The Healing Power of Acupressure - Permanent Cures Through Ancient Medical Sciences

It is based on the scientific knowledge of medical sciences of one of the greatest ancient civilizations known to man, the Chinese art of healing. Believe it or not, mankind is still as ignorant of matters regarding health today, as he was 5,000 years ago. Even though he thinks that he is intelligent and is able to get access to large amounts of knowledge on the Internet and from other medias available, the knowledge that he obtains is often misguiding, false, and misleading. And this includes all the knowledge that he is being given about the progresses of medical sciences, in the allopathic medicine field which have been made during the 20th and 21st century. Allopathic medicine supposedly called a science-based medicine is definitely not effective, however much the medical fraternity may say that it has saved millions of lives in the 20th century. That is because once upon a time, chloroquine manufactured in the lab was capable of getting rid of malaria. So people instead of taking quinine-based medicines, which were the natural and effective cure for malaria began to take chloroquine instead because that is what was being recommended to them by doctors. And the next time a person came back suffering from another bout of malaria, he was given another round of Chemoquine or chloroquine manufactured in the labs instead of getting healed naturally through quinine. The symptoms were masked instead of being done away with permanently through these chemical-based drugs. The patient was happy because according to him, he had managed to get through a bout of malaria, without suffering much, because of supposedly effective Chemoquine. But that was not so. Malaria along with other diseases have now appeared and in a more powerful form, with the bacterial invaders mutating and infecting more patients. So what does the supposedly Orthodox medical science do? It manufactures even more powerful drugs so that you take them, get rid of that particular mutated bacterial strain infecting your body, and nobody is going to take the side effects into account.

There, generations of Tibetan monks have passed down a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties. Known as the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation or the Five Rites, these once-secret exercises are now available to Westerners in Ancient Secret of the Fountain Of Youth. Peter Kelder's book begins with an account of his own introduction to the rites by way of Colonel Bradford, a mysterious retired British army officer who learned of the rites while journeying high up in the Himalayas. Fountain of Youth then offers practical instructions for each of the five rites, which resemble yoga postures. Taking just minutes a day to perform, the benefits for practitioners have included increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief, better digestion, and feeling overall more youthful.
