Chelsea Green Publishing Co It's All in Your Mouth: Biological Dentistry and
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. An essential for anyone looking to reach their performance potential!”—Dr. Marc Bubbs, ND, MSc, CISSN, CSCS, author of Peak

Frog Ltd Vision for Life, Revised Edition: Ten Steps to
Book SynopsisAll parts of the body need exercise for optimal health, and the eyes are no different. Vision for Life presents an approach to eye health for people with 20/20 vision who wish to maintain their perfect vision as well as people who see poorly and would like to improve their eyesight. Clients of the Meir Schneider Self-Healing Method experience their own capacity to bring about recovery, reversing the progress of a wide range of degenerative conditions including eye disease. Based in part on the established Bates Method of eyesight improvement and in part on his own professional and personal discoveries, Meir Schneider''s pioneering approach has helped thousands of people successfully treat a host of eye problems, including near- and farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and nystagmus. This revised edition includes a new chapter on children''s eye health and new research and exercises for specific conditions, i.e., glaucoma and nystagmus, near- and farsightedness. Born blind to deaf parents, Schneider underwent a series of painful operations as a young child and was left with 99 percent scar tissue on the lenses of his eyes, resulting in his being declared incurably blind. At the age of seventeen, he discovered how to improve his vision from less than 1 percent to 55 percent of normal vision with the eye exercises presented in this book. Today Schneider drives a car, reads, and enjoys the benefits of full natural vision. He and his clients prove time and time again how much vision can improve with exercise. His contributions to the field of self-healing are recognized by alternative health practitioners and medical doctors alike. In Vision for Life, Schneider shares forty years of discoveries made on his personal and professional journey. The book details simple but effective techniques to gain great vision such as sunning and palming. Such exercises are not only strengthening but also restorative and deeply relaxing. The reader learns how to reverse developing issues before they cause damage or to remedy existing problems, including pathologies such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and optic nerve neuropathy.

The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook goes well beyond nutrition and provides the missing link that the chronic illness community is desperately seeking so that they can get back to living a vibrant, healthy life.Trade Review"The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook will help you understand exactly what steps to take to help you achieve health and wellness.

If you or a loved one suffers from autoimmunity, and aren’t sure where to begin--START HERE.”--Russ Crandall, The New York Times bestselling author of Paleo Takeout and The Ancestral Table“It is normal to meet an autoimmune diagnosis with a tremendous sense of confusion, loss, and betrayal, and the information overwhelm can leave the initiate tumbling in its wake.

The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook is an elegant and encouraging guide that not only succinctly reviews the nuts and bolts of autoimmune disease management, but also leads you through an often tumultuous inner journey with loving wisdom.

Like all of life’s best rewards, autoimmune management is hard won. But, as this handbook shows you, the autoimmune journey can also be an enriching path to a more authentic you.”--Dr. Datis Kharrazian, author of Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? and Why Isn’t My Brain Working?

This is a classical system first written down in the sixth centruy. Originally, the practice was a breathing exercise using the six sounds but later body movements were added to the practice. The book and DVD give the most comprehensive description of how to make the sounds correctly. There are very specific instructions on how to position the mouth, teeth and tongue and, of course, you hear the correct sound on the DVD. The DVD is very professionally and beautifully done and is one of the best that I have seen. The practitioners demonstrating the forms are clearly very experienced and are excellent models to follow. -- Medical Qigong Education Centre

In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment.

