Chelsea Green Publishing Co Statin Nation: The Ill-Founded War on
Book SynopsisHeart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and for decades conventional health authorities have pushed that the culprits are fat and cholesterol clogging up coronary arteries. Consequently, lowering cholesterol has become a hugely lucrative business, and cholesterol-lowering Statin drugs are now the most prescribed medication in the world, with clinical data showing one billion people eligible for prescription. However, these cholesterol guidelines have been heavily criticized, and increasingly, doctors and researchers have been questioning the role cholesterol plays in heart disease. We now know that people with heart disease often do not, in fact, have high cholesterol, and even the strongest supporters of the cholesterol hypothesis now admit that no ideal level of cholesterol can be identified. Large-scale studies have proven that statins are not generating the benefits that were predicted, and new research shows that high cholesterol may actually prevent heart disease. Worse still, millions of people in the United States and worldwide are taking statins preventatively, at great cost to their health. A complete reevaluation of the real causes of heart disease is long overdue, not to mention an inquiry into why the pharmaceutical industry continues to overprescribe statins (and market them aggressively to consumers) despite this evidence. Statin Nation offers a new understanding of heart disease, and Justin Smith forges an innovative path away from the outdated cholesterol myth with a viable alternative model to address the real causes of heart disease. Statin Nation provides detailed examinations of nutritional alternatives that are up to six times more effective than statins, and other interventions that have been shown to be up to eleven times more effective than statins. But all of these methods are currently ignored by health authorities. Smith provides a heart disease prevention plan that anyone can use, providing hope for the future of heart-disease treatment with a purpose.Trade Review“In my experience, statin drugs are the number one cause of iatrogenic (doctor-caused) disease in the United States. For those who want proof, I suggest they read Statin Nation. Justin Smith doesn’t fall for the usual “coronary artery plaque is the only cause of heart disease” mantra. That theory—and its attendant drugs, stents, and bypasses—has been a boondoggle for the medical-industrial complex but not so helpful for people. In Statin Nation, Smith carefully and accurately assesses this misguided theory, comes to more well founded conclusions, and helps his readers find their way to more productive approaches to preventing and treating heart disease. Well done.”—Thomas Cowan, MD, author of Human Heart, Cosmic Heart“This book amalgamates and updates the author’s two Statin Nation documentaries, which are also highly recommended. It provides a succinct but comprehensive discussion of the fallacies of the lipid hypothesis of coronary heart disease. It explains why neither cholesterol nor saturated fats cause heart attacks and why there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” cholesterol. Abundant references for those who want additional information.”—Paul J. Rosch, MD, clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry, New York Medical College; chairman of the board, The American Institute of Stress“A complete and authoritative explanation of the causes of heart disease. Smith’s presentation explains why statin therapy is ineffective and dangerous, and why the cholesterol hypothesis is obsolete and disproven by scientific evidence. This book fills an important need for a comprehensive explanation of the pharmaceutical industry’s efforts to profit from statin drugs, of the trivial effect on prevention of heart disease by these drugs, and of their serious toxic side effects. More importantly, the book describes the true causes of heart disease and emphasizes optimal nutrition as the correct approach to prevention.”—Kilmer McCully, MD, author of The Heart Revolution“Our utmost wealth is our health. Accordingly, Statin Nation demonstrates that lifestyle changes are the cornerstone of good cardiovascular health, and that the supposed benefits of widely used heart medicine—lauded by industry-sponsored research—are based on flawed science. I concur with Justin in this effort to warn our population about the dangers of statin drugs.”—Sherif Sultan, PhD, professor of vascular surgery, National University of Ireland; president, International Society for Vascular Surgery

Chelsea Green Publishing Co Bioregulatory Medicine: An Innovative Holistic Approach to Self-Healing
Book SynopsisOver half of the world’s population is afflicted with some form of chronic or degenerative illness. Heart disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, neurological conditions, cancer, Lyme disease—the list goes on. The conventional, allopathic, treat-the-symptom-with-pharmaceutical-drugs model is rapidly falling out of favor as patients are searching for nontoxic, advanced prevention and healing modalities that actually work. Bioregulatory Medicine introduces a model that has proven effective for decades in other more forward-thinking developed countries, including Switzerland and Germany. Our bodies have many bioregulating systems, including the cardiovascular, digestive, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, and so on. Bioregulatory medicine is a comprehensive and holistic approach to health that advocates the use of natural healing methods to support and restore the body’s intrinsic self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms, as opposed to