Archive Publishing Her Blood Is Gold: Awakening to the Wisdom of
Book SynopsisIn the past few years there have been some gradual but perceptible changes in our collective attitude to menstruation, perhaps shown most obviously in television commercials and magazine advertising, which are less coy and more realistic and explicit in their portrayal of the menstruating woman. People seem less affronted by the subject matter than they were when the research for this book began. They are more willing to examine the possibility that in Western materialist culture our commonly held notions about the menstrual cycle have been infected by centuries of misogyny. The taboo about discussing menstruation still exists, but it appears to be gradually dissolving, along with other prejudices about the body and sexuality and gender. I hope that these subtle changes in attitudes to menstruation presage a greater shift in how we collectively value, affirm, and accept female experience. The relationship between menstruation and power is still held very much under the surface of mainstream awareness, and most cultural references to menstruation continue to be couched in the terminology of pathology. Reintegrating a truly feminist, woman-honoring perspective on menstruation means turning a whole system of thought upside down. It means saying that a cyclical change in feelings and body sensations is valuable and interesting; it means saying that the emotions women experience premenstrually carry useful information and should be paid attention to; it means acknowledging that a menstruating woman has access to sacred energy, and that if she wishes, she should have space and time to explore this dimension of experience. The ramifications of such a shift would be truly radical. For many reasons, including ecological and cultural survival, I believe the system of thought which has caused women to adapt to a non-cyclical reality needs to be turned upside down, for the good of us all. We menstruate more now than at any time in human history. Girls are starting to menstruate earlier due to protein-rich diets and hormones in food; women are less likely to die young; we have fewer children and therefore spend less time not menstruating. Increased work and family stresses, in addition to more periods, mean that women are more physically and psychologically vulnerable to negative attitudes to menstruation. So it is more important than ever that we investigate ways to make our periods physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.Trade Review“I want to tell you how much your book on menstruation has meant to me… If I’d had it when I was thirty it would have saved me a lot of pain and confusion”. ; Scilla Elworthy, author of Power and Sex: A Book about Women. ; “Lara Owen’s well-researched, beautifully crafted and elegant book offers the reader a profound perspective on the role of menstruation in the life of women and society. It explores the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical dimensions of menstruation and provides a new and powerful view on this still taboo topic. Owen’s book is a classic and a must read for every woman and every man who wishes to understand this powerful part of feminine life. Her book changes lives. You will never look at menstruation in the same way again. Everyone should read this innovative, thoughtful and powerful book. A major contribution”. ; Gemma Summers, PhD, author of How to Get What You Want Without Losing It: A Woman’s Guide to Resolving Conflict. ; “Lara Owen presents a viewpoint on menstruation which is startling in its reversal of conventional attitudes. Her presentation is so lucid and convincing that after reading it one wonders how one could ever have regarded menstruation as a problem. This book is a must for any woman seeking wholeness. This is the rare kind of book that creates culture rather than merely commenting upon it. Lara Owen has sketched the outlines of a new social norm”. ; Steven Bratman M.D., author of The Alternative Medicine Sourcebook. ; “Like the wise-women whose memory she celebrates, Lara Owen is both scientist and poet. In this wonderful book, she shows how “the curse”, when ritually respected and restored to its ancient position, becomes every woman’s crock of gold”. ; Chris Knight, Professor of Anthropology, author of Blood Relations: Menstruation and the Origins of Culture. ; “This fascinating exploration into the rich underworld of the female body is a well-written, passionate and thoughtful plea for a return to body-consciousness and acceptance of what it is to be female”. ; Lyn Webster Wilde, author of On the Trail of the Women Warriors. ; “A gift for any women who is ready to increase her health and power.” ; Jean Mountaingrove, in Sagewoman ; “Her Blood is Gold is a seminal, thoughtful and enlightening book that explores this most deeply female experience and why it needs attention, gentle consideration and curiosity. Thank you to Lara Owen for her deep contemplation, her scholarship and her