DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere was once a monkey who didn't believe in crocodiles - but that didn't make any difference when he met one in the middle of the night on the banks of the Great River. There was another monkey who tried to pull himself out of a bog by his whiskers; all that was left of him was two small bubbles on top of the mud. And as for the snake who thought he could steal the egg of Kuku the hen without being found out - well, he couldn't say that his wife hadn't warned him in plenty of time

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy do the relatively poor native populations in Mexico and Africa have such low levels of the chronic diseases that plague the United States? Why is the rate of seasonal affective disorder in Iceland—a country where dreary weather is the norm—so low? Why is it that older women in Okinawa have such low breast cancer rates that it is not considered cost-effective for them to get screening mammograms? The Jungle Effect has the life-changing answers to these important questions, and many more. Whether it's the heart-healthy Cretan diet, with its reliance on olive oil and fresh vegetables, the antidepressive Icelandic diet and its extremely high levels of omega-3s, the age-defying Okinawa diet and its emphasis on vegetables and fish, or the other diets explored herein, everyone who reads this book will come away with the secrets of a longer, healthier life and the recipes necessary to put those secrets into action.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat would you do if you felt a calling to go to a far-off war-torn country to spread the word of God? Would you follow that calling or would you do the "wise" thing and stay home where it is safe? Elam Stoltzfus, born and raised Amish in Lancaster County Pennsylvania was a man who felt a tug on his heart to go tell the world about Jesus and he did just that. He set off in 1972 with his pregnant wife, Barbara and their three children and went to Guatemala, Central America, which was in the midst of a brutal civil war. They lived on a houseboat and off the land for the first eight years while planting churches and building a medical clinic. Over the course of 19 years Elam and his family of six children had adventures of every sort and served God joyfully with their whole hearts. Then, in August 1990 the guerrillas showed up at their front door and their ministry was burned to the ground. Elam's younger son, Virgil, was taken captive that night and out into the jungle with written orders to execute him. Had Elam been wrong to risk his family or does following God's call bring limitless rewards? Literally thousands of lives were saved because of Elam's ministry in Guatemala and the spiritual legacy he left behind is immeasurable. This is a story that will inspire any Christian that they, too, can change the world they live and have an exciting life with God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCuring their Ills traces the history of encounters between European medicine and African societies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Vaughan's detailed examination of medical discourse of the period reveals its shifting and fragmented nature, highlights its use in the creation of the colonial subject in Africa, and explores the conflict between its pretensions to scientific neutrality and its political and cultural motivations. The book includes chapters on the history of psychiatry in Africa, on the treatment of venereal diseases, on the memoirs of European 'Jungle Doctors', and on mission medicine. In exploring the representations of disease as well as medical practice, Curing their Ills makes a fascinating and original contribution to both medical history and the social history of Africa.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRaised in a Greek immigrant family amid New Englands industrial decline, Manny Voulgaropoulos wanted to explore exotic places. His ticket to adventure was medical school in Belgium, where he learned how Belgiums colonization of the Congo exploited its indigenous people. His medical training, originally a passport to travel the world, became his means to alleviate suffering of poor and underprivileged people. A serendipitous meeting with Tom Dooley, the Jungle Doctor, brought him to Kratie, Cambodia in 1958 as the Indochina war was brewing. In Kratie Manny was the Great White Doctor treating hundreds every day just as Tom Dooley had done. After repeatedly seeing the same people with the same diseases, Manny realized that Kraties people didnt need a jungle doctor. They needed preventive medicine and public health delivered by Cambodians for Cambodians. These lessons molded Mannys professional philosophy in a career spanning four decades. From the pinnacle of academia at the University of Hawaii to the zenith of international public health leading USAID health programs in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, Manny Voulgaropoulos emphasized public health and preventive medicine; and instilled his host country colleagues with the confidence to take control of their health programs and their destinies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe relationships between religion, spirituality, health, biomedical institutions, complementary, and alternative healing systems are widely discussed today. While many of these debates revolve around the biomedical legitimacy of religious modes of healing, the market for them continues to grow. The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Medicine, and Health is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty-five chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into five parts: Healing practices with religious roots and frames Religious actors in and around the medical field Organizing infrastructures of religion and medicine: pluralism and competition Boundary-making between religion and medicine Religion and epidemics Within these sections, central issues, debates and problems are examined, including health and healing, religiosity, spirituality, biomedicine, medicalization, complementary medicine, medical therapy, efficacy, agency, and the nexus of body, mind, and spirit. The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Medicine, and Health is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies. The Handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields, such as sociology, anthropology, and medicine.
