About the Book If you love your stricken one, this is your Bible. said Denzel Koh of Brisbane, Australia after he healed his daughter's cancer using the information in a previous edition of this book. A cancer diagnosis always causes fear. All of us have seen relatives and friends destroyed by conventional cancer treatment. Now, thanks to books like this one and the Internet, you can quickly learn what you need to know. You can heal the cancer using natural, non-toxic substances that work. What you need is a guide to cut through the overwhelming jungle of information. This book provides that guide. The information in it has been refined over twelve years using feedback from real cancer survivors about what worked for them. Bill Henderson, one of the authors, has counseled about 4,000 cancer patients by phone and video in 64 countries. At least 3,000 of them have recovered using his information. He is not a medical professional. He is a reporter furnishing you with information that consists of what he would do if he were you or your loved one. His coaching is available to you after you have read this book, if you need it. The co-author is Dr. Carlos Garcia, a formally trained M.D. who has broken out of that mold and trained himself to be a well-informed holistic physician. His Utopia Wellness clinic in Oldsmar, Florida regularly helps Stage IV cancer patients heal themselves. Bill Henderson has published 165 free newsletters on natural cancer treatment to 38,000 subscribers all over the world, starting in 1999. The information in these newsletters has now been incorporated into this, his third book. The book is up-to-date, specific and accurate. Bill and Dr. Garcia inform you of over 140 web sites and dozens of other books and newsletters you can use to expand your knowledge of natural cancer treatment. The self-treatments they recommend are harmless enough that you can start them immediately, without more research, if you like. They do not interfere with conventional cancer therapy, if that is your choice. In fact, they offset most of the side effects of that treatment. Cancer is not a disease, says Bill. It is a reaction to what your body has experienced. Reverse those causes and the cancer goes away. Continue what you did to reverse it and it stays away. Bill explains that there are four common characteristics of all cancers. These have been known since the 1920's: 1. Low oxygen uptake by the cells. 2. A weak immune system. 3. Toxins -- usually caused by diet and dental work. 4. Acidity -- again, usually caused by diet, as well as stress and dental work. Bill Henderson's and Dr. Garcia's recommended regimen tracks with the knowledge for which Otto Warburg, a famous German doctor and researcher, won a Nobel Prize in 1931. He described the cancer cell and stressed the need to reverse the above four characteristics of the cancer in order to heal it. None of these are addressed by conventional cancer treatment. Bill's mission to help cancer patients heal started with his experience with his former wife, Marjorie. Her ovarian cancer was treated with conventional cancer treatment from 1990 to 1994, when she died. Bill is convinced that the treatment killed her. He wants to help as many people as possible avoid her fate. Dr. Garcia's mission is to help cancer patients heal themselves starting in a controlled clinical environment and continuing at home. He has been doing this successfully for 15 years.
Do women generally categorize you as a nice guy
Do they really now . . .
Okay, let me ask you something.
Is that nice guy tag helping to improve your social life, love life and/or sex life
99.9% chance, I doubt it.
Many women SAY they want a nice guy, but realistically ... don't believe the hype.
Women want a man who stimulates them ...
Intellectually . . .
Emotionally . . .
Sexually.
The #1 non-physical characteristic that enhances your sex appeal with a woman is a 'fearless' sense of self-confidence & self-assurance as well as straightforward honesty.
This is exactly what the principles of Mode One Behavior provide you with.
When you're afraid of being criticized by women, disliked by women, rejected by women, and/or indefinitely ignored by women ... guess what You will experience all of those miserable responses from women. Fear is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you 'fear' something, that means, subconsciously, you don't want it to happen, but you fully EXPECT it to happen.
What many men don't consciously realize is, many women will pretend to have one set of desires, interests, and intentions, when in reality, they may have a totally different set of desires, interests, and intentions.
Let's say you were in the company of a woman who pretended to only be interested in a serious, long-term, monogamous relationship, but in reality, she really wanted to engage in casual sex. How would you know the difference? If you were in the company of a woman who pretended to be sexually conservative and/or prudish, but in reality, was really, really erotically uninhibited and kinky, how would you know the difference? If you were in the company of a woman who wanted nothing more than to manipulate you, waste your time, and get you to spend money 'wining & dining' them, but they were pretending to have a genuine interest in you, how would you know the difference?
MODE ONE explains how you will almost immediately be able to distinguish the difference between genuine, non-manipulative women, and the more phony, manipulative, duplicitous type women.
Rejection by women is not your #1 enemy.
Subjective criticisms and/or opinionated insults are not your #1 enemy.
Wasting TIME and MONEY pursuing women who are not genuinely interested in you is your true #1 enemy.
What are you waiting for The paperback version and E-Book version of my book, Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking can be purchased RIGHT NOW. (And if you're a woman reading this ... many of those who have already read the E-Book version have been women Women can exhibit Mode One Behavior to their benefit as well).

