Publisher's Summary:

Growing and harvesting of medicinal plants for beneficial health and beauty

There are two main classes of medicinal preparations - herbal and pharmaceutical. Pharmaceutical drugs are either synthesized or refined substances. On the other hand, herbal medicine is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as labelled and final medicinal products containing parts of plants (underground or aerial), plant materials, or combinations of both, as their main active ingredient. Plant materials may come in the form of gums, juices, essential oils, fatty oils, and other similar substances. Herbal drugs may also contain starch or other additives to improve the needed adhesive quality for preparing tablets or pills. However, medicines that have plant material mixed with chemically-active substances are not considered herbal. These include drugs that contain small amounts of isolated plant constituents.

About time there's a book about harvesting!

What made the experience of listening to Growing Medicinal Plants the most enjoyable?

It was enjoyable because not only did it tell you how to grow but how to harvest the plants as well.

20 min long? wtf is this?

the narator was a dreadful microsoft sam. The book was short and not detailed at all. I would have rather read a short article, since they at least might have sources or other resourses.

Title: The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg

Subtitle: Accutane - the Truth That Had to Be Told

Author: Doug Bremner

Narrator: Steve Edwards

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-12-15

Publisher: Laughing Cow Books

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

In 2001 Hoffmann-La Roche's drug Accutane was selling in the billions worldwide as a treatment for acne. For those who suffered from extreme, scarring acne, it was something of a miraculous treatment; however evidence started to mount that for others it was a death sentence. Over the next few years, it was estimated that between 300 and 3,000 young people being prescribed Accutane since its launch had committed suicide. Dr. Doug Bremner, a professor of psychiatry and radiology at Emory University, found that the drug did have an effect on the brain likely to cause acute depression in some patients, which was not surprising as it is a molecular cousin of Vitamin A, which is known to cause depression in excessive quantities. One might think the drug company would have welcomed these findings. You might like to think again on that one. The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg is the account of what Hoffmann-La Roche did next, which was to prosecute a determined, energetic, and vindictive campaign against Dr. Bremner, designed to suppress his findings and destroy his career and livelihood. Knowing that the life of a whistleblower is rarely a happy one, why did Dr. Bremner decide to take anything that Hoffman-La Roche could throw at him rather than back down?

It could be that he had a strong belief that the public should be well informed about the side effects of drugs in order to be able to make an objective decision, but maybe there was also a more emotional one stretching back to an equally determined, energetic, and vindictive web of secrecy based on a pivotal and traumatic event in his childhood, which he was also determined to get to the bottom of. From the pen of the author of Before You Take That Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health, this is a truly riveting and emotional listen detailing just what it costs to take on the full might of one of the largest corporations in the world.

A Psychiatrist's Opinion

I have been following Dr. Bremner's work for many years, have heard him speak and have read several of his previous books. In this book he combines his own personal story with an account of how he stood up to a campaign to discedit him by the manufacter of Accutane. Largely as a result of Dr. Bremner's efforts, Accutane was pulled from the market, after having caused hundreds or thousands of suicides. Among his other accomplishments, Dr. Bremner must have single-handedly prevented more suicides than any other psychiatrist in North America. To me, he exemplifies how "biological psychiatrists" should approach mental health. Rather than promoting the standard genes-brain chemicals-medication version of biological psychiatry, which dominates the field today, Dr. Bremner's research and teaching is based on a truly balanced approach that gives the environment a prominent role. Most biological psychiatrists only pay lip service to the environment, social conditions and psychological trauma. Basically, in my view, the profession has been bought by Big Pharma, through grants, speakers' fees, ads in journals, free trips, honoraria, visits from attractive young drug reps and other enticements. There is tremendous peer pressure in psychiatry to keep this money flowing, and Dr. Bremner risked a lot by taking a stand on Accutane. I look forward to a future book by Dr.

Publisher's Summary:

Amazing Greek Ancient Herb Benefits!

I am tired of relying on pharmaceuticals and chemicals to deal with everyday common illnesses, from a cold to a headache to high blood pressure. Every medication we use, no matter how common or well researched, comes with intended and unintended effects. Some of these, such as the intended effects, are desired, like pain relief when taking pain relief medication. The problem is the unintended effects these medications cause in the body. I am not a doctor or a pharmacist, but I tend to rely on my common sense.

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection in the Medicine of Light is the second audiobook in the Called into Life by the Light Series of five eBooks and Audiobooks.

Part one is a detailed expansion of chapter IV: The Medicine of Light from the 2009 print book Called into Life by the Light, which was suppressed in April 2013. Part two is the script of the one-hour conversation I had with David Tumey on June 6, 2012. We discussed David's part in rediscovering Royal R. Rife's Ray Tube, reconstructing Rife's 1950s instrument, and shortening the time factor in producing the correct frequency, MOR (mortal oscillatory rate), which would devitalize (destroy) a particular cancer.

