Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The Studies the CDC Refuses to Do This book is based on over one hundred studies in the peer-reviewed literature that consider vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations. Each study is analyzed, and health differences among infants, children, and adults who have been vaccinated and those who have not are presented and put in context. Readers will find information on: The infant/child vaccination schedule Thimerosal in vaccines Live virus vaccines The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Vaccination and Gulf War illness Influenza (flu) vaccines Hepatitis B vaccination The COVID-19 vaccine Vaccines during pregnancy Given the massive push to vaccinate the entire global population, this book is timely and necessary for individuals to make informed choices for themselves and their families. Trade Review“Millions of people—myself included—initially believed the Covid-19 vaccine disaster to be a one-off, the result of a novel, rapidly evolving virus combined with a rushed therapeutic packaged in an experimental delivery system. Today I laugh at such naiveté. In Vax-Unvax, Kennedy and Hooker shine a blinding light on the appalling lack of research and blatant propaganda behind the entire inflated and ever-expanding childhood vaccine schedule. The authors’ painstaking investigation and rigorous analyses are rivaled only by their bravery in exposing the depth and breadth of the lies we’ve been told. As a physician who never dreamed of questioning the safety and efficacy claims of routine immunizations and who believed he was protecting his patients and his own children by endorsing them, I am humbled and enraged. Our government, the media, and the powerful and rapacious pharmaceutical industrial complex have deceived, endangered, and gaslit the public for far too long. I hope this explosive and important book finds a worldwide audience and becomes a staple in every pediatrician’s and parent’s library.”—Dr. Pierre Kory, author of The War on Ivermectin, cofounder of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, cofounder of the Leading Edge Tele-Health Clinic “As the threat of fatal infectious diseases in childhood has dissipated, there has been a lagged increase in the intensity of vaccination for rare illnesses. Modern treatment and supportive care have taken much of the concern out of the infections on the childhood vaccine schedule. However, with the rise of hyper-vaccination, Kennedy and Hooker uncover a concurrent explosion of childhood allergic, immune, and neuropsychiatric illnesses. Massive systemic perturbation of the immune system with indiscriminate immunization has come at a sobering cost. Read Vax-Unvax carefully and keep it close at hand—this dawn of a new age in public health will be tumultuous for years to come.”—Dr. Peter McCullough, author of The Courage to Face COVID-19 “In this book, Kennedy and Hooker provide the complete, definitive demolition of the mythos and propaganda that tells the public vaccines improve the health of children. Not a plank of this false house remains by the end of this book. The lies are dismantled in cool, clear language void of bombast, which allows the facts, figures, and data to shine through, to a devastating conclusion. This is the book you can hand to people who are still in trance states about vaccines.”—Celia Farber, journalist and author of Serious Adverse Events “‘The Science’ is finally here in one place. If you want to follow the science related to vaccines and health problems, this is a must read. With over one hundred references, the actual harm being caused by vaccines is exposed. Parents, don't listen to an authority figure without doing your own research. This book is required reading for every informed parent.”—Paul Thomas, MD, author of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan and The Addiction Spectrum; founder and host of With the Wind: Science Revealed; cofounder KidsFirst4Ever.com “This clear, compelling, timely book lays to rest most myths about the ‘science’ and safety of many existing vaccines and exposes shoddy testing, shocking damage to health, and corrupt business practices. An important follow-up to Kennedy’s The Real Anthony Fauci.”—Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth and The Bodies of Others “While the CDC continues to refuse to do the type of vaccinated versus unvaccinated study that parents have long been demanding, independent researchers have forged ahead, and the results are now quite clear: unvaccinated children are healthier. In Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Brian Hooker review that data as well as many additional studies comparing health outcomes between those who did or did not receive individual vaccines. This is an essential resource for the serious researcher and a valuable guide for anyone wishing to exercise truly informed consent. The graphs helpfully included with the discussion of each study covered speak for themselves. It is past time for the ‘public health’ establishment to stop deceiving the public with their proclamations of official dogma about the ostensible safety of these pharmaceutical products.”