Book SynopsisIf you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met or dismissed-and you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment as a result. As an adult, you have fought hard to establish your own sense of self, and heal the invisible wounds caused by your upbringing. But what about other emotionally immature people (EIP) in your life? EIPs are often unpredictable, volatile, and difficult to handle. They tend to be me-first people, with little regard for others. They may not respect you as an individual-which can be isolating, hurtful, and lonely. As an adult child of an emotionally immature parent (ACEIP), you may be particularly vulnerable to EIPs. But you are not powerless! If you're tired of being emotionally hijacked by EIPs, this handbook can help you avoid common traps, build confidence, and stand strong in yourself. In this must-have guide, author Lindsay Gibson provides everyday solutions to help you manage relationships with any emotionally immature person. You'll find practical insights and explorations into the most common challenges ACEIPs face, and practical guidance to help set boundaries and establish healthier relationships. You'll also learn to handle difficult interactions with EIPs, understand their responses, and transform your relationships to build a happier life. It's time to disentangle from EIPs! As an ACEIP, you have spent a lifetime compensating for others' behaviour and putting your needs last. With this handbook, you'll find the information you need to understand how EIPs function, shift your own perspective regarding these relationships, and stand up for yourself without guilt, shame, or fear

Book SynopsisNow in paperback - New York Times bestselling author, Anthony William, reveals an entirely new take on the epidemic of thyroid illness and explains how to rescue the thyroid and achieve amazing health and vitality.More and more people are hearing that their thyroids are to blame for their fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, memory issues, aches and pains, tingles and numbness, insomnia, hair loss, hot flashes, sensitivity to cold, constipation, bloating, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, loss of libido, restless legs and more. As the thyroid has received more and more attention, though, these symptoms haven''t gone away - because a thyroid problem is not the ultimate reason for a person''s illness. A problematic thyroid is yet one more symptom of something much more pervasive in the body that''s responsible for the laundry list of symptoms and conditions attributed to thyroid disease.

For anybody frustrated by the current limits of Western medicine, this is definitely worth your time and consideration."— James Van Der Beek, creator, executive producer, and star of What Would Diplo Do? and star of Dawson’s Creek, and Kimberly Van Der Beek, public speaker and activist"Since reading Medical Medium Thyroid Healing, I have expanded my approach and treatments of thyroid disease and am seeing enormous value for patients. The results are rewarding and gratifying."— from the foreword by Prudence Hall, M.D., founder and medical director of The Hall Center, author of Radiant Again & Forever"Anthony is not only a warm, compassionate healer, he is also authentic and accurate, with God-given skills.

He has devoted his life to supporting people on their healing path."— Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Judgment Detox and The Universe Has Your Back"My recovery from a traumatic spinal crisis several years ago had been steady, but I was still experiencing muscle weakness, a tapped-out nervous system, as well as extra weight. A dear friend called me one evening and strongly recommended I read the book Medical Medium by Anthony William. So much of the information in the book resonated with me that I began incorporating some of the ideas, then I sought and was lucky enough to get a consultation. The reading was so spot-on, it has taken my healing to an unimagined, deeper, and richer level of health. My weight has dropped healthily, I can enjoy bike-riding and yoga, I’m back in the gym, I have steady energy, and I sleep deeply.

She had been to countless doctors and healers and had gone through multiple protocols. Nothing worked. Until Anthony talked to her that is . . . from there, the results were astounding. I highly recommend his books, lectures, and consultations. Don’t miss this healing opportunity!"— Nick Ortner, New York Times best-selling author of The Tapping Solution for Manifesting Your Greatest Self and The Tapping Solution"Twelve hours after receiving a heaping dose of self-confidence masterfully administered by Anthony, the persistent ringing in my ears of the last year . . . began to falter.

