Western medicine has been trying to find out what causes pain without ever learning what pain is. Darrell Stoddard, Founder of the Pain Research Institute, has identified pain as the broken or suppressed electrical signals between cells in injured tissues. "The Chinese believe that pain is caused by the "blockage of Chi." — a concept that has never been adequately evaluated in Western medicine. The author submits that "Chi" is the endogenous electrical potential in living tissue that can be measured and quantified. Mr. Stoddard further propose that pain is caused by cut, broken, or suppressed electrical connections between cells, and he has a solution for those suffering from pain!

“I continue to be astonished at how dramatically and completely Darrell can get rid of severe pain. I have seen with my own eyes thousands of people becoming completely pain free when they thought they would have to live with pain for the rest of their lives.”                     -- Dennis W. Remington, M.D., P.C.

In connection with his The Five Minute Phobia Cure, Callahan has appeared on television with Regis Philbin, Tom Snyder and Leeza Gibbons, successfully working with patients suffering from all stripes of phobias. Now he makes the startling claim that psychological problems can be treated with a sequence of movements and taps on various body parts that correspond to meridians used in acupuncture. Backed by a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Syracuse University, Callahan theorizes that emotional distress corresponds to a "thought field" disturbance that can be corrected by simply balancing the field's energy. Nearly a third of the book is given over to physical formulas for dealing with specific ailments: phobias, addictions, trauma, anxiety, stress, fear, depression, pain, obsession. Replete with cases of immediate, permanent cures that sound nothing short of miraculous.

Self-improvement guru Phillip McGraw knows you're looking for "something that melts fat off like sun melts ice," but, he reminds you, "losing weight is not 'quick and easy' and you know it." McGraw, one of Oprah's favorite sidekicks and host of his own television show, promises that you will succeed with his methods, because you will change "from the inside out." McGraw's 7 Keys are sound - not quick. First, you have to understand and face your "personal truth" - what you think about yourself and your weight - and replace toxic messages with positive thoughts. Next, step by step, you learn how to counter emotional eating, change your environment, master impulse eating, choose foods, adopt an exercise habit, and assemble a support circle. Each step is clearly explained and personalized with case studies, fill-in charts, and self-tests. His nutrition plan emphasizes foods with high nutritional yields for few calories, and that cannot be eaten quickly (generally because they're high in fiber), so you're less likely to overeat. McGraw is the author of Life Strategies, Relationship Rescue, and Self Matters. Here he offers his unique, tell-it-like-it-is, take-no-prisoners style to help you change "what you eat, why you eat, where you eat, when you eat, and how you eat," all in an individualized approach that's bound to be effective. Highly recommended.

By helping students turn themselves into scholars, 2001 Disney Teacher of the Year Ron Clark found that his Essential 55 can apply to anyone who considers life to be a learning experience. When Ron Clark walked into his fifth grade class in rural North Carolina, he was confronted with a tremendous challenge. The children had little interest in learning and were sorely lacking in guidance. How would he transform a group of apathetic kids into disciplined, thoughtful, and curious students? He quickly realized that they needed to learn some basic rules. Clark compiled a list of 55 lessons and soon, his fifth grade students who once struggled to read at the third grade level were reading at the sixth grade level . . . and loving it. What's more, they were gaining something crucial self-respect.

Why Alternative Medicine and Why Now? tells of how our society has progressed through a series of decisions that have resulted in the polarization of all aspects of our perception of reality. We have fragmented our lives and created this chaotic culture; which we have come to love and despise at the same time. Unless we can understand what has happened then we will not be able to find the way to correct our problems. I have tried to illustrate how this process has affected western medicine. In spite of our elaborate technology, physical illness is still rampant. In addition, we have managed to disrupt our spiritual, mental and emotional health as well. We do have diagnostic aids and therapies that seem almost miraculous, yet we do not have optimal health. Many people have material success but are not happy. Frustration, confusion and depression are prevalent. We have not only systematically fragmented our society but have also fragmented ourselves into many sub- specialties. Healing consists of identifying the pieces we have fabricated and putting ourselves and our world back together. Becoming healthy consists of becoming whole again!

Dr. William G. Crook:

"This book is written for the parents and teachers of children with ADHD — especially those who

• give a history of taking repeated or prolonged courses of antibiotic drugs for ear infections
• are bothered by allergies, including adverse reactions to foods and environmental chemicals
• give a history of craving sugar and eating a nutritionally deficient diet

This book reviews the numerous viral vaccine studies conducted simultaneously in New York City and Central West Africa by a narrow network of virologists working for major military-medical contractors under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Included is Dr. Robert Gallo, the notorious discoverer of the AIDS virus.

Biochemist Stephen Cherniske has been monitoring the worldwide explosion in research on this wonder substance for more than a decade, and he, like many other doctors and researchers, has been taking it himself. In The DHEA Breakthrough, he gives you all the information you need to take advantage of and maximize the extraordinary properties of this super-hormone - safely and effectively.

DHEA is the body's master hormone, produced by the adrenal glands and then metabolized to a number of other hormones, most notably testosterone and estrogen, the sex hormones. Cherniske explains the startling fact that led to the discoveries about DHEA: its production peaks at age twentyfive, then starts to decrease dramatically. In fact, by the age of eighty, blood levels of DHEA typically drop 95 percent from their prime peak. By maintaining DHEA at optimal levels, you can short-circuit your aging clock so that your cells believe that you are still in your twenties.
