Our modern technologies are bombarding us with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) now more than ever. Are EMFs really harmful and if so, to what degree? Are all EMFs bad? The EMF controversy has now pitted scientists, action groups and the technology industry into rigid corners. In “Electromagnetic Health,” the author clearly and objectively presents the evidence and latest research from a perspective that embraces both the scientific and natural health communities. The entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is thoroughly examined, from modern technologies to nature’s sources. More
For thousands of years, the sun was revered for giving life and maintaining health. It was widely used for its therapeutic value for a variety of diseases. Today, the sun is considered enemy number one. We hide from the sun for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. We cover our bodies with sun-screen to protect us from the sun’s rays.
With the bombarding of our bodies by thousands of environmental and consumer toxins every day, most of us have realized that we need to incorporate cleansing and detoxification strategies in order to maintain health. In fact, numerous health disorders have now been attributed to synthetic and environmental toxins, including cancers, respiratory diseases, joint degeneration, digestive issues, skin issues, cognitive difficulties and so many other conditions. The question now is, how do we efficiently and effectively cleanse the overload of toxins from our bodies? Many recommend radical and difficult detoxification programs that can actually do more harm than good. These can stress our elimination systems and immune systems, and overwhelm us with toxemia. These “blitz” methods of cleansing can not only be unsafe: Most are also unsustainable due to their complexity, expense and numerous sacrifices. “The Living Cleanse” offers us a completely different strategy – one that is not only safe, gentle and gradual – but one that is sustainable over the long haul. “The Living Cleanse” is a groundbreaking sustainable system that will stimulate our immune system to more efficiently break down and rid the body of toxins without over-stressing our bodies and minds – or require radical, difficult, expensive and possibly unsafe methods.

Our body’s immune system has not been that well understood to date. While immunity has been the focus of medical study from a disease perspective, many of its functional characteristics have eluded scientists. This is evidenced by the fact that many infections are becoming resistant to many drugs – and numerous bacteria and viruses are now multi-drug resistant. Here, in a groundbreaking compendium of the latest immunity research, the author reveals our immune system in a way that has vast implications for global and personal wellness. The vibrant, dynamic nature of our immune system is documented in detail, showing the interplay between immune cells, cytokines, immunoglobulins, probiotics and the many other immune system components that help us fight off colds, flu, infections, chronic fatigue and other diseases. The author – a California Naturopath and board certified Alternative Medical Practitioner – then unveils a host of natural strategies, including probiotics, diet, herbs and lifestyle factors, while referencing hundreds of clinical studies proving their ability to supercharge our immune system and help our bodies fight disease. 414 Pages.
