Allergies, Disease in Disguise        Order
Carolee Bateson-Koch, DC, ND
Allergy is generally misunderstood. It can show up as almost any symptom, but is rarely diagnosed. Left untreated it can lead to serious degenerative disease. Asthma, migraines, arthritis, ulcers and obesity have all been linked to allergy. Fatigue, irritability, body aching, digestive problems and other vague ailments are typical of allergy.
Allergies, Disease in Disguise is the first book ever to explain how to achieve complete and permanent recovery. Drugs may relieve or manage symptoms but will never make a person well. Alternative, healthful treatments, based on an understanding of what allergy is and how it works in the body, can heal the underlying allergic condition so that no further treatment of any kind is required.
Dr. Bateson-Koch provides insight into why allergy is becoming more common and how it relates to environmental factors, food additives, diet, digestion, body chemistry, addiction, yeasts, molds, parasites and childhood illnesses. She then outlines her dynamic approach to allergy relief and explains why enzymes are the key to healing.
Following her program, you won't have to give up your pet, get allergy shots, rotate foods, keep diet diaries or cook allergy-free recipes for the rest of your life. You will not only recover and enjoy an allergy-free life, you will gain invaluable understanding of health and well-being. FISH 64 pages / 6 x 9 paper / color photos - #120406 - $15.95

The Breuss Cancer Cure        Order
Rudolph Breuss
Fasting has long been used in Europe both as a preventative measure and as a cure, particularly for degenerative conditions, and to purge the body of impurities or toxins. Knowledgeable in this tradition, Rudolph Breuss, a naturopathic practitioner, developed a 42-day juice fasting program to nourish the body but starve cancer.
Although fasting seems irrational when the body is already wasting away, Breuss' patients felt more alert and energetic as soon as they began the treatment. They continued to feel well throughout the fast. Unlike radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, the Breuss fast leaves the body strengthened and healthy.
Breuss also provides naturopathic and sometimes unusual treatment suggestions for a wide range of conditions from leukemia to rheumatism, from infertility to cramps. Translated from the original German, this book will give hope to many who previously have not had access to Breuss' simple, effective cures.