—Jeremy R. Hammond, independent journalist and author of The War on Informed Consent “In 1999, I gave a vaccine that caused such a bad side effect that it altered the trajectory of my patient’s life. Thus began my journey into vaccine safety research. This book is a great compilation of scientific studies you never heard about on the news. With easy-to-understand graphics and explanations of statistics, you can analyze data from clinicians and researchers from around the world. You may find yourself doubting the simplistic ‘safe and effective’ doctrine repeated by health authorities. You will find yourself more empowered to make vaccine decisions for your child.”—Elizabeth Mumper, MD, IFMCP, president & CEO, Rimland Center for Integrative Medicine “RFK Jr. and Dr. Hooker present the science that supports what I have personally witnessed in my twenty-five years as a pediatrician—unvaccinated children are healthier and have fewer chronic medical problems compared to vaccinated kids. Today’s parents, and a growing number of my colleagues, are now coming to recognize this grand irony in our modern pediatric health care system."—Dr. Bob Sears, author of The Vaccine Book and host of TheVaccineConversation.com podcast “Bobby Kennedy and Brian Hooker are tireless heroes on the front line of a great battle to protect our health freedom. Biomedical studies are being falsified and the masses are being deceived by health authorities, the vaccine industry, and a complicit media. Read this book and let the true science speak!” —Neil Z. Miller, author of Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies “When I met Dr. Hooker on August 29, 2014, he was more than a decade into his relentless efforts through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to reveal not only the studies the CDC refused to do but the plague of corruption surrounding CDC whistleblower William Thompson’s confession regarding the censorship and fraud in the MMR vaccine trial by the CDC to cover up the fraud in the in clinical literature surrounding all vaccines. Stunned by the blatant corruption in Dr. Hooker’s presentation that day, Kent Heckenlively and I, in collaboration with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., began to write Plague of Corruption. Throughout 2019, Dr. Hooker and Kennedy collaborated to reveal much of the CDC, FDA, and NIH corruption in the thirty-four page foreword to Plague of Corruption that revealed manipulation of hundreds of basic research studies showing dangers of xenotransplantation, microbial contamination, and environmental toxins including mercury, aluminum, PEG, and the corruption of the agencies tasked to protect public health. Vax-Unvax is the result of their heroic effort to reveal the censored science and truth behind the role of a failure by these agencies tasked to conduct safety studies in three decades of liability-free vaccines and the resultant explosion of chronic disease and disability facing our world today. Given the massive push to vaccinate a new generation, this book is a must read supporting a moratorium on inoculations in favor of oral and mucosal immunization strategies.”—Judy A. Mikovits, PhD “In Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak, authors Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Brian Hooker have provided a deep dive into vaccine safety by looking at published data from independent researchers. The resulting review of vaccinated and unvaccinated children's health outcomes clearly shows the damage, much of it neurological, that blind adherence to the CDC's current vaccine schedule can induce. The studies highlighted are those that both the FDA and CDC have routinely refused, and continue to refuse, to do themselves. The official reason for not providing such studies is based on the erroneous notion that conducting vaccinated-unvaccinated evaluations would somehow be ‘unethical.’ Kennedy and Hooker demolish this argument and then proceed to review the safety of different vaccines, many that contain adjuvant aluminum or Thimerosal, the latter an ethyl mercury compound. Overall, for those trying to understand the often-confusing claims and counterclaims, particularly lay people, the book provides some badly needed clarity. The book also considers the current Covid-19 mRNA vaccines in context to the older childhood vaccine platforms. This is a particularly timely contribution in that the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting vaccine mandates have paradoxically served to make more people question the official ‘safe and effective’ mantra that tends to surround all vaccines: If the conventional vaccine platforms using compounds with aluminum and mercury are not safe, then why should anyone trust the completely new and largely experimental vaccine platforms developed for Covid (and soon numerous vaccines)? For parents it can be both confusing and frightening to consider the pros and cons of vaccines against childhood diseases: What if they make the wrong decision, in either direction, and their child is harmed? While many in the medical profession may not like the book because it exposes the outright deception of