Book SynopsisAuthor Clair Davies' own case of frozen shoulder led him to undertake an extensive study of trigger points and referred pain that eventually resulted in his runaway best-seller, "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook". Now, this renowned bodywork expert and educator revisits the subject of frozen shoulder, offering the most detailed and comprehensive manual yet available about this painful and debilitating condition, a useful resource for self-care and for bodywork practitioners looking to expand their treatment repertoire. Frozen shoulder, the syndrome name for several joint and tendon-related symptoms, is experienced as a loss of motion and pain in the shoulder and upper arm. It is most often observed in women between the ages of forty and sixty and individuals with type-two diabetes. Traditional medical treatments for the condition, which rely on painkillers, steroid injections and physical therapy, often do little to moderate symptoms or speed recovery. Trigger point therapy, a gentle massage technique that targets localised areas of tenderness in soft tissue, has been used very successfully to relieve pain, restore range of motion and shorten recovery times.

Book SynopsisHypothyroidism is one of the commonest yet the worst treated condition in Western medicine. Why? Because today's doctor only treats blood tests, not patients even though they may have all the classic signs and symptoms. Dr Myhill, supported by Craig Robinson, shows us what those signs and symptoms are, all stemming from the metabolism running slow, and what the problems with diagnostic blood tests are that mean they cannot be relied on in isolation. Advocating lifestyle measures, iodine and natural desiccated thyroid where found to be necessary, the authors also show us the consequences of untreated hypothyroidism at every stage of life and why it is so important to take remedying the problem safely into your own hands if your doctor won't give you the diagnosis and treatment you need.Table of ContentsPart I The practical: Are you hypothyroid? The symptoms and signs; Blood tests for hypothyroidism; Before you start a trial of natural desiccated thyroid (NDT); The adrenal 'gearbox'; How to trial NDT and balance up the dose long-term; Part II: The theory: How and why we become hypothyroid; What happens if the diagnosis of hypothyroidism is missed; Thyroid myths - how your doctor will discourage you; The hypothyroid child; The hypothyroid female; Thyrotoxicosis, nodules and cancer; Iodine; Appendices: How to access thyroid blood tests; The different NDT preparations and how to obtain them; The PK diet; Vitamin C; Detoxing; Groundhog basic; Groundhog acute; Groundhog chronic, DDD reactions; Resources; Glossary

Book SynopsisIn this revolutionary and highly readable book, Thérèse Bertherat and Carol Bernstein shatter myths about traditional exercise and health. They introduce movement that is based on a profound selfawareness, freeing us from our limiting attitudes about ourselves and our bodies. Strangers to our own bodies, many of us spend our adult lives suffering from tensions and chronic aches and pains--problems that have no apparent genesis or solution. In repeating habitual patterns of movement, we ignore the range of possibilities available to us, so that the body suppresses and eventually forgets its natural grace and integration. Employing traditional exercises to alleviate the symptoms of a round stomach, a bad back, and muscles that ache after sports, we often force the body to act against itself and perpetuate our discomfort. A physical therapist and teacher of movement in Europe, Bertherat takes the reader through a series of precise, gentle, organic movements. These “anti-exercises” develop the body’s range and freedom of movement, releasing constraints and reawakening dormant muscles. By using the appropriate energy for each gesture, they bring relief from a multitude of ills, at the same time awakening the senses and sharpening perceptions. The Body Has Its Reasonsoffers a realistic alternative to conventional body work that can help you become more efficient, creative, and self-confident. It can increase your intellectual capacity as well as your athletic ability and free you of sexual problems, including frigidity and impotence. No matter what your age, the information in these pages can help you release the beautiful and well-made individual that you were meant to be.Trade Review“A compelling, often personal, account of the ways in which movement affects well-being and can literally transform lives.” * Deborah Hutton, Vogue *Table of ContentsThe Body Has Its Reasons: Self-Awareness Through Conscious Movement Introduction: Your Body, That House You Don't Live In 1.

Book SynopsisTrigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients' formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits.This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points-tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Restricted circulation and lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief.The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. This edition includes a new chapter by the now deceased author, Clair Davies' daughter, Amber Davies, who is passionate about continuing her father's legacy. The new edition also includes postural assessments and muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and treating trigger points.