vision”. ; Jane Bennett, author of A Blessing Not A Curse: A mother daughter guide to the transition from girl to woman. ; “I felt like I was walking around on air for days after reading Her Blood Is Gold. It was like a veil had been lifted. Your sharp analysis of the cultural construction of our attitudes towards menstruation really opened my eyes to alternative possibilities and more attuned ways of relating to my body.” ; Laura Robson, The Body Literacy Collective, London ; “It’s been called everything from a “curse” to a “visiting aunt”, but Lara Owen says a woman’s period is a time when she can tap into her own inner wisdom. The book is written from a personal perspective and supported with medical, historical, political, cultural and spiritual viewpoints as well as interviews and anecdotes from women who have “awoken to the power of their own periods”. ; Chicago Tribune ; “An eye-opening examination of our historical and cultural attitudes. Owen helps women recognize the power of their periods, make the most of the pre-menstrual ‘altered state and heal the wounds inflicted by a patriarchal culture”. ; Moving Words ; “Menstruation has long been considered women’s dirty little secret, discussed only when missed…. Lara Owen explores the mysteries and spiritual significance of menstruation”. ; Elle magazine ; “Lara Owen’s book seeks to restore to this vital, natural function the dignity it lost in a patriarchal world that has portrayed it as dirty and threatening.” ; Gannett Suburban Newspapers ; “I highly recommend this book for Lara Owen’s ability to help us look with fresh eyes at a common feature of our lives”. ; Whole Earth Review ; “Owen does a real service here by bringing this issue out of the closet in the way she does. Graceful and very readable. I can’t recommend this book enough. Read it and then pass it on to your sister, your mother, your best friend”. ; Colleen Devlin, womenwriters.about.com ; “This is an extraordinary book that is difficult to put down”. ; Network for Optimal Aging and Wellness ;Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface to the 1998 edition Introduction PART ONE: BELIEFS & ATTITUDES 1: A Brief History of Bleeding: Menstruation in Western Culture 2: Moon, Blood, Earth & Snake: Eternal Archetypes of Menstruation 3: Sacred Power: The Beliefs of Menstrual-Positive Cultures PART TWO: RECLAIMING THE CYCLE 4: Healing the Wounded Woman 5: Menstrual Power and Menstrual Symptoms 6: The Sabbath of Women: Spirituality and Menstruation PART THREE: RITUALS & RECOMMENDATIONS 7: Conscious Menstruation: First Steps 8: Going Deeper: Rituals, Practices, and Meditations 9: Natural Remedies for Menstrual Symptoms PART FOUR: WAKING UP TO THE POWER – The Stories of Three Women 10: The Scientist – Wendy Alter 11: The Educator – Tamara Slayton 12: The Priestess – Hallie Iglehart Austen PART FIVE: LIVING YOUR POWER 13: Menstruation: Relationships to the Family 14: Bleeding with the World Notes Selected Bibliography

Pan Macmillan Crying in H Mart: The Number One New York Times
Book Synopsis‘A beautiful, intimate and hunger-inducing portrait of grief, race, heritage and coming to know yourself through what you eat.’ - Stylist, ‘Books of the Year’'As good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't' – Marie ClaireThe New York Times bestseller from the Grammy-nominated indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity in the wake of her loss.In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the east coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, performing gigs with her fledgling band – and meeting the man who would become her husband – her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live.It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.Vivacious, lyrical and honest, Michelle Zauner’s voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.‘Possibly the best book I’ve read all year . . . I will be buying copies for friends and family this Christmas.’ – Rukmini Iyer, The Guardian ‘Best Food Books of 2021’‘Wonderful . . . The writing about Korean food is gorgeous . . . but as a brilliant kimchi-related metaphor shows, Zauner’s deepest concern is the ferment, and delicacy, of complicated lives.’ – Victoria Segal, The Sunday Times, ‘My favourite read of the year’Trade ReviewMichelle Zauner's Crying In H Mart is as good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't. * Marie Claire *The best book I’ve read in the past year . . . frank, lyrical, humorous. -- Claudia Roden * Financial Times *The book’s descriptions of jjigae, tteokbokki, and other Korean delicacies stand out as tokens of the deep, all-encompassing love between Zauner and her mother, a love that is charted in vivid descriptions of her mother after death; in a time when people around the world are reckoning with untold loss due to COVID-19, Zauner’s frankness around death feels like an unexpected yet deeply necessary gift. * Vogue US *A beautiful, honest and stylish account of grief, food and heritage. The way Zauner writes about