CAVE IN THE SNOW: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment Ref: AW15//BEST

Vicki Mackenzie

In 1976 Diane Perry, by then known by her Tibetan name, Tenzin Palmo, secluded herself in a remote cave, 13,200 feet up in the Himalayas, cut off from the world by mountains and snow. There she engaged in twelve years of intense Buddhist meditation. She faced unimaginable cold, wild animals, near-starvation and avalanches; she grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box, three-feet-square - she never lay down. Her goal was to gain Enlightenment as a woman. Born in 1943, Tenzin Palmo was bought up in the heart of London's East End, the daughter of a fishmonger. She grew up with an inexplicable yearning to 'pursue perfection'; at the age of twenty, she left her job as a librarian and boarded a ship bound for India. In 1964, she became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Buddhist nun. She entered a Buddhist monastery, becoming the only woman among a hundred monks, and experienced first hand the discrimination that had for centuries been directed at women with serious spiritual aspirations. Alone and unhappy, she vowed she would gain Full Awakening. With this in mind, in 1970 she embarked on eighteen years of solemn retreat which culminated in her entering the cave. Cave in the Snow is a gripping story of courage and phenomenal persistence.

THE CURE FOR ALL CANCERS: With 100 Case Histories Ref: CV01//BEST

Hulda Regehr Clark

Hulda Clark believes that cancer can be cured in three weeks (reports that we have heard of do not, up till now, confirm this 100 percent but do seem to indicate considerable success). Her hypothesis for the real causes of cancer is simple and easy to understand. Her cure is equally simple, is drug-free, easy to obtain and easy to administer. The cure does not conflict with any form of clinical treatment. The book includes 100 case histories of people who have recovered from all kinds of cancers using Clark's treatment.

EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE Ref: AA933//BEST

Peter J D'Adamo

This breakthrough book based on decades of in-depth research has been hailed as one of the most important works on nutrition for decades. It shows why blood types mean that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same exercise. The author gives 4 diets, 4 exercise programmes and 4 plans for healthy living according to which of the 4 blood types you are (O, A, B and AB). Your blood type reflects your internal chemistry and actually determines the way you absorb nutrients. What foods you absorb well and how your body handles stress differ with each blood type. This book also explains why some blood types should eat meat and some should be vegetarian.

THE HOPI SURVIVAL KIT: The Prophecies, Instructions & Warnings Revealed by the Last Elders Ref: 2468//BEST

Thomas E Mails

For nearly a century the Elders of Hotevilla - a tiny village on a remote Hopi reservation in Arizona - have been guarding the secrets and prophecies of a thousand year old covenant that was created to ensure the well-being of the earth and its creatures. But the elders are dying, and there is no one left to pass on its remarkable teachings. Renowned Native American expert, Thomas Mails, was chosen by the last surviving elders to reveal to the outside world the sacred Hopi prophecy and instructions at precisely the time in history when they are most urgently needed. The Hopi Survival Kit is the first full revelation of traditional Hopi prophecy. Many of its predictions have already been realised, but the most shattering apocalyptic events are still to occur. And though this may be a sobering realisation, it is also our best defence. For the Hopi teachings give detailed instructions for survival - our actions can alter the pace and intensity of what will happen and help avoid a cataclysmic end.

SPIRITWALKER: Messages from the Future Ref: 2555//BEST

Hank Wesselman

Not since Carlos Castaneda's tutelage under the Yaqui shaman Don Juan has there been a spiritual autobiography quite like Spiritwalker. Hank Wesselman's amazing true story begins with a series of vivid dreams he had while living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawaii. Eventually Wesselman became convinced that what he'd experienced were not merely dreams but a vision encounter with the spirit world. Why was he being propelled by these vivid altered states to embark on twelve fantastic journeys across time and space? Along the way he met shape-shifting entities, spirit helpers and guardians, and merged with a Hawaiian Kahuna mystic 5,000 years into the future. Wesselman's own scepticism makes his mysterious odyssey compelling reading for believers and doubters alike, and challenges our preconceptions of the world, reality, and our future. "What a fabulous, inspiring account! This book explodes our narrow ways of thinking about the nature of the mind." - Larry Dossey.

Bear Heart

This is a beautiful book written by a much-loved and respected Native American elder and healer. Bear Heart is a charismatic story-teller.

In fact, ultimately, love is the message of this book. Very highly recommended.

Dr F Batmanghelidj

Dr Batmanghelidj exposes a new discovery that the body possesses many different thirst signals. It is now apparent that many different symptoms and signs for showing the body's comparative dehydration have until now been viewed as classical diseases of the body. In this book, the reasons are given why as a result of an age-dependent loss of the thirst sensation in humans, dyspeptic pain, rheumatoid joint pain, anginal pain, hypertension, asthma, allergy, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, and diabetes in the elderly are either primary indicators or the consequences of a settled-in dehydration.
