Natural Health by Mary D. Martino Pdf

In the past eight to ten years there have been many important breakthroughs in scientific research and health, as well as many more new prescription drugs. Yet there has been little change, if any, in health or obesity problems in this country. I have tried to understand why this is happening when there is so much information in bookstores, on the Internet, to asking your health care provider for advice.

Modern Breakthroughs in Homeopathic Medicine by William Beattie Pdf

INTRODUCTION Few researchers have made more headway in the field of ethnobotanical medicine than Dr. James A Duke. His seminal work 'The Green Pharmacy' transcended folk medicine beyond the domain of speculation by using modern, scientific spectroscopy to analyze biochemical compositions in natural medicine; while at the same time juxtaposing plant expedients with contemporary medical research, setting high standards for the future of holistic pharmacopoeia. Alternative medicine has seen many surprising advancements since the release of Dr. Duke's monumental book, which was released in 1998. Astoundingly, Cancer and AIDS have both been proven to be treatable maladies, thanks to the global bioinformatic age we are currently living in; henceforth, leading technological research companies and firms invest large amounts of money to develop products surrounding these trade-secret breakthroughs. The purpose of this book was to equalize the playing field and make it possible for average people, with access to herbs and plants, to be able to treat serious illnesses without extreme monetary repercussion. The first key to accomplishing this task is outlining a complete list of 'medical activities' and 'biochemicals' for a wide spectrum of common diseases. After this is accomplished, we can pinpoint which chemicals have multiple, synergistic effects for each particular disease; lying out which plant or herb contains these chemicals and to what quantitative degree they are present. Such research is a timely process, but thanks to Dr. Duke's priceless 'Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Database' funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, I was able to extract the information needed for the conceptualization and gradual compilation of this extensive omnibus. 'Modern Breakthroughs in Homeopathic Medicine' not only contains an alphabetic break down of every major disease and medical condition, but it also provides definitions and explanations of specialized nomenclature in encyclopedic like fashion for the purpose of convenience and clarity. Along with a complete list of 'medical activities' provided (in every section) for each corresponding disease, an extensive list of remedial 'phytochemicals' is outlined; as well as an extensive section listing the particular plants, fruits and herbs which contain these chemicals in different quantities. Other topics of exploration defined in this book include: manna, glyconutrients, polysaccharides, trace minerals, essential minerals, natural steroids, hypnotic/mind altering plants & chemicals, science journal excerpts, remedial patent applications, and medical journal references. Enjoy!

The Scientific Basis of Integrative Health by Leonard Wisneski Pdf

Since the first suffering supplicant offered a prayer to his god or the first mother cradled an ailing child in her caring arms, we have witnessed how human health and healing go beyond any inventory of parts and infusion of chemicals. We humans are a complex melding of thought, emotion, spirit and energy and each of those components is as critical to our well-being as our physiological status. Even if we are just beginning to quantify and document these seemingly intangible aspect, to ignore them in the practice of medicine is neglect and an invitation to do harm. The Scientific Basis of Integrative Health has been extensively updated and expanded to provide a comprehensive guide to integrative medicine. Taking a balanced and objective approach, this leading text bridges the gap between Western science and Eastern philosophy. It provides doctors and other health practitioners with information on complementary and alternative approaches to health, that is authoritative, evidence based, and epidemiologically substantiated. Written for doctors and healthcare professionals by pioneering practitioners and updated with the newest research across and increasing range of possibilities, this third edition includes nine new chapters covering topics such as: Electrophotonic imaging; Neuroacupuncture; Naturopathic medicine; Integrative nutrition.

Biofrequencies and Parkinson's Disease by Sharry Edwards,Marian Lewis,Robert Rodgers PhD Pdf

Currently, Edwards and her team at Sound Health are using the human voice and the associated frequencies to help clients with Parkinson's Disease in addition to many other chronic illnesses. Sharry Edwards' work is now included in The Duke University Encyclopedia of New Medicine, by Leonard A. Wisnecki and The Scientific Basis of Integrative Medicine, by Lucy Anderson. The effects of BioAcoustic Biology, now accepted by these prestigious medical encyclopedias, have unlimited health and wellness potential. According to Edwards, "BioAcoustics Voice Spectral Analysis can detect hidden or underlying stresses in the body that are expressed as disease." Vocal prints can identify toxins, pathogens and nutritional supplements that are too low or too high. In addition, vocal prints can be used to match the most compatible treatment remedy to each client. The introduction of the proper low frequency sound to the body, indicated through voice analysis, has been shown to help people who currently experience the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease.
