  How to Make a Killing - Blood...

  Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
   
   
   
  With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
   
   
   
  How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.

  Restless Devices - Recovering...

  We're being formed by our devices. Today's digital technologies are designed to captivate our attention and encroach on our boundaries, shaping how we relate to time and space, to ourselves and others, even to God. While we enjoy the benefits of digital tech, many of us feel troubled with its power and exhausted by its demands for permanent connectivity. Yet even as we grow disenchanted, attempting to resist the digital "powers that be" might seem like a losing battle. 
   
   
   
  Sociologist Felicia Wu Song has spent years considering the personal and collective dynamics of living in digital ecosystems. In this book she combines psychological, neurological, and sociological insights with theological reflection to explore two major questions: What kind of people are we becoming with personal technologies in hand? and who do we really want to be? 
   
   
   
  Song unpacks the soft tyranny of the digital age, including the values embedded in our apps and the economic systems that drive our habits and their subtle yet pervasive effects. She then explores pathways of meaningful resistance that can be found in Christian tradition, especially counter-narratives about human worth, embodiment, relationality, and time. Considering digital practices through the lens of "liturgy" and formation, she offers practical experiments for individual and communal change.

  Millions of people around the world have been diagnosed with incurable autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis. 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 MS 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 Multiple Sclerosis firmly into near-permanent remission. In this special MS 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 Multiple Sclerosis and other inflammatory health problems.
