	A Whole Foods Primer by BEATRICE TRUM HUNTER

Beatrice Trum Hunter has written numerous books on food issues, including Consumer Beware: Your Food Whats Been Done to It (Simon Schuster, 1971), The Mirage of Safety: Food Additives Federal Policy (Charles Scribners Sons, 1975), The Great Nutrition Robbery (Charles Scribners Sons, 1978), The Sugar Trap How to Avoid It (Houghton Mifflin, 1982), and Food Your Health (Basic Health Publications, 2003). As food editor for more than twenty years at Consumers Research Magazine, her monthly columns and feature articles brought cutting-edge issues before general recognition. Hunter has received many awards and recognitions for her work.

A Whole Foods Primer demonstrates the wisdom of selecting whole foods for optimal intake of the nutrients essential for good health. In this book, readers will learn about the basic nutritional components of each whole food group and their specific functions and beneficial roles in the body. The text presents nutrient profiles and surprising facts about some hundred whole foods, their historical uses as food and medicine, and the latest research that identifies their health-bestowing qualities.

	Bursting With Energy by FRANK SHALLENBERGER

In this updated revision of his acclaimed book, Bursting with Energy, Dr. Frank Shallenberger makes a clear connection between the amount of energy you have and the amount of aging you do, pointing out that, in medical terms, aging refers to a loss of function, not chronology. A thirty-year old with no loss of function is identical to a twenty-year-old, he says. And the same is true for fully functional people in their sixties--they are the same as thirty-year-olds. According to Shallenberger, the loss of functions that result from aging are themselves the result of energy loss: more energy, less aging; less energy, more aging. When Dr. Shallenberger discusses anti-aging methods, he is actually talking about improving energy production. His work with patients over the years has proven that an energy deficit is the root cause of every disease and symptom, from cancer, to fatigue, to obesity.

	Chinese Home Remedies by Lihua Wang

Lihua Wang began her career as a cardiologist in the China Academy of Traditional Medicine, in Bejing, China. In 1982, she was invited by Kaiser Permenante Research Center as a visiting scholar and later selected by the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine to teach acupuncture and Chinese herbology to American students. She has been in private practice, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, since 1992 in Portland, Oregon.

More than 1,000 effective remedies, a treasure trove of information you can use every day. Chinese Home Remedies is a book that offers an intriguing blend of traditional Chinese medicine - as practiced today - and a wide variety of ancient Chinese folk remedies. You'll often be surprised how easily a problem that has lingered for weeks or months can be cured! This book is a distillation of Ms. Wang's 30 years of clinical experiences as both a physician in China and an acupuncturist and herbalist in the United States. It explains in simple-to-understand language how to treat yourself or a family member using a variety of techniques, including Chinese massage, food therapy, Chinese herbal formulas, and folk remedies that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Did you know that apple slices can ease itching skin, hooking your middle fingers together can stop a nosebleed, or that eating peanuts can lower your blood pressure? These are only a few of the more than 1,000 effective remedies that you will find in Chinese Home Remedies. By following just a few pieces of this book's advice, you will find yourself on a healthier life path.

Welcome, ASCLA InterFace subscribers! We are offering a selection of titles to you at a 40% discount. These include bestselling and important new titles, such as:



Stillness Speaks: Tolle, Eckhart, "This book, of course,
uses words which in the act of reading become thoughts
in your mind. But those are not ordinary thoughts -
repetitive, noisy, self-serving, clamoring for attention....
The thoughts within this book don't say, 'Look at me,' but
'Look beyond me.' Because the thoughts came out of
stillness, they have power - the power to take you back
into the same stillness from which they arose. That stillness
is also inner peace, and that stillness and peace is the
essence of your Being. It is the stillness that will save and
transform the world." -- From the Introduction by Eckhart
Tolle

Praise Song For The Day: (A Poem For Barack
Obama's Presidential Inauguration January 20,

praise song for the day." READ BY THE POET AT THE
INAUGURATION OF Barack Obama

The Anatomy of PEACE: (Resolving The Heart of
Conflict) by The Arbinger Institute. Arbinger's materials
educate people about the problem of self-deception, and
Arbinger's methodologies help people to overcome it. In
the words of an early reviewer of The Anatomy of Peace,
"Arbinger helps people to see in a different way-to see
problems differently, conflicts differently, challenges
differently, opportunities differently, each other
differently." To which another added, "I know of no tool
or way of thinking that contributes so masterfully to real,
lasting peace-in families, organizations, communities, and
nations."

There are also some practical books, such as:

How to Administer and Estate, Living with Alzheimer's and Something to Live for: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life.