The listener will also hear of David's continuing efforts in this area as of July 21, 2013, when he updated parts of the June 6, 2013, conversation.

Part three is about Royal R. Rife, the timeline of his life, his beam ray instrument, universal microscope, and BX, the cancer causing microbe.

Part four is an update on royal rife's technology and influence in 2014.

Knowledge is power... be open minded!

This book does an excellent job of educating and informing the reader of the history and potential of "Light Medicine". Whether you are a health care professional or layperson, Bernard has made this a very easy read making you think about not just the medicine of light, but opening your mind regarding other possibilities and options out there. Who says it has to be just with the use of light? Knowledge is power... being informed and well versed on the options you have for yourself is the first and most important step in self advocacy. This is a very large component of this book that I apprectiated. I (jonathan banz, I am using my wife's account;)) am a healthcare professional and I PRACTICE as a physical therapist. I highlight the word practice because it is an ever-evolving field... just as is medicine. If we do not challenge and analyze the current ways we PRACTICE then we will never advance or become better at who we are and what we do. There is much out there we are yet to fully understand... if you can stay open minded and are willing to look through a different lense, you just might be surprised at what you see!! Thank you Bernie... this is an excellent book with an excellent message. Best of luck - Jonathan

PS: I received a free PDF version of the e-book to do an honest review. In no way was I told to give a positive review. The views above are of my own opinion based on the content of this book.

A JOURNEY FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT

As a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church and a friend of the author, Bernard Fleury, I read this e-book with great interest and an open mind. As a retired correctional administrator and educator and a certified spiritual director, this book offers great insight into aspects of the healing professions that many professionals have not or have refused to look at in considering the efficacy of alternative treatments to diseases that continue to baffle the medical field such as cancer. Light therapy, particularly the work of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, offers great hope for further research into elusive cancer cures. As this book so clearly illustrates, stepping outside the normal paths of scientific protocol can be a lonely and painful experience as it was for Dr.

Title: Pushing for Midwives

Subtitle: Homebirth Mothers and the Reproductive Rights Movement

Author: Christa Craven

Narrator: Linda Velwest

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-15

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

With the increasing demand for midwives among U.S. women, reproductive rights activists are lobbying to loosen restrictions that deny legal access to homebirth options. In Pushing for Midwives, Christa Craven presents a nuanced history of women's reproductive rights activism in the U.S. She also provides an examination of contemporary organizing strategies for reproductive rights in an era increasingly driven by "consumer rights". By framing the midwifery struggle through a political economic perspective on reproductive rights, Pushing for Midwives offers an in-depth look at the strategies, successes, and challenges facing midwifery activists in Virginia. Craven examines how decades-old race and class prejudices against midwives continue to impact opposition to - as well as divisions within - women's contemporary legislative efforts for midwives. She argues that this recognition is vital for both scholars and activists if they hope to maintain their commitment to expanding reproductive rights for all women.

Hard to listen to

I found it really hard to listen to this, possibly just me but the narrators voice was robotic and a bit too high pitched. I'm a student midwife and the book deals with a very interesting topic for me but I honestly wish I hadn't wasted a credit on this. I'd happily read a hard copy!

Disappointment

The book was not what I expected as someone facing prostate cancer. The content was anecdotal, at best.

nice basic info

Everything in this book is very accurate. The same things happened to me. it is a good guideline to the beginning of your recovery. Just remember that in a year or two you WILL be back to almost normal. Good luck

Good information

Title: Holistic Medicine for Common Ailments

Subtitle: The Best No Prescription Needed Guide to Using Holistic Medicine for Common Ailments

Author: Virginia French

Narrator: L. David Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-15

Publisher: FASTLANE LLC

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Medicine is one of the oldest branches of science. People have always been seeking means to alleviate sicknesses and prolong life. In olden times, people achieved this by taking resources, like plant and animal parts, from nature. Other times, they observe the healing techniques of sick animals. Most striking of all is shifting to a certain type of lifestyle in the hopes of alleviating disease. A few decades ago, advances in the study of chemicals and a greater understanding of how the human body works has prompted the wide use of drug-based medications. Because of their efficacy, many previously life-threatening diseases (like fevers) can be easily resolved. However, researchers, physicians, and lay people alike have noticed that negative side-effects sometimes come with these medications.

Holistic Medicine for Common Ailments

Holistic Medicine was always a subject of interest to me, so because of that I was very happy find this book explaining what Holistic Medicines are all about and giving tried and timeless cures for some ailments.

I recommend this book highly as a starting point to everyone who is wants to know more about this subject and who prefers to use Nature's cures.

Short but very informative holistic medicine book

Holistic medicine unlike our modern day western medicine actually deals with causes of ailments and not just symptoms. Personally I prefer using holistic approach for as many health problems as possible from simple headache to allergies and this kind of books offer little nuggets of information that are invaluable to anyone interested in treating his or hers own health problems by using holistic medicine.

