Hailed by Mark Hyman, MD, as “a ray of light and hope” for autoimmune sufferers, this groundbreaking book provides research and solutions for those affected by autoimmune disorders including Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.

In the first book of its kind, journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa examines nearly 100 debilitating autoimmune diseases—such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis—that cause the body to destroy itself, mistakenly attacking healthy cells as the immune system fights off bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. As Nakazawa share the vivid, heartbreaking stories, including her own, of people living with these mysterious, chronic, and often hard-to-diagnose illnesses, she explores the alarming and unexpected connection between this deadly crisis and the countless environmental triggers we’re exposed to every day: heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, viruses, chemicals in the foods we eat, and more.

With the help of leading experts, Nakazawa explores revolutionary preventions, treatments, and cures emerging around the world and offers practical advice for protecting your immune system and reducing your risk of autoimmune disease in the future.

CAN ANYBODY BECOME SUPERNATURAL?

Readers will learn that we are, quite literally supernatural by nature, given the proper knowledge and instruction. When we learn how to apply that information through various meditations, we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities. We all have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly coherent streams of consciousness and energy. We can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profound, mystical, transcendental experiences; if we do this enough times, we can develop the skills to create a more efficient, balanced, healthy body, a more unlimited mind, and greater access to the realms of spiritual truth.

Topics include:

• Demystifying the body’s seven energy centers and how you can balance them to heal.
• How to free yourself from the past by reconditioning your body to a new mind.
• How you can create reality in the generous present moment by changing your energy.
• The difference between third-dimension creation and fifth-dimension creation.
• The secret science of the pineal gland and its role in accessing mystical realms of reality.
• The distinction between Space-Time vs. Time-Space realities.

Using tools and disciplines ranging from cutting-edge physics to practical exercises such as a walking meditation, Dr. Joe offers nothing less than a program for stepping outside our physical reality and into the quantum field of infinite possibilities.

When I graduated from medical school in 1998, I assumed I had the foundation to treat a wide variety of health conditions. During my time in practice, however, I have found that traditional medicine does some things well, but is deficient in many areas as well. My goal in medicine is to achieve an integrated, balanced approach utilizing the best of mainstreamand alternative options.

This blog is my journey toward a more proactive holistic approach to wellness focusing on robust long-term solutions rather than reactive prescribing that only treats a person’s symptoms.

My practice has evolved over the years meandering from the mainstream to the alternative and often back again. My simple goal is integration, the best of whatever there is with a focus on prevention and wellness rather than treating illness and disease.

More precisely though I am constantly searching and refining the care I provide to find not only the best option, but often the simplest and least expensive option.

How can we determine the best option for a particular health issue?

A physician would probably summon the almighty double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (hereby referred to as DBPCT for convenience). That level of evidence is often considered the gold standard for M.D.s and can be as close as we get to optimal—or is it?

In reality, it’s not that simple.

The idea that physicians make the majority of their clinical decisions on a daily basis from DBPCTs is an illusion. A practitioner’s decision for what’s best for a particular individual for a specific issue at a single moment in time is a distillation of their experience to that point plus a recollection of some expert opinion, a few study results, anecdotes from patients, instinct and a smattering of randomness.

When we look a bit deeper into the medical establishment the myth of the evidence-based doctor blows up. It has been estimated that 85% of all studies done in medicine are sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. Ouch. There is also some evidence that, for a given issue like SSRI antidepressants, up to 50% of the pharmaceutical-sponsored research is never published. Ugh.

Where can we get reliable evidence then?

The federal government? There have been times over the years when the National Institutes for Health (NIH) or some over government entity gives us a well-done study to help guide clinical decisions (e.g. the ALLHAT study), but that is uncommon and with less federal money available, will probably become more rare.

The vitamin and supplement industry generally has little inclination to do rigorous studies because Americans believe in their products. There is a strong disincentive to do a study that may show that a vitamin or supplement has no value. In our current system, the profit machines of Big Pharma and the vitamin/supplement manufacturers are all winners. The befuddled patient trying to be healthy is often the loser.

This blog, and my book The Best of All Worlds, is trying to sort through different issues in health and wellness with a balanced approach.