Foreword by Barbara Bush.
From January 1986 until March 1994, Chris Emery was part of one of the most unique services in the U.S. government--an usher in the White House.
For more than 200 years, a small office has operated on the State Floor of the White House Executive Residence. Known as the Usher's Office, whose mission is to accommodate the personal needs of the first family, and to make the White House feel like a home. The Usher's Office is the managing office of the Executive Residence and its staff of 90-plus. The staff consists of butlers, carpenters, grounds personnel, electricians, painters, plumbers, florists, maids, housemen, cooks, chefs, storekeepers, curators, calligraphers, doormen, and administrative support.
Ushers work closely with the first family, senior staff, Social Office, Press Office, Secret Service Agency, and military leaders to carry out White House functions: luncheons, dinners, teas, receptions, meetings, conferences, and more.
Chris Emery was only the 18th White House Usher since 1891, and had the honor and privilege to serve presidential families for three years during the Reagan administration, four years for President H. W. Bush, and 14 months under President Clinton. His vignettes recreate intimate White House happenings from an insider's viewpoint.
Chris Emery was the only White House Usher to be terminated in the 20th century. Turn the pages to find out which first lady fired him...
With his book, White House Usher: Stories from the Inside, former usher Chris Emery gives his readers a peek inside what happens upstairs at the White House. Chris' anecdotes tell a rich story of how America's house really is the First Families' home. I loved my trip down memory lane.

The Jeshua Channelings are a series of spiritual messages about the transformation of consciousness in the present era. Humanity is growing towards a heart-based consciousness, acknowledging the oneness of all that lives and letting go of fear-based ways of thinking and living.
As you evolve into this new level of consciousness, a deep inner transformation takes place. Jeshua's channelings seek to support you in this process, offering guidance, inspiration and a clear perspective on where you are going.
Jeshua is the Aramaic name for Jesus. He prefers this name, as it better conveys his humanness and kinship with us. In these channelings, Jeshua presents himself as our brother and friend, who knows about the hardships of human existence and who wishes to lighten our burdens by sending us messages of love and hope.
Jeshua's messages shed light on our soul history and destination and they also deal with everyday issues such as relationships, health, work, and more. They are written in a clear and accessible language.
Pure O: The Invisible Side of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder follows Chrissie Hodges, a typical eight year old whose life changed drastically with the onset of symptoms from Pure OCD.
Overwhelmed with confusion about her obsessions, Chrissie developed a delusion that God was punishing her with bad thoughts and behaviors because she had done something sinful.
Outwardly, Chrissie was an image of perfection. She was smart, popular, athletic, and devoutly religious. On the inside, she was riddled with fear of offending God, terrified of the tortuous fear of vomiting and sexual obsessions, and consumed with mental rituals she kept hidden from the world. The shame of believing she let God down and the terrifying content of her obsessions kept her from telling anyone what she was experiencing for 12 years.
At age 20, unable to maintain the fa ade of a normal life under the weight of a deep depression, Chrissie attempted suicide. Barely escaping death, Chrissie found the strength and hope to choose life over death. Her journey surviving a self-inflicted wound, treatment in a psychiatric hospital, and working toward recovery with Pure OCD was almost as difficult as the 12 years combined in the silence of the disorder.
A comprehensive description of the nature of light, electricity and gravity is provided in terms of quantum wave mechanics. Detailed models include the photon as a travelling electromagnetic wave and the electron as a closed loop standing wave formed by a confined photon. Electrons are of toroidal geometry generated by a spinning Hopf link as a result of an imbalance of electrostatic and magnetostatic energy. Electric charge is a manifestation of a slight precession characterized by the fine structure constant. The physical vacuum as a polarizable medium enables wave propagation and appears ultimately to be quantized at the Planck scale. Standing wave transformations for objects in motion are reviewed and Lorentz Doppler effects compared. The mechanism for generation of de Broglie matter waves for objects in motion is depicted including the inverse effect of induced motion of an object by synthesis of contracted moving standing waves. Gravity is viewed as a frequency synchronization interaction between coupled mass oscillators. The acceleration of gravity is described by a spectral energy density gradient. Gravitons are shown to be phase conjugate photons. The metric of curved spacetime corresponds to the electromagnetic wave front interference node metric. Hence, the gravitational field becomes quantized.
The Book of Revelation is one of the most fascinating book in the Bible. From the very first page to the very last, it literally captivates our attention and points us to a detailed description of our future destiny while here on earth.
From the very first chapter of the New Testament, Genesis is the book of the beginnings, while Revelation is known as the book of completion. The Book of Revelation is the sixty-sixth and final book of the New Testament which focuses primarily on the future and prophetic events.