the pharmaceutical industry, the CDC and FDA, I strongly believe that many parents, or parents-to-be, will be grateful for the information it contains. Simply put, at the end of the day the ability to consider all aspects of vaccine safety in order to make an informed choice for one's children, or oneself, is an absolutely critical aspect of real health freedom. In turn, health freedom is intimately tied to the concept of ‘security of the person,’ perhaps the most fundamental of natural rights. Kennedy and Hooker should be commended for tackling this crucial issue in order to bring clarity to the mass of ‘dis-’ and ‘mis-’ information peddled by the health establishment and the mainstream media. If indeed the ‘truth can set you free,’ then this book is a huge step in the right direction.”—Christopher Shaw, neuroscientist and professor of ophthalmology at University of British Columbia, author of Dispatches from the Vaccine Wars “If there is only one book you read in your entire life, let it be this one! If you want the science to speak . . . then have the courage to look at the actual science, data, and truth found in the pages of Vax-Unvax. Arm yourself with the information that puts the power back into the hands of parents where it belongs, not in the hands of corrupt Pharma, captured government officials, and incentivized doctors spouting catch phrases with little to no evidence to back it up. RFK Jr. and Dr. Brian Hooker are the bold voices of truth, presenting evidence that cannot be disputed. The main purpose of a parent is to love your child and keep them safe. If you have not had the courage before, I boldly implore you to find the courage now, and educate before you vaccinate!”—Leigh-Allyn Baker, actress, producer, and star of the global hit Good Luck Charlie

Book SynopsisANTHONY WILLIAM, New York Times best-selling author of Medical Medium, was born with the unique ability to converse with a high-level spirit who provides him with extraordinarily accurate health information that's often far ahead of its time.

His unprecedented accuracy and success rate as the Medical Medium have earned him the trust and love of hundreds of thousands worldwide. www.medicalmedium.comTrade Review"Within the first three minutes of speaking with me, Anthony precisely identified my medical issue! This healer really knows what he’s talking about. Anthony’s abilities as the Medical Mediu are unique and fascinating."— Alejandro Junger, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of Clean, Clean Eats, and Clean Gut, and founder of the acclaimed Clean Program"While there is most definitely an element of otherworldly mystery to the work he does, much of what Anthony William shines a spotlight on—particularly around autoimmune disease—feels inherently right and true. What’s better is that the protocols he recommends are natural, accessible, and easy to do."— Gwyneth Paltrow, Oscar-winning actress, #1 New York Times best-selling author of It’s All Easy, founder and CCO of GOOP.com"Anthony is a magician for all my label’s recording artists, and if he were a record album, he would far surpass Thriller. His ability is nothing short of profound, remarkable, extraordinary, and mind-blowing. He is a luminary whose books are filled with prophecies. This is the future of medicine."— Craig Kallman, Chairman and CEO, Atlantic Records"Anthony’s gift has made him a conduit for information that is light-years ahead of where science is today."— from the foreword by Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of Goddesses Never Age and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom"Anthony is not only a warm, compassionate healer, he is also authentic and accurate, with God-given skills. He has been a total blessing in my life."— Naomi Campbell, model, actress, activist"My family and friends have been the recipients of Anthony’s inspired gift of healing, and we’ve benefited more than I can express with rejuvenated physical and mental health."— Scott Bakula, star of Basmati Blues, NCIS: New Orleans, Quantum Leap, and Star Trek: Enterprise"How very much we have been moved and benefited from the discovery of Anthony and the Compassion Spirit, who can reach us with healing wisdom through Anthony's sensitive genius and caring mediumship. His book is truly ‘wisdom of the future,’ so already now, miraculously, we have the clear, accurate explanation of the many mysterious illnesses that the ancient Buddhist medical texts predicted would afflict us in this era when over-clever people have tampered with the elements of life in the pursuit of profit."— Robert Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies, Columbia University; President, Tibet House US; best-selling author of Love Your Enemies and Inner Revolution; host of Bob Thurman Podcast"Anthony is a wonderful person. He identified some long-term health issues for me, he knew what supplements I needed, and I felt better immediately."— Rashida Jones, actress, producer, and writer; star of Angie Tribeca and co-star of Parks and Recreation, The Social Network, and I Love You, Man"Anthony William has devoted his life to helping people with information that has truly made a substantial difference in the lives of many."