    The Metabolife Story - The Rise...

    When Michael J. Ellis saw how cancer was ravaging his father’s body, he was desperate to find something—anything—that would help ease the dying man’s suffering. It just so happened that Ellis discovered such a method in herbal remedies—but in a fateful twist, his research inadvertently uncovered something else entirely, a secret that would also impact American society: a weight loss product that actually worked! 
    Five years later, in 1998, Ellis stood at the head of Metabolife International, Inc., one of the most successful and notorious herbal supplement companies in the world. Millions of Americans were taking its revolutionary product, Metabolife 356, to lose weight. By all accounts, it was the perfect Cinderella story—but this fairy tale would not have a happy ending. 
    Metabolife 356, with its remarkable success and happy customers, had cut into the profits of the nation’s most powerful pharmaceutical companies. In short order, the pharma industry’s watchdog, the FDA, intervened, turning its sights on Metabolife and the product’s active ingredient, ephedrine. For all Americans, the FDA’s actions have had shattering consequences. 
    This is the true story of one of the most audacious thefts in corporate history; a story about how a massive clerical error led to one of the largest IRS raids in history; a story about how no man, however guiltless, is immune to the awful power of the media. 
    Above all, this is the story of one federal agency’s successful attempt to steal a safe and effective product from the American public through little more than propaganda and misinformation.

    In this deeply personal, accessible compilation of stories and supportive resources, Hannah invites us on her complex journey through a year of poison— the multi-drug, weekly chemotherapy that saved her life. In 2020, Hannah was diagnosed with a rare stage IV cancer that came from her pregnancy, treated during the pandemic at Duke University Hospital. This is a story of cancer, but also of ancestors, parenting, and religious and spiritual questions. This book weaves fascinating narrative with potent integrative resources for finding hope, reclaiming your body, and moving toward spiritual peace through cancer and other difficult experiences. 
    The Platinum is not just an image or metaphor —the spoiler is that there was literal Platinum in the chemotherapy drugs. In the highest way, the key to surviving chemotherapy was embracing the light that was in the poison all along. Hannah teaches us to do this. She shows us through her own story, through the marriage of western and alternative medicine, and through specific materials, modalities, and exercises. Your journey is your own, but Hannah has arrived as a friend—a helper and a guide who has gone there and back again. She brings humor and joyfully readable prose as she untangles her year of cancer and shares spiritual and material resources for growth and healing along the way. 
    Only in the depths of our most painful challenges do we find the resources we need to break free. With them, we are able to illuminate what was unseen and listen to what was unheard. Hannah is here to walk with you toward that liberation.

    SALMAN KHAN: THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE MEGASTAR 
     
    As Prem, the nation's first love; as Radhe, the rebel with a cause; as Tiger, the action king who redefined machismo for a new India, Salman Khan is the only Bollywood superstar who has ruled romance, comedy and action in Hindi films with equal ease and style. While critics share the perfect love-hate relationship with him, for his fans--who flock to theatres with every new release, their loyalty unquestionable, their excitement unbridled--nothing can match the anticipation of a new film starring Salman Khan. 
    With his signature swagger, magnetic charm and larger-than-life persona, everyone is fascinated with the actor. Packed with fan interviews, never-before-seen photos, and insights from long-time collaborators of the star, Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood is an ode to the actor who has made an impact on pop culture like no other. 
    Through controversies and comebacks, blockbusters and hard-learned lessons of life, Salman has remained cinema's wild heart and its last true mystery--perhaps the only superstar of his kind that India will ever see.
