Citing alarmingly high numbers of children and adults suffering from mental disorders, Wake Forest University School of Medicine integrative medicine specialist Kemper (The Holistic Pediatrician) examines an array of practical strategies, from diet and exercise to acupuncture and supplements. Kemper's comprehensive approach covers commonplace tips ("Things that promote physical fitness promote mental health," "Poor sleep leads to numerous mental health problems"), over-the-counter standards (reviewing of the benefits and possible side effects of vitamin and mineral supplements), and other non-prescription remedies (bright light to counter winter blues, aromatherapy) with equal vigor. Fundamental strategies include advice on avoiding environmental hazards like toxic cleaners and pesticides, and techniques for stress management like positive thinking and meditation. Discussing specific herbal remedies, Kemper summarizes research into health claims (crocus for depression, Gingko or Pine Bark for ADHD), as well as pertinent safety information. In Kemper's opinion, most homeopathic (plant-, mineral-, or animal-based) remedies are safe (in moderation) but of questionable benefit; she is far more positive about massage therapy and acupuncture. For those investigating alternative medicine for mental health, this makes an informative and reliable resource.

This may be the long awaited breakthrough in consciousness so urgently needed in in a world gone mad. What emerges is a unique integration of science, holistic medicine, and ancient spiritual knowledge involving angels and Kabbala into a new united approach for healing chronic disease and otimizing wellness. As her dramatic case histories presented here show, Linda Freud is far beyond the level of any medcial intuitive that I am aware of. I highly recommend "The Healing Gift" as a paradigm breakthrough in holistic healing." --Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H.) --Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H.)

"Linda has made a major contribution to the science of detoxifying mercury, a root cause of much chronic degenerative disease. I find her level of diagnostic accuracy and attention to detail in the healing process to be astonishing. Linda is blessed with a prodigious gift of healing. --Dietrich Klinghart, M.D. --Dietrich Klinghart, M.D.

"In the nearly ten hears I have known Linda and David Freud, I have watched with awe and amazement as Linda is able, through her intuitive gifts, to reveal the most precise detail of information regarding health conditions--matching or surpassing any health practitioner whom I am aware of. I am confident that "The Healing Gift" will catapult Linda into becoming an internationally acclaimed personality." --Hyla Cass, M.D.

After undergoing a battery of expensive physical and energetic tests performed by a leading German doctor several years ago, I saw Linda Freud who without any previous knowledge of my test results proceeded to not only duplicate the resuts of my medical tests, buy took the entire process even further to provide me with valuable medical information. I have done my due diligence and am astonished at the accuracy of her healing gift.--Burton Goldberg, author/editor of many books including "Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide. --Burton Goldberg

Linda's expertise in healing chronic degenerative conditions stems for her extraordinary ability to identify and detoxify environmental toxins and pathogens that are difficult to detect through traditional lab testing.

Linda Freud, with whom I have worked for several years, adds an important therapeutic dimension to the emotional and spiritual healing of chronically ill patients. Linda has made a major contribution in treating negative emotions, removing earthbound spirits, and identifying past life issues that may exacerbate chronic illness. While the origin and nature of her channeling gift may be highly mystical, the healing that ensues is completely results oriented. She is a true original." --Thomas Rau, M.D. --Dr. Thomas Rau, M.D., medical director of the Paracelsus Clinic in Lustmuhle, Switzerland