simply treating symptoms with integrative therapies. Bioregulatory medicine is about discovering the root cause of disease and takes into account the entire person from a genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, energetic, and emotional point of view. So while patients may have the same disease or prognosis, the manifestation of illness is entirely bioindividual and must be treated and prevented on an individual level. Bioregulatory Medicine addresses the four pillars of health—drainage and detox, diet, mind-body medicine, and oral health—using a sophisticated synthesis of the very best natural medicine with modern advances in technology. In addition to identifying the cause of disease, bioregulatory medicine promotes disease prevention and early intervention of illness through noninvasive diagnostics and treatments, and incorporates the use of over 100 different non-toxic diagnostics and treatments from around the world. Forward-thinking patients and integrative practitioners will find Bioregulatory Medicine invaluable as they seek to deepen their understanding of the body’s many regulating systems and innate ability to heal itself.Trade ReviewForeword, Starred Review— "The authors bring a multifaceted wealth of experience and expertise that equips people with the background knowledge and practical understanding to change the way they think and reap the rewards. The array of authors makes the book a complete tapestry rather than a single thread. The wisdom of the book is applicable to many medical issues. Bioregulatory Medicine puts the patient’s needs and benefit back at the heart of health care."“Sick has become the new normal as the numbers of chronically ill adults and children is ever-increasing, and patient frustration mounts as Western medicine fails to address chronic health challenges. Bioregulatory Medicine offers a clear and concise map on how to understand the holistic model of integrative health practice via a unified mind and body approach while supporting the individual’s biology to self-regulate and regenerate. This evidence-based book takes the reader on a journey to understand how to implement a systems-focused approach to healing. This concise review is an excellent book for patients wanting to get healthy based on time-tested methods as well as for health practitioners looking to expand their own practice treatment modalities.”—Michelle Perro, MD, author of What’s Making Our Children Sick?“I sincerely hope that the future of medicine looks much more like the approach outlined so expertly in Bioregulatory Medicine. Imagine a world in which each person’s individuality drives the approach to treatment and good health doesn’t simply mean not having any disease, but rather ‘an optimized state of balance that permits a person to achieve their ultimate or highest purpose.’ Luckily, this type of health care is already being practiced by doctors all over the world, and this easy-to-digest guide will open this whole world to you.”—J.B. Handley, author of How to End the Autism Epidemic“This small book captures so many important ideas about sustainable, biologically based medicine. Its wisdom is palpable, and its science believable. To my many colleagues who, like myself, were steeped in the sciences during medical school but became disillusioned once we hit the clinical years, there is hope. This book shows us where we left our roots, which were deeply embedded in an understanding of our amazing human physiology, its intricate biochemistry, and its awe inspiring anatomy which serve as the scaffolding for each miracle of life. Bioregulatory Medicine is a refreshing look at what matters in medicine and how we can work with the human body, not against it, and without fear. We are all a complex integrated system of body-mind-spirit and, I might add, a community. Each of us is unique, each person has their own presentation and history. Thank you to all the authors who help us see what we share in common and embolden us to better care for ourselves and each other.”—Heather Tallman Ruhm, MD, medical director of the Biomed Center NE

Hay House Dream to Freedom A Handbook for Integrating
Book SynopsisDreams are often laden with emotion. Not only do the dreams themselves contain emotional triggers, but a frightening dream can leave us stressed and shaken in waking life. We might also be anxious about the possible recurrence of a bad dream. The Dream to Freedom technique is an effective way to address both the fear-producing aspects of dreams, and the waking anxiety associated with the possible recurrence of the dream. Using a structured approach drawn from traditional Gestalt therapy, it identifies emotionally triggering elements of a dream, and then applies EFT (also known as tapping) to each one in turn. Robert and Lynne Hoss are pioneers of the Dream to Freedom technique, which shows you the hidden meaning of each dream element. This practice, when combined with EFT, often provides surprising insights about the link between the dream and your waking life problems. Dream to Freedom guides you on an imaginal journey to creating positive outcomes in your dreams. It's also been used to: Evoke lucid dreams; Eliminate recurring nightmares; Remember forgotten dreams; Access subconscious creativity; Heal old childhood traumas; Reduce emotional triggering when you can't recall a specific event; Heal anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other psychological problems; Tap within dreams. Dream to Freedom represents one of the most fascinating frontiers in which EFT can be applied, and is recommended for longtime dreamwork students as well as those with a more casual interest in the intersection between dreamwork, personal growth, and EFT.

