that although medicine can now offer many seemingly miraculous therapies, medicine is not and has never been the only way to enhance healing. Exploring his own path to healing, he argues that learning to heal requires us to desire and value healing as a vital possibility. With this book, Cohen advocates reviving healing's role for all those whose lives are touched by illness.

Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing
Language is the key to communication and connection regardless of whether it is through digital platforms, body language, or simply face-to-face conversation. Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people seek out the opportunity to learn and teach others new languages; it allows us to connect with more people across the globe. Despite this, it was widely believed in scientific circles that bilingualism was a disadvantage-something that might slow down the developing brain-rather than a social and cognitive advantage. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? strives to examine the recent research that disproves this out-dated theory, with a focus on how bilingualism affects our cognitive ageing. Our discussion begins with an exploration of the history of research on the cognitive effects of bilingualism and ends with a look at the common misconceptions that people hold and how they may be supported by popular culture. Along the way, the connection between specific ages and bilingualism-including when to learn a language-the effects that bilingualism has on the brain, and the most influential studies and scientists that have brought us to these conclusions will also be discussed. Bilingualism and Cognitive Ageing: Does learning a new language help prevent cognitive ageing? is a brief exploration that strives to educate the general reader on the history and science behind bilingualism and cognitive ageing.
My Cancer Journal
've been there - I know you are scared. When you are first diagnosed with cancer, processing all of the emotions can be so overwhelming. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, something that really helped me was writing and that is why I created this journal for YOU.My Cancer Journal is a safe space for you to make sense of the chaos by writing down all of your thoughts and feelings, including anger, fear, and disbelief, but also humour and gratitude (I know right - you can't imagine ever feeling gratitude again... but you will).Use this journal however feels right for you. There is space to write, draw, doodle, or stick things in. There are drawings to colour or puzzles to keep your brain occupied in the waiting room. There are diary prompts and mindfulness exercises. There is space for all the practical, admin stuff that will seem really overwhelming, so it's good to have one place to record it all - appointments, questions, symptoms and side-effects - all the fun stuff. Keeping on top of the day-to-day 'stuff' will hopefully allow you time to be creative and be free to express your emotions, both the positive and negative feelings. There is no right or wrong way to deal with a cancer diagnosis, there is just YOUR way.My Cancer Journal would make a great gift for a loved one who has been recently diagnosed. It's nigh on impossible to know how to really help or what to say. By letting them know you care, you are there whenever they need you, you understand they may need time and space to process the devastating sentence 'I'm afraid is cancer', shows how much they mean to you.Everyone's story is unique. That's what makes us special. One story is not more important than another, just different. You can read my story in my memoir But Seriously, Who Knew?

The Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Cure - Fraud or Miracle?
Cancer rates are rising world-wide, with a 2012 World Health Organization report stating that there were 14 million new cases every year with 8.2 Million cancer related deaths. These astronomical numbers make cancer a leading cause of death in the world, and with 1 in 4 deaths in the United States attributed to Cancer, it is the second leading cause of death in America alone. While the causes of Cancer vary from tobacco use to excess weight, one theory suggests the alkaline and acidity levels in the body also play a strong factor. High acidity is linked to poorer health conditions while a more neutral, alkaline level is associated with more favorable, even robust, health. Science is taking a hard look at ways to neutralize the rising acidity of people worldwide, with some studies looking to Sodium Bicarbonate, or baking soda, as a tool that can be used to increase the preferred alkaline state of the body. This guide explores the many uses and potential benefits of adding Sodium Bicarbonate to your daily diet; from how much to use, when to use it, how to ingest it, benefits and potential side effects, all questions are answered and explained in detail. Cancer may be taking more lives daily, but we may have a weapon against it... in our own kitchen cabinets.

The Silent War Within
This book includes the author's research conclusion that reverses the present medical practice to inhibit tumor growth.The author reveals that LDL cholesterol is likely a mutated fungal sterol that was horizontally transferred from parasitic fungi only to survive antibodies of the hosts yielding mutants, cancerous cells, and causing all types of autoimmune diseases. The author explains why vitamin D is not the target to create and why ergosterol and LDL cholesterol are the targets to destroy. This book is introduced as a landmark to inspire all people including cancer patients and healthcare providers about "cancer" which is misdiagnosed as flu or a cold in the beginning only to discover that the cancer is treated by antifungal properties in the end.The author discusses why Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) vitamins cause antibiotic or antifungal resistance and why GMO vitamins may exacerbate autoimmune diseases. This book discusses "causes and effects" and "possible treatments" of autoimmune diseases. This book discusses why the early signs of autoimmune diseases are ignored either by patients or by healthcare providers, how autoimmune diseases are initiated by a fungal mutation, why the autoimmune diseases respond to antifungal agents, and how curable diseases turn to incurable diseases.This book explains why fungal disruptions in human metabolisms result in "the various names of illnesses" and depicts the interaction between foods, human bodies, parasitic fungi, and sunlight. This book discusses how harmful acids are produced by the parasitic fungi, how alcohol (fungal urine) and tobaccos may chemically make more ergosterol or lanosterol in the hosts and how patients can repair their damaged cells by alkali metal foods (electron donors) and by photons from sunlight (electron donors).This book explains how cancer tumors and cysts can be treated, and how female patients can resume their menopause by electron donors such as sunlight, Far-Infrared (FIR) heat therapy, and alkaline foods. This book explains how pets can also avoid cancer (untreated fungal infection).The research data are based on medical biochemistry textbooks; published biology and biochemistry journals; books authored by scientists, medical doctors, and research teams; published clinical findings of medical schools and medical facilities; discoveries of NASA and other scientists; registered information of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and published civil cases.* This book is not a substitute of a medical diagnosis or a prescription.* Index was added.

