How do we bridge the chasm between the world of mainstream science and the world of spirit? This books shows that the chasm is an artifact of Descartes' deal with the Inquisition. By applying quantum principles to the life sciences, we see that thoughts and feelings are our connection to the world of knowing and influence across space and time. The world of spirit and intuition is just as real as the world of atomic accelerators and biochemical laboratories. Capabilities that have been disallowed by science or relegated to the realm of practitioners of alternative arts are now available to anyone wants to access the non-material world. Distance healing, intuitive knowing and divination can now be embraced by mainstream science under the new paradigm of quantum life. Doug Bennett applies the principles of quantum mechanics to life, the holographic nature of thought and feeling, to establish the divinity of humans and the humanity of god. This book will appeal to people who think about t

In a truthful tale set solidly in a foundation of analytical psychology, esoteric Buddhism and personal/ transpersonal memoir, this is a story of dreams and dreaming, spiritual quest, discernment and correct creative action. The tale unfolds across continents and over many years of study in a remote mountain temple in the very "other" culture of present day Buddhist Japan. In working with a series of unexpected dreams and events, an American Jungian therapist seeks the elusive path that will integrate her Eastern and Western minds. Leaving her home, extended family and work in California, she travels to Kyoto and ultimately, to the ancient mountain home of esoteric Buddhist practice known as Koyasan. Her journey in Japan continues for more than a decade. During those years of study and practice, she comes face to face with a multitude of cultural, spiritual and mindset issues that challenge everything she had thought of as being obvious, true, given, and unassailable. Turned upside down, she labors to develop a new and more inclusive sense of self and ultimately, a deeper sense of Self. Her journey mirrors the journeys of many modern men and women who work to integrate seemingly disparate aspects of personality, dual cultures and multiple spiritual paths.

The simplest and most successful way to shed excess weight -- 3 to 5 pounds a week -- without the restrictions of the Simeons Pounds and Inches HCG diet.   The author debunks the myths of the 500-calorie Simeons Diet and the outdated protocols that are difficult to understand and practically impossible to follow.   This book eases the calorie restriction to 700 calories a day, which is healthier in the long run and allows far easier compliance without sacrificing the psychologically satisfying reward of rapid weight reduction.   It also eliminates the complex phase system and, for those who need to stay on the program for several months, allows small breaks without abandoning the diet and  weight shedding altogether.  It also encourages the use of supplements (including fish oil) and skin care creams without compromising the effectiveness of the diet.    Based on her personal experience and with a unique sense of humor and compassion, Barnes helps you navigate the pitfalls and stay the course for major and permanent weight control.

The United States is on the verge of a health crisis of monumental proportions. We have virtually eradicated polio, measles and other devastating diseases, made childbirth significantly safer for both mothers and infants and saved countless lives with antibiotics. Likewise, we have dramatically lower rates of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, rheumatic fever, influenza and periodontal disease – meaning that today’s children, unlike their peers 70 years ago, can expect to survive beyond than their first few years. However, these and other impressive medical victories are now being undermined by a bevy of other health problems, many of our own making. For the first time, children born today are likely to have a shorter lifespan than their parents, thanks to damage that will be wrought by the terrible trio of obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. We know that our health problems are pandemic. The rates of obesity, diabetes, environmentally-related cancers and dementia are skyrocketing. We live in a toxic world where our bodies are continuously assaulted with toxic chemicals, food additives and even electromagnetic pollution. Even as our bodies are burdened with an increasingly greater toxic burden, we are less able to defend ourselves against their assault, weakened as we are by the Standard American Diet (SAD). And now we are exporting this unhealthful way of eating to the rest of the world. Ironically, most of the diseases that plague us in the 21st century are associated with excess consumption, specifically heart disease, diabetes, obesity, many forms of cancer and even Alzheimer’s. Excess intake of white flour, sugar, other refined carbohydrates and trans fats is the culprit that robs us of our health, stamina and lifespan. Nutrition continues to be the stepchild of the medical establishment, which focuses instead on treating illness after the fact, usually with expensive drugs, each with its long list of side effects, rather than prevention. This is despite the fact that statistics published by the American Medical Association show that 73 percent of all diseases are directly related to nutrition. Two driving forces in Dr. Salerno’s life have come together in this book. First, in understanding of the role that environmental factors play in our health and second in the knowledge that nutritionally-based medicine can help remedy the situation in concert with changing our polluting habits. Dr. Salerno’s understanding of the healing power of nutritious food and the health risks inherent in refined and processed foods was honed as he worked side by side with the late, great Dr. Robert C. Atkins. Many of his long-term patients are now Dr. Salerno's patients and he can see the impact that his dietary approach has had on their health. Many are getting on in years and are still remarkably vigorous and free of disease – due no doubt, to decades of following his low-carb, high-nutrient protocol, all clinically validated in their medical records. This book offers simple, but profound changes you can make in your daily life so that you can dramatically boost your chances for remaining — or becoming — healthy, despite the toxic soup in which we stew. Against such a challenge, three squares and a daily multivitamin won’t give you the defensive edge you need. The Salerno Solution includes a proactive approach to nutrition based on a low-carbohydrate, low-glycemic diet, fortified with nutritional supplements targeted to strengthen your immune system, reduce inflammation and destroy free radicals that cause dangerous oxidization. Dr. Salerno's other book, The Fighting Fat With Fat Diet makes an excellent companion to this book.

If you believe that bones are made of calcium, you have subscribed to The Calcium Lie. You’re not alone. Most consumers and, surprisingly, most doctors, believe that bones are made of calcium. Yet any basic biochemistry textbook will tell you the truth: Bones are made of at least a dozen minerals and we need all of them in perfect proportions in order to have healthy bones and healthy bodies. If you get too much calcium, through food sources or by taking supplements, you set yourself up for an array of negative health consequences, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, Type 2 hypothyroidism, hypertension, depression, problem pregnancies and more. This is the second edition of the calcium Lie, updated, expanded and with greater in-depth explanation of the medical problems that can be caused by mineral imbalances and solid strategies to correct them. This book gives you all the information you need to stay healthy and to regain your health if you or your doctor have been duped by The Calcium Lie.