This kind, sweet, hilarious, self-effacing, and generous man—also so ‘otherworldly’ and so extraordinarily gifted, with an ability that defies how we see the world—has shocked even me, a medium! He is truly our modern-day Edgar Cayce, and we are immensely blessed that he is with us. Anthony William proves that we are more than we know."— Colette Baron-Reid, best-selling author of Uncharted and TV host of Messages from Spirit"Any quantum physicist will tell you there are things at play in the universe we can’t yet under- stand. I truly believe Anthony has a handle on them. He has an amazing gift for intuitively tap- ping into the most effective methods for healing."— Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of The Kids’ Family Tree Book, Cruel Beautiful World, Is This Tomorrow, and Pictures of You"He was the answer to my desperate prayer."The moment arrived when I had given up knowing what was next. Holding my head heavy in my hands, sobbing uncontrollably at the kitchen table, not knowing which way to turn, I realized I had finally hit a wall. Through the streaming tears and heaving sobs, I whispered what I vowed never to do: ‘I give up.’ I have nothing left in knowing what is next, I pleaded to the darkness. I prayed for answers."Calvin’s stomach pain had never ceased after a simple upper respiratory cold and stomach upset in January, during his favorite time of year: snowboarding season. Since then, it had been five months of consistent doctor visits, herbs and supplements, acupuncture and energetic healing work, hypnotherapy and homeopathy, psychology, medical tests and procedures, paperwork and phone calls, lab tests and consultations, medicine and vitamins, more tests, and numerous ER visits in snowstorms—all leading to a dead end and no hope in sight, with my son’s condition only slowly worsening over time."I had lost faith. I had lost faith in the medical system, in the human ability to be able to help, to have any answers. I was exhausted physically and emotionally, broken down by the relentlessness of my son’s undiagnosable stomach pain and no hope for healing. I had tried everything I could possibly imagine and more."At this point, I was told that it was all in his head and to try the ‘psychiatric route,’ as they believed there was no physical reason for his condition. I had exhausted every possibility over the months of exploration with many, many practitioners across the spectrum and even revisited some of them to ask, ‘Are you sure we have ruled out everything? Are you sure we have not missed something?’"I refused to give up."Although his unexplained stomach pain did not fit in any clear diagnosable box, and only continued to worsen, it was clear everyone else was done with him, as their bedside manners became unsupportive."Leaving a medical office one day, pushing my son in a wheelchair (because it was now too painful and tiring for him to walk much) down the long corridor of the medical center from which we had spent many, many hours over many months, my ten-year-old son looked up at me and said, ‘They aren’t on our side, Mom.’"Through the tears I nodded and said, ‘Don’t you worry, Buddy. I am ALWAYS on your side. I have not given up, and I will not give up. I am not done.’ I tried to hide the uneasiness and the look of ‘Now what?’"Not long after, I found myself at that kitchen table in despair, praying in the dark. My child was suffering every single day, moaning in pain every single day, and I was helpless, not able to do anything to help ease his suffering, despite the months of determined and persistent efforts. No one understood, no one had the answers, and as much as I knew that it was painful for others to witness, which many friends told me, it was more painful to live in the grueling experiences of a sick child in agonizing pain every day, only to have his condition worsen to being bedridden, with clouded mental faculties that prevented him from reading and doing math work or any work that required mental focus."Then, the answer to my prayer arrived through a text from my mother explaining she had found someone who I should check out named Anthony William. I looked him up on his website and I felt chills enter my body, chills of hope as I read through his website. I sent an email explaining my plight. Anthony William knew what was ailing