Описание: At the height of the Great Depression, the mysterious deaths of children in Oklahoma sparked an unprecedented investigation of a new and powerful antibiotic elixir. In a "nationwide race with death," US government agents struggled to seize and destroy hundreds of bottles of the toxic drug before more children could be killed. Elixir tells the shocking true story of the deaths of more than 100 Americans who fell victim to this untested drug, the forces that led to the disaster, and the parallels to similar episodes of drug poisoning that continue to this day. Barbara J. Martin has compiled the most detailed historical account to date of this vast pharmaceutical tragedy and the myriad reactions to the fatal poisonings-from the manufacturer, the prescribing doctors, the dispensing pharmacists, and the organizations that had a significant stake in this tragedy, including the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and Congress. Elixir follows this industrial catastrophe to its alarming conclusion with important insights for the 21st century.

Researchers from Iran, Switzerland and Thailand excitedly discuss their findings about how men they have treated with extracts of rose have recovered lost sexual function and started to rise out of deep depression after just eight weeks.

Japanese researchers studied the effects that rose essential oil had on stress related skin flare ups. Carefully plotting the neurochemical pathways triggered by the rose they were able identify exactly how stress affects the skin, but more importantly...how rose oil can prevent these break outs too. Most excitingly the medicine was not taken internally, or even applied to the skin, it was achieved entirely by inhalation of essential oils. Aromatherapy in its absolute truest sense.

Описание:
Certain images create an inerasable imprint. Like... "...the images of two mothers...my Ma and my Ayah. One in the form of Sita, that mythological heroine from Ramayana who silently withstood the onslaught of miseries as well as sufferings... the other embodying the spirit of the mythological figure of Nemesis, synonymous with retribution and revenge and destroying the devil and evil." "...With a blood-soaked butcher knife on the right hand and blood-stained heavy metal rod on the other, with bloody scars and spats on the face and dress all around, the figure appeared with a posture firm and strong." "He... turned around only to see a wearied, downcast Gopal in the elevator mirror... Here he was standing like a convict in a jail cell for no fault of his. He felt sympathy... for that prisoner of life. In that life, Lady Justice had been truly wearing the blindfold while tilting the balance of the scales first with hope and happiness and then dumping the other side with desolateness and depression."
The bouquet of stories thus is a microcosm of the eternal tussle between man and destiny. The resultant conflict of forces and the perennial dilemma that overwhelm the society at large are portrayed in detail using the apt situation and the right character. The book is embellished with such enduring images.

Описание: At last --the republication of a rare and remarkable book--now available at an extremely affordable price-- documenting an odyssey on the part of 2 scientists for the 'Lost Secret of the Fountain of Youth'--Dr. Henri Coanda, Head of the Rumanian Institute of Sciences and his protege, Dr. G. Patrick Flanagan of "Pyramid Power" fame. . This is the story of a discovery that may help to slow the dehydration and subsequent tissue damage that accompanies the aging process. THE BEGINNING OF THE QUEST When Patrick Flanagan was 17 years old, he had already been a child prodigy in electronics and chemistry since the age of eight (15). He was consulting with a Stamford, Connecticut-based science 'think tank' when he first met Dr Henri Coanda. Dr Coanda is known as the "Father of Fluid Dynamics". He invited Flanagan into his office and told him a secret that would change his entire life. He told Patrick that he had spent over 60 years searching for the secret to "the fountain of youth." He said that the human body is over 70 per cent water and that the brain is 90 per cent water. He said that the water contains within its structure the secret to reversing the aging process. Dr. Coanda had developed testing methods for determining different geometries in the structure of water (10). He traveled at length around the world and found five places that contained what he termed "anomalous water". Two of these places included Hunza land in the Karakoram Mountains of Northern Pakistan, and the Vilcabambia in Ecuador It has long fascinated anthropologists that people who live in these areas tend to age more slowly than the rest of us. In fact, people who live in these areas tend to remain healthy and disease-free well after the age of 100. There are documented cases of men fathering children after the age of 100. Dr. Coanda discovered that the secret of longevity in these areas was due to the special physical properties of their water. The people who live in these areas also claim that water is the secret of their long, healthy lives. He found that this 'Hunza-type' water was significantly different from water found anywhere else. Dr. Coanda's lifelong ambition was to recreate Hunza water in his laboratory. Since the human body averages 70 per cent water, he was convinced that the secret of the Hunza people's abundance of healthy centenarians was due to the health enhancing properties of their anomalous water. As a result of his studies, he was able to test water all over the Earth and could predict the average age of death in any given locality just by testing the water in that area. Dr Coanda originated the expression. "You are what you drink". Re said that the water affects our health more than any other nutrient. He told Patrick: "Discover the secret of Hunza-type water and you can extend life indefinitely". Dr. Coanda revealed the special characteristics of Hunza-type water to Patrick. With these clues in hand, Patrick started his own quest for the secret of Hunza water. After obtaining a sample of Hunza water, Patrick performed his own analysis. The first thing he discovered was that Hunza water is in many ways just like distilled water It does not contain the mineral salts we find in mountain springs or in well-water It is devoid of mineral salts (7). The next thing Patrick found was that Hunza water contains trace minerals in a special colloidal form. Colloidal minerals are minerals that are insoluble in water Colloidal minerals are not ionized into anions and cations like mineral salts. n 1983, Patrick and his wife Gael built a new water research laboratory where they continued the quest for the secret of Hunza water. As a result of one year of joint research, they finally succeeded in duplicating the anomalous properties of Hunza water.

A teenage prodigy goes on a suspenseful adventure to cure his girlfriend of a mysterious disease.
Protagonist Sean Malone's journey begins at fourteen. He has a genius IQ north of 200, a full-ride scholarship to the country's top technical university, and over a million bucks from a winning run on Jeopardy. However, he wishes he could just be normal.
His genius comes at a price. When he cracks the Traveling Salesman Problem, the hardest enigma in computer science, the US government manipulates him, using his cryptographic discovery to pursue a covert operation and killing innocent people along the way.
When Sean pushes back, the Department of Defense pushes harder, and the brilliant protagonist is forced to flee to Rome to build a new life under a new name, abandoning academics, and hiding his mental gift from everyone.
He enjoys a quiet existence in secrecy the next few years. And at eighteen, falls in love.
The calm shatters when his girlfriend, Natasha, turns critically ill. Her doctors have no idea how to control her disease before it overcomes her. His intellect is her only hope of survival. He knows nobody else can figure out the medical puzzle before her time runs out.
Sean brazenly returns to the US, where he has to avoid the omnipresent eye of the NSA as he tries to piece together a cure. His obstacles intensify when he hacks into the servers of a multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical company. And it finds out.
He now has to dodge not just one, but two powerful institutions on US soil, all while besting a next-to-impossible medical problem and finding a way back to Europe before it's too late for Natasha.
Elixir is a story about identity, secrets, and above all, love.
This Amazon #1 bestselling thriller, author Ted Galdi's debut, is enjoyed by both YA and adult fiction audiences.
Readers of all types find its parallels to modern society intriguing. An NSA book, reminiscent of the Edward Snowden incident, the technothriller examines the darkness that can loom over government agencies. And its take on the Ebola virus is an expression of how human ingenuity, if allowed to flourish, can make the world a safer and better place, a hopeful reminder in light of Ebola outbreak 2014.
A fast-paced, sci fi medical thriller with unique characters and streaks of cutting-edge mathematics, Elixir, written in the tradition of authors like Michael Crichton, is sure to stir readers' emotions while compelling them to turn pages.
