Master Manipulator: The Explosive True Story of Fraud, Embezzlement, and Government Betrayal at the CDC
by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Sharyl Attkisson James Ottar GrundvigThe explosive true story of fraud, embezzlement, and government betrayal. In 2000, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) carried out a secret mission to bury, skew, and manipulate data in six vaccine safety studies, in a coordinated effort to control the message that "vaccines do not cause autism.” They did so via secret meetings and backtesting health-care data. The CDC invested tens of millions of dollars in a foreign health-care data analytics startup run by Danish scientist Poul Thorsen, a move to ensure that no link ever surfaced. But fate had other ideas. The agency soon learned it couldn’t control Thorsen. In 2011, the US Justice Department indicted him for the theft of more than $1 million of CDC grant money.Master Manipulator exposes the CDC’s hidden agenda for the cover-up. Influenced by Big Pharma money, future high-paying jobs, and political lobbyists, CDC executives charted a course different than what the findings of earlier vaccine safety studies revealed. The CDC needed an outsider to "flatten” the results of the data, while building an exit strategy: a fall guy in case the secret plan was exposed. Thorsen fit the bill nicely, conducting studies overseas. But the CDC’s plan backfired, as Thorsen took the money to the bank and the power went to his head. It would take years for his fraud scheme funneling CDC grant money to a Danish university and then back to a CDC bank account he controlled to play out.Master Manipulator is a true story of fraud and betrayal, and an insider’s view of what takes place behind the closed doors of agencies and drug companies, and with the people tasked to protect the health of American children. It’s a cautionary tale of the dangers of blind trust in the government and the health-care industry.

Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body: You Can Be Your Own Cure
by Brandy GillmoreAMAZON #1 BESTSELLERA captivating must-read, this book unveils the astounding hidden potential of the human mind. If you are interested in alternative healing, or if you have been struggling for years with your own recovery, then you will not want to miss this book.Brandy Gillmore reveals the groundbreaking research that enabled her to heal herself from a debilitating condition deemed incurable. Since then, Brandy has been able to show others how to heal themselves from a wide range of pain and illnesses and has also demonstrated mind-body healing using medical equipment. Due to unprecedented results, Brandy's work has been featured in several documentaries and docuseries. Now, for the first time, Brandy shares her research through this remarkable book so that you too can unlock the boundless potential of your own mind.In Part One, this book takes you on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Starting Brandy's accident and the disheartening news from her doctors that there was nothing anyone could do for her, it moves onto Brandy's desperate quest to find a cure, and all evidence continued to point to the mind as holding the ability to activate the body's innate self-healing mechanism. However, despite the evidence, Brandy was still skeptical. She had already tried practices like "mind over matter" meditation, and the power of belief, but none of them worked to heal her body. Furthermore, given the severity of Brandy's condition, it seemed impossible to her that her mind could heal her physical body.As Brandy delved further into medical research, she was astonished by her findings. Not only did she uncover concealed studies that vividly illustrated the mind's potential to impact on our physical body, but she also discovered scientifically documented information about the body's energy that challenged her preconceived notions about health.For example: - Did you know that people with multiple personalities can experience different illnesses in different personalities? For example, one personality may have back pain, while another may have asthma. Medical research has even documented a case of a woman who was blind in certain personalities but had normal vision in others.- Did you know that "energy" in the body is not a spiritual concept but has actually been medically documented? In fact, the medical scientist who first documented energy in the body (biophotons) in the 1920s was nominated for a Nobel Prize eleven times!As Brandy continued to explore each medical anomaly, from the placebo effect to spontaneous remission and everything in between, she was able to uncover even more obscure research and gain clarity as to what she needed to do to activate her body's self-healing mechanisms. That's when she began creating a step-by-step process. Over the years, this process has further evolved. Brandy now calls it the "GIFT method" because, as the name suggests, when we connect with our own innate ability to heal ourselves, it truly becomes a life-changing gift.In Part Two, Brandy shares this incredible step-by-step method, along with inspiring stories of individuals who have used this process of mind-body-energy healing to transform their lives and achieve self-healing. It is truly incredible what we are all capable of.

This groundbreaking political biography richly weaves together medicine, disability narratives, and presidential history.Christy Ottaviano Books
Master of the Mysteries
by Louis Sahagun"And for anyone wishing to learn more about Manly Hall, Louis Sahagun's gripping biography is an insightful look at the life and times of one of the last century's most important mystical thinkers."--The Fortean TimesIn 1919, a Canadian teenager with a sixth grade education arrived by train to the wilds of Los Angeles. Within a decade he had transformed himself into a world-renowned occult scholar.His name was Manly Palmer Hall, author of the landmark publication The Secret Teachings of All Ages, regarded as the best introduction to Western esoteric ideas, and the founder of the Philosophical Research Society, which houses one of the biggest occult libraries in the United States.Hall became the twentieth century's most prolific writer and speaker on ancient philosophies, mysticism, and magic, and a confidant of Hollywood celebrities and politicians.

Master the Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide for Women
by Ali NolanA no-nonsense, interactive guide that empowers all women at all levels to run their strongest, best marathon everAs recently as 1966, women were forbidden to run in the marathon. Professionals—including doctors—believed it was physically impossible and dangerous for women to run more than a mile and a half. But as with many other barriers women have faced over time, we fought our way in. Today, women make up almost half of the marathoning population. Yet most marathon training manuals are written by men. And while these men are experts when it comes to how men can and should train, women need training programs tailored to our bodies—to our unique strengths and weaknesses—so that we can avoid injuries and run at our peak. The programming in this book was created by a woman, specifically for women. Master the Marathon is a comprehensive guide to marathon training for women at all levels of running—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The book takes you through everything you need to know to be prepared for the 26.2 miles of the marathon, including detailed training plans, strength training programs, building your mental awareness of your physical body, nutrition, guidance on finding the best marathon for you, identifying and avoiding potential injuries, inspirational advice, and other unexpected pieces of wisdom. Both incredibly practical and deeply motivating, Master the Marathon will help you unlock the strength and determination inside you to embark on the spectacular journey that is the marathon.