my son within the first three minutes of our phone conversation, explaining that Calvin had a mutated shingles virus inflaming his vagus nerve. This explained the nerve pain and the lack of physical evidence in any blood work or other existing diagnostic tools. It also explained the reason behind the mental/brain struggle in Calvin’s reading and schoolwork."Anthony reassured me that this was a physical cause for his ‘mystery illness’ and was NOT psychological. Tears ran down my face—my gut instinct finally being acknowledged as true. He was the ONLY person who had ever been able to pinpoint so confidently, quickly, and accurately a direction for healing."Anthony proceeded to flood me with information that would aid in my son’s healing, which I vigorously wrote down. He was deeply caring and reassuring. He was available to me when I needed him for follow-up calls (even in the middle of the night), emotional support, and as my cheerleader to keep me going as Calvin recovered. Anthony understood the intense stress placed on our whole family as we endured the intensity of his painful illness for so long without any progress. He never failed in his delivery to be supportive and compassionate."Over the course of the next two months, staying true to the protocol, my son healed. He was back to being himself, an active, engaged, happy, pain-free ten-year-old boy. Five years later, my son continues to thrive without any setbacks in his health. I am forever grateful for Anthony for saving my son’s life, for restoring my faith in the human ability to be of help, and for supporting faith in my own inner wisdom when it comes to my gut instinct as a mother."It is clear how deeply committed Anthony is to his work in serving others in order that they may have the possibility to lead healthy, vibrant lives. He truly is a gift to the world."— Kristin Cassidy"In 2015, my previously healthy five-year-old daughter started to develop neurological issues such as wobbly legs, frequent falls, an inability to walk when going from sitting to standing, general weakness, and decreased strength. She was at the point of thirty leg episodes a day, and it was worsening week by week. We went to different specialists at one of the best children’s hospitals—no answers, other than a neurologist’s label of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. Being a nurse for ten years and my medical community not providing me answers about why my daughter was getting worse was a hard pill to swallow. It hit home too hard."At first, I was too scared to contact Anthony William about my daughter, because we hadn’t yet ruled out a brain/spine tumor, and I was so scared to hear the truth. But after some time, I got an appointment with Anthony, and he explained everything—that my daughter had a specific virus that he knew about in her brain. In that moment, I felt like I became a different person. Hearing the truth from Anthony William and having a protocol to follow literally changed me forever! I got hope! With my daughter on the protocol, my family and I started to see improvements in her. She stopped falling, was getting stronger, and her leg episodes were fewer and fewer! Now, a year later, she is the strongest she has ever been and can physically function like any six-year-old. I believe angels from above led me to Anthony William just when I needed him the most. Forever grateful!"— Justyna Siek"Anthony William changed by son’s life for the better in 2007. My son was lethargic, pale, and struggled with a chronic asthmatic cough. He had a lack of appetite and did not have energy to participate in much activity. After visiting multiple doctors in several different states without any answers except ‘asthma’ and medications to treat the asthmatic symptoms, I was fortunate enough to have a session with Anthony William where he gave me specific information about the source of my son’s problems as well as holistic ways in which to repair them. Nine years later, my son is a high-level athlete who is thriving in all areas of his life. It is hard to express the gratitude I feel toward Anthony William for his invaluable insight that directly led to my son’s amazing recovery into the teenager I always hoped he could be—active, healthy, happy, and enjoying life with a smile on his face and boundless energy!"— Eva Thompson

