Weaving together the ancient wisdom of herbalism and up-to-date scientific research on cancer, aging and nutrition, renowned medical herbalist and clinical nutritionist Donald Yance reveals how to master stress, improve energy levels, prevent degenerative disease and age gracefully with the elite herbs known as adaptogens. Yance's holistic approach, called the Eclectic Triphasic Medical System (ETMS), is based on extensive scientific research, more than 25 years of clinical practice and excellent results with thousands of patients. It centers on four interconnected groups of health tools: botanical formulations, nutritional supplements, diet and lifestyle. Defining three categories for adaptogenic herbs, he explains how formulations should combine herbs from each category to create a synergistic effect. He provides more than 60 monographs on herbs and nutritional compounds as well as custom combinations to revitalize the immune system, build cardiovascular health, protect brain function, manage weight and support cancer treatment. He explains the interplay of endocrine health, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thyroid function, and stress in the aging process and reveals how adaptogenic treatment begins at the cellular level with the mitochondria--the microscopic energy producers present in every living cell. Emphasizing spirituality, exercise, and diet in addition to herbal treatments and nutritional supplements, Yance's complete lifestyle program explores how to enhance energy production in the body and subdue the pro-inflammatory state that lays the groundwork for nearly every degenerative disease, taking you from merely surviving to thriving.

This book will change the way you look at cosmetics and personal care products for the better. Based on 10 years of research and over 1000 scientific references it puts the truth about cosmetics and personal care products at your fingertips. Since its first publication as a 60 page pamphlet 20 years ago, science has shown an even clearer link between the toxic chemicals hidden in these products and chronic illness, especially breast cancer. While there may be only small amounts of these chemicals added to these products, we now know they are applied many times each day and directly to our skin. Other chronic health conditions linked with these products include skin conditions, asthma and allergies, weight gain, diabetes and metabolic syndrome and other cancers such as skin and prostate cancers. Many of the toxic chemicals added to these products are quickly and efficiently absorbed through the skin and blood, and can play havoc with your hormones leading to an increase in hormone relate cancers, thyroid dysfunction and reproductive difficulties in both males and females. By reading this book you will learn not just about the health problems associated with these products but which chemicals and products you can avoid and what to look for in a safer product. Making safer choices can go along way to improving your health. There is now just too much science to ignore it.
