For instance headache is a common ailment people all over the world suffer from. The book provides detailed alternative treatments for it, for example you can insert a needle at the point between the eyebrows, called Extra 1 or third eye. Or you can massage gently this point with slow circular movements, do fast eye movements in all directions and then drink some soothing tea as chamomile, common lime, St John's wort, melissa, oregano or common thyme depending on the muscle test for selecting food-substances. If you are afraid of needles, stick adhesive magnets on acupoints using the instructions in the book. If you think you are unable to find the points, don't worry because the book is accompanied by a DVD with detailed demonstration of how to find the acupuncture points. There is nothing easier than inserting a needle exactly where it hurts. You can also use the grandma's remedies for headache which are mentioned in the book: a. chew one rue (ruta graveolens) leaf. b. sniff 5 drops of marjoram (origanum majorana) leaves juice. c. patients suffering from migraine must avoid chocolates, milk and combining wine with cheese. d. tie the suffering area with compresses or bandanna impregnated with vinegar or lemon. e. place a raw potato or onion slice on the suffering area, refresh it every hour. f. for headache due to menopause drink infusion of 10g saffron crocus (crocus sativus) in 1 L water. g. massage the suffering area using 5 drops of essential oil lavandula officinalis or mentha piperata or origanum majorana. h. have a cold footbath, especially if you have warm feet. i. massage the lobule of the ear ipsilateral to the pain or the dominant ear for 15 minutes. j. put herbs that you like in your pillow. The Knowledge acquired from this book is directly applicable anytime, anywhere and by anyone, even without a needle. Help yourself, when you need it, with simple, inexpensive healing methods without side effects. For the first time on a global level, it is stated in the book that the Primary Meridians (the main energy routes in the human body) consist of ten vibrating fibers, and the space between them fluctuates in proportion to the yin and yang energy. For the first time on a global level, the waveform of the energy which is absorbed or emitted from the head of the needle at stimulation or dispersion during acupuncture is analyzed in the book. For the first time, the Hellenic herbal needles are mentioned and details are provided for their use; I strongly suggest that they should be exported abroad. For the first time a great number of herbs are classified according to the Empedoclean-Hippocratic doctrine. You have been created in image and likeness of God, which means you have endless potential of spiritual evolution and self-healing. Knowledge of self-treatment is the way to find happiness, the conquest of happiness is waiting for you...

The Spark in the Machine


Book Description

Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new finger tips, but adult humans can't regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know, that western medicine ignores? Dan Keown's highly accessible, witty, and original book shows how western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine, and how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that western medicine largely ignores. He explains the generative force of embryology, how the hearts of two people in love (or in scientific terms `quantum entanglement') truly beat as one, how a cheating heart is also an ill heart (which is why men are twice as likely to die of a sudden heart attack with their mistress than with their wife), how neural crest cells determine our lifespan, and why Proust's madeleines evoked the memories they did. The book shows how the theories of western and Chinese medicine support each other, and how the integrated theory enlarges our understanding of how bodies work on every level. Full of good stories and surprising details, Dan Keown's book is essential reading for anyone who has ever wanted to know how the body really works.