Book SynopsisFor decades, Dr. Jeffrey Bland has been on the cutting edge of Functional Medicine, which seeks to pinpoint and prevent the cause of illness, rather than treat its symptoms. Managing chronic diseases accounts for three quarters of our total healthcare costs, because we''re masking these illnesses with pills and temporary treatments, rather than addressing their underlying causes, he argues. Worse, only treating symptoms leads us down the path of further illness.In The Disease Delusion, Dr. Bland explains what Functional Medicine is and what it can do for you. While advances in modern science have nearly doubled our lifespans in only four generations, our quality of life has not reached its full potential. Outlining the reasons why we suffer chronic diseases from asthma and diabetes to obesity, arthritis and cancer to a host of other ailments, Dr. Bland offers achievable, science-based solutions that can alleviate these common conditions and offers a roadmap for a lifetime of wellness.Trade Review"The godfather of functional medicine elegantly explains the core tools to overcome the chronic ailments of modern society." -- Mehmet Oz, M.D. "Dr. Bland's book should be a textbook in medical schools all over the world. I wish I had found it while I was in medical school myself." -- Alejandro Junger, MD, Founder of the Clean Program "What the personal computer revolution did for old-fashioned mainframe computing-empowering us all-is what functional medicine is doing for healthcare; and if there is a Steve Jobs of functional medicine, it is Jeffrey Bland-visionary, innovative, and perennially two steps ahead." -- Dale E. Bredesen, MD, Augustus Rose Professor, Director, Mary S. Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research, Director, Neurodegenerative Disease Research David Geffen School of Medicine UCLA "Filled with solid science, fascinating medical detective stories, and practical tips, this powerful book can save your life." -- Daniel G.

Book SynopsisA WALL STREET JOURNALNATIONAL BESTSELLER*AS SEEN ON TUCKER CARLSON TODAY AND THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE*A guide for the times—breaking down the lies about COVID-19 and shedding light on why we came to believe them. When he invented the original mRNA vaccine technology as a medical and graduate student in the late 1980s, Robert Malone could not have imagined that he would become a leader in a movement to expose the dangers of mRNA vaccines that billions of people have received—too often without being informed of the risks. For voicing opposition to the “mainstream” narrative, Dr. Robert Malone was censored by Big Tech and vilified by the media. But he continues to speak out and alert the world to the web of lies that we have all experienced. From vaccine safety and effectiveness to early treatments like ivermectin, to lockdowns, masks, and more, Dr. Malone is the signature dissident voice telling the other side of the story about COVID, the role of corporate media, censorship, propaganda, and the brave new world of transhumanism promoted by the World Economic Forum and its acolytes. What effect did the COVID policies have on lives, livelihoods, and democracies? How is it possible that the lies spread by governments would persist, and that our institutions would fail to correct them? Lies My Gov’t Told Me takes a hard look at these questions and illustrates how data, information, and psychology have been distorted during the pandemic. Governments intentionally weaponized fear to mold behavior. The media smeared anyone who objected to the narrative. And Big Pharma—aligned with larger globalist interests exemplified by the likes of Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum—had captured the agencies that are supposed to regulate it long before the pandemic began. Dr. Malone explores these perverse connections between Pharma, government, and media, and tells us what can be done about it. With contributed chapters from other leading thinkers, such as Dr. Paul Marik and Professor Mattias Desmet, and drawing upon history, psychology, and economics, Lies My Gov’t Told Me looks at COVID from numerous angles. Never satisfied with a simple answer or easy solution, Dr. Malone proposes multiple action plans for a better future. Dr. Malone calls on each of us to find our own solutions, our own ways to resist the control of fascist, corporatist, and totalitarian overlords. If we are to step out of the darkness—toward a world that defends the principles of the Constitution, upholds individual rights, and honors free speech—we all must play a part in the transition. Trade Review“One of the most important things about [Malone] reading out [his] history like that is he is one of the most qualified people in the world to talk about vaccines … I'm very grateful that there's courageous people like [Malone] that do put [their] reputations and [their] careers on the line by speaking out against the stuff when it is very difficult and when [they] do get de-platformed for doing that they know that by censoring [him] they're not just censoring [him]; they're also making others like [him] self-censor.” —JOE ROGAN, The Joe Rogan Experience "A courageous streak of idealism and stubborn integrity pitched Dr. Robert Malone off the giddy heights of the Medical Cartel. Stranded in the wilderness, he has emerged as the most important prophet for medical freedom, public health, and civil rights. If we manage to save democracy, and humanity, Robert Malone will get much of the credit."—ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. “Few people are in a better position than Robert Malone to know what lies the government told us about COVID. And very few are brave enough to expose those lies. Whatever they’re saying about him now, history will record Malone as a hero.”