The Resonance Effect by Carolyn McMackin
The Resonance Effect is both the author’s story of her inspirational journey of having the courage to find her true calling and an account of the development a remarkable newly rediscovered treatment, frequency specific microcurrent (FSM), that takes advantage of the body’s ability to respond to frequencies in order to heal a number of chronic conditions. Carolyn McMakin, a chiropractor specializing in fibromyalgia and myofascial pain, describes her experience using a two-channel microcurrent device that has achieved astounding results that have changed medicine and created new possibilities for suffering patients over the past twenty years. Nerve pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathies, muscle pain, athletic performance, injury repair, joint pain, low back pain, neck pain, kidney stone pain, the kidney stones themselves, liver disease, diabetic wounds, brain and spinal cord injuries, PTSD, depression, shingles, asthma, ovarian cysts, abdominal adhesions, and scarring all respond to specific frequencies. McMakin explains that results are predictable, reproducible, and teachable-all without side effects-offering hope and healing to millions of people.
Power vs Force by David Hawkins
David R. Hawkins details how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas- how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. Dr. Hawkins, who worked as a ‘healing psychiatrist’ during his long and distinguished career, uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. This is a fascinating work that will intrigue readers from all walks of life! Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact, he’s governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control. Imagine – what if you had access to a simple yes-or-no answer to any question you wished to ask? A demonstrably true answer. Any question . . . think about it – from the Foreword We think we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control. – from the author’s Preface The universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious. Every act, thought, and choice adds to a permanent mosaic; our decisions ripple through the universe of consciousness to affect the lives of all.
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration : A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects by Weston A Price
A compendium of ancestral wisdom, Weston Price’s Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is considered a masterpiece by many nutrition researchers who followed in his footsteps. Weston Price, a dentist with interest in nutrition and health, travelled extensively, and observed the dietary habits of diverse cultures, including the Loetschental in Switzerland, Native Americans, Polynesians, Pygmies, and Australian Aboriginals, among many others. His extensive research materials include some 15,000 photographs, 4,000 slides, and many filmstrips. He observed that various diseases endemic to Western cultures of the 1920s and 1930s were rarely present in non-Western cultures, and that as non-Western groups abandoned indigenous diets and adopted Western patterns of living, they showed increases in typical Western diseases. He concluded that Western methods of commercially preparing and storing foods stripped away vitamins and minerals necessary to prevent these diseases.
Initially, the medical and scientific communities vigorously rejected this controversial work as lacking scientific precision, nevertheless, as time went on, research has confirmed his observations and modern medical orthodoxy is slowly accepting that lifestyle and diet are a major factor, perhaps the major factor, in the degenerative diseases that plague the developed world. Many have credited this book with greatly improving their health.
The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker MD & Gary Selden
The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker’s discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker’s struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.
Vibrational Medicine
Vibrational Medicine has gained widespread acceptance by individuals, schools, and health-care institutions nationwide as the textbook of choice for the study of alternative medicine. Trained in a variety of alternative therapies as well as conventional Western medicine, Dr. Gerber provides an encyclopedic treatment of energetic healing, covering subtle-energy fields, acupuncture, Bach flower remedies, homeopathy, radionics, crystal healing, electrotherapy, radiology, chakras, meditation, and psychic healing. He explains current theories about how various energy therapies work and offers readers new insights into the physical and spiritual perspectives of health and disease.
Rife’s Great Discovery by Barry Lynes
Rife’s Great Discovery is the final book by Barry Lynes about Royal Rife’s amazing discovery that “resonant frequency” therapy is a valid breakthrough alternative to chemical medicine’s limitations and failures. The author has devoted 30 years to this subject since his original, revolutionary book about Dr. Rife was published in April 1987 (The Cancer Cure That Worked: The Rife Report). This new, 2017 book provides incontrovertible evidence that Rife’s Universal Microscope did indeed shatter the magnification barrier that limits all other optical microscopes. That’s why Rife’s work was suppressed through bribery and threats. Rife was on the verge of transforming health treatments and costing the medical monopoly a fortune in lost drug products and fees. Rife’s Great Discovery exposes the widespread corruption that is rampant in traditional treatment practices. This book is the Cri De Coeur outcry against the miscarriage of justice done to Royal Rife and to desperate patients everywhere who suffer from many diseases. Rife’s discoveries might cure millions of people if his findings were objectively tested and used. Like France’s “Dreyfus Affair” scandal, a massive restructuring of America’s cancer treatment and research program is now a growing public demand. This includes a complete overhaul of the medical education system and its basic curriculum. Royal Rife’s wondrous scientific discoveries and inventions will gain historic recognition in the future. Just as the criminal actions of many medical officials will be publicly acknowledged and the long-delayed verification of Rife’s findings will alter the healing fundamentals and doctoring procedures of standard medical practice.
