Why We Get Sick

Health, Mind & Body

A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a common root cause—insulin resistance—and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it. We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do—over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind. In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.

Wenn der Husten nicht mehr aufhört

Health, Mind & Body

Haben Sie unerklärliche Atemprobleme? Spricht Ihr Asthma auf keinerlei Medikamente an? Dann ist dieses Buch wie für Sie gemacht: "Wenn der Husten nicht mehr aufhört" richtet sich an Patienten, die seit Monaten oder sogar Jahren unter chronischem Husten leiden, für den aber kein Arzt eine nachhaltige Lösung finden kann. Mehr als 20 Millionen US-Amerikaner leiden an rätselhaftem Dauerhusten. In diesem Buch stellt die HNO-Ärztin Dr. Jamie Koufman ihr Behandlungsschema vor, mit dem sie in fast vier Jahrzehnten schon Tausenden von Patienten helfen konnte, die teilweise seit mehr als 10 Jahren unter chronischem Husten unbekannter Ursache leiden. Ihr Ansatz baut auf drei Säulen auf, die individuell unterschiedlich zum Einsatz kommen: 1. Medikamente zur Behandlung von Reflux, 2. chirurgische Eingriffe, 3. Eine Ernährungsumstellung. Während säureregulierende Medikamente nur vorübergehend zum Einsatz kommen sollten, da sie mit Nebenwirkungen einhergehen, sind Operationen für all jene Fälle vorgesehen, bei denen weder Medikamente noch eine Veränderung der Essgewohnheiten zu anhaltender Remission führen konnten. Der Königsweg bleibt eine spezifische Ernährungsumstellung, die in vier aufeinanderfolgenden Schritten zu einer erfolgreichen Behandlung und Heilung führt.

Quit Like a Woman

Health, Mind & Body

Wir leben in einer Welt, die vom Trinken besessen ist. Wir trinken bei Babypartys, Arbeitsveranstaltungen, Beförderungen oder Beerdigungen. Doch niemand stellt jemals die Allgegenwart von Alkohol infrage – das Einzige, was infrage gestellt wird, ist, warum jemand nicht trinkt. Als Holly Whitaker beschließt, Hilfe zu suchen, beginnt sie eine Reise, die nicht nur zu ihrer eigenen Nüchternheit führt: Sie enthüllt die heimtückische Rolle, die Alkohol in unserer Gesellschaft und insbesondere im Leben von Frauen spielt. Therapien und Entzugsprogramme sind archaisch, patriarchalisch und nicht auf die Bedürfnisse von Frauen ausgerichtet. Deshalb entwickelt sie ihr eigenes feminozentrisches Heilungskonzept, das die notwendigen Werkzeuge bietet, um den Suchtzyklus zu durchbrechen. Unterhaltsam und informativ zeigt sie, welches Leben auf uns wartet, wenn wir auf Alkohol verzichten.

Meine Wasserkur

Health, Mind & Body

Sebastian Kneipp dürfte wohl der prominenteste Vertreter der Wasserheilkunde, d. h. der Richtung der Heilkunde, die alles mit Wasser kurieren will, sein, und viele seiner Anschauungen und Methoden wurden zu Beginn belächelt. Nachdem er selbst in früheren Jahren gefährlich erkrankte, fand er Hilfe bei der Wasserheilkunde und befasste sich nicht nur später eingehend mit dem Thema, sondern schuf nach seinen Studien und Erfahrungen ein vielfach von der damals bekannten Naturheilkunde abweichendes Heilverfahren, das er in seinem Buch "Meine Wasserkur" beschreibt. Dieses Buch hat allein in deutscher Sprache unzählige Auflagen erlebt und dem Kneippschen Heilverfahren Verbreitung in weiten Kreisen der Bevölkerung verschafft. Charakteristisch für Kneipps ganze Heilweise ist es, dass er als Entstehungsursachen der Krankheiten in allen Fällen nur Störungen des Blutes ansieht. Neben den Ausführungen zu seinen Wasserheilmethoden geht er auch ausführlich auf den Nutzen für diverse Krankheiten ein und beschreibt gängige, der Methode zuträgliche Heilmittel.

The Political Economy of the SARS Epidemic

Health, Mind & Body

This book discusses the political economy of the SARS epidemic and its impact on human resources in East Asia, as it occurred in 2003. The epidemic spread from the People’s Republic of China, to Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, amongst other countries in East Asia and as far away as North America, particularly Canada, the EU and elsewhere. The book looks first at earlier precedents, such as the Black Death and the way in which the potential threats of the recent epidemic were diffused across the world in ‘instant news’ reports; examining why it was dubbed the first ‘global epidemic’ due to its media coverage and how far the threat started a psychological ‘tsunami’ of fear and panic. Next, it examines the anticipated economic consequences arising from this phenomenon and how it affected the business of everyday life, market behaviour and human resources in the Chinese and Overseas Chinese economies. It focuses in particular detail on the cases of the PRC, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. It concludes with a discussion of the issues involved and lessons to be learnt, and draws conclusions both for theory and practice vis-à-vis future pandemics that may threaten the global economy in the coming decade and the public policy issues involved

Mindennél nagyobb szükségünk van arra, hogy gyorsan elengedhessük a stresszt és a félelmet, mivel egyszerűen nincs időnk naponta órákig jógázni, vagy akár egy félórát meditálni, amikor felhők jelennek meg a fejünk felett.

De ami a legfontosabb: kapcsolatot építesz ki a benned rejlő erővel, amely kapcsolat létfontosságú. Arról az erőről beszélek, ami a szeretethez való kapcsolatodat jelenti.

The Alchemy of Sexual Energy

Health, Mind & Body

Taoist techniques for replenishing our internal energy with universal cosmic energy • Shows how to transform excess sexual energy (Ching Chi) into self-healing energy • Presents advanced Cosmic Healing Chi Kung practices, which gather the limitless resources of Cosmic Chi for healing • Explains how opening of the three tan tiens to the six directions allows personal consciousness to connect directly to higher sources of energy Taoists consider our sexual energy to be the creative force that we can use to regenerate the body’s internal energy, but we must learn how to harness excess sexual energy and transform it into chi, or life-force energy. When we circulate the sexual energy in the Microcosmic Orbit--a continuous energy loop that runs up the spine and down the front of the body--we transform it into self-healing energy that can be stored in the organs and the three tan tiens: energy centers in the brain, the heart center, and the lower abdomen. The Alchemy of Sexual Energy builds upon Microcosmic Orbit practices discussed in Healing Light of the Tao. The more we open the flow of our internal energy the more capable we are of connecting to the cosmic energy that exists outside ourselves in the universe. By learning to open the three tan tiens to the six directions, the Taoist practitioner combines mind power with extension of chi to draw cosmic energy into the body. This energy, too, can be stored in the three tan tiens and used as needed for healing. When we learn to flow in this way with the energy of the Tao, life ceases to be a struggle.