—TUCKER CARLSON "Dr. Robert Malone is among the few courageous doctors and medical researchers who offered us, in his calm and professional way, a science-based second opinion regarding COVID. With contributions from other heroes of the pandemic, this book offers truth that federal health agencies and the media unfortunately failed to provide."­­­—US SENATOR RON JOHNSON, Wisconsin­­ “When our confused and frightened planet was buckling under monolithic government declarations and orders, we needed someone with first-hand expertise and knowledge, someone with integrity and profound courage, to give us clarity and truth. Robert Malone stood up and did that, and these pages tell his story.”—GAVIN DE BECKER, bestselling author of The Gift of Fear “The Administrative State destroyed lives, families, businesses with shutdowns, lockdowns, and mandates related to the CCP/COVID-19 pandemic. When ‘The Vaxx’ and the ‘science’ surrounding it engulfed the Nation and the World, one man, Dr. Robert Malone, came to the forefront in the fight for truth. The Government, Corporate Media and Big Pharma tried to destroy him. This book is the first-person account of a modern day American Hero and Patriot.”­­­­­—STEVE BANNON ​“Dr. Malone’s experiences working in basic science and biodefense, along with his incisive analysis, perceptivity, and clarity of thought, make his book a fascinating read that will leave you in wonder and admiration of the breadth and depth of his insights. The forces he understands so well will continue flexing their influence unless deterred by trustworthy leadership and a resistant public.”—JOSEPH LADAPO, MD, PhD, Florida Surgeon General and author of Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health “Reading this book is a bit like having a surrealistic nightmare, but one you don’t wake up from. Although factual, informative, and not sentimental, the story is blood-curdling—with a magnitude of scandal that defies any imagination. Robert’s deep insights into ‘the system’ leave us with profound disappointment and disdain for all those involved in this crime against humanity, while offering a realistic perspective to our children and grandchildren for a better way forward.” —GEERT VANDEN BOSSCHE, PhD, virologist and vaccine expert, formerly employed at the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) “As the world increasingly wakes up to the realization that great harm has been visited upon humanity, people will be scrambling to understand how this could have ever been possible. I can think of no better guide than Robert Malone. His book offers clear answers and does so with an eloquence and compassion that is Robert’s hallmark. I recommend it to all.”—TESS LAWRIE, MBBCh, PhD, research consultant and director of The Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy. “Essential reading for anyone willing to comprehend the madness we have endured during the past few years.”—PAUL MARIK, MD, former professor of medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School “Dr. Robert Malone’s expertise and knowledge in the fields of vaccinology and infectious disease countermeasure technology is unparalleled. Despite this, he was systemically banned and censored by big tech and the US government for merely sharing his views. His book provides a road map for our nation to reform our crony capitalist society before even more harm results.”—ANDREW G. HUFF, PhD, MS, author of The Truth About Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History “Dr. Malone has deep expertise in the biological sub-disciplines most relevant to COVID-19 science. He also has extensive experience in regulatory affairs and bioethics. He knows how to follow the science to see where it is leading. So, there is no more qualified person on earth to provide insights into what has happened to our world over the past three years than this inventor of mRNA vaccine technology.”—BYRAM W. BRIDLE, PhD, associate professor of viral immunology at the University of Guelph ​“Dr. Malone’s critical thinking skills were honed while working with US military intelligence. His precise analysis of the COVID ‘science’ was not only accurate, but presciently predicted what is now widely accepted. He exposed the lies and fraud of the COVID narrative early on, including during a Joe Rogan podcast that is among the most watched of all time. This book goes further into the truth that attracted those 50 million views.”—DR. MERCOLA, founder of Mercola.com, the most visited natural health site on the internet for the last twenty years “Melding brainpower with compassion and solid values, Robert and Jill Malone stand out among the COVID truth-tellers. They have stayed grounded; they have continued to act with integrity and grace as they led the rest of us toward truth. Now they have the generosity to produce a work like this: a book that tells us exactly where we are, how we got here, and how we can create the world we must now bring into being.”—MERYL NASS, MD “Robert Malone might have been the most influential critical thinker and voice during the corona crisis. He continued to speak out, no matter how much resistance he met.”—MATTIAS DESMET, professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University “Lies My Gov’t Told Me is the Silent Spring of our time—a clarion call from a courageous scientist with impeccable credentials. Dr. Malone demands we confront the very real dangers of a faux vaccine pimped to the American public by unscrupulous Big Pharma companies in collusion with a Fauci-led health care bureaucracy. The new Republican House majority must use its investigatory powers to lay bare these lies and hold those responsible accountable.” —PETER NAVARRO, author, Taking Back Trump’s America “Dr. Robert Malone gives us an essential, captivating, and comprehensive guide to our historical moment, from lockdowns and mRNA vaccines to the administrative state and the game plan to control people via propaganda and groupthink. A scientist who also has deep knowledge of government, history, politics, and psychology, as well as great personal courage, Dr. Malone gives us this page-turning overview of where we are and how to move forward with our humanity intact.”