    Millions of people around the world have been diagnosed with incurable autoimmune diseases like Lupus. Debilitating conditions that make us tired, ill, and miserable. The only solution the medical industry offers are side-effect riddled maintenance drugs such as steroids and painkillers.Getting a formal diagnosis of Lupus is often a lengthy and challenging process. Many never get a medical confirmation of what is happening to their mind and body at all! Countless individuals live in constant pain and discomfort because they incorrectly assume all their health problems are the natural result of aging.Unfortunately, Craig Beck joined this ill-health demographic at the age of 48. After suffering months of severe symptoms, eventually, he too got handed the autoimmunity life sentence. However, rather than accept the hand as it was dealt. He remembered that the best medicine for a long and healthy life is found at the end of your fork, not the doctor's prescription pad.Craig decided to fall back on his research into natural medicine. He designed a diet and lifestyle that made inflammation the enemy and target. A process that would show amazing success at pushing Lupus firmly into near-permanent remission.In this special SLE addition of the Autoimmune Antidote, you will gain valuable insight into the new, natural approach that can help you prevent and maybe even reverse the life-limiting symptoms of Lupus and other inflammatory health problems.www.CraigBeck.com

  • Ambition - For What? - cover

    Ambition - For What?

    Ambition is a dominant force in for human civilization, driving its greatest achievements and most horrific abuses. Our striving has brought art, airplanes, and antibiotics, as well as wars, genocide, and despotism. This mixed record raises obvious concerns about how we can channel ambition in the most productive directions.In Ambition, Deborah L. Rhode offers a comprehensive and engaging survey of the topic that focuses in particular on the nature of ambition in contemporary American life. To do this, she first explores three central focuses of ambition—recognition, power, and money—and argues that an excessive preoccupation with these external markers for success can be self-defeating for individuals and toxic for society. She then shifts to discussing the obstacles to constructive ambition and the consequences when ambitions are skewed or blocked by inequality and identity-related characteristics such as gender, race, class, and national origin. Rhode further addresses the ways that families, schools, and colleges might play a more effective role in developing positive ambition. Finally, she examines what sorts of ambitions contribute to sustained well-being, such as building relationships and contributing to society, rather than chasing extrinsic rewards such as wealth, power, and fame.

    For almost a decade, Backpage.com was the world's largest sex trafficking operation. Seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, in 800 cities throughout the world, Backpage ran thousands of listings advertising the sale of vulnerable young people for sex. Reaping a cut off every transaction, the owners of the website raked in millions of dollars. But many of the people in the advertisements were children, as young as twelve, and forced into the commercial sex trade through fear, violence and coercion.In Taking Down Backpage, veteran California prosecutor Maggy Krell tells the story of how she and her team prevailed against this sex trafficking monolith. Beginning with her early career as a young DA, she shares the evolution of the anti-human trafficking movement. Through a fascinating combination of memoir and legal insight, Krell reveals how she and her team started with the prosecution of street pimps and ultimately ended with the takedown of the largest purveyor of human trafficking in the world. She shares powerful stories of interviews with victims, sting operations, court cases, and the personal struggles that were necessary to bring Backpage executives to justice. Finally, Krell examines the state of sex trafficking after Backpage and the crucial work that still remains.

    As the speed and complexity of the world increases, governments and nonprofit organizations need new ways to effectively tackle the critical challenges of our time—from pandemics and global warming to social media warfare. In Power to the Public, Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank describe a revolutionary new approach—public interest technology—that has the potential to transform the way governments and nonprofits around the world solve problems. Through inspiring stories about successful projects ranging from a texting service for teenagers in crisis to a streamlined foster care system, the authors show how public interest technology can make the delivery of services to the public more effective and efficient.At its heart, public interest technology means putting users at the center of the policymaking process, using data and metrics in a smart way, and running small experiments and pilot programs before scaling up. And while this approach may well involve the innovative use of digital technology, technology alone is no panacea—and some of the best solutions may even be decidedly low-tech.Clear-eyed yet profoundly optimistic, Power to the Public presents a powerful blueprint for how government and nonprofits can help solve society's most serious problems.
