by Jack ChallemWhat is the Inflammation Syndrome? It's the cumulative effect of low-grade inflammation -including the aches and pains that we all experience-that grows into chronic, debilitating disease. The Inflammation Syndrome breaks down your body, making you feel old, tired, and sick. Triggered by inflammatory foods in your diet, the Inflammation Syndrome wreaks havoc on your health, paving the way for such serious diseases as heart disease, diabetes, Syndrome X, obesity, arthritis, allergies, asthma-even some cancers. Written by the best-selling coauthor of the groundbreaking Syndrome X, the book that helped bring the attention of the public to insulin resistance and the diabetes epidemic, The Inflammation Syndrome is the first major book to describe the broad role inflammation plays in disease-and to show you how to reverse and heal it. Drawing on the cutting-edge research being done all over the world-research that has led to the successful treatment of many people who were considered unbeatable or incurable by conventional medicine-Jack Challem provides a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation through an easy-to-follow nutritional program. Challem includes quizzes and tests to assess inflammation levels and risks; anti-Inflammation Syndrome recipes and menu plans; and easy ways to use healthy fats and other nutrients to quench the fires of inflammation. Challem reveals many of the hidden dangers in foods that set the stage for inflammation, causing aches, pains, and allergic reactions and increasing the long-term risk of life- threatening diseases. He shares the latest information on the problems with conventional prescription and over-the- counter anti-inflammatory drugs. He also offers dramatic case histories of patients treated by nutritionally oriented practitioners and up-to-the-minute information on and dosage recommendations for the best natural anti-inflammation supplements, such as fish oils, vitamin E, herbs, and many other natural remedies. Providing a powerful plan to safely prevent and overcome inflammatory disorders, The Inflammation Syndrome shows just how easy it can be to take charge of one's diet and health-and to feel great.

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (second edition)
by Scott CunninghamNature has provided a veritable magical pantry in the plants which grow all over our planet. Since ancient times these plants have been used in magic- the practice of causing change by natural (albeit little-understood) powers. Though the medicinal properties of plants are fairly well-known-many of the most widely prescribed drugs are synthesized versions of substances originally derived from plants-their occult powers are less accessible. Much of their magic still lies in the shadow of secrecy. Our ancestors knew that plants had mysterious, magical powers. Although the magic in herbs has been forgotten by many, it has never disappeared. Return to the days when nature spirits dwelled in sacred groves and fairies danced in flower gardens. Inside this book you'll find magical uses for hundreds of plants: String a garland of marigolds above your door to keep evil from entering your home. Bury vervain around your house and in your house plants-wealth will flow and the plants will thrive. Carry a bag of orris root to attract love. Drink rosebud tea before bed to induce prophetic dreams. - Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is a treasury of herb wisdom and lore from the Old and New Worlds.

Toning: The Creative Power of the Voice
by Laurel Elizabeth KeyesToning is an ancient method of healing, which I hope will be recognized and used with new understanding now that we have more scientific explanations for it. It does not depend upon faith, nor belief in the method, any more than these are necessary to our use of electricity to provide light and energy in our daily living. There appear to be certain natural flows of energy in our bodies and if we recognize them and cooperate with them, they benefit us. Toning is not limited to one's religion, or lack of it. It does not require one's belief. Apparently it is not a "gift" but something available to anyone who goes through the mechanics of letting the voice express itself in a natural way. Anyone who can groan can Tone and experience its benefits. There is no mystery about Toning. It can be understood through material science, physiology and psychology as well as the most ancient concepts of man's relationship to his God. Please try it.