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Mike Jay is an eminent writer on mind-stilling and mind-expanding substances [. . .] Mescaline reads like the culmination of a lifetime’s wanderings in the very farthest out-posts of scientific and medical history”— Ian Sansom, The Guardian“Mike Jay’s history of mescaline use is a bit of a mind-altering experience itself”—The Economist“Thoroughly researched book is strong on drug's social significance” —Katherine Waters, The Art Desk“Jay, as with his many other works, expertly places the important details in these larger trends, and the result is a wonderfully engaging narrative; informative and entertaining” —Robert Dickins, Psychedelic Press “What Mike Jay's history of mescaline illustrates is that although we may not grasp how, the context of a trip determines its destination” — Kate Womersley, TLS “Jay takes his readers on a journey through history, beginning with the medicinal and ceremonial use of mescaline-containing plants by the indigenous peoples of Mexico thousands of years ago, and the adoption of peyote by some Native American peoples” — Zoe Hackett, Chemistry World“Mike Jay has written a highly detailed but very readable and fascinating history of the use of mescaline throughout the ages”—Peter Carpenter, British Society for the History of Medicine"This is a terrific account of mescaline, the first psychedelic.

In Mescaline an incredible amount of scholarly and personal research is beautifully presented and ordered in a sensible chronology that really works to channel potentially disruptive and mad matter into a fascinating cultural history.

Book Synopsis Your Body, Your Yoga goes beyond any prior yoga anatomy book available. It looks not only at the body’s unique anatomical structures and what this means to everyone’s individual range of motion, but also examines the physiological sources of restrictions to movement. Two volumes are provided in this book: Volume 1 raises a new mantra to be used in every yoga posture: What Stops Me? The answers presented run through a spectrum, beginning with a variety of tensile resistance to three kinds of compressive resistance. Examined is the nature of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, bones and our extracellular matrix and their contribution to mobility. The shape of these structures also defines our individual, ultimate range of movement, which means that not every body can do every yoga posture. The reader will discover where his or her limits lie, which dictates which alignment cues will work best, and which ones should be abandoned. Volume 2 will take these principles and apply them to the lower body, examining the hip joint, the knee, ankle and foot, and will present how your unique variations in these joints will show up in your yoga practice. Trade ReviewCompulsory reading for those teaching and studying yoga! The best therapeutic exercise has a defined technique and dosage, but these are different for every person. Bernie Clark masterfully guides readers through an understanding of their unique bodies. Nothing else compares to the value and knowledge gained. With this, readers can create the most rigorous, evidence-based and effective yoga practice, finding what works best for them.--Professor Stuart McGill, PhD, University of Waterloo; Canada. You will not need another book on the mechanics of yoga. Bernie has written many wonderful books on yoga, but the one in your hands is his opus. I will be recommending this one to everyone!--Sarah Powers, co-founder of Insight Yoga Institute and author of Insight Yoga; U.S.A. Finally, a book that dares to combine yoga with state-of-the art critical thinking and scientific reflection! To my knowledge, the most accurate and anatomically-knowledgeable book in this field. I knew that Bernie Clark would contribute something remarkable. But this book goes way beyond even the highest expectations. A truly groundbreaking contribution to the field of science-inspired yoga.--Professor Robert Schleip, PhD, Ulm University; Germany. Your Body, Your Yoga is a fascinating, provocative, and scientifically-informed look at the inner workings of the body as it affects the practice of asana. Bernie Clark challenges much dogma in the modern postural yoga world, including a few heretofore sacrosanct principles of alignment, to demonstrate that a healthy and effective yoga practice should be adapted to each individual's unique needs, abilities and anatomy. Required reading for yoga teachers and yoga therapists, and highly recommended for avid practitioners.--Timothy McCall, MD, author of Yoga As Medicine; U.S.A. An exceptionally well-informed and interesting way of approaching the human enterprise of doing yoga. Full of beautiful and stimulating pictures and analogies, awakening a deep thirst to know more and think more yet.--Loren M. Fishman, MD, B. Phil.(oxon.), author of Healing Yoga and many other books; U.S.A. If you want to buy only one book on yoga and anatomy, buy this one. It fills a gap that urgently needed filling, and makes our work as yoga teachers and educators immensely easier. This will be a textbook for our future yoga teacher trainings.--Anat Geiger, co-owner of YogaGarden; Netherlands. This book will revolutionize the practicing and teaching of yoga. It is going to be the next yoga bible! It is an incredible treasure, and it will help everybody to truly understand the essence of physical yoga practice. --Stefanie Arend, author of Yin Yoga, Detox Yoga, and Fascia Massage; Germany Your Body, Your Yoga is an essential book for all serious yoga practitioners. Through skillful marshaling of evidence, Bernie Clark decisively illustrates the importance of individuality in yoga practice.--Norman Blair, Yoga teacher, author and trainer; United Kingdom. A must-read for yoga teachers and practitioners. This book will reframe the way you think about body movements. --Jo Phee, senior yoga teacher trainer; Singapore. I am so amazed: Your Body, Your Yoga is more than a great book--it is like participating in a training at home. I could not stop myself from finishing it.--Devrim Akkaya, senior yoga teacher trainer; Turkey. This is an instant classic. Your Body, Your Yoga demystifies and reveals the limitations in one's yoga practice in a very clear and in-depth manner.--Sebastian & Murielle, senior yoga teacher trainers; Indonesia. Teachers will benefit greatly from understanding all that this book has to offer, and advancing students will enjoy and benefit all the more because of it. Bernie Clark's book is a terrific contribution to the field of yoga, which until recently has been overly "posture-centric." Bernie gives a readable, clear account of individual differences--how to recognize them, their consequences for asana practice, and how to sense when you are going too far. There is a wealth of information on the deeper mechanics of muscles and fascia, and an extensive treatment of the specifics of the joints.--Doug Keller, author of Yoga As Therapy and associate professor in the Maryland University of Integrative Health Master's Degree Program in Yoga Therapy; USA This is a brilliant book. It is an absolutely essential research resource for anyone who teaches, hopes to teach, or wants to practice the asana component of yoga in a safe, therapeutic, and effective way. Bernie Clark's thesis that we are not all the same and therefore there are no universal alignment principles that work for everyone is a huge contribution to today's yoga literature. I couldn't agree more. It is hard to believe that anyone would say this about a book on anatomy, physiology and human movement, but once I started reading, I was so excited I couldn't put it down! --Beryl Bender Birch, author of 4 books on yoga and the founder/director of The Hard & The Soft Yoga Institute and The Give Back Yoga Foundation; USATable of ContentsAcknowledgements How to Read this Book Foreword: The History of Teaching Alignment in America Table of Contents for Volume 1: What Stops Me?