Chelsea Green Publishing Co The Case against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste
Book SynopsisWhen the U.S. Public Health Service endorsed water fluoridation in 1950, there was little evidence of its safety. Now, six decades later and after most countries have rejected the practice, more than 70 percent of Americans, as well as 200 million people worldwide, are drinking fluoridated water. The Center for Disease Control and the American Dental Association continue to promote it--and even mandatory statewide water fluoridation--despite increasing evidence that it is not only unnecessary, but potentially hazardous to human health. In this timely and important book, Dr. Paul Connett, Dr. James Beck, and Dr. H. Spedding Micklem take a new look at the science behind water fluoridation and argue that just because the dental and medical establishments endorse a public health measure doesn't mean it's safe. In the case of water fluoridation, the chemicals that go into the drinking water that more than 180 million people drink each day are not even pharmaceutical grade, but rather a hazardous waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry. It is illegal to dump this waste into the sea or local surface water, and yet it is allowed in our drinking water. To make matters worse, this program receives no oversight from the Food and Drug Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency takes no responsibility for the practice. And from an ethical standpoint, say the authors, water fluoridation is a bad medical practice: individuals are being forced to take medication without their informed consent, there is no control over the dose, and no monitoring of possible side effects. At once painstakingly documented and also highly readable, The Case Against Fluoride brings new research to light, including links between fluoride and harm to the brain, bones, and endocrine system, and argues that the evidence that fluoridation reduces tooth decay is surprisingly weak.Trade ReviewWise Traditions- “The insanity of intentional water fluoridation is examined from every angle in this book. International law forbids dumping fluoride waste into the sea but it is accepted in American drinking water. As stated in the toothpaste disclaimer above, the FDA officially considers fluoride to be a drug. This drug has never been approved by the FDA. Contaminating drinking water with fluoride can be most charitably characterized as an experiment which violates the Nuremburg Code prohibiting experimental human treatment without informed consent. China, India, Japan and most of Europe do not fluoridate their water. Toward the end of the book the authors pull out one of my all-time favorite quotes from the late Michael Crichton. ‘Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled … The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus . . . There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.’ THUMBS UP.”Choice Magazine- Water fluoridation is a major controversy pitting prevention (dental caries) against ethics (involuntary drug exposure). Connett (emer., St. Lawrence Univ.), Beck (emer., Univ. of Calgary), and Micklem (emer., Univ. of Edinburgh) present compelling but not always convincing arguments for discontinuing fluoridation. They emphasize systemic treatment's low efficacy, alternative preventive approaches, the public's involuntary exposure, and potential toxicity. Although not uniquely American, water fluoridation is more popular in the US than in most countries. If ingestion of fluoride were very effective in preventing caries, the authors would still argue against the practice on ethical grounds. Six parts cover ethical arguments, lack of evidence of efficacy, the policy gamble, toxicity, the precautionary principle, and vested interests. Some inconsistencies are evident. The book emphasizes uncertainties in epidemiologic studies of efficacy, but deemphasizes uncertainties in toxicity reports, creating an imbalance appropriate for a polemic but not for a scientific treatise. Fluoridation advocates will interpret this as evidence that the antifluoridation point of view is exaggerated, whereas sympathetic readers will find their resolve strengthened. Alternatives such as fluoride supplements exist, but would not reach the poor populations that need them. This is a thought-provoking work for students of environmental policy and public health. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students; general readers. Booklist, Starred Review- "On the eve of the new millennium, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), listed water fluoridation as one of the twentieth-century’s 10 greatest public-health achievements. Yet according to the authors of this painstakingly researched exposé of fluoridation’s overall ineffectiveness and toxicity, endorsements such as these from the CDC and other health organizations are motivated more by face-saving politics than credible research. Fluoridation advocates who have previously branded detractors as conspiracy theorists and shills for “junk science” will be hard pressed to debunk the hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and sound scientific reasoning presented here. In demonstrating fluoridation’s ineffectiveness, the authors cite exhaustive evidence proving fluoride’s only benefits are topical, as in toothbrushing, as opposed to swallowing. But the case against fluoride’s alleged safety, even in small doses, is more alarming, with multiple studies showing fluoride’s probable complicity in lowered intelligence scores, thyroid dysfunction, hip fractures, and the ominously rising incidence of osteosarcoma in boys. The authors’ academic, hyperbole-free writing style serves them well in marshaling a series of facts that, all by themselves, expose fluoridation as a false panacea. It remains to be seen, however, whether the public-health community will give this landmark work due credit or continue to rubber stamp an outdated policy that, like bloodletting and trepanation, properly belongs on the scrap heap of sham medical interventions."American Academy of Environmental Medicine Newsletter- “At once painstakingly-documented and also highly-readable, The Case Against Fluoride brings new research to light, including links between fluoride and harm to the brain, bones, and kidneys, and argues that while there is possible value in topical applications like brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, the evidence that swallowing fluoride reduces tooth decay is surprisingly weak. The Case Against Fluoride doesn't question the good intentions of dentists who support fluoridation, but rather explores the poor science, bizarre tactics, biased reviews, and puzzling motivations of a relatively small number of influential people who continue to push this practice on a largely ill-informed public.”"Sweden rejected fluoridation in the 1970s and, in this excellent book, these three scientists have confirmed the wisdom of that decision. Our children have not suffered greater tooth decay, as World Health Organization figures attest, and in turn our citizens have not borne the other hazards fluoride may cause. In any case, since fluoride is readily available in toothpaste, you don't have to force it on people."--Arvid Carlsson, Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology (2000) and Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology, University of Gothenburg"Alfred North Whitehead said the scientific method means leaving 'options open for revision.' An ancient Roman adage says that 'whatever touches all must be approved by all.' These characterizations of science and democracy are the reasons for reading this book. Especially if you and your family are drinking administratively mandated fluoridated water."--Ralph Nader "This book clearly shows that water fluoridation is poor public policy and must end. As a concerned citizen, I applaud the authors for bringing this issue to the world's attention."--Ed Asner "For anyone who has ever wondered why cities add fluoride to water-and questioned whether they should. Written with clear and easy-to-read prose, and supporting citations, The Case Against Fluoride carefully lays out the arguments against fluoridation and reasons why it should be discontinued. The authors examine the evidence on fluoridation and conclude convincingly that it should now be considered 'harmful and ineffective.'"--Dr. Hardy Limeback, Professor and Head of Preventative Dentistry, University of TorontoTable of ContentsPart 1.

