There are lots of books about anxiety. Most of them are written by medical professionals like psychiatrists and psychologists, with lots of great information on the latest tools and techniques to beat anxiety. There aren't, however, many books written by people who have actually suffered from anxiety - and recovered. People who actually know what it feels like to be haunted by strange and terrifying thoughts and feelings day after day.

David McLaughlin has transferred his knowledge and experience into this book, which is designed to help others recover. By helping sufferers understand how stress and anxiety work and what they do to the brain and body, the book helps them break the never-ending cycle of worry and fear that keeps them stuck. David provides the reader with a step-by-step guide to recovery, in a practical and easy to follow way.

A Mother's Quest for a Natural Birth after a Cesarean

2019 Honorable Mention
On the joyful day of her son’s birth, Thais Derich never questioned going to the hospital. A week later, she walked out physically, spiritually, and emotionally injured, and fully disabused of the idea that the medical field would ever put her best interests before protocol, money, and legal concerns. The next three years of her life were spent recovering from that day, and preparing herself to do things her way when she became pregnant again. And then she did get pregnant again―and that resolve was put to the test.



A universal story about betrayal and trust and the roller coaster ride in between, Second Chance illuminates the many ways in which our healthcare system is broken when it comes to helping women give birth, and gives a voice to all the mothers who have walked away from their delivery experiences wondering what the hell just happened.

The condition of hair loss is a topic of significant public interest, and understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of the different types of alopecia (hair loss) will surely have an impact on the men and women afflicted by this condition. Hair loss is a pervasive problem affecting both men and women, and it can have profound psychological effects on the afflicted. Hair loss is currently experienced by more than 80 million people worldwide, which encompass 50 million men and 30 million women. It is a problem in need of a solution. The author's interest in the causes of hair-loss related issues surfaced twenty-five years ago, when he began to experience some hair thinning. In a search for a possible solution to ameliorate his thinning hair, the author began an empirical journey of discovery. He experimented with a myriad of balding prevention recommendations, which led to the creation of Hair Loss: Options for Restoration and Reversal. 

The objective of this award-winning book is to educate the consuming public about the effectiveness of the many available hair-loss treatment and restoration modalities. It is an important, comprehensive, and valuable tool for both men and women who are afflicted with hair-loss problems. It provides the reader with a historical perspective regarding hair-loss, as well as its causes, treatments, and promising future trends. In fact, we are living in a very exciting and promising time for hair-loss research.

Light based medicine is painless and heals without side effects that are worse than the disease being treated. What if you can get accurate diagnosis of many diseases with an MRI, CT scanner or Ultra-sound usually with minimal or no side effects? What if you can improve your eyesight with phototherapy with no side effects? What if you discover that there was a cancer cure that worked since its discovery in the summer of 1934 at the first cancer clinic using Royal Raymond Rife’s technology? What if you discover why this treatment is available in Germany but is restricted to animals in the United States?
The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection in the Medicine of Light is the second e-Book and Audio Book in the Called into Life by the Light Series of five e-Books and Audio Books.
Part One is a detailed expansion of Chapter IV: The Medicine of Light from the 2009 print book Called into Life by the Light, which was suppressed in April 2013.
Part Two is the script of the one hour conversation I had with David Tumey on June 6, 2012. We discussed David’s part in rediscovering Royal R. Rife’s Ray Tube, reconstructing Rife’s 1950’s instrument, and shortening the time factor in producing the correct frequency, MOR (Mortal Oscillatory Rate) which would devitalize (destroy) a particular cancer. The reader/listener will also read or hear of David’s continuing efforts in this area as of July 21, 2013 when he updated parts of the June 6, 2012 conversation.
Part Three is about Royal R. Rife, The timeline of his life, his Beam Ray Instrument, Universal Microscope, and BX, The Cancer Causing Microbe.

What happened that changed the priest--the revered healer of antiquity--into a person of science? How was the modern doctor made?

Physician is Rajeev Kurapati's earnest attempt to answer this question and others central to the practice of medicine. For instance, how have the advances of medical technology influenced society's perception of death? How do physicians balance thinking with feeling when dealing with critically ill patients? How do we meet the needs of patients seeking a personal connection to their doctor in what may seem to be an emotionally deficient medical landscape? Is it possible to overcome some of the compromises we've had to make along the way? What is the promise of modern medicine and its limitations? And notably--as medical care becomes more and more digitized and automated, will the medical degree--a universal badge of respectability--continue to hold value?


Dr. Kurapati, a practicing hospital physician, succeeds in gracefully exploring the depths of what it really means to be a doctor--and a patient--at this time in our human history, and his blueprint for building a stronger future of healthcare is an important and valuable one.