— Amanda de Cadenet, host and executive producer of The Conversation"Anthony William’s God-given gift for healing is nothing short of miraculous."— David James Elliott, Camera Store, Scorpion, Trumbo, Mad Men, CSI: NY; star for ten years of CBS’s JAG"Anthony William is the gifted Medical Medium who has very real and not-so-radical solutions to the mysterious conditions that affect us all in our modern world. I am beyond thrilled to know him personally and count him as a most valuable resource for my health protocols and those for my entire family."— Annabeth Gish, Scandal, The Bridge, Brotherhood, The West Wing, Mystic Pizza"I love Anthony William! My daughters Sophia and Laura gave me his book for my birthday, and I couldn’t put it down. The Medical Medium has helped me connect all the dots on my quest to achieve optimal health. Through Anthony’s work, I realized the residual Epstein-Barr left over from a childhood illness was sabotaging my health years later. Medical Medium has transformed my life."— Catherine Bach, The Young and the Restless, The Dukes of Hazzard"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. Every morning when following my protocols, I smile and say, ‘Whoa, Anthony William! I thank you for your restorative gift…Yes!’"— Robert Wisdom, Flaked, Chicago P.D., Nashville, The Wire, Ray?"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. I am astounded, grateful, and happy for the insights offered on moving forward."— Mike Dooley, New York Times best-selling author of Infinite Possibilities and scribe of Notes from the Universe"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"Anthony is a seer and a wellness sage. His gift is remarkable. With his guidance I’ve been able to pinpoint and address a health issue that’s been plaguing me for years."— Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Juice, Crazy Sexy Kitchen, and Crazy Sexy Diet"Anthony William is the Edgar Cayce of our time, reading the body with outstanding precision and insight. Anthony identifies the underlying causes of diseases that often baffle the most astute conventional and alternative health-care practitioners. Anthony’s practical and profound advice makes him one of the most powerfully effective healers of the 21st century."— Ann Louise Gittleman, New York Times best-selling author of 30 books on health and healing and creator of the highly popular Fat Flush detox and diet plan"I rely on Anthony William for my and my family’s health. Even when doctors are stumped, Anthony always knows what the problem is and the pathway for healing."— Chelsea Field, The Last Boy Scout, Andre"As a Hollywood businesswoman, I know value. Some of Anthony’s clients spent over $1 million seeking help for their ‘mystery illness’ until they finally discovered him."— Nanci Chambers, co-star of JAG; Hollywood producer and entrepreneur"Anthony William’s invaluable advice on preventing and combating disease is years ahead of what’s available anywhere else."— Richard Sollazzo, M.D., New York board-certified oncologist, hematologist, nutritionist, and anti-aging expert and author of Balance Your Health"Whenever Anthony William recommends a natural way of improving your health, it works. I’ve seen this with my daughter, and the improvement was impressive. His approach of using natural ingredients is a more effective way of healing."— Martin D. Shafiroff, Managing Director of Barclays Capital; rated #1 Broker in America by WealthManagement.com and #1 Wealth Advisor by Barron’s"Any quantum physicist will tell you there are things at play in the universe we can’t yet understand. I truly believe Anthony has a handle on them. He has an amazing gift for intuitively tapping into the most effective methods for healing."— Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Cruel Beautiful World, Is This Tomorrow, and Pictures of You"I had a health reading from Anthony, and he accurately told me things about my body only known to me. 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, TV host of Messages from Spirit"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 SynopsisStatins are the so-called wonder drugs widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype, revealing: high cholesterol levels don't cause heart disease; a high-fat diet - saturated or otherwise - does not affect blood cholesterol levels; and, the protection provided by statins is so small as to be not worth bothering about for most men and all women.Statins have many more side affects than has been admitted and their advocates should be treated with scepticism due to their links with the drugs' manufacturers.Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to spend billions of pounds on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of stress and anxiety - the real cause of fatal heart disease.With clarity and wit, "The Great Cholesterol Con" debunks our assumptions on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet. It is the invaluable guide for anyone who thought there was a miracle cure for heart disease, an appeal to common sense and a controversial and fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.

