Download or read book Fighting Cancer written by Robert Gorter, M.D., Ph.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighting Cancer describes the Gorter Model, an integrative, nontoxic approach to cancer treatment that mobilizes the immune system. It was developed by Robert Gorter, MD, PhD, who in 1976 recovered from Stage IV testicular cancer by using nontoxic treatment and no chemotherapy or radiation. Based on self-experience, extensive research, and decades of clinical practice, the treatment consists of supporting the immune system using fever therapy (hyperthermia), inoculation with immune cells, the use of the botanical mistletoe (Viscum album)—the single most commonly prescribed anti-cancer medication in much of Europe—supportive nutrients, and diet and lifestyle changes. Organized into three parts, Fighting Cancer presents a clear overview of the model, the research behind it, and strategies for strengthening natural immunity. Emphasizing stress reduction and minimizing toxic exposure, the authors provide practical guidance for patients: questions to ask doctors after diagnosis and advice for evaluating options, gathering information, and getting second opinions. Included are powerful testimonials from patients—most of whom have outlived their prognosis and, in some cases, achieved complete and sustained remission.
Download or read book Reverse Bad Posture Exercises written by Morgan Sutherland and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverse Bad Posture in Just 15 Minutes a Day Neglected postures, such as rounding your low back while sitting in front of the computer, standing for hours stooped over, sleeping improperly, and lifting poorly, can all lead to chronic back pain. In today's culture, everyone seems to be constantly plugged into an electronic device. Sedentary lifestyles result in hours spent with your body in a human question mark--head forward and shoulders rounding. Text Neck and Forward Head Posture Text neck has been used to describe the repetitive-use injury that occurs to your upper back, neck muscles, forearms, wrists, and hands caused by a combination of poor posture, excessive texting, and smartphone use. A common text neck symptom is a crick in the neck and upper shoulders. This can develop from overstressing your neck muscles from excessive texting, awkward sleep positions, harshly turning your head during exercise, and from clocking hours of poor posture hunched over your desk. If you have text neck, then it's also likely that you have rounded shoulders, which cause your upper back muscles to overstretch and tighten the chest muscles. This posture can potentially compress the brachial plexus, which can lead to a number of problems, ranging from numbness in the hands to thoracic outlet syndrome or carpal tunnel-like symptoms. Reverse Bad Posture Exercises to the Rescue! The 21 exercises in Reverse Bad Posture Exercises are designed to fix forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and hunched back posture in just 15 minutes per day. Take Reverse Bad Posture Exercises everywhere you go, and you can feel confident that you will be able to improve your posture and prevent traumatic neck, shoulder, and back pain episodes from wreaking havoc on your life. Remember, you are the best version of yourself when you adapt good posture habits. You'll feel happier, healthier, and maybe even look 3 inches taller.
Download or read book Somatics written by Thomas Hanna and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2004-08-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When our bodies start to feel stiff, sore, or tired, we often say that we're "getting old." But is that really the problem? In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Hanna shows that much of the physical decline associated with aging is not inevitable but avoidable. Building on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Hanna's practical program for the mind and body proves once and for all that problems you've always thought of as the symptoms of age--stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and, at times, even high blood pressure--need never occur if you maintain conscious control of your nerves and muscles. He shows how the body can turn a habitual action into an involuntary, destructive pattern called sensory-motor amnesia, and demonstrates a simple but effective method for conquering these habits with sensory-motor awareness. With only a five-minute routine once a day, you can maintain the pleasures of a limber, healthy body indefinitely and escape the confines of age or injury. Practical and easy to use, Somatics is the essential guide to reversing the physical effects of aging--or staving them off before they even begin.