food and how it acts as a bridge between her and her mother, her culture, her sense of self, is brilliantly written. -- Nikesh Shukla, author of Brown BabyCrying in H Mart stunned me - with its truthfulness and the force of its yearning. Beautiful, intimate, powerful, it is an unforgettable portrayal of grief and the bond between mother and daughter. -- Catherine Cho, author of InfernoA gripping, sensuous portrait of an indelible mother-daughter bond that hits all the notes: love, friction, loyalty, grief. All mothers and daughters will recognize themselves – and each other – in these pages. -- Dani Shapiro, author of InheritanceZauner brings dish after dish to life on the page in a rich broth of delectable details, cultural context and the personal history often packed into every bite. . . [Crying in H Mart] will ultimately thrill Japanese Breakfast fans and provide comfort to those in the throes of loss while brilliantly detailing the colorful panorama of Korean culture, traditions and — yes — food' * San Francisco Chronicle *Crying in H Mart is a warm and wholehearted work of literature, an honest and detailed account of grief over time, studded with moments of hope, humor, beauty, and clear-eyed observation. It is not to be missed. * Seattle Times *Crying in H Mart is palpable in its grief and its tenderness, reminding us what we all stand to lose. * Vulture *It is [Zauner's] ability to convey how her mother's simple offering of a rice snack was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression. * Refinery 29 *Incandescent. * Electric Lit *A book you experience with all of your senses: sentences you can taste, paragraphs that sound like music. [Zauner] seamlessly blends stories of food and memory, sumptuousness and grief, to weave a complex narrative of loyalty and loss. -- Rachel SymeA wonder: A beautiful, deeply moving coming-of-age story about mothers and daughters, love and grief, food and identity. It blew me away, even as it broke my heart. -- Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and MeWhen a loved one dies, we search all of our senses for signs of their presence. Zauner’s ability to let us in through taste makes her book stand out—she makes us feel like we are in her mother’s kitchen, singing her praises. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *

Cornerstone The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How
Book SynopsisThere's never been a better time to set new habits. This book will change your life.In The Power of Habit, award-winning journalist Charles Duhigg takes us into the thrilling and surprising world of the scientific study of habits.He examines why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. He visits laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. And he uncovers how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr.The result is a compelling argument and an empowering discovery: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive or even building revolutionary companies is understanding how habits work. By harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.______________________________'[An] essential manual for business and living.'

When you get around to it, obviously. * Stylist *This fascinating book by a New York Times journalist explores how people get stuck in a rut and delves into psychological and neuroscientific research to find out what it takes to change our most deeply ingrained habits. * Guardian *Cue: see cover. Routine: read book. Reward: fully comprehend the art of manipulation. * Bloomberg Businessweek *There's been a lot of research over the past several years about how our habits shape us, and this work is beautifully described in the new book The Power of Habit. -- David Brooks * The New York Times *If Duhigg is right about the nature of habits, which I think he is, then trying to get rid of these bad habits won't work. Instead, what is needed is to teach the managers to identify the cues that lead to these bad habits and rewards, and then learn alternative routines that lead to similar rewards, i.e. business and personal success. * Forbes *The Power of Habit is chock-full of fascinating anecdotes . . . how an early twentieth century adman turned Pepsodent into the first bestselling toothpaste by creating the habit of brushing daily, how a team of marketing mavens at Procter & Gamble rescued Febreze from the scrapheap of failed products by recognizing that a fresh smell was a fine reward for a cleaning task, how Michael Phelps' coach instilled habits that made him an Olympic champion many times over, and how Tony Dungy turned the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl-winning team. * Los Angeles Times *In his book The Power of Habit Charles Duhigg approaches the subject of what habits are and how we can ultimately change them. Written in an engaging style, with just the right balance of scientific fact and actual examples... * The Book Garden Blog *There is a reason this book has been an international bestseller . . .

