One Minute Wellness: The Natural Health and Happiness System That Never Fails (Body By God) (Hardcover)

One Minute Wellness: The Natural Health and Happiness System That Never Fails (Body By God)
One Minute Wellness: The Natural Health and Happiness System That Never Fails (Body By God) (Hardcover)
By Ben Lerner

Review & Description

What if someone promised you he could offer a system sure to produce better health and all-around wellness? And what if he further dared to say he could do this in just one minute a day? You'd say that person was crazy, right?

But Dr. Ben Lerner has done just that. This best-selling author of Body by God is offering a ground-breaking approach to wellness while reorientating the way you look at life and health. And here's the bonus: it's actually two books in one. On the left-hand side of each page is a fictional tale (based in reality) of a chiropractor running a God-centered office, assisting patients who have been disappointed or left behind by the "traditional" health care system. On the other side are the explanations of the technology, lifestyle methods, treatments, and action steps that can take readers to wellness. Once considered "alternative" medicine, chiropractic treatment is now considered part of a balanced approach to health.

Adventures With Natural Healing (Kindle Edition)

Adventures With Natural Healing
Adventures With Natural Healing (Kindle Edition)
By Ellen L. Hughes

Review & Description

This book is your CliffsNotes for alternative health. It is a health junkie's amazing personal journey using 26 alternative health methods including Reiki, Acupressure, and Reflexology and others that may be new to you like Brain Gym and Tellington Touch. The chapter called, "Removing the Woo Woo Factor" provides documented proof of why and how each method is effective. It looks at the common threads between them in the chapter "Shared Touchpoints". The Who, What, When, Where and Why are explored for each method: history of the technique, how it works with the body, issues to use it on, step-by-step instructions to perform the technique. Certification and/or licensing requirements are also provided. As a personal touch, the author includes her own experiences in using each of the methods - the good and the not so good. The reader receives enough information to determine which methods to use and how to perform them immediately. For the readers who desire further study of a method, a bibliography and extensive resource section is included.
This book is a direct offshoot of the website Source of Enlightenment.  The site covers over 50 alternative health methods and includes interviews with experts, articles, event reviews and a personal health journey of the author.  
                Chapter One - Shared Touchpoints
This chapter takes an overall view of the methods and finds commonalities among them. It also looks at the entire Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) arena and offers basic tenets that apply to the whole field.

Chapter Two - Removing the Woo Woo Factor
Skeptical?  Need proof? This is the section for you. Scientific proof, citations from reputable sources, diagrams of body systems - it's all here.  At least enough to open your mind to the possibility that it's not just woo woo.

Chapter Three - 26 Methods
This is the heart of the book.  Eight elements of each method are discussed:
Definition - including etymology
History - First recorded use of method and/or developer of technique
How It Works - Body system(s) and senses accessed
Uses - Physical/mental/emotion issues it has been successfully used on
Instructions - Step-by-step instructions to perform the technique
Tools - Physical equipment needed (most methods do not require tools)
Licensing - Certification/licensing requirements, and licensing agencies
Personal Experience - Personal experiences with the method

Chapter Four - Eclectic Exercise Routines
Take one breathing exercise, add a mental exercise, mix carefully with energy meridians and what do you get?  A recipe for an excellent job interview.  There are routines for commuters, busy mothers, athletes. Plus there is a formula so you can create your own routine.

Glossary
If you are familiar with all the terms used in this book, then kudos to you.  If you need a little assistance, this is the place to look.

Bibliography
Adventures in Natural Healing gives basic information and easy instructions for each method. For further study, the bibliography offers resources to enhance your experience. Additionally, there are links to interviews with experts scattered throughout the book. If you want more about the method immediately, click on the link. 

Associations
Many methods are associated with a national or international group.  The group may be the licensing association or hub for practitioner information.  If you are looking for a qualified practitioner, this is the place to look.  Read more

The Truth About Back Pain: A Revolutionary, Individualized Approach to Diagnosing and Healing Back Pain
The Truth About Back Pain: A Revolutionary, Individualized Approach to Diagnosing and Healing Back Pain (Hardcover)
By Todd Sinett

Review & Description

A comprehensive and practical approach to the true causes of back pain-with workable solutions for each.