This book also makes great use of vibrant and strange symbolic images: we see a lamb with seven eyes and seven horns, a bright red seven headed dragon; a horrific looking beast with seven heads and ten horns; a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and many more.
To many readers, the Book of Revelation is a closed book. More than one Bible teacher or pastor has taken a class or congregation from the Book of Matthew in the New Testament all the way through the Book of Jude, only to turn around and go right back to the Book of Matthew rather than face the strange and unusual visions, imagery, and teachings of the Book of Revelation.
In addition, this is the only book in the Bible that promises a special blessing to those who read this book, hear its' words, and also keeps it. It reveals God's plan for the future, particularly in days like ours when world conditions are so uncertain.
While there are many Christians who habe a great curiosity about the Book of Revelation, they soon find out there are a few teachers in the church who are reluctant to teach the book because of the symbolic imagery and apocalyptic language. They are afraid they will teach something that is wrong.
As a result, this truth was kept in mind when the Teacher's Guide For The Book Of Revelation was written, so that any person who reads this book, be it a lay-person, baby Christian, teacher or a pastor, will come away from this study with a much clearer understanding of the overall message of the Book of Revelation.
As we study this book together, I want to assure you that there is one thing that comes through loud and clear: in the first few paragraphs, Revelation identifies it's source; this book is a Revelation of Jesus Christ. This statement alone asserts that Jesus Christ gave this Revelation, or unveiling of himself, and about himself, to reveal His full identity to all believers.
Each chapter of this study guide is paired alongside scripture, using a verse by verse analysis. This guide gives a clear millennial scenario of understanding the signs that bring us to the end of the world on this Earth; a Rapture; the Antichrist; Satan and the False Prophet.
It also shoes us a period of tribulation; God's judgement on a sinful world, the end of the battle of Armageddon; and a one-thousand year reign of living, loving, and worshipping with Jesus Christ in the New Heaven and the New Earth.

Direct and brutally honest, Rafa Conde debunks the myth of toxic masculinity, redefining what it is to be a 21st Century Man.
Men have lost their warrior spirit and have become soft. They have abdicated their roles and failed to lead themselves, their families and businesses. Conde is on a life mission to change this paradigm. He makes a compelling case for the modern revival of the ancient warrior codes.
This book explores the strategies and philosophies of ancient warrior cultures and their commanders. Throughout history, leaders like Marcus Aurelius, King David and King Leonidas exhibited manly courage. Their ability to influence others and to embody the warrior spirit was unquestionable.
Spartans, Samurais and Knights lived by an exemplary code of conduct and exhibited fearlessness in combat. Zen and Stoicism played vital roles in forging mental toughness and courage. Today, the influence of these mindsets are seen in successful entrepreneurs, high achievers and champion athletes.

By embodying these disciplines in your life you will emerge a stronger leader, visionary, father and husband. Essentially a 21st Century Man.
Is animal agriculture worth the cost to our planet? This thought-provoking book explores the environmental, health, and ethical issues tied to raising animals for food and offers a comprehensive look at solutions for a sustainable future.
Menu of Hope begins by dissecting the role of animal agriculture in climate change, drawing on scientific findings from the IPCC and other sources. It sheds light on why estimates of its impact vary and why this matters in addressing the crisis. The role of animal agriculture is only set to expand. Demand for meat is expected to grow by 50% or more in the next few decades. Animal agriculture already plays a major role in the climate crisis. But climate is not the only crisis caused by raising animals. Loss of biodiversity, deforestation, environmental pollutants, and pandemics are all problems exacerbated by our insatiable appetite for animal products.
In its solutions-focused chapters, Menu of Hope evaluates approaches ranging from agricultural efficiency and carbon capture to cutting-edge food technologies, major public health interventions and vegan activism. Each solution is assessed for its potential to create meaningful change.
The final chapter emphasizes activism, policy change, and the importance of collective action in tackling one of the greatest challenges of our time.
In 1973, McComb, Mississippi, emerged from a troubled era of the civil rights movement as a small town ready to move past Jim Crow laws and segregation. Young families began to settle in the southwest Mississippi community, including one such family from Oklahoma, Larry and Pat Hicks, and their two young sons, Clark and Matt. Life in the 1970s and 80s in a quaint Southern hamlet became a breeding ground for stories of wit and charm. In the early 1990s, oldest son Clark married his high school sweetheart. The newlyweds moved eighty miles east to Hattiesburg, a thriving mid-size college town where a new generation of Hicks boys were born and raised. The expanded family in the Hub City of southeast Mississippi nestled into the fabric of a rapidly changing Southern culture, where tradition and technology created a fertile environment for storytelling reminiscent of an age long ago. Part memoir, part history, the book consists of short story vignettes sure to entertain all readers, particularly those who have connections to the Magnolia State.