Companion Press,US Reframing Ptsd as Traumatic Grief
Book SynopsisAn estimated eight percent of Americans are thought to be suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder at any given time. Many are victims of or witnesses to violence. Others have been neglected of abused. Some have experienced a traumatic accident or natural disaster. Still others have experienced the sudden and perhaps violent death of someone they love. No matter the cause, PTSD results in symptoms of acute stress, including anxiety, persistent thoughts or flashbacks, and a host of other physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual challenges. In this guide for counselors and caregivers, Dr. Alan Wolfelt reframes PTSD as a form of grief. Helping PTSD sufferers mourn their unacknowledged and “carried” grief over the traumatic events that caused their symptoms is the key to helping them heal. Rather than seeking to quickly treat away symptoms of PTSD, caregivers who follow Dr. Wolfelt’s “companioning” philosophy will instead see the natural and necessary PTSD symptoms as indications that the sufferer needs additional support and encouragement to express himself. This holistic new approach acknowledges clinical PTSD treatments as part of the solution while emphasizing that authentic mourning is the primary and most essential healer.

Frog Ltd Embodied Being: The Philosophical Roots of Manual
Book SynopsisEmbodied Being is unique among books on manual therapy, offering an "infrastructure for intuition," a philosophical approach to what is essentially a practical process of diagnosis and treatment with one''s hands. Grounded in the author''s decades of practice as a Rolfer and Zen meditator, the book offers a first-of-its-kind three-step method for training practitioners how to see holistically, given the enormously important role perception plays in assessing clients. By exposing many of the unconscious philosophical assumptions that occlude our understanding the depths of manual therapy, Embodied Being promises to illuminate the full scope of body-mind healing, from the point of view of both the practitioner and the person receiving the work.Embodied Being states the principles of intervention and shows practitioners how to use them to answer three fundamental questions common to all forms of therapy: What do I do first? What do I do next? and When am I finished? Perplexed that most practitioners are unable to answer these questions and simply rely on their intuition, Maitland sets out to define what makes a truly life-altering bodywork session, drawing on his understanding of Goethe, Merleau-Ponty, and other great thinkers. Maitland proposes that the holistic approach in bodywork is capable of creating new possibilities for the future by erasing the patterns that bind us to a dysfunctional past. Such sessions can so profoundly reshape the body that there is no longer any room for emotional torment--thus manual therapy can free bodies of physical pain, releasing the innate joy within the core of all human beings. Ultimately, giving and receiving manual therapy teaches both practitioners and clients how to move with grace, open their hearts, and touch the numinous.