The True Power of Water by Masaru Emoto
The words and pictures you are about to see will open a new world of possibilities for you — just as my research has done for me. In this book you will learn of the unique properties of water and its ability to improve your health and your life. You will see the effect each of us has on water — not only the water we drink but also the water that makes up 70 percent of the human body and, most importantly, what happens to that water as we interact with each other. 2005 marks the beginning of the United Nations Decade of Water. It is our individual responsibility to learn all we can about water, the most precious resource on our planet, and to help shift the consciousness through our thoughts, through our words and prayers, and through our commitment to respect each other with love and gratitude. May our understanding of water help bring peace to all humankind. Masaru Emoto
Healing is Voltage by Jerry L Tennant MD
Theodor Heinrich Boveri was a German biologist. He also reasoned in 1902 that a cancerous tumor begins with a single cell in which the makeup of its chromosomes becomes scrambled, causing the cells to divide uncontrollably. This was the predominant theory until 2014 when Thomas Seyfried et al proved that genetic changes were secondary in cancer. Thus physicians have been searching for the cause of cancer since the time of Hippocrates in 400 BC. Most research has been focused on finding the causes of genetic changes. Perhaps the cause of cancer has been elusive because the evidence supports the theory that the cause is a reversal of polarity instead of biochemical. In addition, one must consider that each organ has its own battery pack: a stack of muscle batteries known as an acupuncture meridian. The reversal of polarity occurs in a battery in a circuit and the accompanying loss of oxygen with low voltage tells local stem cells to make a placenta (cancer) to attempt to correct the low voltage and oxygen via fermentation since there is inadequate oxygen to keep that organ functional. The On switch for cancer is an accumulation of electron stealers in an acupuncture circuit; the Off switch for cancer is removing the causes of low voltage and inserting enough electrons to reverse the polarity back to normal.
A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.
The Vital Question by Nick Lane
The Earth teems with life: in its oceans, forests, skies and cities. Yet there’s a black hole at the heart of biology. We do not know why complex life is the way it is, or, for that matter, how life first began. In The Vital Question, award-winning author and biochemist Nick Lane radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a solution to conundrums that have puzzled generations of scientists.
For two and a half billion years, from the very origins of life, single-celled organisms such as bacteria evolved without changing their basic form. Then, on just one occasion in four billion years, they made the jump to complexity. All complex life, from mushrooms to man, shares puzzling features, such as sex, which are unknown in bacteria. How and why did this radical transformation happen?
The answer, Lane argues, lies in energy: all life on Earth lives off a voltage with the strength of a lightning bolt. Building on the pillars of evolutionary theory, Lane’s hypothesis draws on cutting-edge research into the link between energy and cell biology, in order to deliver a compelling account of evolution from the very origins of life to the emergence of multicellular organisms, while offering deep insights into our own lives and deaths.
Both rigorous and enchanting, The Vital Question provides a solution to life’s vital question: why are we as we are, and indeed, why are we here at all?
The Cure for all Diseases by Hulda Clarke
This book describes the causes of both common and extraordinary diseases and gives specific instructions for their cure. The sick have been held hostage for their money or intangible assets since time immemorial. Doctors, even primitive and natural healers, surround themselves with mystery as they use herbs or chemicals and incantations or ‘prognoses’ to help the sick recover. Today, the medical industry (doctors and their suppliers and insurers) take a significant amount of the worker’s earnings. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could all go back to gardening or some other primitive and useful endeavour? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the sick could join them? The most promising discovery in this book is the effectiveness of electricity to kill viruses, bacteria and parasites. Does this mean you can cancel your appointment with your clinical doctor? No it does not. Killing your invaders does not make you well instantly. But happily, at your next doctor visits she or he will be removing drugs, not adding them. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, no cancer, no HIV/AIDS, no migraines, no lupus and so on!
Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra
More than twenty-five years ago, Quantum Healing helped transform Deepak Chopra into a cultural phenomenon. Now Dr. Chopra, hailed by Time as “the poet-prophet of alternative medicine,” returns to this groundbreaking work, adding the latest scientific research as well as expanded thoughts on the connection between body and mind. Inspired by the unexplained recovery of patients in his own practice who had been given just a few months to live, Dr. Chopra began his search for answers. After returning to his native India to explore humanity’s most ancient healing tradition, Ayurveda, he combined those insights with Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics. What he discovered–a “network of intelligence” in the human body with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, even aging itself–forms the basis of Quantum Healing. In this new edition, Dr. Chopra once again offers a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing. Praise for Quantum Healing “Quantum Healing didn’t set out to cure cancer or Alzheimer’s or any other intractable disease. It set out to see the human body, and human existence in general, through wiser eyes. As a scientist I’m passionate about genes and the brain; as a person I’m totally fascinated by the origins of consciousness. Quantum Healing galvanized my intuition that these areas do not have to be separated.”–Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from the new foreword
Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert
Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system? In her groundbreaking book “Molecules of Emotion, ” Candace Pert — a neuroscientist whose extraordinary career began with her 1972 discovery of the opiate receptor — provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.Her pioneering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomolecular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies — or bodyminds — in ways we could never have imagined before. From explaining how there is a scientific basis to popular wisdom about phenomena such as ‘gut feelings, ‘ to making recent breakthroughs in cancer and AIDS research comprehensible, Pert provides us with an intellectual adventure of the highest order. Pert’s striking conclusion that it is our emotions and their biological components that establish the crucial link between mind and body does not, however, serve to repudiate modern medicine’s gains; rather, her findings complement existing techniques by offering a new scientific understanding of the power of our minds and our feelings to affect our health and well-being.

Dirty Genes by Dr Ben Lynch
After suffering for years with unexplainable health issues, Dr. Ben Lynch discovered the root cause-“dirty” genes. Genes can be “born dirty” or merely “act dirty” in response to your environment, diet, or lifestyle-causing lifelong, life-threatening, and chronic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, obesity, cancer, and diabetes.
Based on his own experience and successfully helping thousands of clients, Dr. Lynch shows you how to identify and optimize both types of dirty genes by cleaning them up with targeted and personalized plans, including healthy eating, good sleep, stress relief, environmental detox, and other holistic and natural means.
Many of us believe our genes doom us to the disorders that run in our families. But Dr. Lynch reveals that with the right plan in place, you can eliminate symptoms, and optimize your physical and mental health-and ultimately rewrite your genetic destiny.
