Granta Publications Ltd Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals about
Book SynopsisOver 400 million people around the world have been diagnosed with diabetes. Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated through diet, from eating purely meat to the reliance on fats, and repeated fasting. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, including the occasional ice-cream, leaving the job of controlling the disease to insulin therapy. However, this guiding principle has been accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes over the last fifty years, and the expectation that sufferers' health will deteriorate steadily over time. In this ground-breaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes explores the history of the treatment of diabetes, elucidating the way that badly conceived research influences the guidance that doctors offer today, at the expense of patients' long-term well-being. Passionately argued and deeply researched, Rethinking Diabetes reimagines diabetes care with diet at its centre, and is hugely persuasive in its questioning of the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. SUGAR: The Silent Killer
Book SynopsisIndia has a ravenous appetite for the sweet stuff, way above any other country, if both traditional and modern sugars are counted. We also take excessive amounts of poor-quality carbohydrates, especially, refined cerealsike white rice and white wheat, sugar-sweetened drinks and fruit juice, sweet treats and savouries, which ultimately turn into glucose, a simple sugar the body uses for energy. And Indians today manifest an increased predilection for diseasesinked to sugar (and the fat with which sugar is inextricablyinked): obesity to diabetes, heart disease to hypertension, cancers to dementia, Covid-19 to black fungus. Despite aong association with sugar, there has been very few attempts to understand sugar''s hold in India. Books have been written mainly on the sugar industry, some on diabetes andow-sugar diets. Sugar: The Silent Killer attempts to fill theacunae. It attempts to demystify the way we eat now, the pre-eminence of refined sugar in our diet, what it does to us and what we can do to mitigate its malign influence. Weaving together history, culture and science, it seeks to analyse why we have such an intimate relation with sugar, why it holds on to us so doggedly, why we do can''t do without it, even when we know it can harm us.

Hammersmith Health Books Curing the Incurable: Beyond the Limits of
Book SynopsisThere is a steady stream of articles and books about 'miraculous' cures from the chronic illnesses that face us in the 21st century: autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, MS and Alzheimer's; and many cancers. But if all these individual cases are brought together and reviewed systematically, something much more practical and less miraculous emerges - a set of principles to guide us to better health and a greater chance of recovery. Dr Jerry Thompson draws on an immense range of case histories and research studies to show how what we eat, the toxic load we carry, the environmental electromagnetic fields we live in, and our beliefs and attitudes to health and illness can change the course of disease. The result is a practical guide to what we can learn from 'survivors' about how to improve our chances of good health and recovery.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Using food to cure; Food and health; Belief, expectation and purpose; How the mind heals; More on the mind; Toxicity and health; Releasing toxicity; Reducing toxicity; How energy can heal; Vital force, healing and electricity; Energy with us and around us; Putting it all together; Further reading

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with
Book SynopsisA guide to the basics of Biofield Tuning, using tuning forks to clear trauma stored in the human energy field • Provides a precise map of the energetic biofield that surrounds the body, showing where specific emotions, memories, traumas, and pain are stored • Details how to locate stored trauma in the biofield with a tuning fork and clear it • Winner of the 2015 Nautilus Silver AwardWhen Eileen McKusick began offering sound therapy in her massage practice she soon discovered she could use tuning forks to locate and hear disturbances in the energy field, or biofield, that surrounded each of her clients. Passing the tuning forks through these areas in the biofield not only corrected the distorted vibrational sounds she was hearing but also imparted consistent, predictable, and sometimes immediate relief from pain, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, depression, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, and a host of other complaints. Now, more than 20 years later, McKusick has fully developed her sound healing method, which she calls Biofield Tuning, and created a map of the biofield, revealing the precise