Rodale Press Inc. The Anatomy of a Calling: A Doctor's Journey from
Book SynopsisWe are all, every single one of us, heroes. We are all on what Joseph Campbell calls “a hero’s journey;” we are all on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the assignment our souls were sent to Earth to fulfill. Navigating the hero’s journey, Lissa Rankin, MD, argues, is one of the cornerstones of living a meaningful, authentic, healthy life.In clear, engaging prose, Lissa describes her entire spiritual journey for the first time--beginning with what she calls her “perfect storm” of events--and recounts the many transformative experiences that led to a profound awakening of her soul. Through her father’s death, her daughter’s birth, career victories and failures, and an ongoing struggle to identify as both a doctor and a healer, Lissa discovers a powerful self-awareness. As she shares her story, she encourages you to find out where you are on your own journey, offering inspiring guideposts and practices along the way. With compelling lessons on trusting intuition, surrendering to love, and learning to see adversity as an opportunity for soul growth, The Anatomy of a Calling invites you to make a powerful shift in consciousness and reach your highest destiny.Trade Review“Poignant and powerful, this book works equally as a memoir and a self-help guide. Yet there is also an undefinable third thing within its covers. It isn't only a guide to the transition into one's calling. Potentially it is itself part of that transition, shifting reality for those who read it.” —Charles Eisenstein, author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible“If you combined Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, Cheryl Strayed's Wild, and James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy, you'd get Lissa Rankin's The Anatomy of a Calling. Although this book is about Lissa and her story, you won't doubt for one minute that it's really about you and your story. Much more than a memoir, this is a road map for those on the spiritual path who sense that they're being called to fulfill a sacred mission. Loaded with nurturing comfort along with practical tools for navigating your hero's journey, this book will help you become a miracle worker at a time when we need miracles!” —Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason“Lissa Rankin has written a brave, deeply personal book. We all struggle with finding our purpose—yet we all have hidden strengths that can be uncovered and set free. The Anatomy of a Calling is the practical guide to bringing greater meaning to our lives.” —Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup and The Happiness of Pursuit“In this memoir Lissa Rankin MD offers us a deeply honest and personal account of The Hero’s Journey, the universal path each of us travels towards an authentic life. At critical steps of the way she shares Guideposts and Practices to help us each travel our own Hero’s Journey to our own unique destination. Anatomy of a calling is a gift, a companion for the road for anyone who feels they are traveling uncharted territory alone.” —Rachel Naomi Remen MD, Author, Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather’s Blessings“Every once in awhile a book comes along that feels like that companion you've been longing for to hold your hand on the incredible journey of life. Lissa Rankin has beautifully written The Anatomy of a Calling for you to transform your desire to do and be more into knowing, once and for all, your sacred purpose for being here. Enjoy this heartfelt journey as you realize that you are the hero in the story she shares.” —Kristine Carlson, co-author to the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff books“I made the mistake of starting The Anatomy of a Calling near bedtime. Don’t do this unless you are willing to lose a lot of sleep! Lissa’s story is absolutely riveting, moving and so wise. Read this book and be awakened to all that life wants for you.” —Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman’s Comfort Book and A Year of Daily Joy“A poignant, courageous and soul-stirring invitation to your own unique true-path. What is so magnificent about this book is that it refuses to distinguish a life emblazoned with sacred purpose from a life of vulnerable and deep feeling. Our true-path is not a head-trip, not a quest for egoic glory, not a hyped up stage show, it is a journey to and through the heart, a resonant return to the callings and pathways encoded in the bones of our being. We spend too much time listening to the misidentified outer world, while our greater story is hungrily laying in wait within us. Read Lissa's brave story of unfolding, and you will surely awaken your own. By the time you finish this book, the soulular phone will be ringing off the hook, reminding you of why you are here. Answer the bloody phone!” —Jeff Brown, author of Soulshaping and An Uncommon Bond“Callings do not go away no matter how long it takes, how scared you feel or how much you try to resist. Lissa's brilliant and very wise book is a vulnerably powerfull support and catalyst for you discovering your calling, and living and being your calling.” —SARK artist & author Succulent Wild LOVE“Lissa Rankin is the real deal. The Anatomy of a Calling made me cry and laugh...it is so honest and brave. More than a memoir, this beautifully crafted book is a fearless guide to the Great Unknown. The simple practices that Lissa suggests at the end of each chapter are portals to your own inner guidance. Gentle, hopeful, and clear...this book is destined to become a classic.” —Joan Borysenko, PH.D., author of the New York Times bestselling book Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
