A Porta Para a Eternidade
by Doug SimpsonDurante sua velhice, John, um professor de inglês aposentado do Ensino Médio, decide, finalmente, escrever sobre suas memórias. A sua história começa quando ele era criança, com a presença de um espírito da sua idade, que o visitava para brincar. Para John, Jason é uma criança normal como ele, e ele nunca parou para pensar de onde Jason vinha e para onde ia quando desaparecia. Ao passar dos anos, mais amigos se juntam a eles e, conforme John envelhece, mais e mais informações, sobre o mundo espiritual, são divididas com ele por esses amigos. Em A Porta para a Eternidade, John relata os diversos encontros que ele, sua família e amigos próximos vivenciam com espíritos, Mentores Espirituais, espíritos presos à terra, casas assombradas e visitas ao Paraíso. Explica também sobre grupos espirituais e o propósito de seus espíritos que reencarnam juntos, durantes diversas vidas, para, coletivamente, evoluírem e readquirirem seus estados originais: perfeitos, como quando Deus os criou.
A Pound of Prevention for a Healthier Life: How and Why Avoiding Exposures to Toxic Chemicals and Other Sources of Oxidative Stress, the Cause of Most Disease, Lowers the Odds of Getting Sick
by Harold I ZeligerA Pound of Prevention for a Healthier Life shows the connection between oxidative stress and the onset of virtually all disease and discusses the causes of oxidative stress induced disease and ways to prevent it. The book includes a unique questionnaire for predicting disease onset in seemingly healthy people, and shows how steps taken to prevent any one disease may prevent many other unrelated diseases.Dr. Harold I. Zeliger, a chemical toxicologist who has been researching the causes of non-communicable diseases for more than 40 years, demonstrates how elevated oxidative stress is responsible for attacks on virtually all body organs and systems and how it triggers the onset of numerous diseases, including ADHD, autism, heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer and numerous others. The many sources of oxidative stress include not only exposures to toxic chemicals such as pesticides, air pollutants, PCBs and organic solvents, but also to radiation, tobacco smoke, eating some foods, pharmaceutical drug use, illnesses a person already has, emotional stress and others.Zeliger's research shows how elevated oxidative stress need not come from a single source, but can come from multiple sources, and that it is total oxidative stress, no matter what the source or sources, that causes disease. The Oxidative Stress Index, which can be individually arrived at from the questionnaire in the book, allows the reader to determine his or her oxidative stress level, which sources are responsible for it, and what actions can be taken to reduce it and lower the likelihood of disease onset.
A Practical Approach to Pharmaceutical Policy
by Andreas SeiterPharmaceuticals are an essential component of health care. But for many people in low- and middle-income countries, access to the medicines they need to prevent or treat severe illnesses is limited. Typical problems are lack of availability, costs that exceed the individual's purchasing power or lack of competent "agents" - health workers that are well trained to give the correct advice on which medicines to take. Pharmaceutical policy is the part of health policy that aims at addressing these problems and increasing access to safe, effective and affordable medicines for all patients. There are many obstacles against achieving these goals. Such obstacles can arise from financial interests on the side of suppliers and health care providers, who may benefit from charging higher prices and issuing more prescriptions than might be justified from a clinical and economic viewpoint. Or from rogue suppliers trying to introduce low quality or counterfeit drugs into markets with less effective regulation. Also, corruption and ineffective bureaucracies sometimes interfere with well intended programs to offer access to essential medicines for the poor. This book offers policy makers a hands-on approach, tested in the World Bank's field work in many countries, for assessing the pharmaceutical sector, recognizing typical "patterns of dysfunction" and developing strategies to quickly deal with the most urgent problems while at the same time building a platform for sustainable long term policy. It offers examples from a variety of low- and middle income countries and provides practical assessment tools for policy makers. The book ends with the author's outlook on future developments in this complex policy field.

