NINE WAYS TO BODY WISDOM: Blending Natural Therapies to Nourish the Body, Emotions & Soul Ref: RFD958

Jennifer Harper

'English naturopathic doctor and herbalist Harper believes that patients should not limit themselves to conventional Western medicine but should use holistic approaches that will "acknowledge that the mind, body and spirit need to be treated as a living entity." Her book emphasizes the 4,000-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system of diagnosis and treatment, and she explains TCM's fundamental meridian system (a philosophy of energy paths through the body) in terms the layperson can understand. Harper also discusses each body organ, its function and possible disease according to both the Western and Chinese approach. TCM recognizes that the disharmony inherent in each illness will have an accompanying emotional component. As an example Harper states, "The small intestine is in charge of digesting emotions as well as food and is known as the Abdominal Brain... involved with nourishment at all levels - emotional, mental and spiritual." Harper offers plans for strengthening each organ using acupressure, acupuncture, Bach flower remedies, herbs, diet and positive affirmations.' - Publisher's Weekly.

OUR HEALING BIRTHRIGHT: Taking Responsibility for Ourselves & Our Planet Ref: RWF0258

Andrew M Cort

In today's world of stress, fast food, and polluted environments, few if any of us can claim to be in a state of perfect health. We are long past the initial stage of prevention - what we all need is healing. However, with a health care system geared to "curing" symptoms, we foster the dangerious illusion that we can keep doing everything wrong (to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet) and somehow get away with it. The result of this attitude and consequent lifestyle is that people are living longer but becoming less healthy.

In an impassioned plea for quality of life and for the preservation of our natural environment, Dr. Cort presents an alternate view of healing as the "fusing together of an open, active mind; a strong, receptive body; and a compassionate, conciliating heart for the extraordinary task of self-transformation and world-transformation."

Chapters focus on the causes (sometimes deceptively simple) behind modern disease, a holistic approach to the AIDS epidemic, a responsible relationship with the environment, and an inteligent evaluation of alternative therapies, meditation practice, nutrition, and exercise

PHYSICIAN OF THE SOUL: A Modern Kabbalist's Approach to Health & Healing Ref: RWD992

Joseph H Gelberman

Illness, seen as an imbalance or disharmony, is a wake-up call for self-inquiry. In Physician of the Soul, Rabbi Joseph Gelberman reveals how to answer this call, exploring healing through meditation, affirmation, visualization, enhanced awareness, and prayer. Drawing on the imagery and philosophy of the 2,000-year-old Kabbalah tradition, he describes the importance of cultivating a deeper understanding of self; forming a mutually supportive partnership with God; and maintaining a joyful, positive outlook, especially in the face of adversity. He suggests meditations focused on the Kabbalah's Tree of Life, a "cosmic map of consciousness," as a way to tune in to a higher consciousness. Gelberman's path to good health also includes exercises to promote harmony in the body and techniques using intuition and imagination. Remainder mark.

THE PLACEBO RESPONSE: How You Can Release the Body's Inner Pharmacy for Better Health Ref: RFD390

Howard Brody

Did you know that you'll heal faster after surgery if you see trees and grass outside your window than if you're looking at a brick wall; after asthmatic children were given vanilla aroma to use with their inhalers, their asthma eventually improved in response to the vanilla alone, even when the inhalers contained no active drug; some patients who had sham angina surgery performed in a double-blind experiment showed improvements lasting six months or more, which their physicians could not distinguish from the results in patients who had had the real surgery; when Japanese teenagers, who were allergic to a tree similar to poison ivy, were touched with leaves from a harmless chestnut tree, they developed severe rashes - when touched with the poisonous leaves but told they were chestnut, they had no reaction whatsoever. According to Brody, the placebo response - which he pronounces mysterious and unknowable at its very heart - occurs when healing signals, assigned meaning, and human expectations converge, stimulating the body's innate healing powers. Positive mental and emotional reactions to a medical intervention release what Brody calls the "inner pharmacy." Even if the treatment is in essence benign, the body's biochemical pathways are still stimulated, inducing healing in the same manner actual medicines do. Remainder mark.

THE PLANT PROGRAMME: Recipes for Fighting Breast Cancer Ref: RWD760

Jane Plant & Gill Tidey

The bestselling author of Your Life in Your Hands has now written The Plant Programme, a collection of recipes for fighting breast cancer. Plant developed breast cancer in 1987 and as a scientist was frustrated by the lack of answers on why cancer develops, and what we can do to cure and prevent it. She discovered one startling fact that she couldn't ignore - that 1 in 10 women in the UK will develop breast cancer whereas the incidence in China is just 1 in 10 thousand. From this she went on to study the links between lifestyle and diet and drew some controversial conclusions - most notably she recommended the avoidance of all kinds of dairy produce and the adoption of a largely vegan diet. The Plant Programme is a collection of recipes and dietary advice that follows this approach. Before the recipes the principles behind the diet are explained.