Chiropractic doctors Todd and Sheldon Sinett have developed a new approach to diagnosing and relieving back pain based on the idea that the causes of back pain come from three distinct influences: structural-actual physical damage; nutritional-an unhealthy diet; and emotional-stress and personal issues that affect health.

Instead of resorting to radical therapies or surgical treatments, the Sinetts dispel the many prevalent myths about back pain and propose solutions that use non-invasive physical and easy-to-implement mental techniques. Offering concrete and specific advice ranging from exercises and meal plans to methods for dealing with everyday stress, this book provides all the necessary tools to understand the root causes of back pain and take the appropriate measures for relief.

For both sufferers and medical practitioners, The Truth About Back Pain will revolutionize way back pain is treated. Read more

The Downside of Upright Posture - The Anatomical Causes of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis (Paperback)

The Downside of Upright Posture - The Anatomical Causes of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis
The Downside of Upright Posture - The Anatomical Causes of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis (Paperback)
By Michael Flanagan D.C.

Review & Description

The true story of more than twenty years of investigative research begins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where Dr. Michael Flanagan tells how a chance investigation started him on his journey.

Dr. Flanagan's research into the fluid mechanics of the brain - including the unique design of the sutures and base of the human skull - led to the discovery of an unmistakable link between upright posture of Homo sapiens and neurodegenerative diseases seen in aging adults. This ''link'' is in the cervical spine which contains key circulatory routes for blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow entering and exiting the brain.

In a style that is accessible to the lay reader, as well as the scientist, Flanagan explains why his discovery offers important new information and hope for the many millions of patients, family members, physicians, and scientists who are devoted to understanding the causes of - and finding cures for - neurodegenerative diseases of the brain and spinal cord.

Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table (Sports)

Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table
Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table (Sports)
By Body Max

Product Images


Review & Description

Inversion Therapy counteracts the forces of gravity on the body (particularly the back) by decompressing and elongating the spine. This relieves pressure on your spinal cord’s ligaments and nerve roots. In essence, Inversion Therapy reverses the negative effects of gravity. Using the Body Champ Inversion Table for just 10 minutes a day will allow you to be on your way to improved circulation and posture while relieving muscle aches, back pain and stress. Folds for easy storage.Inversion therapy counteracts the forces of gravity on the body (particularly the back) by decompressing and elongating the spine. Not only can this relieve pressure on your spinal cord's ligaments and nerve roots, but it can also relax the back muscles that support the vertebrae. And when your back relaxes, the rest of your body invariably follows. The Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table can make a great addition to your daily routine, and help to improve your circulation and posture while relieving muscle aches, back pain, and stress.

The IT8070 is easy to adjust, with a deluxe dual-pin system that lets you quickly find the right position (within a height range of 4' 7" to 6' 8"). It's also a breeze to use: once you rest your body against the pad and lock your feet behind the ankle supports, you simply reach your arms over your head. As your arms go up, your body will gradually invert until you're almost completely upside down. The only inputs are your energy and gravity itself. Construction features include a lower spring-loaded pull pin that allows for easy ankle adjustments; four safe and comfortable foam rollers; U-shaped handrails; a safety strap that lets you control the desired inverting angles; and a safety lock for when you aren't using the table.

The IT8070, which folds for easy storage, will support up to 250 pounds.

Key Features:

  • Assembled Dimensions: 55-1/2 by 29-1/2 by 57-7/8 inches (L x W x H)
  • Folded Dimensions: 13 by 29 by 75 inches (L x W x H)
  • Adjustable within a height range of 4' 7" to 6' 8"

Traditional Chiropractic: A Layperson's Guide to How it Works & Why it's Attacked (Paperback)
By Dr. John Reizer

Review & Description

In the eyes of certain organizations, chiropractic and its practitioners represent a major threat to the traditional healthcare model. Many, medically funded, organizations have made it a top priority, throughout the years, to try and silence chiropractic's voice of common sense in an otherwise insane industry. I have always maintained that the beauty of chiropractic rests within the profession's practice objective. The objective is so simple to understand that even a young child could comprehend how it works with the controlling laws of nature. After reading this book, I am hopeful that your understanding of healthcare will change. If I am able to help some members of society see a clearer picture of what is really happening in our healthcare arena, I will have accomplished one of my very personal life goals! -Dr. John Reizer Read more
