Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp Descubriendo LA NUEVA MEDICINA GERMÁNICA
Book SynopsisEste libro es una inmersión en una nueva forma de entender la salud, basada en las investigaciones del Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer y su propuesta de la Nueva Medicina Germánica (NMG). A lo largo de sus páginas, descubrirás cómo los conflictos emocionales y choques biológicos inesperados pueden influir en la aparición de enfermedades.La NMG plantea que cada enfermedad tiene su origen en un conflicto emocional no resuelto, activando lo que el Dr. Hamer llamó los Programas Biológicos Especiales (SBS), respuestas biológicas diseñadas para ayudar al cuerpo a adaptarse a situaciones de estrés. En lugar de considerar las enfermedades como fallos del cuerpo, la NMG las ve como respuestas naturales con un propósito biológico.El libro también aborda las críticas y controversias que rodean a la NMG desde su creación, así como su futuro. Desde la controversia científica hasta la resistencia del sistema médico, se analizan los desafíos y se exploran sus posibles aplicaciones futuras.Esta obra no es solo una exposición de teorías, sino una invitación a reconsiderar nuestra visión de las enfermedades, enfocándonos en las raíces emocionales detrás de los síntomas. La NMG ofrece una perspectiva más amplia e integradora del bienestar, donde cuerpo, mente y emociones están profundamente conectados.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dimethyl Sulfoxide DMSO in Trauma and Disease
Book SynopsisFirst isolated as a chemical compound by a Russian chemist in 1866, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) proved to be a near-perfect solvent for decades before its remarkable biological and medical activities were discovered. DMSO is one of the most prodigious agents ever to come out of the world of drug development. Its wide range of biological actions involving plants, animals, and humans has led to the publication of tens of thousands of articles in the scientific literature.Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease examines the major clinical uses of DMSO in humans as supported by basic evidence derived from experiments in animals, including its effects in disorders such as osteoarthritis, interstitial cystitis, gastrointestinal inflammatory changes, scleroderma, respiratory distress, myasthenia gravis, cardiac disease, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's disease. The effects of DMSO on pain, cancer, stroke, and spinal cord injury are also discussed. The bookTable of ContentsChemistry of DMSO. DMSO in Basic Pharmacology. DMSO Clinical Pharmacology.
