A “radical” approach to holistic healing that examines the root causes and cures for ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, and heart attacks • Offers cutting-edge detoxification and draining therapies to address the tremendous chemical onslaught of modern life • Explains the profound health problems caused by dental amalgams, vaccinations, antibiotics, cosmetics With the historic use of toxic mercury amalgam fillings, excessive courses of antibiotics, damaging childhood vaccines, and the many industrial pollutants and chemicals that have been spread into our air, water, and food over the past century, general holistic health guidelines are simply no longer adequate for most people. Only through radical measures--that is, getting to the true root or underlying cause of disease--can effective healing occur. In Radical Medicine, naturopathic physician Louisa Williams describes how to treat these and other modern-day “obstacles to cure,” in order to ensure against future degenerative disease and achieve the optimal health that is our birthright. Examining the many health problems triggered by dental amalgams and poor dentistry, Dr. Williams explains that our teeth are focal points for health issues that arise elsewhere in the body. She explores the impact of vaccinations, the excessive use of antibiotics, and the chemical-laden products used as health and beauty aids--which are linked to Alzheimer’s disease, heart attacks, and breast and other cancers--and provides information on cutting-edge detoxification treatments as well as drainage and nutritional therapies. A practical guide for practitioners and patients alike, Radical Medicine offers a wealth of holistic, natural therapies for overcoming what is poisoning us and our world so we can achieve optimal health and well-being.

Auto-immune diseases present an enormous challenge to Medicine, and much work has been done in an attempt to solve their mystery. But despite all these efforts they remain an enigma, and scientific research is still unable to provide the medical profession with the therapeutic tools it needs.With an advance of two centuries, homeopathy offers physicians the way to follow to restore the balance of vital energy, guarantor of our health. Such a path offers many pitfalls, especially when it comes to auto-immune disease, and so long as the practitioner adheres to the rules of classic homeopathy the difficulties may appear insurmountable. If, on the other hand, the sequential method, promulgated by the author for the past thirty years, is adopted, the patient can be brought back to the way of health, with an even more favourable prognosis if the treatment is attuned to the immutable signals we have received from the majestic round of the four seasons ever since the dawn of time.

Do you want to maintain your health and energy level as you age? If so, then it is essential that you replenish your declining hormones. In Hormones, Health, and Happiness, Dr. Steven Hotze reveals how restoring hormones to optimal levels using natural, bioidentical hormones enables women and men to regain their vitality. Dr. Hotze discusses the frequently overlooked problem of hypothyroidism, which commonly affects women in midlife. Too often, women with all the signs of low thyroid are told that their blood results are normal. Find out why women should believe what their bodies are telling them rather than the results of a blood test. The conventional medical approach treats symptoms with "anti" drugs, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, antispasmodics, anti-arthritics, and others, rather than discovering and correcting the underlying problems of these symptoms.In Hormones, Health, and Happiness, Dr. Hotze discusses symptoms of women and men in midlife, which include fatigue, weight gain, headaches, depression, insomnia, hot flashes, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, loss of interest in sex, allergies, and recurrent infections, to name a few, and addresses their solutions. His comprehensive eight-point wellness program will help you strengthen your immune system, balance your hormones, and increase your energy level. This program encompasses: - Treatment of low thyroid - Treatment of hormonal decline and imbalance - Treatment of adrenal fatigue - Treatment of yeast overgrowth - Treatment of airborne allergies - Treatment of food allergies - Vitamin and mineral supplementation - Nutritionally balanced eating program Dr. Hotze demonstrates how many health problems can be solved safely, effectively, and naturally without drugs. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, then it's time to take charge of your health and get your life back. By following Dr. Hotze's recommendations you can begin your journey down a life-long path of health and happiness.

Rediscovering Confession is about recovering the experience of confession, in danger now of becoming a lost art. It identifies four elements present in psychotherapy and confession: a state of heightened self-awareness, a growing realization that our predicament points in some meaningful direction beyond itself, the necessity to make a relevant response to our situation, and a potential for spiritual encounter that accompanies the process. Each chapter contains a section devoted to practice, with exercises for individual contemplation and experimentation, guidelines for forming a confessional partnership, directions for conducting discussions in a study goup, and ways to organize a small confessional group.

Learning to nurse is a little like learning to swim, ride a bike or speak a foreign language. It takes a long time to become a skilled practitioner, confident in your ability and assured that you understand what you are doing and know that you are doing it competently and safely. But, as everyone knows, lack of practice leads to loss of confidence and ability. To be as good as ever you were isn't easy, but neither is it impossible. All you need is time to adjust and adapt to all the changes that have taken place. This book will give the once skilled, confident and competent nurse the knowledge needed to re-enter practice. It addresses the changes which have taken place in the delivery of care including the movement of care into the community, the growth in day-care and short-stay wards and, of course, changes in nursing practice. Such issues as nursing process, nursing models and primary nursing are described in detail, clearly helping you see how the profession has moved from the task allocation of my training into the individualized patient care of today. As ever, changes in medical and surgical practice affect nursing. The authors address these issues too, and explain such changes as U100 insulin, the use of scopes, fibre-optics and lasers to minimize invasive surgery and the tremendous growth in Health Education and Preventive Health Care. The book also suggests ways in which your new knowledge can be put to practical use.
