    Devra Davis presents a range of recent and long-suppressed research in this timely bombshell. Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain's defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer. The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable. And half of the world's four billion cell phone users are under twenty.Davis, the founding director of the toxicology and environmental studies board at the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, takes listeners through the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry. Health experts have long been frozen out of policy-making decisions about cell phones; federal regulatory standards are set by the cell phone industry itself. Cell phone manufacturers have borrowed the playbook of the tobacco industry. One secret memo reveals their war plan against reports of cell phone dangers.Among a host of fascinating characters, Davis introduces Om P. Gandhi, a world expert on how cell phone radiation penetrates the human brain. Once a consultant to major cell phone companies, Gandhi now refuses to work with them. We also meet Franz Adlkofer, who led the multi-lab study that showed once and for all that brain cell DNA is unraveled by cell phone microwave radiation-and, as Davis dramatically portrays, it nearly cost him his career.As this eye-opening call to action shows, we can make safer cell phones now. Why would we put our children at risk of a devastating epidemic of brain illness in the years to come?

    A Victorian Guide to Healthy Living

    The Victorian Dr. Thomas Allinson founded the famous Allinson bread firm in 1892 and wrote five volumes of medical essays outlining his beliefs that food was an important factor in health. His sage advice was an anathema to his Victorian peers and he was struck off in an age where medicines were made of mercury and arsenic. His outrageous beliefs included exercise being good for health, the need for a work-life balance for better efficiency and health, avoiding tea and coffee in the evening to promote better sleep and obesity being caused by eating too much.  These misguided beliefs are so relevant to todays market and written in a wonderfully anachronistic but accessible manner. Best-selling author and food and health expert Anna Selby has edited his five books into one volume, incorporating chapters such as vegetarianism, exercise and the work-life balance, as well as a chapter containing some of his quirkier beliefs.

    Releasing Bitterness & Opening...

    Are you open to love and happiness? Bitterness is a state of mind that colors the way we see others and ourselves, and limits our potential for loving relationships. When we are repeatedly injured or beaten down by life, we adopt a bitter, cynical, and pessimistic point of view as a way of protecting ourselves from further disappointment: “If I expect misfortune, then when it happens I won’t be blindsided or devastated by it.”  This “armoring” serves a purpose for a time, until we can recover and become stronger. But at some point we have to reopen to the possibility that the world is a good place, and people can be kind. Otherwise we’ll continue to attract disappointing experiences, and never be able to fully appreciate the positive ones. To put it simply, if you want love, you have to be open to it, and bitterness can be a huge rock in the way! The guided imagery meditation, Releasing Bitterness & Opening to Love leads us through three phases: Recognizing the bitterness we carry and preparing to release it Opening to receive the healing we need Changing our outlook to positive expansion With expertly crafted narration and evocative background music, this guided inner journey enlightens, encourages healing from within, and helps us chart a new, more positive course. From the guided meditation: "...Consider the people in your life, and your potential to open to receive love. What attitudes of bitterness, judgment, or separation might you now turn into acceptance, appreciation, and compassion? Take some time to imagine yourself letting go, opening, and making a deeper connection with the most important people in your life -- perhaps even with some who are challenging.."

    Drawing on his deep and profound knowledge of metaphysical laws including the Law of Attraction and the Law of Gestation, quantum physics, and our increasing understanding of energy fields, not to mention his work with thousands of people who want to bring change into their lives and the world, Alan Seale has written a book that can change the world. There are eight houses on the Manifestation Wheel: intention, peace, energy, guidance, empowerment, action, surrender, legacy. Seale teaches a process that allows readers to tap into their own intuition and the collective consciousness. For example, intention — where we start — takes us beyond "I want" to "what wants to happen." When those two are in alignment amazing things can happen. The more our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and actions are in alignment the clearer our physical manifestation will be. We can use the process to find a new job or a new love. As we surrender to the process and manifest our legacy — even in those very personal projects — we are becoming more conscious of and contributing to the positive evolution of mass consciousness.