Book Synopsis‘The most mind-blowing information on heart disease. . . . I consider this to be the best book I’ve ever read on cardiovascular health.’—Ben Greenfield, New York Times bestselling author Despite what we might think living in a world filled with Covid, cancer, famine and obesity – heart disease remains the number-one killer in the world. There continue to be huge investments in advanced medical procedures and more and more powerful pharmaceutical drugs, but the rate of heart disease continues to rise. As a type 1 diabetic, Dr Stephen Hussey had always known that he was at two to four times greater risk of developing heart disease. As a result, he has dedicated his entire adult life to understanding the heart, to prevent himself from becoming a statistic. Dr Hussey believes that the continued rise in heart disease is due in part to fundamental misunderstandings about how the heart really functions and how to keep it healthy. These misunderstandings can result in improper medical approaches and off-target intervention therapies. Sadly, Dr Hussey’s worst nightmare came true. He suffered a ‘STEMI,’ a blockage in the left anterior descending artery of his heart. STEMIs are typically so fatal that they are known as ‘widowmakers.’ Only 12 per cent of those who experience them outside of a hospital setting survive. Dr Hussey was among the lucky 12 per cent, but faced a difficult decision during his recovery: follow the standard of care laid out for him by the attending cardiologist, or politely decline and apply everything he’d learned about the heart to a recovery protocol that would look massively different than what the doctors were recommending. In Understanding the Heart, Dr Hussey shares the information that guided him through the highest-stakes decision of his life, including: A large body of research suggesting that the heart is not the main mover of blood in the body, and what that means for your overall health The evolutionary origins of the nervous system and how these manifest today in rampant rates of heart disease Deep analysis of the widely accepted idea that saturated fat and cholesterol will clog your arteries The importance of reducing oxidative stress for a heart healthy lifestyle In Understanding the Heart, Dr Stephen Hussey lays bare everything he has learned in his deep investigation into the heart and guides you on a path to prevent disease in the context of a highly diseased modern world in order to enjoy lifelong good health.Trade Review“The most mind-blowing information on heart disease. . . . I consider this to be one of the best books I’ve ever read on cardiovascular health.”―Ben Greenfield, New York Times best-selling author“Finally, a holistic, evolutionary-rich, and practical approach to understanding heart disease. This book is powerful, informative, and approachable.”—Dr. Bill Schindler, author of Eat Like a Human“With simple prose, and sprinkled with many entertaining personal stories, Dr. Stephen Hussey reveals the magic in biology and dispels a number of myths about heart disease. You will learn that the heart is a vortex, not a pump, that its preferred fuels are fats and ketone bodies, that the blood flows through the vessels via electromagnetic energy driven by exclusion zone water, and much else. This book will make you think of your heart in a totally new way.”—Stephanie Seneff, PhD, author, Toxic Legacy"Exceptionally 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, making this an ideal and highly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Health/Medicine collections. Informative and iconoclastic."—Midwest Book Review

Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile.

In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

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.

