Garry Clement

Maison d'édition: Optimum Publishing International

Synopsis

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is no longer fit for purpose.
		 
Reflecting on his career in the RCMP from 1973 to 2003, Garry Clement recounts his childhood in rural Ontario; his RCMP training in Regina; his drug-bust days based in British Columbia, Montreal, and Toronto; his work battling the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of Canada; his role in the Parliament Hill bus hijacking; his involvement in the post–9/11 Maher Arar inquiry; his impact on the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program and on anti–money laundering in Canada and abroad; and his reasons for leaving the RCMP. Under Cover  provides a gripping and vulnerable inside look into the corruption of politics and policing in Canada.
		 
In light of the mounting complexities of transnational organized crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and financial crime, Clement calls for a complete revamping of the culture of federal policing. We need a fundamental structural reformation of the RCMP. Garry Clement offers direct recommendations for how to approach such a task.

How to Hack Your Vagus Nerve -...

Angelina Power

The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
“Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
“The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
- Anxiety disorder 
- Heart disease 
- Tinnitus 
- Obesity 
- Alcohol addiction 
- Migraines 
- Alzheimer’s 
- Leaky gut 
- Bad blood circulation 
- Mood disorder 
- CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.

Coronavirus - Consequences and...

David Rogue

This is a combo of 3 books in 1. Enjoy! The titles concern the following topics:
Book 1 - With the world watching the news each day about the infamous COVID-19 Virus, a version of what is more broadly classified as a "Coronavirus," like SARS, it's hard to ignore the facts and the opinions as many economies are being put on hold, stocks are plummeting, businesses are applying for loans, and everyone is encouraged to stay at home.
Book 2 - Being stuck at home can be annoying. I watched as my in-laws were eager to hug our children but didn't, just because they wanted to abide by the rules the president of the United States and many other international leaders have set. Some people say they lost their jobs. Others report being sick of one another, not of the virus. Fortunately, I live in a nice-enough home, but I can't imagine how hard it is for some people who live in a small apartment, like the ones I've seen in Tokyo.
This book shows you some things you should or should not do during the time of being quarantined because of an epidemic or pandemic.
Book 3 - We don't know everything about the Coronavirus yet (or COVID-19, which is the more accurate name). Many reports have suggested that it may have originated from the bat soup the inhabitants of the Chinese Wuhan province drink or drank on a regular basis, since bats, like rats, are often carriers of numerous diseases. Others refer to some kind of conspiracy with a testing center and selling animals on the market there. Whatever the origin, there are certain things that we know about the health side and certain things that we don't. Stay tuned, because we will dive into the many controversial and informational sources I have acquired right now.

On Epidemics - Spiritual...

Rudolf Steiner

"If we can bring nothing up out of ourselves except fear of the illnesses which surround us at the seat of an epidemic, and if we go to sleep at night filled with nothing but thoughts of this fear, then we create unconscious replicas, imaginations, which are drenched in fear. And this is an excellent method for nurturing bacteria..." - Rudolf SteinerBased on brief, pithy quotations from Rudolf Steiner's collected works, the "spiritual perspectives" in this volume present core concepts on the subject of epidemics. These brief extracts do not claim to provide exhaustive treatment of the subject, but open up approaches to the complexity of Steiner's extraordinary world of ideas. Some readers will find these fragments sufficient stimulus in themselves, whilst others will use the source references as signposts towards deeper study and understanding.
