The book includes a wealth of testimonials and available medical references and examines the therapies and their use in detail. The book is divided into three sections: Part 1: Problems -- everybody gets sick eventually. Here's why. Polluted environments and mass-produced foods grown on de-mineralised mega farm soils have lowered our cellular and fluid oxygen levels. Our too-low inner oxygen levels let toxins and anaerobic (can't live in oxygen) bacteria, viruses, fungi, and pathogens colonise inside us and in our animals, our pets, and in our plants. Anaerobes are the cause of most human, animal, and plant health problems as well as the ‘incurable' diseases. Part 2: Solutions -- proven, safe, and effective techniques not taught in our medical schools. These little known techniques have been used safely and effectively on the international scene daily by thousands of doctors to surround microbes and cancer cells with active forms of oxygen that they can't live in. Then how can they live? The body then flushes them out. Therapies, devices, and products, how the doctors use them all over the world, and a consumer-patient guide: What to watch out for. Part 3: Evidence -- historical and modern proof of active oxygen's effectiveness, its 50-year prolific use internationally, and the top quality documentation proving its safety. Lists of doctors, Naturopaths, clinics, products, and contacts. Flood Your Body With Oxygen is written in a lively conversational style for everyone with a body. You, your family, your doctor, the farmers, and everybody else will be amazed at the simple powerful results historically obtained from these unpublicised techniques. { 594pp, 155x230mm, September 2003; PB, £18.99, 0962052728:9780962052729 , Energy Publications }

USING ALTERNATIVE HEALTH THERAPIES : A Qualitative Analysis [Jacqueline Low] Provides a distinctive sociological inquiry into the perspectives and social issues surrounding the use of alternative therapies. Dr Low presents the experiences of twenty-one Canadians who use alternative approaches to health care. The people she spoke with sought out alternative approaches in order to solve health problems for which they had previously found little or no redress. In using alternative therapies they developed ever-expanding networks of alternative health care, composed of alternative practitioners, health care professionals, and other lay users of alternative therapies. Through participating in alternative approaches, and interacting with others who use them, these informants began to take on alternative ideologies of health and healing. For some, these beliefs became a mechanism through which they transformed their subjective perceptions of health status for the better. Others became so enamoured of alternative approaches to healing that they sought training as practitioners. All of the participants found that they had to manage the socially constructed deviant identities they acquired through their participation in alternative therapies. { 160pp, 155x230mm, May 2004; PB, £12.99, 1551302640:9781551302645 , Canadian Scholars' Press }

MEDICINE OF THE GODS : Basic Principles of Ayurvedic Medicine, 2nd Edition [Chris Morgan] Ayurveda is an Asian medical system which has its beginnings in India during approximately the sixth century BC and thrives even to the present day. Medical ideas underpin a great deal of Eastern thought especially Tantrism, alchemy, yoga and the science of love. This book is not intended as a series of health tips or as a textbook for the clinical practice of medicine, which in the Ayurveda tradition requires at least seven years intensive training. The book is aimed at students and lovers of South Asian culture, perhaps also anthropologists and others with a need for a straightforward introduction to the core principles of another scientific tradition. { 126pp, 145x215mm, June 2002; PB, £10.00, 1869928377:9781869928377 , Mandrake of Oxford }
SIMPLE GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL HEALING [Stanley Peele] Many people would like to heal others by touch as was done by Jesus 2000 years ago. Spiritual healing can be done by the use of simple concepts. It is not necessary to join secret societies; nor to memorise long phrases. Healing power is readily available. The process of spiritual healing is described in detail. Nothing is hidden. The book is of interest to all who wish to heal others, all who wish to be healed. It does not espouse the rejection of the normal medical procedures, but works together with doctors and other healing professions. This book shows that spiritual healing is a natural ability, available to everyone. Historically, spiritual healing has been wrapped in mystery. Yet healing can be done without the repetition of arcane phrases or entering into a secret society. Simple guide-lines are given in order to re-awaken the power to heal that lies unused within us. The actual healing technique that is used by the author is described in detail. Nothing is hidden. The author has made a surprising discovery: cancer is one of the diseases that responds very well to spiritual healing. The toughest one to heal? The common cold! Factored into the book are subjects of anger, forgiveness, meditation and preparation for healing. Also covered are the subjects of diet, fasting, sincerity and death. Perhaps the most difficult section in the book is the part that deals with facing one's dark side. All that is given in this book leads up the most important chapter: the subject of love. Each book is given a blessing by the author which is signified by a small letter "b" inside the back jacket. Those who will be interested in this book are: those interested in spiritual pursuits, those trying to increase their boundaries, those seriously ill, those wishing to heal, medical practitioners, and those looking for a miracle. { 128pp, 150x230mm, January 2001; PB, £8.99, 097124670X:9780971246706 , Four Corners (Tapestry) }

