Review of The Hidden Cure: The Five Laws of Perfect Health (Paperback)

Let me start by saying that I met Laurens 15 years ago while surfing in our beautiful island Barbados. We started talking about health, life, pyramids, ecology, energy...we shared same interests and became friends in a snap.

About a year later I broke a finger during a surf session. The pain was so intense I was unable to do anything with that hand. That evening we met at his house and he told me he could use EMF to reduce the swelling and the pain. I was skeptic: how could some electrical frequencies applied to my body reduce pain??? He checked a data base in his computer to find a frequency that matched the vibration of healthy bone and muscle tissue. He also added some frequencies for two types of Arnica (a plant that reduces swelling). Using a machine capable of generating those frequencies, he applied them through some meridians in my hands and at the end of the 5 minute session I already felt less pain in the area. By the next morning the pain and the swelling where virtually gone. I was so impressed. I shook hands with him using my broken finger..!!!

That event changed my life. I enrolled in his program. I enrolled my wife, my parents and my kids. We learned about true health. We learned what and how to eat. We learned the connection of fungi to chronic disease. We learned how simple sugars feed those fungi and rob vital energy. We learned to cure the Earth by curing the individual. Amazing..!!! It has been an incredible voyage...!!!

And now its all in this book. It condenses all this knowledge into an easy and fulfilling read. Its time to get this message to the World. 5 Laws = Perfect Health.

Congratulations to you and to your beautiful family...!!!

1 Luv' to all
Ralf

Product Description

Sustenance in biblical times, raw and natural, was a diet in balance with nature and can be considered the original organic lifestyle. Today, our world is filled with biochemical agents, pathogens, and fungi that drastically impact our health. Nothing escapes environmental assaults.
The Hidden Cure: The 5 Laws of Perfect Health gives you the knowledge to combat today's ecological hazards. Laurens Maas explains how fungi cause many of our ailments. In this solution-based handbook, he outlines a clinically proven easy-to-follow plan to reduce the fungal and toxic load in your diet and reboot your nervous systems as a means to holistic recovery.
The 5 Laws, which help reverse and eliminate the adverse effects of global fungal pollution, include reducing sugar and carbohydrates, eating proteins according to your blood type, eating fats according to your metabolism, eating vegetables that influence your body's biochemical speed, and correcting your body's electromagnetic frequencies.


With case studies, a seven day eating plan, and helpful recipes included, The Hidden Cure: The 5 Laws of Perfect Health will help your body promote a powerful immune system, rebalance your internal environment, and lead you to optimal health.


Simply put, The 5 Laws are about the five molecules of health: sugars, proteins, fats, minerals, and electricity. It is the balance of these five molecules that exist within us all that determines the overall health of the individual. This book is a simple guide to teach you how to gain total control of your health for the better, now and for the rest of your lives. Mr. Laurens Maas is a registered osteopath and homeopath physician.

Review of Meal by Meal: 365 Daily Meditations for Finding Balance Through Mindful Eating (Paperback)

I was familiar with the work of Donald Altman from his earlier 'Art of the Inner Meal' and was impressed how his writing has found a fresh and densely pragmatic new form. 'Meal by Meal' is a fluid read of inspiring quotes coupled with practical insights by the author. This book is extremely handsome, a beautifully laid out composition making this both useful and pleasurable to read. If you have the discipline to read a page at a time, you will find this helpful day by day. I personally had trouble putting it down and would read a month at a time... but the suggestions are valid and useful on a second slower read. Worthwhile investment for someone wishing to calm their compulsive behavior for a more reflective perspective.

Product Description
Meal by Meal is a book of comfort, guidance, and insight for anyone with an unhealthy relationship with food. Its power is in its approach: each day is a self-contained journey of conscious eating to help people nurture new and sustainable attitudes and practices. Although bad habits cannot be changed overnight, the author, Buddhist devotee Donald Altman, shows how to find peace by focusing on food issues one meal at a time. He shares inspirational daily meditations, including quotes from Zen stories, Native American practices, Hindu scriptures, the Bible, and sages from all major wisdom traditions. He also explores food preparation, rituals, and social attitudes and examines questions like "How can we learn that eating is not a pleasure race, but an area to find grace?" and "How can we stop using food to fill ourselves up, and instead use it to fulfill ourselves?" Through daily reflections, Altman enables people to make wise food choices and create balance in their lives.

Review of A Thousand Little Bites: How the Pasch Diet helped me Overcome my Negative Body Image And Lose 10 lbs in the Process (Paperback)

WOW!!!What an awesome book!As a women who has struggled with weight and body image over the years, it really puts a perspective on life.We, as women, tend to worry about what we look like, how we look, are we skinny enough?, are we pretty enough?, etc.We have enough going on in our life to worry about those things. This book really opened my eyes to my own issues.I thank you Ms. Pasch for allowing me...to be me...to be happy with my own body and not worry about what everyone else has said about me over the years.I have had a thousand little bites myself and boy do they hurt but I have learned to live with them through the help of your book!Thank you!!!