A Psychonaut's Guide to the Invisible Landscape: The Topography of the Psychedelic Experience
by Daniel Pinchbeck Dan CarpenterA bold cartography of the inner landscape visible only to those experiencing altered states• Presents the psychedelic experience as an objective landscape that embodies the Other, rather than a subjective state of mind• Provides corroboration of phenomena encountered by those who venture into this domainJourneying into the invisible world revealed by his use of the dissociative psychedelic DXM (dextromethorphan), Dan Carpenter found that what he experienced was not simply subjective sensations and psychological states but an objective world of familiar, if inordinately odd, landmarks and characters. The running diary he kept of these voyages recounts impressions of a landscape charted by other travelers into this Inner Space and includes descriptions of many of the same phenomena recorded by such mind travelers as Terence and Dennis McKenna, Alexander and Ann Shulgin, and others who have experienced the hive mind--the pool of all consciousness. Into this territory where expression is like chaos theory, where oddly symmetrical order manifests out of the seemingly anarchic swirl of images and events, the author ventures with the mind-set of a naturalist, accepting whatever might be rather than what he hopes he might find. What emerges is not a location crafted by subjective experience, but a landscape that embodies the Other and that represents a conscious state in which the barriers between the self and the not-self dissolve.
A Pílula da Imortalidade - Já Disponível
by Richard Stooker Irina MaiaO que causa o nosso envelhecimento? Primeiro, isto parece uma pergunta parva. Envelhecer é um aspecto intrínseco da condição humana e tomamo-lo por garantido... simplesmente... acontece. Mas vivemos num mundo de causa e efeito. Se o envelhecimento é um efeito, qual é a causa? A forma mais comum de pensarmos nisto é da perspectiva de que os nossos corpos são físicos e eventualmente gastam-se, tal como os nossos carros, as nossas casas e até os nossos computadores. Isto é conhecido como a teoria do envelhecimento pelo "desgaste". Mas os nossos corpos são diferentes desses objectos, porque estão vivos e, em condições óptimas de saúde, regeneram-se a si próprios, sempre que possível. Os cortes saram, os ossos voltam a crescer e por aí fora. De facto, cada dia milhões das nossas células morrem no decurso das suas funções. E são substituídas por novas células. Os nossos corpos conseguem por vezes até recuperar tecidos danificados, incluindo o próprio cérebro. No entanto, em certo ponto, os nossos corpos perdem a capacidade regenerativa. cerca dos 40 anos, deixamos de conseguir reparar células e processar toda a proteína das nossas células mortas. O medo da morte e o desejo de viver (jovens) para sempre, tem obcecado a humanidade desde os primórdios da nossa espécie. De uma forma ou doutra, temos procurado pela Fonte da Juventude, para nos tornarmos imortais eternamente jovens. Nos últimos cem a cento e cinquenta anos, a esperança de vida média das pessoas aumentou consideravelmente. O crédito vai principalmente para um melhor saneamento, antibióticos, melhores cuidados natais e infantis e um aumento do fornecimento alimentar. Removemos ou reduzimos dramaticamente as causas de morte infantil e adulta. Vivemos mais tempo porque mais de nós estão a chegar a uma idade avançada. No entanto chegados lá, as principais causas de mor

A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation
by Jacoby BallardQueer critique, queer practice: embodied teachings for healing from trauma and social injustice.Jacoby Ballard provides an empowering and affirming guide to embodied healing through yoga and the dharma, grounded in the brilliance, resilience, and lived experiences of queer folks.Part I deconstructs the ways mainstream yoga perpetuates queer- and transphobia and other systemic oppressions, exploring the intersections of yoga, capitalism, cultural appropriation, and sexual violence. Ballard also addresses the trauma--complex, vicarious, historical, and collective--perpetuated against queer communities. In response, he offers tools for self-compassion, tonglen, lovingkindness, and grounding, and helps readers explore questions like: • What is trauma? How is it a product of injustice--and how can healing it create justice? • The world won't stop being homo- and transphobic, so how do I encounter that in a way that does the least harm? • How do we love what is uniquely trans about us? • What are affinity groups, and why do we need them?In part II, Ballard offers a queer-centered, fully embodied, and equity-rooted practice with meditations, practices, and sequences for processing and healing from trauma individually and in community. He explains concepts like lovingkindness, letting go, compassion, joy, forgiveness, and equanimity through a queer lens, and pairs each with corresponding meditations, practices, and beautiful line drawings of queer bodies.Enhanced with stories from Ballard's personal practice and professional experience teaching yoga in schools, prisons, conferences, and his weekly Queer and Trans Yoga class, A Queer Dharma is a guidebook, reclamation, and unapologetically queer heart offering for true healing and transformation.