Perfect guide for finding a natural approach to common ailments

This is a really simple guide for naturally curing or treating common ailments. What I liked the most is that everything you are looking for is right there. You don't have to read through a bunch of nonsense to get the information that you need because it is ready to go and easy to understand. To me that is perfect because when you are sick or injured you need a fast an accurate solution.

Don't bother

There was more disclaimers and ads than information. What a waste of time. But it was free from Amazon.com, when I got it. Now they want you to pay for it! What a joke.And 99.9% was information you already knew!

Great information

This book had a lot of great information! I have been studying Holistic Medicine for years and it is always nice to find a book to help with common aliments; it's like getting back to nature and not a drug store...

Title: On the List

Subtitle: Fixing America's Failing Organ Transplant System

Author: Steve Farber, Harlan Abrahams

Narrator: Bronson Pinchot

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Two families came together in the waiting room of a Denver hospital on May 11, 2004, to await kidney transplants for loved ones. In the first operation, Gregg Farber, 32, a real estate executive, donated a kidney to his father, Steve, a 60-year-old Denver lawyer and power broker. In the second, Guatemalan refugee and landscaper Ernesto Delaroca, also 32, donated a kidney to his sister Sandra, 19, a restaurant worker. The stories of how the Farber and Delaroca families made their separate journeys to the operating room offers insight into the hazards and inequities of a cobbled-together system that each year leaves more than 98,000 gravely ill Americans on the waiting list for a life-saving transplant. Steve Farbers experience inspired him to write On the List with Harlan Abrahams. They examine the ethical, legal, political, and economic debates over organ transplant policies, expose the gray market for transplants in Third World countries, and propose solutions to one of the worlds most pressing health issues. An informative and inspiring guide to those who face transplant operations, the audiobook is also a call to reform a system that is truly, and fatally, flawed.

Members Reviews:

A must-read for anyone with an interest in organ donation

What an extraordinary book! Messrs. Farber and Abrahams have seamlessly woven two poignant personal stories of living organ donation with fascinating discussions of the flawed organ donation system in the United States. When Steve Farber, a wealthy and influential Denver attorney, realized that his kidneys were failing; he explored the possibility of traveling to Turkey for a new organ, and also contemplated whether one of his three sons could donate a kidney. Farber's story alone, fraught with indecision and family upheaval, is worth the price of this book. Farber's story is juxtaposed with that of Ernesto Delaroca and his sister, Sandra, poor Guatemalan immigrants, whose options were significantly more circumspect than Farber's. Sandra languished on the transplant list for years, walked six blocks three times per week for her dialysis treatments until finally Ernesto gave her one of his kidneys. Farber and Abrahams meticulously analyze the disparities between rich and poor in the United States when it comes to options after kidney failure.

ON THE LIST is essential reading for anyone who has been patiently waiting for years on a transplant list, living donors contemplating donating an organ, nephrologists, transplant surgeons and their support staffs, and legislators and other policymakers who deal with transplant issues. Kudos to Steve Farber and Harland Abrahams for producing such a thoughtful book that not only tells the story of two very different families approaching a living donor transplant in the context of the transplant system as it currently exists, but also explores options that could result in more people receiving precious organs.

A Significant Contribution to American Health Policy

Organ donation policy is a microcosm of American health policy as a whole -- its economics, its ethics, and the American public's struggle to balance the rights of individuals with the welfare of populations. The professional and academic literature is quite full with scholarly articles on nearly every aspect of organ donation policy, reflecting the importance and the difficulty of the subject.

Publisher's Summary:

The remarkable epic of an invention that revolutionized medicine

Dr. Raymond Damadian was plagued with a mysterious and persistent stomach pain, yet physicians assured him that they could find nothing wrong. To find the answer to his ailment, Damadian would spend the ensuing twelve years building a machine that would change medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance scanning, now called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was a revolution: A safe means to determine the makeup of every cell in the human body, distinguishing healthy cells from sick. Although Damadian's ideas were met with skepticism and outright opposition from the medical community, this machine would go on to save the lives of millions by diagnosing disease while effective treatment was still possible. In short, it was a medical miracle.

The story of Damadian's quest - battling skeptical peers, money troubles, and more with an intensity approaching obsession - is one of the great legends of medical research. Sonny Kleinfield, acclaimed reporter and author, captures Damadian's remarkable triumph against the odds with compassion and a keen eye.

A Machine Called Indomitable is scientific storytelling at its finest.

Members Reviews:

Inspiring and Accurate

Very well-written. The subject matter might not hold everyone's interest, and the ratio of scientific explanations to coverage of personal interaction is about 50:50. Read it if you're interested in the invention of the MRI, or if you're interested in the atmosphere of competition in the medical science field during the 1970s, or if you like inspiring success stories that involve oddball people. I'm related to someone who was on the original FONAR team. Based on my knowledge of events, the subject was researched in-depth, and the personal quotes and anecdotes sound accurate to me.