Some feel that the mainstream is the way to go no matter what. This person may assume the alternative world is a blend of hocus pocus, bluster and nonsense with little or no evidence behind it. Others are so frustrated with the allopathic approach to the world—heavy with pharmaceuticals and intervention and light on the wellness and prevention—that they seek “natural” options for everything.

I believe that both sides have a lot to offer and we would do well to try and find the best no matter what the source.

Regardless of where and how you live, your body is harboring dozens if not hundreds of toxins that could be sabotaging your health. Low on energy? Dealing with chronic illness? Having trouble losing weight? Toxins might be to blame. From your mattress to your toothpaste to your nonstick pans to the food you eat and the (bottled) water you drink -- every day your body is bombarded with chemicals that can alter the way your body works, affecting its natural processes and capacity to heal and maintain vibrancy. Even though we are built to handle foreign substances effectively, our liver and other organs simply cannot cope with today's glut of toxins, many of which are too foreign and toxic for our bodies to manage well. This ultimately causes us to age prematurely, to gain weight, and to become more prone to disease.

• How to determine your individual level of toxic exposure and the steps you can take to reduce it
• Why efforts to cleanse and detoxify the body are an essential part of enhancing one's energy and vitality and preserving overall health
• How maintaining a cleaner, more vibrant body can affect longevity

The following is an adapted excerpt from my new book “Eat Dirt: Why Leaky Gut May Be the Root Cause of Your Health Problems and 5 Surprising Steps to Cure It“ (Harper Wave)

Is eating dirt part of your diet? Before you get a bad taste in your mouth, consider this: If you were to take away the water in our bodies, you’d be left with mostly dirt. It’s true.

We’re made of 60 of the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust, an amalgam of its elements, including oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus, with traces of potassium, sulfur, sodium, iron and magnesium. All of these elements come together to make a living, breathing human being.

Now, when I say “eat dirt,” I’m not ordering you to actually scoop up a handful of soil and eat it. (Well, not exactly.) True, ensuring you get daily micro-exposures to soil-based organisms in dirt and other plant life is important for your health. But I urge you to embrace the idea of “eating dirt” as a broader philosophy, an overarching principle I teach my patients when I talk to them about how to heal leaky gut syndrome and feel better again.

After suffering for years with unexplainable health issues, Dr. Ben Lynch discovered the root cause—“dirty” genes. Genes can be “born dirty” or merely “act dirty” in response to your environment, diet, or lifestyle—causing lifelong, life-threatening, and chronic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, obesity, cancer, and diabetes.

Based on his own experience and successfully helping thousands of clients, Dr. Lynch shows you how to identify and optimize both types of dirty genes by cleaning them up with targeted and personalized plans, including healthy eating, good sleep, stress relief, environmental detox, and other holistic and natural means.

One of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year

Winner of the James Beard Award

Author of #1 New York Times Bestsellers In Defense of Food and Food Rules

What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, with The Omnivore’s Dilemma, his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later, The Omnivore’s Dilemma continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.

The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)--and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents--now revised and updated.

Does your child exhibit...

Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a "sensory avoider," withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games--or he may be a "sensory disregarder," needing a jump start to get moving.

Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to sounds, sights taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues.

Cravings for sensation? The "sensory craver" never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement.

Poor sensory discrimination? She may not sense the difference between objects or experiences--unaware of what she's holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when she's falling or how to catch herself.

Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world.

Problems with posture or motor coordination? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.

These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Disorder--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents and professionals--and a drug-free treatment approach for children.

This revised edition includes new sections on vision and hearing, picky eaters, and coexisting disorders such as autism and ADHD, among other topics.

Most diets fail. Well, honestly, almost all diets fail. The question we must ask is “why?” Do we just need to be stronger, have more willpower, or better discipline? Maybe if we had more of those things or a “better relationship with food” we’d be able to stick with healthy changes over the long haul, right?

Wrong. We are told this story again and again, and despite our best efforts, we’re still fat, sick, and broken.

Here’s the deal: It’s not a personal failing to find modern foods, and habits irresistible. We are genetically wired to eat more and move less — the exact opposite of what we are frequently told. It’s not our fault we are in this situation, but we do need to do something different if we want a different outcome.