Skyhorse Publishing The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma,
Book Synopsis#1 on AMAZON, TWENTY WEEKS on the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, and a WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLEROver 1,000,000 copies sold despite censorship, boycotts from bookstores and libraries, and hit pieces against the author. Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. Hands down, he is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for rigged scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe—truly a dark agenda. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal in a back handed manner to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward in an authoritarian manner. During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research on his laptop and through interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent do-nothing studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci did the unthinkable and repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in beyond order, deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies. In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country. This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.Trade Review“Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr exposes the decades of lies.”—Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate “What a book. It's a f**king insane book. I cannot recommend that book enough. . . It makes you reconsider everything.”—Joe Rogan “Bobby Kennedy is one of the bravest and most uncompromisingly honest people I’ve ever met. Someday he’ll get credit for it. In the meantime, read this book.” & "Despite all the lying, or maybe in reaction to it, Bobby is becoming a legitimate folk hero. I hear it all the time."—Tucker Carlson “As a trial lawyer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken on the world’s most powerful corporations and held them accountable for harming people and the environment. Those companies denied any wrongdoing—but time and again, judges and juries were persuaded that Kennedy’s position was the right one. Kennedy’s information should always be considered, and agree or disagree, we all learn from listening.”—Tony Robbins, New York Times bestselling author “Bobby Kennedy and I famously disagree about many aspects of the current debates surrounding Covid and vaccines. We also disagree about Dr Fauci. But I always learn when I read or hear Bobby’s take. So read this book and challenge its conclusions.”—Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Harvard Law School; author of The Case for Vaccine Mandates “If you have any interest in doing a deep dive into the more than 100-year history of what led up to the COVID-19 pandemic, then The Real Anthony Fauci is an absolute must-read. In addition to exposing Fauci, the book reveals the complex web of connections between Gates and Big Pharma and many of the most important players that were responsible for seeking to implement global tyranny and profit enormously from the propaganda behind the COVID injections, masks, and lockdowns.”—Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of Mercola.com “Bobby Kennedy’s book on The Real Anthony Fauci speaks truth in times when health care becomes health harm, untruth rules through anti-science and fake news."—Dr. Vandana Shiva, director of Navdanya and author of Oneness vs. the 1% "I deeply respect [Bobby], and I think if there's anyone that deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, he is the one." & “I thought I understood what was going on from an insider POV. But this is mind-blowing. Anthony Fauci is playing precisely the strategy that he developed and tested during the HIV days. Bobby is on fire in this manuscript. The depth of information and facts, all carefully cited, is mind-blowing. It is a must-read. I think it will really help clarify what has been going down here. Thanks to the consistently dysfunctional COVID-19 response by Fauci and USG/HHS (US Government Health and Human Services Department), we have all become familiar with the terms "regulatory capture" and "Noble Lie." The personal opinion and bias of Dr. Fauci has been repeatedly substituted for evidence-based medicine, and we are all living with the consequences. But beyond this mundane incompetence, what this book clearly documents are the deeper forces and systemic, pervasive governmental corruption, which have led us to this point. Not since the reign of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, have we seen such empire building by a corrupt, longstanding federal employee who is long past retirement age. Dr. Fauci's apparent need to bolster a fragile ego has led to the almost complete systemic corruption of not only US HHS, but the entire world public health system. The consequences will be lasting damage to the reputation of the United States of America, US FDA, and US CDC as honest, independent guardians of public health, which has been carefully nurtured over many decades. The world is now able to clearly see that the US HHS has been captured and compromised by commercial interests. One unintended consequence of allowing and enabling this tragedy will be further erosion in domestic trust in the Public Health System, and in particular, in the entire vaccine enterprise. Global impacts are likely to include accelerating loss of trust in US and western pharmaceutical companies and regulators, and more rapid rise of Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern pharmaceutical competitors."