—NAOMI WOLF, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth "In a time when censorship is rank, you should read everything you are told not to read. In particular, there are six words (that you will find in this book) that the stakeholder capitalists do not want you to hear: ‘Defend your sovereignty. Think for yourself.’ I predict that the demagogic designs of the World Economic Forum will fail and that it will be the principles repeated by Malone—'integrity, dignity and community’—that carry the day.” —JESSICA ROSE, PhD, molecular biologist, biochemist, and immunologist “This is the most thorough, truthful, and meaningful book written on the COVID-19 pandemic and all its manifestations. I was fortunate to graduate with honors from Harvard Medical School, which means I met many great and inspirational physicians and teachers. My contact with Robert Malone during the pandemic, and now having read this book, inclines me to place him among those I have most revered in my life and work.”—GEORGE FAREED, MD "As one of the top vaccinology experts, and the inventor of mRNA technology, Dr. Malone was naturally tapped by the government to help in the early stages of the COVID pandemic. When he began to ask hard questions, the fury of censorship and coordinated personal attacks led him on a journey of self-discovery and awakening. This book reveals the truth of the last two-plus years and exposes how our public health institutions really make the sausage.”—ED DOWD, former Black Rock managing director, author of Cause Unknown “An extraordinary and deeply researched tour through the engineered global brainwashing experiment known as the COVID-19 pandemic. Through hard-hitting, data-driven critiques authored by the brightest medical science thinkers of our time, this book bears witness to the true COVID conspiracy unleashed upon the world. If Western medicine is to be salvaged in the aftermath of this worldwide pandemic fraud, it will require an honest reading of this groundbreaking book that, if properly considered, can change the course of the history of medicine. Dr. Robert Malone and all his co-authors are to be applauded for their courage, determination, and passion, telling the unpopular truth in an age of convenient lies.”—MIKE ADAMS, founder, NaturalNews.com and Brighteon.com "Soon after the madness started, I stumbled across Robert Malone in the forest of the online world. His presence, his voice, what he had to say and why, were balm for my troubled soul. Here in this book is the story that explains why this softly spoken man did what he did. He has been true north for so many who felt utterly lost. I have nothing to offer but gratitude."—NEIL OLIVER, author and GB News host “Major crises have an uncanny effect of causing heroes to miraculously emerge, and such is the case of Dr. Robert Malone. COVID has been the biggest avoidable catastrophe in human history, and society owes Dr. Malone huge admiration for dissecting the key issues so succinctly in this book. Over the last three years, he has steadfastly adhered to the scientific facts and translated them into an actionable counter-narrative for use by activists globally—and all despite relentless and utterly unjustified ad hominem attacks. Bravo, Dr. Malone!”—ROGER HODKINSON, MBBCh, pathologist "Robert Malone has courageously lifted his head to help us better understand the corruption within our federal systems. So many myths are being dispelled, thanks to people like Malone and his wife, and the other contributors in this book. They are among the clearest voices saying NO to the fear-mongering, greed, and arrogance of government power."—SEAN STONE, filmmaker and author “ ‘What went wrong?’ In this multidisciplinary tour de force, biomedical industry insider and Renaissance man Dr. Robert Malone challenges his prior worldview to forge a comprehensive, accessible picture of the sheer scale and ubiquity of institutional failure exposed by the pandemic. Building on his own analysis by incorporating essays by key pandemic thinkers (and doers), he ultimately offers a grounded vision for healing and recovery, both societal and personal. Don’t miss this book!”—JAN JEKIELEK, senior editor at Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leaders “This book is a must-read for those who want to understand how difficult it was for Dr. Malone and other rare voices to reveal the truth amid a chaos of lies. Personally, I thank him for helping expose those who tried hard to take healthcare choices away from our citizens.”—JEFF LANDY, Attorney General of Louisiana “If courageously speaking truth to power is a cornerstone of our heritage, then the wisdom and insights in this book should be lauded by us all.”—TAD COFFIN, Olympic gold medalist "To understand the devastation of our times, to comprehend the scale and depth of the emergency that we face, Robert Malone is the leading person in the world you want as your guide. His scintillating book, filled with candid truths only he would know, is a gift to the world—to you, me, and everyone who seeks to understand. For decades, he has been at the center of the arena, as a scientist, intellectual, and moral force. His credentials are impeccable, even legendary—but just as remarkable is his willingness to speak. He could have been like so many others in his echelon of knowledge; he could have joined the junta of control, played along, or just stayed quiet. Something inside this man said, ‘No.’ And his moral compass guided him, same as so many other dissidents today. People who care owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Malone for this literary achievement."