The Sacred Disease
The Sacred Disease
Hippocrates
¥40.79
It is thus with regard to the disease called Sacred: it appears to me to be nowise more divine nor more sacred than other diseases, but has a natural cause from the originates like other affections. Men regard its nature and cause as divine from ignorance and wonder, because it is not at all like to other diseases. And this notion of its divinity is kept up by their inability to comprehend it, and the simplicity of the mode by which it is cured, for men are freed from it by purifications and incantations. But if it is reckoned divine because it is wonderful, instead of one there are many diseases which would be sacred; for, as I will show, there are others no less wonderful and prodigious, which nobody imagines to be sacred.

The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla: Complete & Illustrated
The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla: Complete & Illustrated
Thomas Commerford Martin
¥28.61
The electrical problems of the present day lie largely in the economical transmission of power and in the radical improvement of the means and methods of illumination. To many workers and thinkers in the domain of electrical invention, the apparatus and devices that are familiar, appear cumbrous and wasteful, and subject to severe limitations. They believe that the principles of current generation must be changed, the area of current supply be enlarged, and the appliances used by the consumer be at once cheapened and simplified. The brilliant successes of the past justify them in every expectancy of still more generous fruition.??The present volume is a simple record of the pioneer work done in such departments up to date, by Mr. Nikola Tesla, in whom the world has already recognized one of the foremost of modern electrical in-vestigators and inventors. No attempt whatever has been made here to emphasize the importance of his researches and discoveries. ??Great ideas and real inventions win their own way, determining their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the conviction that Mr. Tesla is blazing a path that electrical development must follow for many years to come, the compiler has endeavored to bring together all that bears the impress of Mr. Tesla's genius, and is worthy of preservation. Aside from its value as showing the scope of his inventions, this volume may be of service as indicating the range of his thought. There is intellectual profit in studying the push and play of a vigorous and original mind.?

Medicina modern? a f?cut progrese imense. Cu toate acestea, nu a reu?it s? ?nving? cancerul, boala nemiloas? care face milioane de victime ?n fiecare an, la nivel mondial. ?i totu?i, dr. Max Gerson (1881-1959) ne-a oferit o raz? de speran??, prin terapia alternativ? care ?i poart? numele. ?n 1958, el a fost primul medic din lume care a spus despre cancer c? ar fi cauzat de mai mul?i factori independen?i. Dintre cei 49 de astfel de factori identifica?i p?n? ?n prezent (deficien?ele de nutri?ie, radia?iile de diverse tipuri, ingerarea aditivilor alimentari, stresul cronic, consumul de tutun ?i de alcool etc.), ?n mod surprinz?tor, alimentele toxice fac cel mai mare r?u. Peste 70% dintre tumorile maligne sunt cauzate, ?ntr-un fel sau altul, de ceea ce m?nc?m. Tocmai de aceea, Terapia Gerson are la baz? o diet? care include fructe ?i legume proaspete, cultivate organic, ?i 13 pahare de sucuri proaspete pe zi, la intervale fixe. Dup? 70 de ani de la apari?ia terapiei, timp ?n care mii de pacien?i au fost trata?i cu succes, fiica dr. Gerson, Charlotte, ea ?ns??i terapeut ?n medicina alternativ?, ?mpreun? cu dr. Morton Walker ofer? ?i mai multe informa?ii despre efectele puternice de vindecare ale fructelor ?i legumelor organice. Afl?: cum s? ?nvingi cancerul schimb?nd chimia organismului;cum s? prepari sucuri prin tehnici speciale pentru a le maximiza puterea de vindecare;cum s? scapi de alergii, obezitate, hipertensiune, SIDA, lupus ?i alte boli;ce suplimente ?nt?resc sistemul imunitar.