Product Description

Little 'Bites'; this is what the author, Melissa Pasch, feels is taken out of each of us. Every hurtful comment, every unconstructive thought ... these are bites that eventually build, and lead us down the path of negative body image, eating disorders, and ultimately self-destruction.


Melissa has spent the last 20 years of her life giving into each bite, allowing them to control her. Allowing them to dictate her every thought, every meal.


She tells her story in diary format, including her food consumption and exercise regimen over a 25-day period. During this 25-day period, Melissa works to repair these bites that have been taken from her ... works to repair her self-esteem and self-worth. An added bonus, she loses 10 lbs in the process!


Melissa offers readers a candid approach, including body image exercises, self-reflection pages, and a realistic take on how we view ourselves.


There are many self-help books that have been written concerning body image and eating disorders. However, this easy to read, realistic story will help readers get rid of those negative, self destructive thoughts, and start a journey down the path to loving themselves for who they are!

Review of Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli - Yogic Nutrition & Cleansing for Health and Spirit (Paperback)

Once on the spiritual path, you will get a calling from within to watch what foods you put into your body and how you keep your body clean and healthy. This, namely saucha or purity, as Yogani explains in his book, belongs to the Niyama limb, one of the eight limbs of yoga from the sutras of Patanjali.
Yogani has done an excellent job in covering various factors of diet, and explains why most "fad diets" fail. The concept that one diet plan will fit all is not practical and it is important to listen to your body when you decide to improve your diet. He covers what kinds of foods to eat, how much to eat, and ways to cook food. He explains the foods that help balance the Ayurveda doshas - vata, pitta, kapha. He also covers fasting, addictions, drugs and yoga, and talks about the relation between kundalini (specifically the inner processes of soma, amrita and ojas), digestion and diet .
In Shatkarmas he covers cleansing techniques for mouth, nasal passages and sinuses (various forms of "neti"), colon ("bhasti"), intestinal wash ("dhauti"), nauli ("churning" of the abdominal muscles), kapalbhati ("shining face" technique) and trataka ("steady gazing").
This book also covers detailed instructions for Amaroli (urine therapy) and explains the many applications and benefits this practice has in health and spirituality.
He finally puts all of the techniques together and describes how all of this, when done along with meditation and pranayama, will help us progress on our spiritual path, increasing our inner silence, happiness and creativity in all we do in life.
This book helped me understand how to listen to my body for cues on what kind of foods I should eat to pacify the various dosha flare ups that I seem to go through on my spiritual path. Light and nutritious diet along with eating smaller quantities do help a lot. This book also helped me understand the changes occurring in me with respect to soma and amrita. I have added the neti, nauli, kapalbhati and trakata to my yoga practices and they do help with the movement of inner energies and seem to enhance my practice by a lot.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for one place to find all the information required for yogic diet and cleansing in one book. Really awesome book.

Product Description
"Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli" provides diet guidelines and practices for cleansing and optimizing the functioning of the inner neurobiology. This is more than a diet book. It is an integrated set of instructions on yogic nutrition, hygiene and rejuvenation, aiding and facilitating the process of human spiritual transformation. The human body is the doorway between our outer world and a boundless inner realm of peace, love and creative energy. When the doorway has been opened through balanced spiritual practices - health, productivity and happiness in daily life are the natural result. Yogani is the author of two landmark books on the world's most effective spiritual practices: "Advanced Yoga Practices - Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living," a comprehensive user-friendly textbook, and "The Secrets of Wilder," a powerful spiritual novel. The "AYP Enlightenment Series" makes these profound practices available for the first time in a series of concise instruction books. "Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli" is the sixth book in the series, preceded by "Samyama," "Asanas, Mudras and Bandhas," "Tantra," "Spinal Breathing Pranayama," and "Deep Meditation."

Review of The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan (Mass Market Paperback)

This book gave a lot of valuable information in a relatively succinct manner.Understanding this simple theory, and with plenty of examples, food choices, and menu items, following the book made it easy to adjust myfood choices to feel full on less calories, and provides an easy approachto managing weight.
The authors also debunk the 40-30-30 method of eatingwhich is very popular right now, and without mentioning him by name, BarrySears "Zone" approach.
The only real criticism, which does notdetract from the subject matter, is the layout of the book.Too many"sidebar" type inserts are included which made it impossible toread the book in a flowing manner.Additionally, much of that informationwould have been better included in an appendix.You also have to look forthe information in more than one place, when a more thoughtful approachwould have included that information in one table.For example, dietaryfiber content, which is important, is contained in one table, while thenumber of calories and energy density (the main focus of the book) are inanother.This information could have and should have been combined in onetable, which would have made the book a much better resource.
If you havefood allergies, or sensitivites, or are required to make restrictions forother reasons, you are on your own as to what foods to eliminate from theauthors' recommendations.That is something outside the scope of thisbook.
