Can saturated fat be good for you? Natural coconut oil - not the hydrogenated version often found in processed foods - is a saturated fat, but not the kind your doctor has warned you about. Coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps prevent heart disease, stroke, and hardening of the arteries. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk. Now, in his revised edition of the first book to describe the therapeutic properties of coconut oil, Bruce Fife offers a nutrition plan with dozens of tasty recipes that will allow anyone to experience the healing miracles of what he deems the perfect food. When taken as a supplement, used in cooking or applied to directly to the skin, coconut oil has been found to: Promote weight loss; help protect against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and many other degenerative diseases; strengthen the immune system; improve digestion; and prevent premature ageing of the skin.

Kilmer S McCully
Can an inexpensive B vitamin protect against heart disease more effectively than expensive cholesterol-lowering drugs? How come most heart attack victims have "normal" cholesterol levels? There is a revolution brewing in our understanding not only of heart disease, but of all the degenerative diseases of ageing. The Harvard trained physician and researcher behind one of the major medical and scientific breakthroughs of this century, Kilmer S McCully, tells his story of medical discovery and, challenging the popular lipid theory of arteriosclerosis, explains why our vitamin B-depleted food supply may be the real culprit behind the epidemic of heart disease. "A telling glimpse into the politics of medical research... illuminates the tortuous way by which new ideas gain the attention of the medical establishment. The Homocysteine Revolution contains a great deal of information that will be new to most physicians and patients.... It is not too early for us all to apply the practical suggestions that Kilmer McCully makes to protect ourselves from arteriosclerosis and other diseases of lifestyle that are so destructive in our society" - Andrew T Weil.

Maca grows in the harshest, most difficult farmlands in the world, where scarcely no other crop plant can grow. Native Peruvians have used Maca as food and medicine since before the Incas. It’s value to relieve health problems caused by stress is just as important today as it was then. This booklet reviews Macas three major benefits: a hormonal balancer/regulator; an adaptogen supporting the entire endocrine system, especially the adrenal glands, reducing the effects of stress on the body; a sexual stimulant and fertility aid.