According to a number of leading medical doctors, Linda Freud possesses what may be the most unique ability to heal or dramatically improve chronic healh conditions in the world. The reason for this, Linda claims, is because its origins are from beyond this world. What is a medical Intuitive? Like a forensic psychic brought in to solve a crime, a medical intuitive is a medical psychic detective, brought in to find the hidden causes of medical conditions that have eluded conventional doctors and diagnostic lab tests. As she works with a pendulum while scanning complex databases of medical, emotional, and metaphysical information, Linda channels angels and spirits to receive incredibly accurate information on chronic health conditions. She then targets the appropriate natural remedies, detoxification protocols, and a customized channeled diet needed for successful treatment. She works with and under the medical license of Dr. Thom E.Lobe, M.D. at the Beneveda Medical Group in Beverly Hills, CA and the Malibu Beach Recovery Center in Malibu, CA. In "The Healing Gift" author and medical researcher David Freud leads the reader down the scientific path of verification of Linda's diagnostic and treatment protocols through powerful testimonials of healing that defy conventional logic. Instead of relying on diagnostic lab tests, she uses a process entitled Metaphysical Systems Engineering (TM), through which she receives detailed information on challenging medical conditions. There are stunning testimonials from her clients describing difficult health conditions she has successfully treated. These include arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, ulcerative colitis, infertility, and other conditions where the common underlying theme is undiagnosed environmental toxicity. The term "medical intuitive" was coined by Carolyn Myss, author of several best-selling books on the subject. However, the doctors who work with her believe Linda is far more advanced that other medical intuitives. Her international reputation stems from her ability to dramatically improve difficult medical conditions after traditional practitioners have failed. "The Healing Gift" opens with a description of David and Linda's considerable health struggles, the discovery of Linda's gift and its profound spiritual implications for our times. Great care is taken to validate the scientific rationale behind her approach to alternative medicine in subsequent chapters. Once the groundwork for Linda's scientific credibility has been established. David shifts gears, using this as a springboard to reveal even more astonishing metaphysical and spiritual information that, he writes, "must be taken seriously as it comes from the same spigot as the medical information." The second half of the book introduces Sigmund Freud, Linda's main spirit guide with another revelation - Sigmund is now working through Linda to reinvent the field of psychology with discoveries he has made in the spirit world since he transitioned in 1939. From a neurological perspective, this includes the use of natural remedies to ease emotional suffering brought on by depression, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. The crown jewel of the book, however, is a remarkable channeled conversation on reincarnation with Sigmund Freud and later Carl Jung, as well as discourses on Linda's communication with angels, the distressed state of the world, and more surprising revelations. As it ushers in a new age of miracles and hope, "The Healing Gift" is designed to shake things up by offering new breakthrough perspectives on healing and spirituality. It is guaranteed to provoke enormous controversy as it provides unique and overwhelming evidence that an authentic bridge exists between science and spirit.

Distill the world's great spiritual teachings down to their most basic principles and one thread emerges to unite them all: kindness. In The Force of Kindness, Sharon Salzberg, one of the world's most respected Buddhist authors and meditation teachers, offers practical instruction on how to cultivate this essential trait within ourselves. Now available in paperback, this book-and-CD takes us on an exploration of what kindness truly means and the simple steps to realize its effects immediately. "When we fan even the smallest ember of kindness," teaches Salzberg, "we begin to overcome our own fears, doubts, and personal attachments-and tap an endless source of gentle strength available to us all."

Dr. Janine Talty, today a successful osteopathic physician, as a child found herself bewildered by a world full of challenges that she could not understand. She felt isolated, unable to cope with the regular life issues that other children managed easily. She could not comprehend math or spelling-yet she could see energies that others could not see, and had levels of awareness than no-one around her possessed. She exhibited unusual artistic and healing talent. She spontaneously remembered and drew pictures from "old memories" of places her family had never visited. Only as she grew into adulthood, painfully learning to cope with her challenges, did she realize she was an "indigo," one of a generation of people with unusual talents and abilities, yet who rarely fit neatly into societal roles.This book is the inspiring story of how she overcomes these challenges, finds her voice and identity, and discovers a channel for her healing abilities as an osteopathic physician.

"Bruce Doyle tells us in the preface to this book that he is not speaking as an engineer, former GE executive, or PhD in Organizational Transformation. He is speaking from his heart, without scientific proof, because he wants us to experience for ourselves the use of the fundamentals of thinking to achieve the life that we deserve. It's not a new idea, but it is a very original approach for applying the concept. While Doyle writes simply (and inspirationally) enough to make right-brain types comfortable, his logical explanations are just what's needed to bring skeptical, left-brain types into the fold. Let customers know that this is not just another think-your-way-to-your-dreams monologue." -Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer, May 2011

Is everything that goes on in your mind really you? Perhaps not, says Australian psychic researcher Robert Bruce. Drawing on more than two decades of firsthand research and experience, Bruce reports that our minds are subject to influences from many unseen spiritual sources. Some of these can influence how we think, feel, act, and even how our bodies function. They can make us unhappy, irritable, confused, sick, unstable, even crazy. This is why we need practical tools and countermeasures for psychic self-defense, all of which Bruce provides.

This is the ultimate guide to combating the influences of earthbound spirits, deranged ghosts, astral snakes and spiders, demonic spirits, and poltergeists. This is a highly anecdotal and comprehensive practical guide to the dark side of the psychic universe.