—Robert W. Malone, MD, virologist, immunologist, molecular biologist "Standing as a pivotal work for the history of science and medicine, this book unveils the astonishing, twisted truth about a man (Fauci) and a corrupt institution (NIH) that have betrayed humanity at every turn in order to achieve profits and power. If the American people knew the truth that's documented here, they would be marching by the millions, demanding criminal prosecutions of all those who are complicit in these outrageous betrayals of humanity. RFK Jr's book closes the loop on one of the most disastrous and truly evil schemes in the history of medicine and science. If humanity does not now demand investigations and prosecutions across this vast landscape of science fraud and pathological 'authority,' we are truly beyond hope."—Mike Adams, a.k.a. the "Health Ranger," founder of NaturalNews.com “If you've ever wondered why so many good scientists and doctors have been silenced for discoveries that don't fit the mainstream Big Pharma narrative, look no further than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tour de force exposé of Anthony Fauci. This book reads like a John Grisham legal thriller. Except that it is not fiction. Read it with your eyes wide open. It's time the world woke up to the truth." —Christiane Northrup, MD, former assistant clinical professor of Ob/Gyn, University of Vermont College of Medicine; New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did a great job. I don't agree with everything, but his case is well laid out and copiously documented. The most disturbing things are the unbelievable financial entanglements, the shoddy treatment of patients in clinical trials, and the culture of intimidation. Overall a very good book and a call to overhaul the CDC/NIH.”—Dr. Thomas B. Hakes "To give great responsibility and power to those with no accountability is a recipe for disaster."—K Paul Stoller, MD, FACHM, Hyperbaric & Integrative Medicine "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." —Mahin Khatami, PhD “Kennedy's book proves beyond a shadow of doubt what many Americans have come to learn about Fauci: that he has stifled open debate to the point of utter stagnation of biomedical science. Fauci issues knowledge by decree. This most uninquisitive Fauci is far more concerned with being right and with making sure that the solutions adopted to problems come from his circle rather than in discovering fundamental truths, regardless of the completely externalized cost of his ‘solutions.’ The evidence shows plainly that Fauci has been wrong on matters of life and death far more than he has been right. Fauci's resulting body count is such that he should have a statue erected with him posing and hanging his head in eternal shame. Thanks to this book, historians will mark Fauci down as the most dangerous threat to global public health in the 20th and 21st Centuries.”—James Lyons-Weiler, biomedical research scientist “RFK Jr.’s story of Fauci’s failure as the government’s AIDS coordinator is a highly disturbing prologue to his COVID mandate as head of NIAID. So, who is Dr. Fauci in the end? Has American medicine truly become a ‘racket,’ as corrupt as a mafia organization? Does everything in our country turn on the size of the money involved? How can we begin to solve this? The Real Anthony Fauci is a fascinating starting point. RFK Jr. has written a strong, strong book.” —Oliver Stone, award-winning director, producer, and screenwriter “As I read Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s book I thought a discreet and thorough criminal investigation into Fauci should occur. Having observed Fauci's flip-flops on his statements on the COVID pandemic, coupled with the book’s descriptions by former coworkers as ‘neither a competent manager . . . nor skilled or devoted scientist . . . with a domineering nature toward subordinates and rivals that discouraged dissent, a foundation for an investigation exists. The conduct cited, involving the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approval of a vaccine and how Fauci and his Pharma partners use their PIs to control the key FDA and CDC panels that license and ‘recommend’ new vaccines, is a red flag that warrants this investigation. The book cites an approval of a vaccine, whereby there was no testing of a vaccine against a placebo in pre-approval trials that is a standard scientific process to ‘predict’ and/or determine risks if the vaccines would avert more injuries than they would cause—and the vaccine was approved. This appears to be similar to what happened with the Covid vaccines. The Covid clinical trials were not in accordance with prescribed regulations. It brought back memories of criminal bid-rigging schemes conducted by Organized Crime in New York City. If an investigation identified intentional rampant fraud, vaccine deaths could be considered murders and the federal forfeitures would be billions of dollars.” —Mike Campi, former FBI agent and retired coordinator of the Organized Crime branch of the New York Division “Who—or what—is the real Anthony Fauci? That may be the most important question facing us today, as We the People struggle to survive the lethal care of ‘America's Doctor.’ This essential book reveals—at last!—that Dr. Fauci is, on the one hand, a severely twisted person, in his fiendish cunning, vindictiveness, and ruthlessness, a covert blend of Stalin and Iago; and yet, far more importantly, the story of Dr. Fauci's rise and reign is really all about the absolute corruption of our major institutions—government, medicine, academia, and (above all) the press—by Big Pharma (and the Gates Foundation). Those of us who really do believe in science and democracy, now have this book to help us break his fatal spell on everybody else, and start to rid the world of that corruption.”—Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at New York University; editor, News from Underground “RFK Jr is a tireless champion of Americans’ rights to be informed about their medical choices and has been way out front in warning us of the dangers of an out-of-control pharmaceutical industry. In his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci, he turns the same relentless insider scrutiny on an out-of-control bureaucracy.”—Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth, Give Me Liberty, and Outrages "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written the Rosetta Stone that will help the public finally understand the machinations of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and how he has acted as the puppet master of science for the last half-century—pulling the strings of public health and Big Pharma influence and causing both sides of the political aisle to dance to his tune. A must-read to understand the fake news about medicine and therapies, bought and paid for by corporations with billions of dollars at stake."—Kent Heckenlively, attorney, science teacher, and New York Times bestselling author “Throughout history, fear has been used to manipulate and control populations. In a democracy, we have the privilege and responsibility to question the things we are encouraged to fear. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provides something denied to most Americans in recent years: the opportunity to hear more than one perspective. You can accept or reject the new information in this book—but at least listen.”—Gavin de Becker, bestselling author of The Gift of Fear "If you want to understand the role Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the CDC, WHO, intelligence agencies and others played in planning, launching, and profiting from the COVID pandemic, drop what you’re doing and read this powerful and meticulously researched book! Your future, your family's future, and the future of our democracy are at stake.”—Ralph Pezzullo, bestselling author of Jawbreaker, Zero Footprint and other books “At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, a leader rose to the stage, and his soft voice and welcoming smile drew us in, and we trusted him emphatically. After reading Bobby Kennedy’s earth-shattering book, The Real Anthony Fauci, it is clear that our trusted COVID leader shouldn’t be on a pedestal and should instead be on trial. This book is a must-read for anyone wondering why the United States of America refused to mandate wellness and instead pushed a problematic vaccine.”—Rachael Ross, MD, PhD "Let’s look at the axis between big government and heath care. The pandemic has flushed out the institutional corruption of the medical establishment. Virtually, everything our government told us about the corona-virus has turned out to be wrong. Space does not permit me to give an exhaustive list. I suggest reading Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci. It will shock you. The collaboration between big government and big pharma is a story of self-enrichment on an extraordinary scale, all of which enabled hundreds of thousands to die needlessly. The CDC, WHO, FDA, and NIH are all institutions that proselytize their superior academic knowledge to which, like the Sanhedrin, we are all supposed to bend the knee. In truth, they are corrupt, self-preservation guilds."—Rob Smith "There were times that I had to put the book down and leave it for a day or so either out of disgust, anger, or that certain chapters dealing with treatment of AIDS patients and experimentation upon children in Africa and USA brought on extreme sadness and tears to my eyes:"—Going Postal “A visceral history of corrupt bureaucrats that hide under the guise of ‘science.’ Heavily referenced, provides a plethora of context that dates back decades and continues forward through our current events. Names names and leaves nothing unchallenged. This book is a must-have to dive into the truth that neither legacy media nor social media is comfortable and honest enough to explore and give fair exposure.”—John W, Online customer “I received my copy yesterday...I've been using my yellow highlighter non stop ever since and am disgusted by the deep corruption of our gov't and big Pharma that has gone unchecked way too long. I hope this book is read by every health care provider, educator, elected official and citizen of the world. This publication meticulously researched and very well written. Heartfelt applause sent to Mr. Kennedy and his team for their hard work and bravery in exposing these criminals for who they really are. May justice be served on the heads of those who are intentionally causing harm...BUY IT, READ IT, Give copies to everyone you know...this is extremely IMPORTANT information.”—Kelli J. Bickman, Online customer “I bought this book and read it cover-to-cover in one day. I couldn't put it down. For four decades, there has been a group of about 30 people who have been trying to get out the truth about Fauci and AIDS, and Kennedy has put it all together and given them a voice. As a gay man, I've looked on with frustration, anger, and sadness that ‘my community’ denies the AZT genocide and loves its pharmacidal oppressors - and RFK, Jr. lays it all out.”—Thomas J. Busse, Online customer “Please take action to become a fully-informed member of society by availing yourself of the facts contained in this book. Following in the footsteps of his father and uncle, RFK Jr is to be highly esteemed for his dedication to the truth, his intelligence and bravery in providing us with this information. Atrocities which have been committed are given the light of day.”—Marguerite9, Online customer “Best book I've read in years. Hopefully many more will purchase and read it. Wonderful exposé of Fauci and his accomplices in gain of function research, and forcing unnecessary vaccines purely for profit, offering no long-term health benefits to any population. Kudos to JFK jr and all those who helped with this book. Well deserved number 1 book on Amazon.”