Review of Viral Immunity: A 10-Step Plan to Enhance Your Immunity against Viral Disease Using Natural Medicines (Paperback)

Dr. James Williams is an extraordinary health care professional who has written a timely and comprehensive book, VIRAL IMMUNITY, on how to make your body "bulletproof" against the growing onslaught of viral infections.Dr. Williams skillfully weaves together his training in Oriental medicine from China, his 20 years of clinical work helping very sick patients, and the latest references from scientific journals to offer the reader a practical program for building the immune system to fight viral and other infections.American taxpayers support the ...annual budget at the National Institutes of Health, which includes a desperate search for magic bullet drugs against increasingly more virulent "bugs", or infections.We need to recognize that "non-specific host defenses" are built from a generally healthy lifestyle, coupled with specific techniques to support the immune system.As infections have risen back into the 3rd leading cause of death in America, VIRAL IMMUNITY gives us the answers to preventing and reversing the bewildering array of infections now found in American hospitals and clinics.With this book, the reader can use foods, vitamins, herbs, detoxification techniques and stress reduction to substantially improve the chances for recovering from any infection.It is not a short book, nor a simple process to change lifestyle habits; but it is our only hope to avoid the potential plagues of the future.

Product Description

HIV, hepatitis, influenza, the common cold, herpes, Ebola, Hantavirus, West Nile fever, dengue, TT virus-the viral world keeps posing new major challenges to human health each year. At the same time as this onslaught of emerging powerful viral infections, our antibiotic arsenals are losing ground and our immune systems are compromised. Can we handle the next viral epidemic?

Yes, says James Williams, an experienced, credentialled naturopath, acupuncturist, and expert in traditional Chinese medicine. We can shore up our immune system to handle current and any future viral infections and not be dependent on conventional vaccinations or antibiotics to insure our health.

In 10 practical steps, Dr. Williams shows how to develop unassailable viral immunity using natural approaches. If you already have a viral infection, these steps will help you reverse its effects; if you're concerned about exposure to one in the future, these steps will give you the keys to prevention. Included in these steps are the best that natural medicine offers: stress management, enzymes, nutrients, detoxification, oxygen therapy, immune modulators, hormones, natural antiviral medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines, Chinese and Western herbs, and more.

"Viral immunity is without question one of the most important health issues of this century," says Dr. Williams. "The message of this book is clear. You can improve your system in general with diet, lifestyle, and natural medicines. Here you will find natural ways of improving immune function, remedies to treat viral infections, and suggestions on how to reframe outdated concepts that could otherwise prevent you from obtaining effective treatment."

Review of Bach Flower Remedies Form & Function (Paperback)

Flower Essences are not as well known as they should be.

Though there is precious little scientific research to support their use, there is a great deal of practical experience to show that they can be often be very useful complements to other forms of therapy.

This is an excellent book on the original Bach Essences. One would have thought that there is little new to be said about them, but there is much inthe book that is new and original.

Highly recommended.

Product Description
"Today, disease and death control us ever more strongly with a litany of viruses, cancers, and heart disorders. The causes may be vaccinations, environmental poisons, despoliation of food, or pollution of the elements-earth, water and air. For Bach the cause was clear and it is clear today: ‘It is only because we have forsaken Nature's way for man's way that we have suffered, and we have only to return to be released from our trials. In the presence of the way of Nature disease has no power; all fear, all depression, all hopelessness can be set aside. There is no disease of itself which is incurable.'" -Julian Barnard

In the 1920s, the physician and homeopath Dr. Edward Bach made his great discovery of the healing effects of various flower essences. Intense and revelatory, his experiences in nature resulted in thirty-eight "flower remedies." He describes these as bringing courage to the fearful, peace to the anguished, and strength to the weak. But the therapeutic effects of the remedies were never limited to emotional states. They are equally effective in the treatment of physical disorders.

Barnard begins the process of explaining this phenomenon. He describes how Bach made his discoveries and examines the living qualities of the plants in their context and how the remedies are actually produced. The result is remarkable. The author recounts his observations so that readers can experience, in a living way, the complex ways in which the remedy plants grow-their gestures and qualities, ecology, botany, and behavior.

This exciting book calls the reader to attend to nature in a new way. Fully illustrated.

Review of Bach Flower Remedies for Children: A Parents' Guide (Paperback)

I have always had my homeopathic remedies made by a pharmacy and was skeptical of remedies that could be purchased at a store.Well, when all else failed to work for me, I decided to try the Bach remedies and they worked!From there, I branched out into treating our cat and also my children.

This book is easy to understand and use.As most Flower Remedy books do, it starts with a short introduction.From there, it goes on to list the remedies alphabetically and to explain which sort of child would benefit.In a style that reminded me of Waldorf School educators, the author also included a short story to be told to the child related to their personality type.Very interesting.

At the end, there is a chart listing the remedies and the conditions each one can treat.This is a very useful reference.This chart differs from the chapters because it also lists physical problems, as well as emotional personality.For example, I looked under pimples for my daughter.Of course, Bach thought that physical problems all had emotional or psychological roots to begin with.

This is a book that I will consult over and over again.It is very well done.