Chelsea Green Publishing Co Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of
Book Synopsis'Farber [is] a lucid and courageous witness to the power-play behind the first "scamdemic," . . . [Her] work is journalism at its best—solid, lucid, and humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right them.' —Mark Crispin Miller, bestselling author and professor of media studies at NYU On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared, 'The probable cause of AIDS has been found.' By the next day, 'probable' had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as 'the AIDS virus.' Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS. She reported on the 'evidence' that was being continually cited and repeated by health officials and the press, the deadliness of AZT, and Dr. Fauci’s trials on children, infants, and pregnant mothers. Throughout, Faber’s reportage was largely ignored. She was maligned, maliciously attacked, and ultimately cancelled. Now, forty years after her original reporting, Farber’s Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS is reissued with a new foreword by Mark Crispin Miller, shining much-needed light on her groundbreaking work once again. More relevant than ever, this book serves as an essential foundation to understanding its catastrophic sequel: COVID-19. Serious Adverse Events makes clear that the tactics employed at the height of HIV/AIDS—the fearmongering, cancel culture, and “woke” takeover of science, medicine, and journalism—persist today. The response to COVID-19 isn’t new: it is a well-trod and dangerous path in the social landscape. 'Groundbreaking work.'—Bob Guccione, Jr., founder of SPIN magazineTrade Review“I was astonished to discover Celia Farber’s work on the lost history of AIDS, including her extraordinarily troubling investigation of Dr. Fauci’s murderous experiments on children. Farber’s research gives context to the Covid catastrophe, which she all but predicted. Despite the medical cartel’s brutal crusade to silence and vilify her, Farber never compromised. I have found no missteps in her analysis, and I’m happy she has lived to experience her own utter vindication. I also love her writing style.”—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.“Celia Farber gives us journalism as it was before its untimely demise, digging deep, bravely taking on the most glorified sacred cows of our time. Remember when there were at least two sides to every story? Celia lives that truth and takes us along on her journey.”—Gavin de Becker, author of The Gift of Fear; security specialist“If you want to understand the real history of AIDS and why it mattered, Celia Farber is the main journalist who bore witness to it all, and took the blows accordingly. Her book is essential reading.”—Vera Sharav, Holocaust survivor, founder of AHRP (Association of Human Research Protections)“Celia Farber is the most insightful and authoritative investigative journalist on the subject of AIDS. No one has better documented the real story behind this phenomenon: the tragic human toll and the collateral damage exacted by a greedy, unethical, and vengeful medical and activist mafia cartel. Until they came after me, under Anthony Fauci’s silent order, I would never have believed it. The global AIDS apparatus is driven by lies, violence, and a perversion of the good.”—Jonathan Fishbein, MD, NIAID and DAIDS federal whistleblower“When you read this book—and you must—you venture into the world of a major writer, Celia Farber, and you meet mysteries you’ve never encountered before. The facts themselves are clear and undeniable, but what Celia does with them brings you to another planet, which is Earth as it should be. Where the truth is not only seen but felt. That’s the mystery. That’s what a great writer can do. You’re there. You’re walking beside her, and you wonder how you could have avoided this place for so long. When this is the place you’ve wanted to be.”—Jon Rappoport, author of The Matrix Revealed; editor, NoMoreFakeNews.com“Celia Farber isn’t just any journalist. Farber is unique, one who is, I believe, gifted by God with an entirely novel mettle. I first contacted her in 1997 as an untenured nurse academic starting my doctoral research on HIV/AIDS. As an openly gay man I’d also worked in self-help services and seen first-hand the destructive imposition of AIDS ideology on the human psyche. After reading her ‘Words from the Front’ columns published in SPIN magazine, I was naturally drawn to Farber, both personally and professionally. Farber’s investigative journalism consistently revealed what many of us across the health sciences and community services already sensed was highly sinister about HIV/AIDS ‘science’ but lacked Farber’s keen instinct to articulate. Farber uniquely exposed the disabling psychological impacts and the corrupt essence of the HIV/AIDS medical-industrial complex via her total immersion in both its science and politics. We now see how Farber’s HIV/AIDS work, originally brought together in 2006 in the first publication of Serious Adverse Events, taught us something crucial to the Covid Plandemic: HIV/AIDS was not an isolated case of science ‘gone wrong.’ It laid the foundation for the totalitarian mindset emanating like a Biblical evil from the allopathic industrial complex. Its perverse ideology has corrupted compassionate health care while continuing to fatally misdirect many well-intentioned clinicians. I highly recommend this republication of Serious Adverse Events to a new generation of readers so they too can become familiar with the important work of Celia Farber.”—Kevin Corbett, PhD

