There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program


Gabriel Cousens - 2008
    Conventional wisdom calls it incurable, but renowned Dr. Gabriel Cousens counters that claim with this breakthrough book. There Is a Cure for Diabetes lays out a three-week plan for reversing the negative genetic expression of diabetes to a physiology of health and well-being. Dr. Cousens’s method, widely tested at his famous Tree of Life centers, is to reset the DNA through green juice fasting and a 100% organic, nutrient-dense, vegan, low-glycemic, low-insulin-scoring, and high-mineral diet of living foods in the first twenty-one days. Both practical and inspirational, the book explains how to abandon the widespread “culture of death”–symbolized by addictive junk food–that fosters diabetes in favor of a more natural, nurturing approach. The program renders insulin and related medicines unnecessary within four days as the blood sugar drops to normal levels; and the diabetic shifts into a non-diabetic physiology within two weeks. The third week focuses on live-food preparation, featuring 100 delicious raw recipes. Dr. Cousens emphasizes regular consultations, monitoring blood chemistries, and emotional support, and includes a one-year support program to help maintain a diabetes-free life.

Lanie Stevens - 2013
    You don't need to read and memorize a book that is 200 pages long for it to be effective. You don’t need to dress in sexy lingerie, be a femme fatale or force yourself to love and participate in shooting pool or hunting wild animals to win or keep your man's affection. You don’t need to change who and what you are to attract a man, keep a man or get him to change. ALL you need is this short instructional guide with my “secret technique” to have him eating out of the palm of your hand ANYTIME you want. Unlike most “self help” books that give you a laundry list of ways you can change to “attract” and keep a man this book will give you a technique that is simple, fast and powerful. It is not a “flirting” technique or a kinky “sexual” position…it is an amazing technique that will literally allow you to control your man’s behavior. That’s right…control his behavior and therefore his thoughts, actions and deeds. Anytime you want! I know this sound too good to be true but it is true. I assure you that there is no way you can understand how powerful this technique is until you try it and then you will be amazed at how fast it works. It is truly magic! This “secret technique” is so powerful that I do not want ANY men to ever read this book! If I could prevent men from buying or reading this book I would do it in a heartbeat. There are certain secrets that women should never divulge to men and this is one of the most powerful. I have used this technique for years and have seen it work in a matter of minutes. I used it on my ex-boyfriend John and if it can work on a stubborn, non-believing, narcissist like him it will work on ANY MAN. A friend used it on her boyfriend to get him to tell her the truth and all he kept saying was "I don't know why I am telling you all the things that I am telling you!" He meant it! He had no control over what he was doing because she controlled his actions. I love books like "Why Men Love Bitches" and "The Power of Pussy" but this book will give you a technique that is unique and powerful....a technique you can use any time, any place and on any one. Go ahead, "Pussy Whip" your man and have him love every minute of it! Lanie Stevens is also the author of: Lustful Lanie Book One Lustful Lanie Book Two Lustful Lanie Book Three

Functional Behavioral Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment: A Complete System for Education and Mental Health Settings


Ennio Cipani - 2007
    I've examined every one and Cipani's is clearly the best. The assessment part is great, and I particularly like the protocol format for interventions. Cipani's text nicely fills a big gap between research and application. Were I teaching a seminar to clinicians, I think the text would be perfect. -- Brian A. Iwata, PhD, University of FloridaProfessionals who work in mental health and educational settings are frequently faced with clients (children, adolescents, adults) who engage in serious problem behaviors. Such behaviors often impact the client's welfare and ability to live, work, and be educated in mainstream environments. Children and adolescents who manifest these behaviors are particularly vulnerable to these disruptions, which can have a far-reaching impact on their development and future prospects.This practical book, written both for clinician/educators and high-level students, creates a function-based behavioral diagnostic classification system, the first of its kind, as well as treatment protocols that fit such a diagnostic system. Heavily practitioner-oriented, the book will address the full range of behaviors - ranging from aggression, self-injury, stereotypic behavior (repetitive body movements), tantrums, and non-compliance - with real life and hypothetical cases to help clinicians think through the full range of treatment options. Unique in moving beyond functional assessment to assessment diagnosis and treatment, this book will be highly useful for mental health clinicians, students of Advanced Behavior Analysis, and special education practitioners among others.Professor Cipani has also prepared extensive ancillary material for use in teaching this book and will make it available to anyone who has adopted it for course use. Instructors who have adopted the title may inquire of Professor Cipani at ennioc26@hotmail.com