—JEFFREY TUCKER, author, founder of the Brownstone Institute “Bristling with timely content and filled with the personal accounts of fellow warriors for truth and medical freedom, Dr. Malone’s in-depth exploration of deceit at a national level exposes the conscious and systematic betrayal of trust that led to an incalculable loss of life and, for many, a loss of faith in the current American system. I share Malone’s passion for educating Americans on the necessity to think for oneself, the power of fear to paralyze a society, and the freedom that comes from living in truth and courage.” —MARK MCDONALD, psychiatrist, author of United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis “Robert Malone has compiled an indispensable compendium of truth, exposing the lies and obfuscation behind our failed and destructive pandemic response. He has been among the most courageous, ethical, and scientifically sound public voices throughout the pandemic. When so many others doctors and scientists stayed silent or ‘went along’ to protect their interests, in the face of enormous pressure to conform and despite malicious opposition, Dr. Malone spoke out. This book should be read by all who want to understand the public health travesty we suffered during COVID, so that we can build a future where humans can once again flourish.”—AARON KHERIATY, psychiatrist, author of The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State ​“A man with a great mind, a deep scientific knowledge and an open heart. Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of the nine original mRNA vaccine patents, which were originally filed in 1989, including both the idea of mRNA vaccines and the original proof of principle experience and RNA transfaction. Dr. Malone has close to a hundred peer reviewed publications, which have been cited over 12,000 times. Since January 2020, Dr. Malone has been leading a large team focused on clinical research, design, drug development, computer modeling, and mechanisms of action for repurpose drugs of the treatment of COVID-19.” —CHRISTOF PLOTHE, World Council for Health, osteopath and researcher "Dr. Robert Malone is a force of nature. His technical expertise and extraordinary experience as a medical doctor, inventor, bureaucratic insider, and public health advocate inform every page of this remarkable book. Robert's exemplary courage makes his story required reading for those who love our country and detest the lies its government has told all of us." —FRANK GAFFNEY, executive chairman of the Center for Security Policy and host of Securing America on Real America’s Voice “Not everyone has the intellectual capacity and the intestinal fortitude to recognize the errors in the government’s narrative, and to do the research, and then speak up about his findings. Thankfully, Dr. Robert Malone does. We should all be grateful he refused to stay silent when he saw the government’s mishandling of its COVID response. He is graced with the ability to take complex subject matter and break it down into language the average person can understand. This book is a must-read!”—JENNY BETH MARTIN, cofounder of the Tea Party Patriots “This book—a must-read—is an essential guide to processing and comprehending the incomprehensible human tragedy and horror of what has occurred during this ‘pandemic,’ and to find some path forward that could lead to a better future for all of us.”—BILL WALTON, host of The Bill Walton Show

Book SynopsisNever before in history have so many humans suffered from depression, anxiety, and stress. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 300 million people struggle with depression - equivalent to 4.4 percent of the world's population, with even more suffering from anxiety and stress. Therefore, it is critical to understand why those of us, especially in prosperous countries with high living standards, continue to get sick, particularly due to work-related stress. Studies have consistently shown purpose and meaningfulness to be essential for performance and mental health in a work place. As a result, human beings are increasingly seeking purpose and meaning in their life. Key to unlocking meaning is the idea that we are all one human being, regardless of the context. It is the purpose of this book to ensure we stop separating our persona into a working human being and private human being, and instead see ourselves as one human being, with one life in one lifetime.

Book SynopsisFound near the small village of Shunga in Russia, the remarkable mineral known as shungite formed naturally more than two billion years ago from living single-cell organisms. Used in Russian healing therapies since the time of Peter the Great, shungite contains almost the entire periodic table of the elements as well as fullerenes, the hollow carbon-based molecules that recent research shows are able to slow both the growth of cancer cells and the development of the AIDS virus. Citing many double-blind scientific and medical studies on shungite, Regina Martino explains its many protective, healing, and detoxifying properties, including its ability to counteract the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields and radiation from computers, cell phones, Wi-Fi, and other electronic devices and appliances. Acting as a natural antioxidant, immune booster, pain reliever, and allergen suppressant, shungite and "shungite water" can be used to treat skin ailments and musculoskeletal diseases, accelerate the healing of cuts and wounds, cleanse internal systems, and increase the body's intake of vital energy. Detailing shungite's many microelements and biologically active substances, Martino reveals how the stones have been proven to purify and revitalize water. Exploring the energetic properties of shungite, she reveals how it facilitates energetic transfers between the chakras and higher energies outside the body and can be used to harmonize living spaces. Truly a marvel of the natural world, shungite offers protection against the perils of our modern technological world and healing for both body and spirit.Trade Review“Regina Martino’s book is unique in the literature of metaphysical stones in that it contains a much higher ratio of science to metaphysics than is frequently the case. Her writing is strong and convincing, her research is fascinating, and the stone she has focused on is certainly powerful and compelling in its own right. Martino takes the reader through chapters dealing with the geography, history, geology, and biology related to shungite as well as what she calls the ‘energetic or practical chapters.’ The result is a fascinating and thorough depiction of the substance and energy of this remarkable new stone. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about this modest-looking but energetically exceptional stone.” * Robert Simmons, author of The Book of Stones and Stones of the New Consciousness and publisher of th *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction My First Encounter with Shungite 1 What Is Shungite? 2 Shungite in History 3 The Origin and Geography of Shungite 4 Shungite and Fullerenes 5 Shungite Properties and Effects on Health: Twenty Years of Russian Research 6 Bioenergetic Research on Shungite 7 Practical Applications 8 Shungite and Other Stones 9 Shungite and Agriculture Conclusion Appendix I Tests: Shungite and Electromagnetic Waves Appendix II Bioelectrographic Tests Using GVD Capture by Stéphane Cardinaux Appendix III Shungite and Electrosensitivity: The Importance of the First Chakra Resources Selected Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisThe best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors. Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels. Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. FactsMyth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease.Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous.Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils. ​Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan.Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke.Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack.Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks.Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life.Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity.Myth: Statin drugs are safe.Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly.Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol.Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.Table of ContentsFOREWORD Chapter 1: Why a New Edition of This Book Was Needed PART ONE Chapter 2: Why You Should Be Skeptical of LDL as an Indicator of Heart Disease Chapter 3: Cholesterol Is Harmless Chapter 4: The Real Deal on Cholesterol Chapter 5: Inflammation and Oxidation PART TWO Chapter 6: Sugar: The Real Demon in the Diet Chapter 7: The Truth About Fat: It’s Not What You Think Chapter 8: The Statin Deception Chapter 9: The Real Cause of Heart Disease PART THREE Chapter 10: Beyond the Mediterranean Diet: What Do I Eat?

Book SynopsisA clarion call to save humanity’s most essential fellow creatures – and our health Far beneath our skin exists an unfathomable, ancient universe – an internal ecosystem that is critical to our health. Dr Martin Blaser invites us into the wilds of the human ‘microbiome’, unfurling its inner workings and evolution. For thousands of years, bacteria and human cells have co-existed in a relationship that has ensured the health and equilibrium of our body. But now, much like the natural world outside of us, our internal environment is being irrevocably destroyed. The culprit: some of our most revered medical advances – antibiotics – which appear to be linked to the epidemics of asthma, eczema, obesity, certain forms of cancer, and other diseases plaguing modern society. In a book that stands as the Silent Spring of its day, Blaser sounds a provocative alarm that we ignore at our peril.Trade Review‘Excellent popular science’ * Independent on Sunday *'Eye-opening' * Observer *‘Very readable… frighteningly convincing’ * New Scientist *'A restless intellect... [Blaser] has devoted most of his working life to the study.' * The New Yorker *'Dr Blaser’s credibility as a world class scientist and physician makes this exploration of our body’s microbial world particularly provocative. Missing Microbes will make you rethink some fundamental ideas about infection. Blaser’s gift is to write clearly and to take the reader on a fascinating journey through the paradoxes and insights about the teeming world within us.' * Abraham Verghese MD, bestselling author of CUTTING FOR STONE *'Most bacteria are our friends even if we don't yet realize it. In this book, Martin Blaser opens a window on the unseen microbes who live with us and have made us their home. We should appreciate them for everything they do for us – including keeping many nasty pathogens at bay. I recommend Missing Microbes to everyone, whether scientist or lay reader. Let’s make peace, not war, with the bacteria who support us.' * Sir Richard J. Roberts, Nobel Prize-winning biologist *‘Unlike some books on medicine and microbes, Dr Blaser doesn’t stir up fears of exotic diseases or pandemic “superbugs” resistant to all known drugs. He focuses on a simpler but more profound concern: the damage that modern life inflicts on a vast number of microbes that all of us, even healthy people, carry inside us at all times.’ * Wall Street Journal *‘In a world that turns to antibiotics for every infection of the ear, sinuses, or skin, Dr Blaser makes even the most nervous parent think twice about giving her child these ubiquitous drugs… Blaser delivers a thoughtful, well-written, and compelling case for why doctors need to be more cautious about prescribing these medications and why consumers should consider alternatives before taking them.’ * Nirav R. Shah MD, MPH, Commissioner of Health, New York State *'I have often wondered why kids today seem to have such a high incidence of asthma, ear infections, allergies, reflux oesophagitis and so many other conditions that I rarely saw growing up. This mystery has been solved by the pioneering work of Dr Martin Blaser and is communicated brilliantly in Missing Microbes. