HEALTH / ARTHRITIS "This book contains a wealth of practical information that can bring dramatic improvement to those suffering from arthritis. Raquel Martin emphasizes that when a multidisciplinary approach that draws upon natural therapies is used, arthritis sufferers are able to diminish--and often arrive at a cure for--their suffering." --John Hart, M.D. "I enthusiastically recommend this book, not only for people with arthritis, but for anyone who wishes to explore new ways to achieve optimum health. I also recommend it to my colleagues who would like to learn more about nutrition, phytonutrients, and alternative or complementary medicine." --Ralph C. Lee, M.D. "Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen Alternative, it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. . . . Well, she's done it again. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information, and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all." --David Getoff, N.D., Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist Each year thousands of people struggling with the debilitating effects of arthritis hear their doctors say that they will just have to learn to live with the pain. After experiencing this firsthand, Raquel Martin was determined to find a better way. Together with Dr. Karen Romano, Martin developed a comprehensive self-help program designed to prevent and reverse degenerative inflammatory disease without drugs and their unwelcome or dangerous side effects. The authors show readers how to address the causes rather than merely medicate the symptoms of arthritis by implementing holistic lifestyle changes--from using medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, and natural hormone therapy to employing whole foods, exercise, and chiropractic care. Thoroughly researched and clearly presented, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally guides readers through the labyrinth of recent medical studies related to the effects and treatment of this disease. In addition, it discusses the exclusion of alternative therapies from most insurance coverage and provides advice on the action consumers can take to address this. Part practical medical resource, part encouraging guide, Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally will inspire all readers to take charge of all aspects of their health. RAQUEL MARTIN, who lives in Georgia with her husband, is the author of The Estrogen Alternative and Today's Health Alternative. KAREN J. ROMANO, R.N., D.C., also a resident of Georgia, is a chiropractor in private practice and has taught nutrition at Life University in Marietta.

Well done." --Spalding Gray, actor, performer, and author of Morning, Noon, and Night and Impossible Vacation "This is the best contemporary overview of MDMA, one which simultaneously succeeds for popular and scientific audiences.

The book also offers exercises in specific spiritual healing techniques, including the use of herbs and magical baths, ways to read and rebalance the energy body, removal of spirit intrusions and unhealthy energies, restoration of Ashe (spiritual Power), and preparation for the advanced technique of soul retrieval.

For the ancient Druids, the healing and magical properties of herbs were inseparable from the larger cycles of the seasons, the movements of the planets, and the progression of a human life. A Druid's Herbal shows the reader how to use herbs when creating rituals to celebrate festivals and significant life passages such as births, house blessings, weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. Drawing on extensive research and a deep personal experience with Pagan traditions, Ellen Evert Hopman explores the history and folklore surrounding the eight major Celtic festivals: Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Beltaine, Summer Solstice, Lugnasad, and Fall Equinox. Included in each discussion are complete instructions on the medicinal and magical uses of the herbs associated with each celebration. Using these Celtic traditions as examples, the author suggests ways to incorporate the symbolic and magical power of herbs into personal rituals that honor all phases of life from childbirth to last rites. Also included are chapters on how to prepare herbal tinctures, salves, and poultices; herbs used by the Druids; herbal alchemy and the planets; and the relationships between herbs and sacred places.
