Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a masterpiece penned by Paulo Freire, is a landmark book in the genre of educational philosophy. First published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2017, this book remains a significant resource for understanding and challenging the traditional norms of education. Freire's innovative approach towards the relationship between teacher and student has left a profound impact on the education system worldwide. The book invites readers to question the 'banking' concept of education, where the student is seen as an empty account to be filled by the teacher. Instead, Freire proposes a 'problem-posing' education where the teacher and student become co-creators of knowledge. This revolutionary approach has made 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' an essential read for anyone interested in education and its role in society. Published by Penguin Books Ltd, this book continues to inspire and provoke thought in its readers.

The first step is a quick-start two-week detox that includes foods to eat and inflammatory foods to avoid, advice on supplements to support the liver, and an adrenal recovery plan. Next, readers create a personalized plan with foods, supplements, and other lifestyle interventions tailored to their body’s own unique Hashimoto’s triggers, which they can identify using self-tests included in the book. Hashimoto’s Protocol also features original recipes.Grounded in the latest science, Hashimoto’s Protocol is the first book to offer a proven protocol by an acknowledged expert in the field to treat this condition and help sufferers reclaim their lives.
