        Winning the War on Cancer

        The Epic Journey Towards a Natural Cure

        by Sylvie Beljanski

        President Nixon declared the War on Cancer in 1971. 45 years and billions of dollars later, it looks like we have lost the battle. Or have we? When a natural, non-toxic way to fight cancer is discovered, it is big news in the scientific community. But instead of being embraced, it is fiercely opposed by those tied to the pharmaceutical industry. Research by the late Mirko Beljanski, PhD,—one of the first green molecular biologists—revealed that natural molecules can selectively target cancer cells and work alongside many chemotherapy drugs. Called upon by President Mitterrand of France to treat his prostate cancer, Beljanski allowed Mitterand to reach his second term in office; but upon the president’s death, the scientist became the subject of relentless persecution. This book, written through the eyes of Dr. Beljanski’s daughter, Sylvie, tells the true story of one woman’s quest to carry on her father’s legacy and to discover a new treatment for cancer. The book combines scientific information with a tale of defiance, hope, despair, personal growth and love.

        Boost Your Immune Power with Ayurveda

        by Janesh Vaidya

        Traditional knowledge for the modern world providing tools to strengthen our immunity by simple adjustments in our daily life.With the current world situation in mind traditional Ayurveda practitioner, author and lecturer Janesh Vaidya has written a book specifically targeting the rapidly heightened interest in strengthening the immune system with natural solutions. According to Ayurveda, one of the most ancient health sciences in the world, our body is composed with five elements, and among them agni (the fire element) is controlling our immune system, protecting our body from the attack of external pathogenic microorganism such as bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites. The immune power varies from person to person, and depends not only on the person’s birth dominating elements, but also the age and season dominating elements. Without understanding these natural influences on our body in different stages of life, if we follow a general lifestyle, our agni, as well as the other elements, gets into a state of imbalance that weakens our immune system.By looking at these natural facts through the window of Ayurveda, and correcting them with personalised food and lifestyle programs, one can balance the elements in the body and maintain maximum health and immunity in all ages and seasons.The format makes the book easy to follow - even beginners are able to get straight into the practice via an easy self-test. BOOST YOUR IMMUNE POWER WITH AYURVEDA contains all you need to know to start using Ayurveda to strengthen your immune system through simple lifestyle adjustments to match your current body and mind type.

        Organwesen - Das Kartenset

        by Ewald Kliegel

        Spirit of the Organs Cards56-card deck and book ➤ A great new way to access the spirit of our organs➤ A valuable aid for diagnosis and healing➤ Discover the organs in their essence In their first book ‘Let Your Body Speak’, Ewald Kliegel and Anne Heng gave us a guide to accessing the essence of our internal organs. With this card deck, we can deepen our connection to the spirit of the organs and their diverse interplay, opening up a great new way to access the organs on a physical, mental and spiritual level. In a healthy body, the internal organs work together harmoniously like the musicians in an orchestra. We only become aware of this when one of the organs becomes out of kilter, at which point we try to understand the reason in order for it to resume its rhythm. However, this is not enough, since each of our organs is part of the whole complex body system. By looking at what happens between the organs we can achieve an overall picture of healthand illness.The 56 cards in the pack allow us to see the ‘bigger picture’ as a whole in the sense of a well-founded psychosomatic and spiritual overall view. Ewald Kliegel developed the idea of the cards from his 40 years of experience in treating patients. Anne Heng's cards are masterpieces of intuitive painting and convey information that addresses the internal organs at an unconscious level. This allows amateurs and holistic health practitioners in particular to shed light on a diverse range of illnesses and health topics and to develop strategies from stressful situations. The cards can also be used as a diagnostic tool to provide clues to latent disorders that could lead to illness. In the accompanying book, eight techniques for laying out the cards are described in an accessible way. The possible spreads range from a simple ’daily profile‘ to the ‘health generator’ and ‘organ position’ (corresponding to family constellations) to the ‘health matrix‘, as a multi-layered overall body image.The card images also unlock unconscious soul-senses that lie hidden and with which we are not only able to see the pure function of the organs, but at the same time their inner essence. This leads to a completely new dimension of body awareness.

        21st century witch

        Practical manual for the urban sorceress.

        by Circle of Urban Sorceresses.

        Heal the body, Raise energy, Restore spirit and foster love. To begin to understand what a witch or sorceress was and what is, it will be necessary to empty your mind of certain horrible images that, surely, have been engraved on it. Yes: culture in all its forms has been in charge of making us a very bad reputation and a worse aspect. But it is time to change that. It is time to begin to understand what a witch or sorceress really is. She is a woman capable of moving energies for or against something, of mastering the vibrations of the universe to obtain a specific goal. He is a person who can move and interact - and, in fact, he does - comfortably between the terrestrial plane and the celestial kingdom, becoming a kind of "human bridge" between both energetic strata. He is someone who is aware that good and evil are manifestations of the same cosmic energy and has in his hands the power to tip the balance to one side or the other.

With different ages and life stages, changes in illness and physique, or changes in the living environment, the health preservation method needs to be adjusted continuously. Even if you have tried a good health preservation method, it may not be suitable for a lifetime. The needs vary from time to time, from place to place, and from person to person.   The traditional health health preservation is divided into three levels. Most people’s health health preservation is at the middle and lower levels. This can help speed up recovery and prevent diseases, but if you wish to live an ultimate healthy life and completely cure the disease, you need to master the whole concept of health preservation method: The Supreme Health Preservation Method.   The Supreme Health Preservation Method advocated by Dr. Lee focuses on how to correctly “use your body”, including three major categories: lifestyle, diet, and emotions. Behind each method are years of medical research plus the experiments so that Dr. Lee would share with his readers.   The 50 simple and actionable exercises for the supreme health preservation and they are all basic skills for living in daily life: Wash your hair with only water is healthier. Practice abdominal breathing to keep the five internal organs healthy. Eating meat causes weakness, practice vegetarian diet for 21 days. Being in a daze every day is necessary.   Many diseases occur and spread because of using the body in the wrong way! The Supreme Health Preservation Method is to maintain health, carefully deconstruct the techniques of using the body, so that your body, mind and soul are raised together.

        Diététique chinoise

        nourrir la vie

        by Isabelle Laading

        Chinese Nutrition, To Nourish Life The art of eating is one of the main principles of Chinese Civilisation.  Chinese nutrition has been consistent for the past 2000 years and is founded upon unchangeable laws that preside over life: Dynamism, Adaptation and Transformation.  Eating to preserve or recuperate good health simply requires following these laws, taking into account the specific properties of the foodstuffs we eat and how they are prepared in terms of their energetic flow. Isabelle Laading, also author of the book, The Five Seasons of Energy, has been recognised and appreciated for over twenty years now and offers in this new book a pedagogical approach to traditional Chinese nutrition.  After explaining the main concepts of this system, she gives the reader practical means to use them in designing and preparing menus, urging us not so much to radically change our way of eating, but rather to learn to adapt it to our needs. The author has been as painstaking with making principles clear as she has in breaking down a several-thousand-year-old art, which is why her first book, Five Seasons of Energy was so successful.   In this book, she delivers, with the same exigence,  the fruits of her long experience, practices and teachings of traditional health arts that span 45 years of her life and include: Yoga, Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Acupuncture, Chinese nutrition and phytotherapy, all of which she graciously shares here with her readers.
