Never Be Sick Again By Raymond Francis and Kester Cotton

Never Be Sick Again

A life-threatening medical condition led Ray Francis, a chemist and graduate of MIT, to formulate a revolutionary theory of health and disease: there is only one disease, only two causes of disease, and six pathways to health and disease. His findings and astounding recovery supported his conclusion that almost all diseases can be both prevented and reversed.

This remarkable book is health in one lesson. It cuts through the confusion, demystifies disease and gives you answers to these questions: What is health? What is disease? Why do people get sick? How can disease be prevented? How can it be reversed? Through provocative case studies and cutting-edge scientific research, you will learn an entirely new way to look at health and disease. It is an approach that is easy to understand, yet so powerful that you may, indeed, never have to be sick again.

 
The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is not Immunisation
by Tim O’Shea

Vaccination is not Immunisation

There are at least two sides to the vaccination controversy. One side we see all the time, in newspapers, magazines, and on TV. The other side takes a little digging to uncover, but it’s there nevertheless. When the reader has begun to do a little research, one plain fact will come into focus: all this information can’t be true. Someone is definitely very wrong.

The startling reality is that opposition to vaccines today is not coming from the holistic arena; it’s coming from mainstream science, medicine, and law. This book draws from that data.

The condition of a child’s blood determines the quality of an immune system that has to last a lifetime. The blood is the medium in which all the cells of the body are bathed, from birth til death. The amounts of oxygen and nutrients in the blood promote life, determine longevity. Anything foreign - chemicals, altered bacteria and viruses, toxic foods, unproven injectables - promotes death. It’s that simple.

Children have a right to be protected from harm. If there’s a huge body of information that is saying vaccinations are dangerous, and another huge body of information saying that vaccines are safe, we have a responsibility to look at the evidence on each side, instead of just bowing to hollow rhetoric.
 

Lights Out, Sleep, Sugar and Survival by Bent Formby and T. S. Wiley

Lights Out, Sleep, Sugar and Survival

With research gleaned from the National Institutes of Health, T. S. Wiley and Bent Formby deliver staggering findings: Americans really are sick from being tired. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and depression are rising in our population. We’re literally dying for a good night’s sleep.
Our lifestyle wasn’t always this way. It began with the invention of the lightbulb.

When we don’t get enough sleep in sync with seasonal light exposure, we fundamentally alter a balance of nature that has been programmed into our physiology since Day One. This delicate biological rhythm rules the hormones and neurotransmitters that determine appetite, fertility, and mental and physical health. When we rely on artificial light to extend our day until 11 PM, midnight, and beyond, we fool our bodies into living in a perpetual state of summer.
Anticipating the scarce food supply and forced inactivity of winter, our bodies begin storing fat and slowing metabolism to sustain us through the months of hibernation and hunger that never arrive.

Our own survival instinct, honed over millennia, is now killing us.

Wiley and Formby also reveal:
- That studies from our own government research prove the role of sleeplessness in diabetes, heart disease, cancer, infertility, mental illness, and premature aging;
- Why the carbohydrate-rich diets recommended by many health professionals are not only ridiculously ineffective but deadly;
- Why the lifesaving information that can turn things around is one of the best-kept secrets of our day.

The Dietary Cure for Acne

Healthy, delicious, and simple, and supported by 174 scientific references, The Dietary Cure for Acne addressed all four known causes of acne, and is the only program shown to clear acne blemishes in a human clinical trial.

The problem – and solution – isn’t in any one food. It’s in everything we eat. Cordain’s dietary recommendations will do more than just clear your skin = they’ll ckear your risk of disease as well.”
- Jack Challem, author of Feed Your Genes Right and The Inflammation Syndrome.

Dr.Loren Cordain has extensively studied the crucial role that diet plays in causing acne and has made invited presentations on his findings to the largest, most prestigious Dermatology Organization in the United States, the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) and its equvelent in Europe, The European Society of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV).