Memories And Forgetfulness
Memories and Forgetfulness is a difficult story inspired by the author's family that focuses on loved ones with dementia. The story is told in two parts, Book One are Letters to Sarah and Book Two is a a story describing the author's interaction with his father. Both books describe the difficult tasks of caring for a person who is forgetful and provide anecdotes or sort stories about caregiving, love, loss and grief of relatives as they navigate with the person suffering from this debilitating disease. The stories told are riveting accounts of the interactions, told with humor, introspection and the serious business of finding the right mix of caregiving. It is a must read for those who find themselves as family members or those caring for patients with dementia. The first book in the series is called "Letters to Sarah" about my grandmother who developed dementia and my father's correspondence with his sister helping grandmother manage her disease. Later in the book, dad talks about his forgetfulness and how he is dealing with the onset of his disease until he is unable to write further. The second book entitled "Failing Memory," discusses the relationship I had with my father from the moment he tells me about his disease to his passing. In the end he is placed on hospice and I explain our agonizing decisions we made. I have been told the books are touching and the reader may need to keep tissues handy. I believe the books provide a glimpse into the day to day impacts of dementia on family members, caregivers and the person receiving care.Larry Calkins

Cancer Can Be Cured!
Father Romano Zago, a Franciscan Friar and scholar, wrote the book Cancer Can Be Cured to reveal to the world an all natural Brazilian Recipe that contains the juice made from the whole leaf plant of Aloe Arborescens and honey that has been shown to rapidly restore the body's health so it heals itself of all types of cancer. The book tells how it was while administering to the poor in the shantytown of Rio Grande dol Sul, Brazil that he and the provincial Father Arno Reckziegel, witnessed the healing of simple people of cancer who used this recipe. Later, when he had assignments in Israel and Italy where this aloe species grows naturally he continued to see great success in the chronically ill being cured when he recommended they use this recipe. This inspired for him to spend the next 20 years in researching the science behind this aloe species and the publication of that research in this book along with his numerous first hand anecdotes of cancer healing by those using the Brazilian
Physical Vascular Therapy - The Next Generation Of Medicine?
When we think of the circulatory system, we often picture the large arteries running to and from the heart. Yet what most of us don't consider is the microcirculation that also takes place inside the body. Microcirculation is the movement of blood through the smallest vessels; the Arterioles, the capillaries, and the venules. These tiny veins serve a huge purpose by delivering oxygen and nutrients to every part of the human body, yet they are easily susceptible to damage or disease and their size make them difficult to treat by conventional methods. Medical Science is making advances, striving to find solutions that will enable the treatment of these small vessels and the entire Microcirculation System, with one company discovering a technology known as physical vascular therapy. This book looks deeply into this revolutionary technology as well as what it means for the future of Medical Science, the Microcirculatory System itself and overall health. Topics: Microcirculation * Sectors of Microcirculation * The Regulation of Capillary Exchange * The Processes of the Microcirculation of Blood * The Bemer Signal * Vasomotion * Hypertension and Microcirculation
Mastering Diabetes
The instant New York Times bestseller. A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance. Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary book, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease. The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance-the root cause of blood glucose variability- while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry. With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is an ancient disease that has fascinated and frightened scientists and laymen alike. Before we acquired a working knowledge of the central nervous system, seizures were shrouded in mystery. In antiquity, the disease was accredited to gods and demonic possession, causing those with epilepsy to be feared and isolated. Epilepsy patients continued to face discrimination through the mid-20th century. This discrimination ranged from lack of access to health insurance, jobs, marriage inequality, and even forced sterilizations. Despite the strides that have been made, there are still many misconceptions globally regarding epilepsy. While there has been substantial progress, more work needs to be done to educate people across the globe about the pathology of the disease, its causes, and mechanisms. Studies show that patients with epilepsy living in communities that understand the pathology and cause of seizures are generally more successful in social and educational environments. In this book, beyond current treatments that may include anti-epileptic drugs (also called anti-seizure medications), neurosurgery, neurostimulation, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes, I will discuss the recent modalities of gene therapy, immunotherapy, and neutrophil therapy, and will outline more advanced research options, some of which remain to be pursued. I will also posit that the root cause of epilepsy is an autoimmune disease that had gone rogue, damaging the brain's normal functions and leading to neurodegenerative diseases, including epilepsy. Under this theory, the seizures are but the symptoms of that disease. Brain function being highly non-linear, it is not too surprising that anti-seizure/anti-epileptic drugs that assume a linear brain function have been only partly successful. In all these endeavors, the well-being of the patient is foremost, and that is why I will also include suggestions, recommendations, and available supporting resources for patients and their caregivers, how they can live and cope with their epilepsy, and what they can do about it.
