Written by a Westerner for the Western mind, here is the first book to explore in light of modern science the balanced and comprehensive system of health care used by Chinese physicians, martial artists, and meditators for over 5,000 years.

  • diet and nutrition, including sample menus
  • food combining, and detoxifying the body
  • specific foods and juices as treatments for a wide range of diseases (including such modern Western concerns as hypertension, cancer, infertility, herpes, and AIDS)
  • fasting and excretion
  • breathing exercises
  • physical exercises for long life, total relaxation, and general health
  • acupuncture and massage techniques
  • Taoist birth control
  • sex therapy
  • bedroom arts and techniques to ensure complete satisfaction for both partners (considered essential for good health and long life)
  • herbal aphrodisiacs and other sexual aids
  • meditation -- turning essence into energy and energy into spirit

With many helpful charts and clear illustrations, The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity makes the ancient "Way" easily accessible to those seeking the latest in New Age health care.

My Dog's Health (My Dog's Health Book 1)

My Dog's Health (My Dog's Health Book 1) Review



I have provided this information so that you can read, learn and use it to make the most of the very precious time you have as your dog goes through life and the changes that this brings... Sometimes illnesses in dogs and puppies are very minor and may not need medical treatment. You may have read or been advised about a home remedy that has been used by a friend to cure your dog's upset stomach or 24 hour stomach virus.

For that reason I have listed the odd home remedy & alternative treatments. But please remember, our number one concern is your dog or puppy, so please, if you have any concerns or medical questions, or just some advice to ease your worries take your dog or puppy to the vet.

Now sit back, relax and enjoy my book..