In this updated edition of the definitive guide to adaptogenic herbs, clinical herbalist David Winston and researcher Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look at adaptogens: non-toxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and ashwagandha that help the body “adapt” to the many influences it encounters and manage the stresses it experiences. They also increase stamina and energy, boost cognitive function, restore the immune system, and counter the effects of aging, especially when used in appropriate combinations. Beginning with a history of the use of adaptogens, including in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Russian medicine, the book examines how these herbal remedies work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness and ailments. The extensive Materia Medica includes monographs on 25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, shatavari, reishi, and holy basil, as well as complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and nootropic herbs, such as milky oats, astragalus, St. John’s wort, and ginkgo. Each monograph presents the latest scientific research and details the origin, traditional and clinical uses, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb. The book also includes guidance on adaptogenic remedies for our animal companions. Aimed not only at herbalists but also those interested in natural health, this guide to adaptogens will allow you to safely and effectively use these herbal remedies to enhance your health and improve your chances of living a longer, healthier, and well-balanced life.Trade Review“There has never been a time when more people at once have suffered from anxiety, sleep disorders, stress, and immune system dysfunction. Conventional medicine provides us only with tools that suppress at best, harm at worst. Yet there is another way, one that is both ancient and modern, a class of herbs called adaptogens. And who better to enlighten us on the history, benefits, and use of these herbs, trusted across cultures, than an herbalist’s herbalist, universally trusted for his knowledge of both botanical medicine history and use. In this book, David Winston provides us with a tool for resilience that we need now more than ever and that is readily accessible to all who want to welcome medicinal plants into their healing path.” * Aviva Romm, MD, herbalist, author of Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health and The Adrenal Thy *“Here is an herbal gem! Few people know and understand the properties and actions of herbs as well as David Winston. His expertise lies not only in how herbs were used historically but in the latest scientific research as well. Melding information from many traditions, David paints a complete picture of their use and effectiveness. This updated and expanded Adaptogens is a welcome addition for anyone looking to improve their health. This book will expand your understanding of adaptogen herbs, their history, and their relevance in today’s chronic-stress society.” * Phyllis D. Light, MA, RH(AHG) *“Authoritative, indispensable Herbalism at its best. A welcome second edition that confirms the place of this exceptional book on every herbalist’s bookshelf.” * David Hoffmann, BSc, FNIMH, Principle Scientist at Traditional Medicinals, author of Medical Herbali *“David’s new edition of Adaptogens offers so much more than most of the herbal books available today. His wisdom, insights and experience shine through every page, guiding and inspiring the reader to find higher health and vitality and protect against the harmful effects of daily stress in a practical and clear style that is imminently accessible.” * Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D., L.Ac., A.H.G., coauthor of Grow It and Heal It *"David Winston is one of the foremost clinical herbalists of our time. He is a beloved speaker at medical conferences due to his encyclopedic knowledge of plants and his mastery of teaching to a wide variety of audiences. He knows not only western herbs, he is adept in using herbal foundations of Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medical systems, and weaves molecular, traditional, energetic wisdom together with finesse. These varied skill sets make David a treasure trove of herbal knowledge and his books display his deep understanding and practical experience, all on a base of human kindness." * Jill Stansbury, ND *“I consider this book essential for clinical herbal practice. It is also excellent for all serious students and home herbalists. It reduces to gentle readability the problems inherent in the concept of the adaptogen, rescuing it from both faddism and skepticism, defining it against a backdrop of related and different concepts. It then provides an apothecary of adaptogens that is comprehensive, practical, and will instill confidence in the herbalist using these important plant medicines.” * Matthew Wood, MS (Herbal Medicine), Registered Herbalist (AHG) *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part One: Herbal Adaptogens 1 Herbal Medicine around the World 2 Adaptogens: An Overview 3 History of Adaptogens4 Actions of Adaptogens 5 Adaptogens and the Stress Response 6 Health Benefits of Adaptogens Part Two: Materia Medica7 Monographs on Adaptogens Well-Researched Adaptogens American Ginseng • Ashwagandha • Asian Ginseng • Cordyceps • Eleuthero • Rhaponticum • Rhodiola • Schisandra • Shilajit Probable Adaptogens Cistanche • Cynomorium • Holy Basil • Morinda • Shatavari Possible Adaptogens Codonopsis • Guduchi • Horny Goat Weed • Jiaogulan • Licorice • Maca • Manchurian Aralia • Prince Seng • Reishi • Russian Devil’s Club • White Bryony 8 Nervines: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Betony • Blue Vervain • Chamomile • Fresh Milky Oat • Hawthorn • Lemon Balm • Linden • Mimosa • Motherwort • Passionflower • Skullcap • St. John’s Wort 9 Nootropics: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Bacopa • Bhringraj • Chinese Polygala • Ginkgo • Gotu Kola • Lavender • Rosemary • Shankhpushpi • White Peony10 Restorative Tonics: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Amla • Astragalus • Bee Pollen • Chyawanprash • Goji Berry • Nettle Seed • Processed Rehmannia • Saw Palmetto • Suma Part Three: Herbal Adaptogens in Use 11 Clinical Use of Adaptogens 12 Adaptogenic Herbs in Combination 13 Adaptogens and Restorative Tonics as Food 14 Adaptogens for Animals Resources Glossary BibliographyIndex

Book SynopsisThe future of medicine - and the key to a healthier life - starts in your mouth Many common chronic conditions such as obesity, inflammation, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer, amongst others, often have their origins in the mouth. In his groundbreaking new work It’s All in Your Mouth, German dentist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz presents the principles of ‘biological dentistry’, along with emerging scientific research on the mouth’s vital role in the body’s microbiome - a key to whole body wellness. It’s All in Your Mouth challenges the conventional dental wisdom that views teeth as separate from the rest of the body, and conventional dental practices that often cause more harm than good. You’ll discover: The latest research on the body’s microbiome and relationship to the mouth Critical information on the dangers of root canals and amalgam fillings The important role of nutrition in oral health and hygiene A clarion call for a new approach to dentistry Sensible, holistic, and humane, It’s All in Your Mouth offers a much-needed new approach to natural immunity to chronic disease, and integrating dental hygiene into whole body health.Trade Review“This is a much-needed book! Teeth are living organs, and their health is closely connected with the health of the whole body. Unhealthy gums, root canals, amalgam fillings, and other dental problems can cause severe degenerative conditions including any autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, allergies, and digestive problems. We need wholistic dentistry more than ever today, and this book is written by a wholistic dentist. I warmly recommend this book!”—Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome“Having grown up in a family in which my father and grandfather were both dentists, I must admit I wanted nothing to do with the subject. Unfortunately for me that meant I have spent most of my career choosing to ignore the profound connection between dental health and whole body health. The concise and informative book by Dr. Nischwitz showed me in very clear terms that this has been a mistake. Many things affect our overall health, but perhaps none are as important as the state of our teeth. I encourage everyone to read It’s All in Your Mouth and start putting Dr. Nischwitz’s ideas into action.”—Tom Cowan, MD, author of Cancer and the New Biology of Water“There’s been a huge shift in awareness about how to achieve optimal health, but many people still miss where it all begins: the mouth. It’s All in Your Mouth cleverly combines functional and naturopathic medicine with advanced dentistry. This book is biological dentistry at its absolute best.”—Tim Gray, biohacker; founder, Health Optimisation Summit“A fascinating exploration of the fundamental connection between the health of your mouth, overall well-being, and your ability to perform on and off the field.

Book SynopsisThe best-selling book on the topic—now in 15 languages. This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.

Book SynopsisAffecting 80% of the population, leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.In order to keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. In Eat Dirt, Dr Axe explains that what we regard as modern improvements to our food supply – including refrigeration, sanitation, and modified grains – have damaged our intestinal health. In fact, the same organisms in soil that allow plants and animals to flourish are the ones we need for gut health. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome and manifests differently in every individual.In Eat Dirt, Dr Axe identifies the five main types of leaky gut syndrome and offers customizable 30-day plans for diagnosing and treating each 'gut type' with diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. He explains that it's essential to get a little 'dirty' in our daily lives in order to support our gut bacteria and prevent leaky gut syndrome, and offers simple ways to get these needed microbes, from incorporating local honey and bee pollen into your diet to forgoing hand sanitizers and even ingesting a little probiotic-rich soil. The premise is simple: identify your gut type, learn which foods to eat and to avoid, incorporate your daily dose of 'dirt', and make simple lifestyle changes.Trade ReviewOur understanding of what really threatens human health is undergoing a revolution, and Eat Dirt magnificently describes this paradigm shift. Dr. Axe's guidance, centered on reestablishing healthy gut bacteria, is in line with our most respected and forward-thinking medical research.