Book SynopsisThe Book of Lymph will give you quick, easy and therapeutic lymph-optimisation strategies, using the simple healing magic of your own touch.The lymphatic system is the body's first line of defence against illness and is responsible for ridding the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. When it's not functioning well, it's easy to see and feel the bloat, puffiness and general malaise it causes. Lisa Levitt Gainsley combines her 25 years of experience as a lymph specialist with scientific know-how to show us how lymphatic treatment is the missing link to our most common health woes. She shows us how lymphatic drainage can provide us with pain relief, inflammation reduction, weight loss, brighter skin and generally better health. From three-to-five-minute massage sequences to backed-up research into the effectiveness of lymphatic drainage, The Book of Lymph will put you on the path to taking control of how you feel, reducing bloating and puffiness independently. The first book of its kind, The Book of Lymph will help you to live a pain-free life.'Well-functioning lymphatic drainage is the key to great, clear, glowing skin.' - Vogue 'I am so grateful Lisa is sharing her wisdom and techniques with us. Truly a life-changing and enhancing method.' - Selma Blair, Actress'Lisa's lymphatic self-massage techniques have changed my life and my body dramatically - specifically by reducing chronic pain symptoms and helping to balance out my hormones.' - Jessica Zanotti'I am beyond thrilled for the world to get a dose of Lisa's kind and gentle, but powerful and life-changing knowledge and be equipped to try some of it out on their own bodies.' - Freida Pinto, ActressTrade ReviewLymphatic drainage massage is the key to getting toned and taut in a flash. And now the beauty trend is taking off in Hollywood. * The Hollywood Reporter *Studying the lymphatic system will lead to a cure for Alzheimer's, infectious disease, gastro-intestinal disorders, and more. * Directors of the National Institute of Health’s Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Disease *I am so grateful Lisa is sharing her wisdom and techniques with us. Truly a life-changing and enhancing method. * Selma Blair, Actress *Once you have experienced Lisa Gainsley's healing hands it will be hard to not want to experience that for a lifetime. Lisa's deep knowledge about the body's essential detoxification pathway and immune system booster, the often ignored Lymphatic system, has been a big game changer in my life. And the best part is, I see the results of her massage treatments immediately. And now with this detailed book, I am beyond thrilled for the world to get a dose of Lisa's kind and gentle but powerful and life changing knowledge and be equipped to try some of it out on their own bodies. * Freida Pinto, Actress *Lisa was my yoga instructor and she was damned good-and she had to be, because yoga is not for the squeamish, and you can't get any more squeamish than me. She was completely invested in my progress and was delighted when she saw improvement. She had a great sense of humor (well, she laughed at my jokes). She was considerate. She didn't talk too much. She didn't talk too little. She was completely knowledgeable about muscles and joints and a lot of scientific stuff about the body that I never paid attention to when they taught it in school. In fact, I liked her and trusted her so much, I even gave her the entry code to my house. Other than my immediate family and my housekeeper, no one has that code. My daughter would scream at me, "Dad, you can't give out our house code to anyone!" I said to her, "You don't understand, honey, this is Lisa." This book of hers is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to improving people's lives. I was fortunate enough to be one of those people. * Larry David, Actor and Producer *In the last few years I have been drawn as part of my healing and self-care to learn more about my body and with that came a deeper understanding of my lymphatic system. It's such an integral part of our bodies yet no one really tells you about it and how it works. Through my discoveries I was fortunate enough to meet Lisa who changed everything for me and taught me most of what I know about my lymph and how important it is to staying healthy, removing toxins, and looking and feeling good. She is truly an expert in this field and has a very gentle and holistic approach. Through seeing Lisa for treatments she taught me hands-on techniques I could do myself on a daily basis, which for me has been a game changer in the way I feel but also just in the way I connect to my body. * Jenni Kayne, Entrepreneur, Jenni Kayne Lifestyle *Lymphatic massage is an incredibly therapeutic technique for optimizing a person's health, improving his or her immune system, and decreasing inflammation. I find that lymphatic massage is not celebrated enough in the western medical world in regards to preventive health and of course treating states of disease and imbalance. Lisa Levitt Gainsley is a gifted, trusted, and passionate certified lymphedema specialist. Her book is an invaluable resource-we would all benefit from her wisdom and experience. I, for one, know that I would be very excited to share this book with my patients and colleagues! * Rachel Frankenthal, PA-C, MPH, Gynecologic Oncology at David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA *Lisa Levitt Gainsley is an expert in the field of Lymphatic Therapy. Lisa has been helping people thrive after cancer treatment for over 20 years. The facts of how lymph controls health is knowledge known by the medical community that Lisa makes accessible in her book. Her expertise in teaching people how to maintain a properly functioning lymph system is invaluable. Lisa's method of lymphatic self-massage is one of the most impactful and easy tools in a person's health arsenal. Her book is an essential guide to boost immunity that I recommend to anyone whether they are facing an illness or looking for concrete ways to enjoy vibrant health. * Gottfried E. Konecny M.D., Professor of Medicine, Medical Oncology, UCLA *