—Alistair Meney, Online customer “RFK Jr. and Children's Health Defense meticulously research and source their information carefully. As a lawyer who is working hard to push back against corporate capture and corruption, Mr. Kennedy cannot afford to take a misstep or dispense misinformation. The corruption within the Public Health industry is mind boggling. Look for the truth from those who have everything to lose, and are risking everything in order to shine a light on the darkness attempting to envelop our country.”—Amanda l, Amazon customer “This evening I read the introduction, the first chapter, and skimmed around some of the later chapters of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book. Very well researched and referenced material that’s hard to find elsewhere, compiled in a very readable format. It’s profoundly informing about how the US government has put pharmaceutical interests above public health, and deeply disturbing to read, of course, but not terribly surprising. As the son of Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of John F. Kennedy, it was quite a brave and courageous act to write this book—which the mainstream media either demonizes, ridicules, or ignores—because I’m sure a lot of powerful do not want to see this material in print. I highly recommend that everyone read this important book.”—David J. Brown, Online customer “I love the clear data that RFK Jr. presents, I love his openness to corrections and honest debates. I know he has asked Dr. Sanjay Gupta to debate and Sanjay has not responded. I would also love love love if Fauci were to debate RFK Jr. on these topics in this book. I believe RFK Jr. has some very compelling evidence that would make the debate so powerful. The writing of this book is clear, highly referenced, and fun to read. Let's live in the truth instead of propaganda, instead of promoting fear. Let's promote harmony, love, kindness, and freedom of speech. Let’s promote healthy investigations, and honest well-referenced debates. Bravo Bobby, I feel so thankful to you and to your team and all the research that went into this. I also love that there is a QR code, so that if a reader actually has a valid update to what RFK JR. wrote, they can add the comments and citations. This book is how science and policy should be implemented. With collaboration, honest debate, and wisdom. Thank you! I love this book and HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!”—Karen, Online customer “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's new book is packed with information and references. Each chapter also comes with a scannable code to learn the latest information on that subject. In the Acknowledgments section, the book includes a long list of some of the thousands of doctors and scientists that are, thankfully, speaking against Fauci and the vaccine cartel's so-called ‘consensus.’ After that, Mr. Kennedy exposes, with detailed explanations and meticulous references, Anthony Fauci's lies and corruption, which have taken place for decades. If you are against this book, buy it, read it, and check the references to see if Mr. Kennedy's information is true or not.”—B. Ortiz, Online customer “A critical account of some of the loudest and most influential voices that have deeply impacted American’s lives and livelihoods especially over the last 2 years. I think it behooves all of us to have the courage to read multiple sides—not just the view of mainstream media. Highly recommend!”—Stacey, Online customer “I think this is an exceptional piece of research and logical reporting. I have no medical expertise background, so I had to spend a lot of time examining the documentation of each of the controversial arguments. I found the arguments compelling, and the documentation substantial. So much so, that I wrote three senators and my house representative urging each of them to convene a group of medical experts (not on the receiving end of government largess) to review this work in public forum so that the American people can either affirm their faith in our government health institutions or accept Kennedy's argument that we are being led in the wrong health direction (and at this point, I am less concerned about the reasons why). Unfortunately, my requests to our political leadership fell on deaf ears. I am eager to review other medical experts’ opinions (besides those I have seen on the news who are in the anti-Fauci camp), but have not seen a forum to date. So I have had to formulate my own opinion of the deeply disturbing and well documented indictments raised in this work, and to date accept the rationale, pending some other expert reviews.”—Don W. Alexander, Online customer

Ebury Publishing Eat to Beat Disease: The Body’s Five Defence
Book SynopsisIs your diet feeding or defeating disease?We are at a turning point in our understanding of how to prevent and fight disease. Rates of cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and other common health problems are skyrocketing. However, the latest scientific research and clinical evidence is revealing that the power to protect ourselves against these threats and resist them lies in a simple solution: the foods we eat everyday. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat – and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: · Why scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for your body's regeneration· The role of cheese and wine in maintaining healthy gut bacteria· Why drinking coffee lowers your risk of dyingRevealing more than 200 foods that you can incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out – it is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your life.