Se spune c? ?nceputurile pot fi uneori ca o cea?? de nep?truns. A?a este ?i cazul acestei pove?ti, care ?ncepe cu apari?ia unei noi specii, probabil ?n urm? cu dou? mii de ani. Specia nu are ?nc? un nume – nimic nu are ?nc? unul – dar are capacitatea de a numi lucruri.Asemenea oric?rei alte noi specii, starea acesteia este fragil?. Num?rul membrilor s?i este mic, iar teritoriul pe care ?l ocup? este redus la o bucat? din estul Africii. Popula?ia sa cre?te treptat, dar apoi, destul de probabil, aceasta se diminueaz? din nou – unii ar spune c? asta se ?nt?mpl? ?ntr-un mod aproape fatal – ajung?nd la doar c?teva mii de perechi.Membrii speciei nu sunt neap?rat foarte rapizi sau puternici sau fertili. Ei sunt ?ns? nemaipomenit de descurc?re?i. Progresiv, ei ?ncep s? exploreze teritorii cu diferite climate, diferi?i pr?d?tori ?i diferite tipuri de v?nat. Nici una dintre constr?ngerile aduse de habitat sau de geografia locului nu pare s? ?i afecteze prea tare.

Not many years ago the group Insecta was held even by Zoologists to include numberless small creatures—centipedes, spiders, mites, etc.—which further study has shown to present essential differences of structure, and in popular language any fairly minute animal is still an insect, just as any insect is popularly a “fly”—or, in the United States, a “bug.” Scientifically the use of the term Insect is now much restricted, though still extensive enough in all conscience, since it includes many more than a quarter of a million known species. Zoologists recognise a large group of animals characterised by having no internal skeleton but a more or less firm external coating of a peculiar substance called chitin, often strengthened by calcareous deposits, which necessitates the presence of joints in their bodies, and especially in their limbs if they are to move freely, just as medieval suits of armour required to be jointed. These are the Arthropoda. One subdivision of this group consists of aquatic animals, breathing by gills, and known as Crustacea. Crabs, lobsters, shrimps and “water-fleas” are familiar examples, and with the exception of the so-called land-crabs the only Crustaceans habitually found on land are wood-lice. The other Arthropoda are air-breathing, and since their characteristic breathing organs are branching tubes known as tracheae, the term Tracheata is sometimes used to include them all. They fall naturally into three divisions, the Myriapoda, the Insecta and the Arachnida, and it is in this last-named division that we shall find the spiders. The Myriapoda are the centipedes and millipedes, and having said this we may dismiss them, for insects and arachnids are strictly limited as to legs; and no myriapod can ever be mistaken for a spider. The Arachnida are so varied in structure that it is not easy to give characteristics common to them all, and to any general statement there are bound to be exceptions, but for practical purposes it may be said that while an insect, when mature, has only six legs, and a pair of feelers or antennae of quite different structure, Arachnids have normally eight legs, and their feeling organs are not antennae but leg-like “pedipalps.”
On Injuries of the Head
On Injuries of the Head
Hippocrates
¥40.79
Men's heads are by no means all like to one another, nor are the sutures of the head of all men constructed in the same form. Thus, whoever has a prominence in the anterior part of the head (by prominence is meant the round protuberant part of the bone which projects beyond the rest of it), in him the sutures of the head take the form of the Greek letter tau, T; for the head has the shorter line running transverse before the prominence, while the other line runs through the middle of the head, all the way to the neck.
Ulcers
Ulcers
Hippocrates
¥40.79
We must avoid wetting all sorts of ulcers except with wine, unless the ulcer be situated in a joint. For, the dry is nearer to the sound, and the wet to the unsound, since an ulcer is wet, but a sound part is dry. And it is better to leave the part without a bandage unless a cataplasm be applied. Neither do certain ulcers admit of cataplasms, and this is the case with the recent rather than the old, and with those situated in joints.

This is a small book on a large subject: What is special about human beings? Hamlet mused, 'What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how like a god!' but went on to speak of 'this quintessence of dust'. Helen Oppenheimer prefers to start with the dust and move to the glory: we really are animals - and from these animals has come Shakespeare. People are indeed 'miserable sinners' - and also magnificent creatures.The author does not disguise that she is a Christian theologian whose subject is ethics, but she writes equally for non-Christians. Her invitation to the reader is: Here is a way of looking at things that I find exciting and convincing - I hope you do too.