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this book to your own health, to the health of your children and grandchildren and to the health of our society. Missing Microbes is truly a must read.' * Arthur Agatston, New York Times bestselling author of THE SOUTH BEACH DIET *'An engrossing examination of the relatively unheralded yet dominant form of life on Earth.' * Publishers Weekly *'A masterful work of preventive health and superb science writing.' * Booklist *'Fascinating and passionate.' * Bookseller *'We live today in a world of modern plagues, defined by the alarming rise of asthma, diabetes, obesity, food allergies and metabolic disorders. This is no accident, argues Martin Blaser, the renowned medical researcher: the common link being the destruction of vital bacteria through the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Missing Microbes is science writing at its very best—crisply argued and beautifully written, with stunning insights about the human microbiome and workable solutions to an urgent global crisis.' * David M. Oshinsky, Pulitzer prize-winning author of POLIO *‘Blaser presents a sensible plan for reclaiming our microbial balance and avoiding calamity both as a society...and on the individual level.’ * Discover *'Why are you fat, why does your son has asthma, and why is your thireen-year-old daughter six feet tall? Martin Blaser says our bodies are missing vital, beneficial bacteria, and I guarantee that after reading this book you will agree. Take a pass on the antibiotics and read Missing Microbes.' * Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer *‘In Missing Microbes, Martin Blaser sounds [an] alarm. He patiently and thoroughly builds a compelling case that the threat of antibiotic overuse goes far beyond resistant infections.’ * Nature *‘As a world leader in defining the microbiome, Dr Blaser explains how disturbing its natural balance is affecting common conditions such as obesity and diabetes, long thought of as primarily nutrition and lifestyle related problems. Blaser’s carefully and convincingly written book outlines new dimensions that need to be considered in fighting a number of common diseases and in promoting health and well-being.’ * Richard Deckelbaum, Director, Institute of Human Nutrition, Columbia University *

Book SynopsisTrain Like a Superhero"I recommend this book to all personal trainers, training geeks, and people who just want to learn about different training methods and philosophies.” ―JC Santana, author of Functional Training#1 Best Seller in Physical Education and CoachingBody and Brain Training Designed to Unlock Your Amazing Hidden PotentialChange your life. Many of us have forgotten how to move correctly. We live with muscular imbalances, constant pain, and low energy. Adam Sinicki is on a mission to change this. He is best known for his YouTube channel “The Bioneer”, where he provides expertise on functional training, brain training, productivity, flow states, and more.Be better than just functional. Currently, functional training is exercise as rehabilitation. It aims to restore normal, healthy strength and mobility using compound and multi-faceted movements. In Functional Training and Beyond, Adam reveals how to become “better than just functional.” We can improve our physical performance and our mental state. We can train to move better, think more clearly, feel energetic, and live more efficiently.Advanced way to train. Until now working out has had one of two goals─get bigger or get leaner. But why are those the only goals? What if there was a third, practical, healthy and exciting way to train our body and our mind? Learn how we can train our brains just like our bodies, and how to incorporate this into a comprehensive, well-rounded program.Discover: New ways to train body and mind Training for greater mobility, less pain, improved mood, and increased energy The fun of training with kettlebells, calisthenics, clubbells, street workouts, animal moves, handstands, rope climbs, isometrics, and more Fans of Overcoming Gravity, You Are Your Own Gym, The World’s Fittest Book, New Functional Training for Sports, or Calisthenics for Beginners―discover a new and better way to train both your body and mind in Functional Training and Beyond!Table of ContentsChapter 1: What is Functional Training and Why Does it Matter? Chapter Goal: To explain the concept of functional training, and to explain why the big 3 lifts are not sufficient for complete strength. • Who needs functional training (martial artists, athletes, and in my opinion: everyone else) • How our modern lifestyles are ruining our bodies • Skills vs attributes • Recent trends and developments in fitness (movement culture, old time strongmen, MMA, parkour) • Why training the body and mind together is logical Chapter 2: The Science of Hypertrophy and Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter outlines the basic science of building muscle to help lay the foundation for what is to follow. Readers will learn the basics of building muscle and power. • Metabolic stress, muscle damage, and mechanical tension • Progressive overload (and alternatives) • Time under tension and other factors influencing growth • Bodybuilding vs powerlifting (also “powerbuilding”) • Building explosive power (an explanation of muscle fiber types and rate of force development) • A list of effective strength-building exercises Chapter 3: Kettlebells and Alternative Methods for Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce lesser-known methods for developing truly transferrable strength, from old-time strongmen (and modern strongmen), to kettlebell training. Kettlebells help build strength thanks to their offset nature, and constantly changing angles of resistance. Similarly, old time lifts like the bent-press develop stronger obliques. This has huge carry-over for sports and everyday activities. • Old-time strongman lifts for training