Chelsea Green Publishing Co The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing The Great
Book SynopsisMultiple New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins, founder and director of the Organic Consumers Association, team up to expose the truth—and end the madness—about COVID-19. Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events—a global pandemic caused by what appears to be an engineered coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes. We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic systems and institutions, but by public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and panic. In The Truth About COVID-19, Dr. Mercola and Cummins reveal new and emerging evidence that: The SARS-CoV-2 virus was, indeed, lab-engineered and emerged from a negligently managed bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China The global pandemic was long anticipated by global elites who have used it to facilitate and hide the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history PCR testing, case counts, morbidity, and vaccine safety and efficacy data have been widely manipulated and misrepresented Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are known to worsen COVID-19 outcomes, but the junk food industry continues to push its agenda at the expense of public health Safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment and prevention for COVID-19 have been censored and suppressed to create a clear path for vaccine acceptance Effectiveness of the vaccines has been wildly exaggerated and major safety questions have gone unanswered The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that, together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy, and freedom. The time is now for a global awakening. As Dr. Mercola and Cummins remind us, this is the fight of our lives.Trade Review"The most mind-blowing book I've read lately."—Ben Greenfield, New York Times bestselling author

Columbia University Press Getting Risk Right
Book SynopsisAn incisive look at some of today's most contested health risksboth real and illusory.Trade ReviewGeoffrey Kabat's vital, wide-ranging book cannot have arrived at a more fortuitous time. As individuals and societies, we are constantly asked to gauge risks-and we often do so hastily or irrationally, with grave consequences. In Getting Risk Right, Kabat provides a crucial framework to think about risks, biases, and judgment. Everyone should read his analysis-at once clear-eyed, thoughtful, and beautifully written-to understand the nature of risk. I cannot overstate the importance of this book. -- Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies Some risks are real, while others are much feared and speculated about, but of no portent. This important book by Geoffrey Kabat shows how the science of studying risks can lead to major discoveries that can improve the lives of millions by identifying and validating risks that do matter; or can ruin lives by propagating spurious, nonexistent risks in the public mind and in the scientific literature. Getting Risk Right carefully surveys a scientific field that is often the topic of hot debate and offers a balanced presentation. It is a fascinating read. -- John Ioannidis, professor of medicine and health research and policy, Stanford University Zika, Ebola, vaccines, dioxin, radon, black mold, environmental toxins. The media constantly bombards us with stories about unseen agents causing insidious harms. In Getting Risk Right, Geoffrey Kabat uses four case studies-BPA, cell phones, the HPV vaccine, and dietary supplements-to teach us not only whether these products are harmful but also how to grade information. Using Kabat's method, readers will be able to determine whether the next media-infused risk is a real one. Filled with cartoons, case histories, literary references, and fascinating asides, Getting Risk Right is the last book you will ever need to read on this subject. -- Paul A. Offit, author of Autism's False Prophets Geoffrey Kabat's writing, as usual, is phenomenally clear and expressive. His logical cadences are both airtight and a pleasure to read. His insights into the workings and mis-workings of science, the sociology of science, and the interplay of personalities and organizations are penetrating and precise, and above all original. -- Steven D. Stellman, professor of clinical epidemiology, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health What matters most? How can we use scientific findings intelligently to set our public priorities? Through engaging anecdotes, and a clear-eyed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of scientific work, Getting Risk Right helps us answer those questions. Perhaps more importantly, Dr. Kabat enhances our understanding of how science leads to action, and how we can better use science to inform a more rational and productive public agenda. -- Sandro Galea, Dean, Boston University School of Public Health An important study that teaches how to decipher science and medical news. Library Journal It is not easy feat to take complex issues and make them both understandable, easily readable and interesting, but Kabat does just that in Getting Risk Right. For people who are trying to sort through the deluge of conflicting information that we see every day, this book is a must. -- Josh Bloom American Council on Science and Health Kabat writes clearly, but his discussions of association, causality and toxicology are, at times, a bit technical for the general reader. More intriguing - and more unique, in my experience - is his insider's dissection of the psychology of how environmental studies are funded, reported and interpreted by their authors and by various audiences.