CANDIDA, THE DRUG-FREE WAY [Jo Dunbar] Candida is the common name for an overgrowth of yeast organism known as 'Candida Albicans'. Candida appears with many varying and seemingly unrelated symptoms it affects almost every part of the body and has become an umbrella term for any collection of symptoms of no identified cause. Because of the wide range of symptoms and the lack of positive diagnostic tests available, this gap has provided fertile ground for individuals of limited medical training to quickly hop on the band wagon and begin 'diagnosing' Candida for almost any condition or illness. Candida is a serious disorder, it is a disease of an internal environmental disturbance, and not simply a fungal infection, which is treated with anti-fungal medicines. It is important to know what caused the overgrowth of yeast so that the cause may be eliminated before the treatment program can begin. This book introduces you to a thorough drug-free treatment program, as well as tips on how to adapt your life-style comfortably to treating Candida. { 128pp, 140x215mm, August 2003; PB, £7.99, 1903784115:9781903784112 , Wellhouse Publishing Ltd }
COLITIS [Dr Tom Smith] We still do not know the causes of either main form of colitis, but we are getting closer. We do know, however, a lot about the changes that occur in the bowel of people with colitis, and how to return them to normal. It should be only a matter of time before we know why these changes happen, as well as what has happened. Colitis simply means 'inflammation of the large bowel' (the colon). Doctors use the word in only two contexts, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, known collectively to doctors as 'inflammatory bowel disease'. People may also link irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease to colitis. It is often difficult to persuade people with irritable bowel syndrome that this is what they have, that it is not a true 'colitis' and they do not have something more serious, such as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. Most of this book is devoted to ulcerative colitis and Crohn's, it would not be complete without chapters on how to distinguish these inflammatory bowel diseases from irritable bowel, diverticular disease and colon cancer, the symptoms of which can mimic those of colitis. { 128pp, 140x215mm, September 2003; PB, £7.99, 1903784123:9781903784129 , Wellhouse Publishing Ltd }
CROHN'S DISEASE [Dr Tom Smith] This book concentrates on Crohn's disease, but also has chapters on ulcerative colitis, mainly to explain their similarities and the differences between them. Its aim is to help to understand what is happening in the course of IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases), and how modern medicine is used to relieve them and to prevent the serious complications that caused so many tragedies in the past. The book starts by explaining how the normal bowel works. It shows how it can go wrong and how, if it becomes inflamed, it can produce the three main symptoms of diarrhoea, bleeding and mucus production. If they continue, your health deteriorates quickly: the book covers the methods by which doctors can correct them and help you towards recovery. It describes the tests and investigations provided in a modern gastroenterology unit, as the specialist makes the diagnosis and estimates the extent of the illness. It is not just the illness but how much of the bowel is affected that makes the difference in treatment and how quickly and completely recovery is made. Other bowel problems that mimic Crohn's disease are described and there is a section on the possible causes of Crohn's. { 111pp, 140x215mm, September 2004; PB, £7.99, 1903784166:9781903784167 , Wellhouse Publishing Ltd }

He also describes how to think through your depression, what you can do for yourself and how to change those negative thoughts.

MIGRAINE : The Drug-Free Way [Sue Dyson] Imagine someone is trying to drill a hole in your head, right through one of your eyes. Imagine your stomach is heaving, your sight disturbed by weird effects of light and shade. Imagine there are pins and needles in your fingers and toes, and your brain is so confused that you can't get out the words you want to say. Imagine you have migraine! That is an extreme description of what it is like to have a migraine attack, but a sufferer will recognise some of the symptoms. Even the "lucky" ones who only suffer from sickness and a throbbing, one-sided headache, that can be enough to incapacitate them for days on end. This book is aimed at anyone who feels that conventional medicine isn't the whole answer, it can of course be used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. This book looks at the dietary component that bedevils many migraine sufferers' lives. It's not just a question of cheese, red wine and chocolate -- there can be a much more complex pattern of food intolerances and sensitivities, if these can be identified real improvement can be achieved without large doses of prescription drugs. { 128pp, 140x215mm, September 2004; PB, £7.99, 1903784174:9781903784174 , Wellhouse Publishing Ltd }

SLEEPING WELL, THE DRUG-FREE WAY [Beth MacEoin] Good, restful, sleep is an important part of your total health, sufferers from sleep problems would give a lot for a good night's rest. There is no uniform pattern to sleep problems, a great deal depends on an individual's make-up. A poor night's sleep is often due to the fast, stressful pace of life that has now become normal, positive steps to manage stress need to be developed or a tense, wound-up state of mind results. Sleep problems include difficulties in switching off, frequent waking and a sense of being unrefreshed on waking. Other contributory factors include over-reliance on caffeine, alcohol or chemical sedatives to help us unwind. Bad working habits play a large part in preventing sound sleep. These can slowly creep up on us until they reach a problematic level before we realise that something must be done to rectify the situation. Why are we surprised that we find it difficult to switch off when trying to sleep? This book contains positive strategies to solve these problems and break the negative cycle. The major systems of alternative medicine included in this book have a different perspective to conventional medicine on the issue of sleep problems. { 128pp, 140x215mm, September 2003; PB, £7.99, 1903784131:9781903784136 , Wellhouse Publishing Ltd }
