  Is there more we should know about Cancer and could we do more ourselves in times of need? Are we receiving the best treatment our doctors can possibly offer?  Is Chemotherapy, radiation or surgery the only answer? This journey started some nine years ago having witnessed the loss of many loved ones to Cancer. I felt the need to educate myself and understand why now in the 21st Century, we still have below average treatment protocols that are shockingly unsuccessful in their results.   I wanted to know why we have become so passively accepting of limited treatment methods and why we do not take responsibility for our own actions in Life and when we are unwell. To question Cancer means to question our lifestyles and what we allow ourselves to be exposed to within our homes and the environment all around us. Simple yet effective methods for alleviating disease have been around for decades, yet the common narrative remains the same as we are all led to believe falsely that its not possible to cure Cancers, safely, long-term without causing harm. Orthodox medicine is ripping us off and yet we watch, while many suffer in pain, why? Empowering ourselves with knowledge has far reaching benefits especially in times of illness. The ideas and methods outlined in this book are inexpensive solutions that can be integrated into any routine. Avoiding and switching our perceptions cost nothing and can have the biggest impacts when we become conscious consumers. The Earth has always provided for us in nutrition and medicine, it is only relatively recently that we have learnt to ignore the abundance of this truly incredible world we live in. Nature doesn't need to be modified by man, simply understood.

  The City of Vines - A History of...

  The author of A History of Wine in America recounts the beginnings of California’s wine trade in the once isolated pueblo now called Los Angeles. 
   
  Winner of the 2016 California Historical Society Book Award!  
   
  With incisive analysis and a touch of dry humor, The City of Vines chronicles winemaking in Los Angeles from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century through its decline in the 1950s. Thomas Pinney returns the megalopolis to the prickly pear-studded lands upon which Mission grapes grew for the production of claret, port, sherry, angelica, and hock. From these rural beginnings Pinney reconstructs the entire course of winemaking in a sweeping narrative, punctuated by accounts of particular enterprises including Anaheim’s foundation as a German winemaking settlement and the undertakings of vintners scrambling for market dominance. Yet Pinney also shows Los Angeles’s wine industry to be beholden to the forces that shaped all California under the flags of Spain, Mexico, and the United States: colonial expansion dependent on labor of indigenous peoples; the Gold Rush population boom; transcontinental railroads; rapid urbanization; and Prohibition. This previously untold story uncovers an era when California wine meant Los Angeles wine, and reveals the lasting ways in which the wine industry shaped the nascent metropolis.

  “Anne Dimock is the Proust of pie and her remembrance of pies past is meant to inspire the pies to come. This is a lovely and elegant memoir.” —Garrison Keillor, bestselling author and host of A Prairie Home Companion  
   
  In America, pie is a food—and a concept—that carries unusual resonance. In Humble Pie, Anne Dimock offers a delightful combination of memoir, pie quotes, inspiration, recipes, travel writing, and assorted philosophical, cultural, and culinary musings on this powerful yet humble dessert. 
   
  Anne Dimock grew up in a household where, she notes, “A dearth of good pie was a hardship I never encountered, never knew must be borne up by most folk.” When she realized that the decline of the American pie civilization might be a harbinger of even deeper cultural problems, Anne became a woman on a mission to save pie from extinction. 
   
  Dimock shares her thoughts on the Zen of making pie crust, the politics of pie, judging a man’s character according to his pie protocol, state fair pie competitions, the kinship between pie and baseball, and the search for edible pie at roadside diners. 
   
  Folksy and full of humor, Humble Pie is more than just an evocative journey through a life lived in pie. It is a culinary manifesto for a pie renaissance, inviting readers to take up their rolling pins and revive an endangered slice of American culture. Dimock advises us all to “Roll back the apprehension, the doubt, and enter the childlike state of grace where all things are possible and anything lost can be found again. The pie you seek resides not only in memory and imagination—your next piece of pie begins right here.”