the missing muscles • Introducing the kettlebell (and clubbell/Indian clubs – with exercises) • Medicine balls, sandbags, battle ropes, and more • The missing link: grip strength (and pinky strength!) • How overcoming isometrics develop super-human strength (with explanation of muscle fiber recruitment) • Quasi isometrics • Hybrid exercises Chapter 4: Just Move: An Introduction to Movement Training Chapter Goal: This chapter will serve as an overview of the emerging movement culture, providing introductions to animal walks, training outdoors, and more. It will show you how to naturally increase range of motion, to eradicate stiffness, and regain child-like exuberance. • Get outdoors (why training outside is beneficial, an explanation of movements like MovNat) • Barefoot running and developing foot strength • Move like an animal (an introduction to animal walks) • Proprioception and balance • Why animals don’t warm up (pandiculation and “incidental training”) • Developing mobility Chapter 5: Handbalancing and Advanced Calisthenics Chapter Goal: This chapter is a natural progression from the last, explaining hand-balancing and gymnastics, along with movements such as gymnastic strength training. Straight arm strength is one example of a crucial aspect of strength that is overlooked by mainstream health and fitness. This can unlock amazing skills like planche and handstands, which will be explained here. • How to build muscle with bodyweight • An introduction to hand-balancing • Straight arm strength explained • Hollow body and core strength • Gymnastics rings, dip bars, parallettes, and other tools • Advanced calisthenics moves explained • Training for parkour • Training for martial arts Chapter 6: Maximizing Endurance Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce concepts like HIIT, work capacity, steady state cardio, and more. Readers will learn how to increase fitness with long runs or short intense circuits. They’ll also learn how this translates to better performance in the gym, and how to go even further with advanced techniques like breath training. • How to increase fitness with steady state cardio • Introducing HIIT (it’s trendier and has many advantages, but doesn’t entirely replace LISS as we will see here) • Metabolic conditioning and resistance cardio • Work capacity and strength endurance • Advanced methods for increasing VO2 max (including lung training, threshold runs, breathing techniques etc.) Chapter 7: The Mind Muscle Connection Chapter Goal: This chapter will explain the intimate connection between the body and mind and why training them together makes a lot of sense. It will also discuss some specific strategies for improving mental performance, which can likewise enhance your training. • How we think with our bodies (this works in several ways, but I’m particularly excited to discuss embodied cognition – a fascinating and relatively new psychological theory). • How movement unlocks the learning potential of the brain (learning new movements is fantastic for brain plasticity) • Muscle control (how old-time strongmen and golden-era bodybuilders gained greater control over individual muscles and how this is beneficial for max strength) • Accelerate skill acquisition • Reflexes, working memory, and attention • Motivation, discipline, and mental toughness • Meditation for optimal performance Chapter 8: Recovery and Refueling Chapter Goal: Training on its own is not enough. Just as important is the rest and recovery phase, along with proper nutrition. This book won’t go into great depth regarding nutrition, but will provide some basics such as the importance of micronutrients, how to gain/lose weight, and advice on protein consumption. • Nutrition basics: weight loss, weight gain, and supporting your training • Why you aren’t losing/gaining weight • The importance of sleep and how to optimize it • Bulletproof: how to prevent injury • Avoiding overtraining and burnout • SuperFunctional supplement – what do you really need? • More lifestyle factors for optimum recovery Chapter 9: Programming and Overcoming the Interference Principle Chapter Goal: This book introduces lots of concepts and different training methods. The interference principle suggests that combining multiple training methodologies can result in diminishing returns. This chapter provides information on basic programming for any type of training, as well as explanations for the program that will be introduced in the final chapter. It also provides tips on how to set goals, overcome setbacks etc. • How to write a training program: cycles, frequency, and goals • Full body vs PPL vs Bro Splits (and a fourth option) • How to overcome the interference principle • Concurrent training • Dealing with setbacks and fitting training around your schedule. Chapter 10: Your Program for Complete Functional Fitness: The Protean System Chapter Goal: The book ends with a detailed training program that combines everything discussed in previous chapters. It also outlines a new strategy for combining isometric, explosive, and high-rep training in each routine that I call the “Protean System.” The program also incorporates exercises for cognitive performance. There will be a recap on diet, deload weeks, and mobility. • Conclusion and words of encouragement

Book SynopsisIt all started with a Hob Nob. As Dr Matt Morgan, an intensive care consultant, examined a patient who had suffered a cardiac arrest after inhaling some biscuit crumbs, he saw a flock of birds fly past the window. They must inhale objects all the time when flying, how do they survive? he thought to himself. This began an investigation that spanned continents, species and millennia.   For animal science has so much to teach us about human medicine. While some of the overlaps and parallels are obvious – we know how much DNA we share with primates, the first pig heart has been transplanted into a human – there is so much more that we have learnt from the animal world.