Book SynopsisDiscover the healing applications of a wide variety of medicinal plants with this first comprehensive herbal repertory from an internationally known herbalist   Expert herbalist Matthew Wood takes the guesswork out of the application of medicinal plants. Here, he provides an invaluable cross-reference of constitutional types, energetic categories, and specific systems—so herbalists can more easily identify the right remedies for a specific condition. Unlike many reference books in which medicinal plants are defined simply by condition or disease name, this book offers tools for differentiating between remedies and analyzing each case in a holistic fashion. While this system of cross-referencing is well known to homeopaths, it is less frequently used by herbalists.   The Earthwise Herbal Repertory seeks to bridge the gap between different healing systems, incorporating knowledge from ancient Greek and traditional Native American medicine, nineteenth-century botanical medicine, homeopathy, and modern biomedical research. This definitive repertory proves useful for homeopaths and herbalists, professionals and home practitioners alike.

This affects how well we function from this point onwards. The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process shows what stress, anxiety, and trauma do to our mental wellbeing and physical health. Despite the uffering we experience in life, Dr. Berceli argues that even the most damaging events can become a pathay to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. The magic of The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process is that it can be utilized by anyone, any place on the planet. The process can reestablish a person's equilibrium, stabilize their life, and turn them to an emotionally healthy place.