locations where specific emotions, memories, ailments, and traumas are stored. In this book, McKusick explains the basics of Biofield Tuning practice and provides illustrations of her Biofield Anatomy Map. She details how to use tuning forks to find and clear pain and trauma stored in the biofield and reveals how the traditional principles and locations of the chakras correspond directly with her biofield discoveries. Exploring the science behind Biofield Tuning, she examines scientific research on the nature of sound and energy and explains how experiences of trauma produce “pathological oscillations” in the biofield, causing a breakdown of order, structure, and function in the body. Offering a revolutionary perspective on mind, energy, memory, and trauma, McKusick’s guide to Biofield Tuning provides new avenues of healing for energy workers, massage therapists, sound healers, and those looking to overcome chronic illness and release the traumas of their past.Trade Review“Modern science is fi nally recognizing that energy constitutes the blueprint of the physical body. Genes literally express themselves in di erent ways when exposed to specific kinds of sound. Tuning the Human Biofi eld is a groundbreaking introduction to the art and science of applying these principles. It will take you on an intellectually juicy ride.” * Donna Eden, author of Energy Medicine *“Tuning the Human Biofield is a superb introduction to the human energy field and its modification by sound vibrations. McKusick’s book is a highly valuable resource for patients and practitioners alike.” * Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., author of The Living Energy Universe and The Energy Healing Experiments *“This book takes the reader by the hand on a quick tour through the ‘wonderland’ of quantum theory, vibrational therapies, the electric universe, biofield science, and other frontier science topics. Autobiographical bits and pieces make for enjoyable and easy reading. . . . a promising modality to reduce stress and improve energy flow toward greater wellness.” * Beverly Rubik, Ph.D., professor at Energy Medicine University and president/founder of the Institute *“This book integrates core universal truths with scientific principles to capture the essence of sound healing. As a pioneer in the field of sound healing, the author combines her knowledge, expertise, curiosity, and unique personal experience into an easy-to-learn method that can offer powerful changes for the reader.” * Melissa Joy Jonsson, president/instructor at Matrix Energetics International and author of M-Joy Pra *“The time has come for detailed explorations by skilled, sensitive, and intuitive individuals who are willing to venture into the unknown, to go beyond the mainstream and report on the discoveries they make. Eileen McKusick has all of the tools such an explorer requires, including a skeptical and scientific grounding. Enjoy this feast of new knowledge--it is guaranteed to stick to your ribs!” * James L. Oschman, Ph.D., author of Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis *“An excellent explanation of how the tuning forks can influence the subtle fields for healing. Thought-provoking and detailed in explanation, this book is also an excellent reference guide to using the tuning forks in a treatment mode for the various chakra energy centers. A must-read for anyone thinking of using tuning forks as a healing tool.” * Jeffrey Thompson, D.C., Center for Neuroacoustic Research *“Eileen Day McKusick has meticulously gathered biofield research that supports the efficacy of Biofield Tuning. Tuning the Human Biofield is comprehensive yet easy to read. With this, sound-on-body becomes understandable and practical for health-care professionals and individual self-healing.” * Joshua Leeds, author of The Power of Sound and Through a Dog’s Ear *“Tuning the Human Biofield is a profoundly insightful and inspiring work as well as a tremendous leap forward for the healing sciences. If I were designing an alternative medicine curriculum, this text would be required reading. In what is arguably the most comprehensive book ever written on tuning fork therapy, Eileen Day McKusick not only shows us the door to healing ourselves and unlocking our potential as energetic beings, she also takes us by the hand and, brilliantly and eloquently, escorts us into new realms of possibility.” * Sol Luckman, author of Conscious Healing and Potentiate Your DNA *“McKusick’s audacity and confidence coupled with her serious, in-depth research and humility puts her at the forefront of cutting-edge science and healing. This book explains and enlivens our understanding of interconnectivity and consciousness and helps us deeply understand how we humans function, and how we can function better.” * Lauren Walker, author of Energy Medicine Yoga *Table of ContentsPREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Biofield Tuning RefinedForeword By Karl H.

