Author Lisa LeVan suffered with psoriasis for years. Her physicians prescribed numerous medications to treat her condition, but while these products made her psoriasis disappear in one area, the symptoms would flare up in another place. She soon learned that traditional treatment did not treat the condition at all, it only covered up the symptoms. Not only that, it often caused dangerous, even life-threatening, side effects that were worse than the original symptoms. Ms. LeVan then decided to put her experience as a research biochemist to work to find a cure for her psoriasis. In The Psoriasis Cure she presents her remarkable discovery. The Psoriasis Cure details Lisa LeVan's drug-free therapy for eliminating both the symptoms and root causes of psoriasis. The book begins with a clear explanation of exactly what psoriasis is and what its possible causes are. It then examines how today's commonly prescribed treatments for psoriasis may adversely affect your health. The book goes on to provide you with guidelines for LeVan's complete program to prevent your symptoms for returning. This book does not offer a quick fix for psoriasis. What The Psoriasis Cure does provide is a commonsense approach that, if followed, will help you rid your body of this condition with virtually no harmful side effects. Isn't it time to take control of your psoriasis? With The Psoriasis Cure in hand, you can.

In the tumultuous late 60s and early 70s, a social movement known as the "New Left" emerged as a major cultural influence, especially on the youth of America. It was a movement that embraced "flower-power" and psychedelic "consciousness-expansion," that lionized Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro and launched the Black Panthers and the Theater of the Absurd.In Return Of The Primitive (originally published in 1971 as The New Left), Ayn Rand, bestselling novelist and originator of the theory of Objectivism, identified the intellectual roots of this movement. She urged people to repudiate its mindless nihilism and to uphold, instead, a philosophy of reason, individualism, capitalism, and technological progress.Editor Peter Schwartz, in this new, expanded version of The New Left, has reorganized Rand's essays and added some of his own in order to underscore the continuing relevance of her analysis of that period. He examines such current ideologies as feminism, environmentalism and multiculturalism and argues that the same primitive, tribalist, "anti-industrial" mentality which animated the New Left a generation ago is shaping society today.
