But there is a better way. Grounded in the latest science, The B-27 Diet is the first book to offer specific interventions to treat the root causes of SpAs. The key to improved health involves incorporating specific dietary and herbal interventions to reduce inflammation, heal the gut, and balance the immune system. If you are ready to tackle the root causes of SpAs, The B27 Diet offers ...

Any comprehensive understanding of autoimmune personality traits must take into account, gifted intelligence. After researching personality types related to autoimmune disease, the literature reveals that we fall into several types - one of which includes gifted traits...Type G. While much of the research on personality type related to autoimmune disease has focused on Type A, C, and D traits and coping styles...we will also consider gifted personality traits, stress, inflammation, and the dominant brain networks and underlying neurobiological needs.

Beyond Cannabis explores the synergistic use and potential health benefits of plant compounds, including polyphenols, terpenes, and dietary cannabinoids, other than the cannabis plant. Learn more about combining terpenes, polyphenols, and dietary cannabinoids (not from cannabis sativa) for autoimmune, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and other inflammatory processes. Discover the precise foods and essential oils blends that tone the endocannabinoid system.

People have been seeking traditional herbal medicines for various viral respiratory disorders, including the common cold, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia for hundreds of years. However, the bioactive ingredients in traditional herbs have only recently come to light in the past few decades. In Functional Herbal Medicine and Phyronutrition, we will investigate the synergistic use of potent plant compounds in common foods, traditional herbs, and formulas for viral respiratory infections. We will also review virtual screening and molecular docking analyses of individual herbs, network ...

As an acupuncturist, I understand the importance of improving neuroplasticity in the somatosensory and motor areas of the brain, especially for those with chronic pain, inflammation, and tissue destruction in the joints. In fact, it is now widely accepted that acupuncture excels in treating these conditions. However, in addition to acupuncture, other modalities such as progressive muscle relaxation and Yoga Nidra techniques can also improve neuroplasticity in the somatosensory and motor areas of the brain. Like acupuncture, these techniques also help reduce stress and balance the ...

In the past twenty years, imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), magnetoencephalography (MEG), single-photon emission tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have revealed the neural correlates involved in acupuncture, prayer, meditation, and mystical experiences. As a result of these findings, we now know that these modalities can alter activity in the brain’s Default Mode Network (DMN), which is most closely associated with the ego or a sense of self (Carhart-Harris & Friston, 2010). Considering ...

The Functional Scalp Acupuncture (FSA) model promotes the application of neuroscience and evidenced-based acupuncture research to the treatment of chronic pain, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), autoimmune, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Neuroscience has dramatically increased our knowledge and understanding of the underlying dysfunction in each of these conditions. As we shall soon discover, each disorder has a well-established 'neurobiological signature' that can ...

The Histamine Free Paleo Breakthrough Are you eating an AIP diet and finding certain healthy foods, such as sauerkraut, are causing hives, swelling of the face or throat, a headache, nasal congestion, skin problems, a racing heart, anxiety, watery red eyes, heartburn, or irritability? If so the problem may not be allergies but instead a histamine intolerance. Histamines are found in many common foods, especially those that have been aged or fermented, such as aged cheese, red wine. But what about the foods in the autoimmune protocol? If you find you are reacting to sauerkraut and fermented ...

Any comprehensive understanding of personality traits must take into account, gifted intelligence. The term gifted refers to an ability to sense, perceive and interpret the world in a quicker and more detailed manner than the bulk of the population. It turns out that those with gifted intelligence may be more prone to not only anxiety and depression but also to autoimmune disease and sensory processing sensitivities. In fact the literature is filled with examples of highly intelligent people suffering many physiological responses as a result of heightened neural circuitry in the brain. ...

Anyone dealing with immune, learning, sensory-processing, mood, and/or behavioral disorders may have multiple sensitivities that result from highly sensitized brain circuitry. Gifted Intelligence explores the brain-based mechanisms that predispose us to mood, sensory-processing, learning, behavioral, and autoimmune disorders. In this audiobook you will learn why all of these so-called diseases and disorders can and should be treated as learning opportunities.

FODMAPs is an acronym for fermentable carbohydrates found in common foods. FODMAPs stand for Fermentable Oligosaccharides (fructans and galactans), Disaccharhides (lactose), Monosaccharides (fructose), and Polyols (sugar alcohols). FODMAP intolerance means that fructose and other longer chain carbohydrates are difficult to break down and then ferment in the distal small intestine or in the large intestine and can cause symptoms like gas, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, excessive burping, depression, fatigue, headache and even decreased mental clarity aka "brain fog". ...

We are learning so much more about how sound affects our biology, even down to the genetic level, and it is now recognized as a legitimate epigenetic factor that impacts on our gene expression. The Secret Language of the Immune System explores the preverbal language of sound and vibration - found in the harmonic resonances of music, nature, and our own voices as the secret code which regulates the immune system.

Integrative treatments are urgently needed to manage viral respiratory infections in the United States and elsewhere. Considering the infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 and its various mutations, we should expect COVID-19 to be around forever. As we arrive at this new frontier of viral respiratory infections, diet, herbal medicine, and vaccines will be crucial in managing Covid-19. Since numerous herbs and foods can regulate inflammation and the immune system response while also providing antiviral and organ protective effects, it is time for everyone to take advantage of supportive herbal and ...

While herbs in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pharmacy offer a treasure trove of potent compounds for viral respiratory infections, we still do not have randomized controlled trials to affirm the most effective ones for the current pandemic. However, the bioactive compounds in herbs and formulas used for other viral respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-1, have already been thoroughly investigated. In this guide, we will consider a new antiviral formula based on current herb and drug development research.

Strikingly, over 17 million people in the United States, and over 330 million people worldwide are affected by depression. While psilocybin is getting some attention as a means of treating depression in the mental health community, many people are curious about the experience, and desire the anti-depressant effect, but prefer not to encounter the possibly terrifying visions, nausea, vomiting, and anxiety that often accompanies the ingestion of psychedelic substances.

As research into medical cannabis continues, we are also learning more about the health benefits brought on by the best combination of non-psychoactive botanical compounds like CBD, foods, and lifestyle activities (e.g., acupuncture, exercise, and aromatherapy) that interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and how they may be of benefit to those with chronic disease. This information is critical for those struggling with chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction including: Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases e.g. RA, MS, Lupus, Psoriasis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Ulcerative Colitis,...