Skyhorse Publishing Nutrient Power: Heal Your Biochemistry and Heal
Book SynopsisThis guide will show families, patients, and doctors how to change their behavior and improve their health through new skills that will last when psychiatric drugs are no longer used.Over the past 50 years, psychiatry has made some significantly large strides, but it needs a new direction. The current emphasis on psychiatric drugs works for now, but it is a temporary solution. Studies involving nurses, nursing, interventions and clinical work have led to a new type of treatment.Recent advances in the molecular biology of the brain and epigenetics have illuminated a new plan. The result? A treatment path for the creation of natural, drug-free, and effective therapies that do not produce severe side effects. Chapters include: Brain Chemistry 101 Epigenetics and mental health Schizophrenia Depression Autism Behavioral disorders and ADHD Alzheimer’s Disease And more! The need-based treatments outlined in Dr. William J. Walsh’s Nutrient Power show a research-based nutrient therapy system that can help people with a variety of mental disorders. The guide explains that nutrient imbalance can cause mental disorders by disrupting gene expression of proteins and enzymes, crippling the body’s protection against environmental toxins, and changing brain levels of key neurotransmitters. Walsh’s database has connected nutrient imbalances in patients diagnosed with a variety of disorders found in the DSM.Trade ReviewPraise for William J.

Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Intelligent Fitness: The Smart Way to Reboot Your
Book Synopsis‘Without Simon Waterson’s help and guidance, I literally wouldn’t have made it through fifteen years of playing James Bond ... It’s been an honour working with him.’ Daniel Craig_________________________‘Working with Simon is the nearest you get to actually being a superhero, in the sense you are at your absolute peak of physical health. That makes you feel incredibly robust in these challenging times.’ Benedict Cumberbatch_________________________Drawing on his vast experience as the elite trainer who transformed Daniel Craig’s physique for five James Bond films, along with countless other actors for blockbuster roles, Simon Waterson reveals how to enhance your energy, sleep and confidence with his intelligent approach to fitness.A former marine, and now the film industry’s most in-demand fitness trainer, Simon Waterson’s client list reads like a who’s who of A-list actors. He has transformed Daniel Craig into the formidable James Bond for five blockbuster films, shaped Chris Evans into superhero Captain America, trained Chris Pratt for Guardians of the Galaxy and prepared actors such as Thandiwe Newton and John Boyega for the most recent Star Wars films. During a time where people are understanding fitness and nutrition in a completely new way – eschewing quick fixes and yo-yo diets in favour of long term solutions – Simon shares his practical and highly accessible approach to reimagining your body and transforming your fitness. Simon encourages you to focus on training, recovery and nutrition to build on your performance, rather than aesthetic. This is a training manual for any age and any fitness level, packed with expert advice and achievable goals that will motivate you to reboot your body.Trade ReviewHe’s the kind of trainer that is a true partner, one who not only sets the appointment and counts the reps, but does the workout with you, motivating and challenging you, and engaging in the kind of conversations that leave you laughing and chatting for an hour after your session. -- Chris PrattSimon has a very strong philosophy, that aesthetic is a by-product of performance. This always made sense to me ... All the information he gives you is easy to understand and sustainable and it allowed me to reach my goals and each time surpass them. He gave me the confidence physically to carry off these roles. He’s also a great human and I love working with him. -- Luke EvansSimon is extremely rigorous and diligent: always prepared and punctual. He is unfailingly respectful, careful and kind. He knows when to work hard: he knows when to push a little further; to encourage you out of your comfort zone. He taught me so much. -- Tom HiddlestonSimon, working with you has always been a great pleasure. Not only are you the best trainer but you are also the funniest. You always make me laugh so much and, for the abs, there is nothing better! -- Léa SeydouxIf you had told me I’d be in the best shape of my life at forty-one, I would have said you were crazy. Simon was able to achieve that by not only changing my workout regimen, but by changing my entire mental approach to the whole process. From diet and cardio to heavy lifts and recovery treatments, Simon takes great care to push your body in incremental steps rather than vicious shifts in weight or appearance. -- John KrasinskiResults come not just from working hard, but from working smart. With Simon’s help, I’ve been able to sustain the highest level of health and fitness through several action movie franchises without injury or misery. I am one of countless others within the entertainment industry who trust him completely. It’s thrilling that Simon’s proven strategies will now be available to all. -- Bryce Dallas Howard
