In a world that is forever changing and growing industrially, economically, environmentally, educationally, technologically, and medically, we need to become informed and stay updated on properly caring for our individual health needs and well-being.There is a plethora of harmful factors we are unaware of affecting us daily, creating more oxidative stress, hence depleting and compromising our immune systems. Oxidative stress is a constant force in our everyday lives. When our bodies can handle and adapt effectively to the oxidative stressors, we become stronger and healthier. However, when the stressors overwhelm our bodies, we are unable to adjust, making us weaker and sicker. Elevated oxidative stress is the major factor in degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases. Knowledge on how to remain healthy in a society riddled with sickness and disease, is an invaluable and vital tool. Obtaining that knowledge, although often a difficult, time consuming process, is absolutely essential. That is why I have compiled a book of crucial information you can apply to your everyday life. Once you become aware of the harmful effects from the pollutants in the air, water, soil, food, and products, you can implement the changes necessary to restore balance and your health.

Nature's cycles affect not only the external climate, but also our internal health and mental well-being. With this as its primary tenet, STAYING HEALTHY WITH THE SEASONS revolutionized the fields of preventive and integrated medicine when it was first published in 1981, and introduced a seasonal approach to nutrition, disease prevention, and mind-and-body fitness. A leading practitioner of the season-based lifestyle theory, Dr. Elson Haas provides simple, logical advice for achieving glowing good health: Bring the mind and body into balance with the earth, and consume a diet that emphasizes in-season, chemical-free foods. Joining Western and Eastern medicines with seasonal nutrition, herbology, and exercise practices, this timeless classic, revised for the 21st century, provides the keys to staying healthy from spring right on through winter. • A landmark text in mind/body health and seasonal nutrition, revised for the new millennium, with a new introduction, updated resources, and extended appendices. • Makes seasonal recommendations for detoxification, diet, and exercise programs. • Previous edition has sold over 125,000 copies.

I am not skinny. There. That is out in the open. I am also not a marathon runner. I don't have a degree in nutrition. I am just an ordinary person, who did extensive research in an effort to figure out how to live healthy in this toxic world. I did not set out to write a book on the topic of healthy eating and living. I set out on this journey, in search of answers to why my own health was so poor and declining by the month. I grew up living rural. I have a degree in Horticulture/Agriculture, which I used professionally and personally. I was even certified to use Round-Up for the commercial and personal farming I did. In doing so I unwittingly contributed to the whole GMO nightmare. I was uneducated, as it turns out. Once I began researching for answers to my own issues, I was stunned. While this book is by no means an exhaustive book on the topic, it contains truth and insight regarding our toxic world and how to stay healthy while living in it. The truths within this book are applicable to people in every country around the world. It crosses all ethnic and socio-economic barriers and gives bottom line information to the reader. As I said, I have taken hundreds of hours to synthesize several hundred books and sites I have read. While the book may seem short and simplistic, the research behind it is anything but simplistic. Balance is the keyword. I am giving you the information, but realize that it would be a quantum leap for many to go from where you are now to 100% all using natural, totally certified organic products and practicing green living. The more urban of an area you live in, the more challenging it is going to be to live healthy in this toxic world. I am not there yet, and I realize the impossibility of getting to that point in the immediate future. I am, however, sure that I can continue to make changes in that direction. So can you.

A “radical” approach to holistic healing that examines the root causes and cures for ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, and heart attacks • Offers cutting-edge detoxification and draining therapies to address the tremendous chemical onslaught of modern life • Explains the profound health problems caused by dental amalgams, vaccinations, antibiotics, cosmetics With the historic use of toxic mercury amalgam fillings, excessive courses of antibiotics, damaging childhood vaccines, and the many industrial pollutants and chemicals that have been spread into our air, water, and food over the past century, general holistic health guidelines are simply no longer adequate for most people. Only through radical measures--that is, getting to the true root or underlying cause of disease--can effective healing occur. In Radical Medicine, naturopathic physician Louisa Williams describes how to treat these and other modern-day “obstacles to cure,” in order to ensure against future degenerative disease and achieve the optimal health that is our birthright. Examining the many health problems triggered by dental amalgams and poor dentistry, Dr. Williams explains that our teeth are focal points for health issues that arise elsewhere in the body. She explores the impact of vaccinations, the excessive use of antibiotics, and the chemical-laden products used as health and beauty aids--which are linked to Alzheimer’s disease, heart attacks, and breast and other cancers--and provides information on cutting-edge detoxification treatments as well as drainage and nutritional therapies. A practical guide for practitioners and patients alike, Radical Medicine offers a wealth of holistic, natural therapies for overcoming what is poisoning us and our world so we can achieve optimal health and well-being.

Fear — the word, itself, conjures the appropriate response. With a dark cacophony of associations like fright, dread, horror, panic, alarm, anxiety, and terror, fear is universally understood as one of the most basic and powerful of human emotions, obtaining a nearly palpable and overwhelming substance in today's world. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed historian and prize–winning author Joanna Bourke covers the landscape of fear over the past two hundred years: From the nineteenth century dread of being buried alive — a subject dear to the heart of Edgar Allen Poe — to the current worry over being able to die when one chooses; from the diagnoses of phobias and anxieties produced by psychotherapists and lovingly catalogued, to the role of popular culture and media in inciting panic and dread; from the horrors of the nuclear age to the fear of twenty–first century terrorism, Fear tells the story of anguish in modern times. A blend of social and cultural history with psychology, philosophy, and popular science, this astonishing book — exhaustively researched and beautifully written — offers strikingly original insights into the mind and worldview of the "long twentieth century" from one of the most brilliant scholars of our time.
