Download or read book Miracle Medicines of the Rainforest written by Thomas David and published by Inner Traditions / Bear & Co. This book was released on 1997-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A doctor's astounding story of promising new treatments from the rainforests of Brazil for diseases that compromise the immune system. During a working visit to Brazil, Dr. Thomas David was given a packet of leaves and bark by a native patient as thanks for his work, and a shaman gave him a recipe for a tea used by the rainforest people to treat a variety of ailments. Dr. David began using these plants in his clinical research in Europe and soon discovered that they were producing amazing results among patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other diseases that compromise the immune system. Preliminary studies performed at Stanford and Harvard have substantiated his findings, bringing Dr. David international attention for his groundbreaking work. Dr. David's story is significant not only for its account of research that may herald a major breakthrough in curing diseases that have been the scourge of the modern world, but also for its emphasis on the vast and largely unrecognized pharmacopoeia of the rainforest that is in imminent danger of being lost forever.

Download or read book A Different Mickiewicz written by Michal Kuziak and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mickiewicz who emerges from the texts included herein is an artist whose work centers on the experience of modernityan attempt to diagnose it and to formulate his own response. At the same time, that response takes divergent forms in the poet's work: from acceptance through rejection to paraphrase and reworking; of no less importance is the concealed presence of modernity in his work. The Mickiewicz of A Different Mickiewicz is above all a writer of contradictions, aporias, and an experience that is impossible and simultaneously necessary; it is defined by many orders of meanings that differentiate his texts' formulations of the problems they address. This phenomenon manifests itself in the poet's writings in connection with the formula of writing, the category of subjectivity (including the author's subjectivity), the vision of history, the experience of reality, the construction of ideological and cultural projects, problems of cognition and religion. Micha? Kuziak. Full Professor. Institute of Polish Literature of the University of Warsaw (Department of Comparative Studies). Author of books and articles on romantic and contemporary literature and the theory of literature and comparative literary studies.

This is the story of a boy asking many questions as his life journey begins in the evangelical church setting of America during the indulgent, colorful decade of the 1970s. His yearning for truth and understanding cause him to trust the authorities that be. The tendency of life is to bury the past and move on. What else can we do? He pursues happiness and builds his kingdom on earth. However, in midlife, his kingdom begins to unravel and crumble. Then the world begins to crumble. In the depths of unforeseen despair, he cries out to God, "Why?" As the events of life unfold, are they random happenings? Is it just coincidence, or is there an organized script to explain the chaos? What is the future of mankind and planet earth? He listens but no longer trusts the status quo of what the world, the government, and the church are saying. Can any sense be made in a world where immorality has become the prevailing reasoning? History foretells the future. His discovery through a lifetime of experience is, there exists only one source, and it is full and complete. His hope revealed is that your story becomes a story of purpose, destiny, discovery, and most importantly...truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the darkest hours of human history, one woman’s determination to survive and thrive shone like a beacon of hope. This is the inspiring memoir of Cesia Sugarfine, a Holocaust survivor, whose life’s journey took her through unimaginable trials, but whose unyielding will to live and love conquered inconceivable odds. Her memoir stands as a lasting reminder of the systematic annihilation of the Jews in Europe during the Holocaust. It unequivocally challenges the falsehoods peddled by Holocaust deniers, shedding light on the historical truth and the brutalities that took place. In a world where anti-Semitism remains a pressing concern, Cesia’s story serves as a call to action. By sharing her experiences, the hope is to educate future generations about events from the past. History isn’t always comfortable. Through education and remembrance, we can combat prejudice and racism and strive to ensure that the phrase “never again” becomes a reality.
