Losing your eyesight is a frightening thought, yet every five seconds, someone in the world goes blind. Most visual impairment is caused by age-related disease, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy -- debilitating conditions for which modern medicine has no cure. Treatment usually involves managing the symptoms and attempting to slow the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgery is an option, but there is always the danger of adverse side effects that can damage the eyes even further. Most chronic, progressive eye disorders are considered incurable, but this situation may not be as hopeless as it seems. There is a successful treatment, one that does not involve surgery, drugs, or invasive medical procedures. The solution is a proper diet. The key to this diet is coconut, specifically coconut oil. The author used this method to cure his own glaucoma, something standard medical therapy has been unable to do. The coconut-based dietary program described in this book has the potential to help prevent and treat many common visual problems, including the following: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular, degeneration, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye syndrome, Sjogren''s syndrome, Optic neuritis, Irritated eyes, Conjunctivitis (pinkeye), Eye disorders associated with neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer''s, Parkinson''s, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and others). Most chronic eye disorders strike without warning and none of us can tell who will develop a visual handicap as we age. Everybody is at risk, and once the disease presents itself, treatment is often a lifelong process. The best solution is prevention. In this book, you will learn the basic underlying causes for the most common degenerative eye disorders and what you can do to prevent, stop, and even reverse them.

The distinguished social critic Richard Sennett here shows how the excessively ordered community freezes adults-both the young idealists and their security-oriented parents-into rigid attitudes that stifle personal growth. He argues that the accepted ideal of order generates patterns of behavior among the urban middle classes that are stultifying, narrow, and violence-prone. And he proposes a functioning city that can incorporate anarchy, diversity, and creative disorder to bring into being adults who can openly respond to and deal with the challenges of life.

Through 5 practical steps, Dr. Judith Orloff's guide will show you how to recapture, nurture, and affirm your intuitive ability, so that you can utilize it to help heal yourself.In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Orloff leads readers to the heart of a radical revolution in health care: the union of medicine and intuition, of body, mind, and soul. Intuition plays an indispensable role in self-diagnosis, pain control, immune response, and recovery from acute and chronic illness; it can lead you to breakthroughs in anxiety, panic, depression, and other emotional blockages, even when traditional psychotherapy has failed. Intuition also offers insights into the use of medications and the selection of the right healer for your needs. Further, it is integral for sexual healing, since sexuality is a potent connector and energy source for clarifying spirituality and improving vitality.With Dr. Orloff's five practical steps, you'll learn to clarify your beliefs, listen to your body's messages, access inner guidance, sense subtle energy, and interpret your dreams. Practicing the steps, you'll recognize early warning signals and act on them to help prevent illness. You'll have skills to uncover important information from meditation and remote viewing (a way of intuitively tuning in) to make sense of confusing signals. The insights you'll gain from these tools will lend reason, compassion, and meaning to events such as illness, loss, or despair. Following Dr. Orloff's simple, clear instructions, illustrated with examples from her own experience and psychiatric practice, you'll recapture a sense of vision that will bring vibrance to all that you do."Our intuition can open us up to our spirituality and show us how to be more healthy and whole," writes Dr. Orloff. "If you're in good health, you'll want to know about intuition because it can help you stay well and recognize messages that prevent illness. If you or your loved ones need healing, you'll also want intuition to show the way." Written with abundant warmth, humor, and compassion, this guide is your companion to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
