Download or read book Herbs Demystified written by Holly Phaneuf and published by Hachette Go. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scores of books on herbs already available generally restate old, often outdated lore about herbs. Now, Herbs Demystified does something entirely different: It is the first book to explain exactly what herbs actually do inside our bodies and how they achieve their effects. Biochemist Holly Phaneuf covers 100 of the most popular herbs-astragalus, black cohosh, chamomile, echinacea, garlic, gingko, ginseng, milk thistle, pine bark extract, saw palmetto, valerian, and many others. Phaneuf's introductory overview lays out the basic chemical principles that underlie the journey herbal molecules make in our bodies. Then, for each of the herbs, she covers its history and folklore; explains what the herb really does-its evidence of action; its good uses and not so good uses, including the forms in which it is typically available and commonly reported dosages; interesting facts and the bottom line. Like no other herb book before, Herbs Demystified allows readers to custom-fit an herb to one's own particular concern, therefore minimizing trial and error.

Download or read book Demystifying Brahminism and Re Inventing Hinduism written by Satya Shri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Religion is a tool in the hands of the oppressor against the oppressed solely because he frames the commandments and calls them the God’s’, is an apt description of the Hindu social order. The book rips open the raw nerve of Hinduism—its invidious castes, positioned as a ‘God-ordained’ institution, commandeered by its freebooter priestly class while clandestinely establishing its religious, social and political hegemony through interpolation of its pristine and effulgent scriptures. The author boldly analyses this imbroglio through a microscopic analysis of these and more related issues: • How priests controlled the Hindu religious, social, educational and political apparatus? • How the dominant priestly class fractured the society into mutually antagonistic subordinated hierarchical segments, and ruled it by reserving all elite jobs for itself? • How the fiendish priesthood emasculated shudras by depriving them of the ‘shaastra and shastra’ (education and arms) and made them permanent ‘village servant classes’? • How the pretensions of attaining siddhis through 'meditation and penances' established priests as the ‘gods on earth’ for their assertions of ‘purity and effulgence’? • How ‘karma’, ‘reincarnation’ and ‘84-lakhs births’ theories were devised to justify fatalism and hierarchical gradation of varnas? • Can India be rightfully called the ‘vishvaguru’ and the mother of all civilisations? • How Buddhism effeminated Hindus and made them the doormats for the ruthless? • Why Hindus had to abandon their own, to adop foreign institutions of governance? • Why Hinduism should become a universal and proselytising faith and fight demographic challenges posed by Islam and Christianity?

Download or read book DEMYSTIFY written by Rajan Dubey and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A phenomenal journey of unveiling the Scientificity of Homoeopathy that has been mysteriously masked since time immemorial.” This book unfolds the latest, astonishing evidence-based discovery as to how foreign exogenous proteins are capable of disrupting the homeostasis of our body and predisposing it to chronic diseases or chronicity. Dr. Hahnemann has strongly asserted that, “Treat the person as one whole and not his individual parts”, which holds true because when a person falls ill, it’s the interior that gets disturbed first. This disturbance not only disseminates to the functional unit of the body, i.e., the cells, but also pervades the proteins, which form a major constituent of our body. Dr. Rajan Dubey, renowned for his scientific and evidence-based writing, has described the intricate process by which protein disturbance occurs and chronicity commences in our body. He also accentuates the role of external influences like emotions, diet and environment in governing our DNA and genes, whereby exciting and maintaining the disease process. To substantiate the scientificity of the Theory of Chronic Diseases proposed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and also to facilitate its easy and practical utility even in today’s era, we took up a retrospective study of a random sample of 30 patients from a pool of around 10,000 patients visiting MEDIGENE HOMOEOCARE, our clinical institute located in Mumbai. The purpose of the study was to trace down the precursor leading to chronicity in each patient. Amongst these, 10 cases are explained in complete detail to serve as a practical guide to the readers. An insight into the remedies, holding close proximity to the case and the differentiation between them, has been imparted as well.
