| sattilaro: Far Out Nancy Weatherly Sharp, 2025-05-31 Far Out is not a book to debunk conventional ideas. But over the years I have learned about, experienced, and been impressed by a number of alternative healing techniques. Over time, I became so intrigued with things alternative that I was impelled to learn more and more about them. Even so, I have done so cautiously, never abandoning the skepticism and tough questions that were the hallmarks of my career as a reporter and writer for newspapers in Missouri, California, Washington D.C. and New York. The journey I’ve been on has ended up being enlightening, inspirational, and life changing. Despite my initial doubts, the efforts I set in motion to push back boundaries and unlock doors have brought me tremendous rewards personally. Even though not every experience I have had has been totally positive, and not everything I have read or been told has been credible, along the way I have had truly amazing experiences, made deep friendships, enjoyed countless provocative conversations, and spent hour after hour engrossed in what I have been reading or witnessing. The people I’ve come to know, either in person or through their writings, have taught me so much and enriched my life in so many ways. And for this I owe so much to so many. In sum, not only am I a happier, healthier, more peaceful, and more loving person now, but also my eyes have been opened to a whole new way of living—not to mention a whole new way of way of looking at our existence in this miraculous universe of ours. Many of the ideas and practices I have been introduced to, ones that seemed so wrong-headed in the beginning, I now accept as sound and valuable even though they often directly contradict what I grew up knowing to be the truth. Others have just added new dimensions and perspectives to the understandings I had so long ago. So, why have I put this story about my own personal journey to paper? It’s a question I’ve wrestled with myself. Certainly, writing a book was not my objective when I initially set out on my explorations, and I do sometimes wonder how what I have to say will be perceived by my more orthodox friends and readers. But people who open their minds to the vast possibilities outside the boundaries of conventional wisdom and talk seriously of such things in the here and now are sometimes taken with a grain of salt. I do hope that will not be the case with me. I see my work as both enlightening and significant. Also, I am perfectly happy with my life just the way it is without being the author of this book. Not only have I always been blessed career-wise, but also, I am in excellent health, have great friends, and am married to the world’s best husband, James Roger Sharp, a well-known American historian and author of important studies on the birth of the nation and its development in the Jacksonian period. And Roger and I have a loving family, including a son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren. It certainly was not my intention to debunk conventional ideas, most of which I am in complete agreement with anyway. Although over the years, I have learned about, experienced, and been impressed by a number of alternative healing techniques, that does not mean that I am not a fan of Western medicine as well. In fact, my own personal experience with allopathic medicine has been superb. In addition to not wanting to discredit conventional ideas, I have not written this book to sell anyone on specific alternative ideas or approaches. It is not my goal to persuade others to follow in my specific footsteps. Far from it. I see my path as mine and mine alone. Although I’ve spent more than a quarter century tirelessly exploring the multifaceted out-of-the-mainstream world, I only want to tell my story as accurately and entertainingly as possible. But it is my experience and my story. I am definitely not in any position to endorse anything I’ve learned about, experienced myself, or witnessed someone else experience. In the end, then, I have come to the conclusion that my primary motivation in writing this book is to tell a fascinating, illuminating, significant story—a story I need to share because it sheds light on our incredible, magnificent, exquisite universe with its tantalizing mysteries. As a newspaper reporter, that has been my calling: to use whatever knowledge and talents I have to investigate the world and then report back to readers what I have found—and to do so as clearly, accurately, and entertainingly as I have known how. Finally, I have to say, I would not be unhappy if reading my story were to enable at least a few readers to suspend their disbelief, open their minds to out-of-the-mainstream ideas and approaches, and then set out themselves on their own individual journeys of discovery. For those readers ready to personally dip a toe into the realm of things alternative, then, it is my hope that what I have written will serve as a useful how-to guidebook to the territory ahead. I wish them all the success in the world. Furthermore, sharing my story today seems even more timely, relevant, and maybe even urgent than when the writing of the book began. I say this after becoming aware of predictions coming from both conventional and unconventional sources about the possibility that our future could be fundamentally different than our present is and past has been. Not only are mainstream figures like former Vice President Al Gore and many scientists urgently and repeatedly warning about changes we may all soon face as a result of the ways climate change may affect our planet, but many alternative visionaries also are looking ahead to a planet unlike the one we know today. In the final analysis, I hope that my book, while offering insights and guidance to readers no matter what the future brings, turns out to be a great read. Thus, it is my desire that those who experience my journey vicariously by following in my footsteps will not only gain a far greater understanding of and appreciation for what this miraculous world of ours is all about but also enjoy the ride. And if it should turn out that the Earth’s future is one of great change, it is my wish that the holistic ideas and approaches that I’ve discovered along my path become especially empowering and valuable, as they are less dependent on 21st-century technology and more in line with the natural cycles and rhythms of our planet and the universe in which it resides. So, come with me. It's an awesome place to be. It's Far Out. |

As a national best-selling author, he has helped bring to the public’s attention the work of many cutting-edge doctors, medical researchers, and scientists. As a teacher and counselor in the use of natural healing methods, he has worked with thousands of individuals and families who were seeking to overcome serious illnesses or other life-altering crises. During the course of his work, he has witnessed and written about many “miraculous” recoveries. As inscrutable as these recoveries may have seemed, Tom began to recognize common factors among those who overcame serious illness. Based on medical research, the insightful work of others, his own work, and the experiences of patients who managed to reverse their own devastating health conditions, Tom has written an inspiring guide for those who suffer from chronic or life-threatening illness. Unexpected Recoveries is the culmination of a lifetime of work designed to offer hope, purpose, and—most important—a proactive plan. This book combines modern medical know-how, ancient healing practices, and a healing diet to provide a comprehensive and practical guidebook for physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery. It takes aim at such conditions as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, chronic pain, Crohn’s disease, degenerative bone conditions, and more. Readers are provided with a seven-step program to help them on their journey of healing, with each and every step designed to be flexible. Factors such as mental attitude, lifestyle, diet, and exercise are discussed in an informative and easy-to-read manner.

When a doctor tells a patient there is no cure, what the doctor is essentially saying is that there is no treatment proven to eliminate the condition. This doesn’t mean that healing isn’t possible. If you or a loved one is suffering from a severe illness, Unexpected Recoveries can be a powerful tool to change the course of that condition. |

| sattilaro: Health Freaks Travis A. Weisse, 2024-09-03 Travis A. Weisse tells a new history of modern diets in America that goes beyond the familiar narrative of the nation's collective failure to lose weight. By exploring how the popularity of diets grew alongside patients' frustrations with the limitations and failures of the American healthcare system in the face of chronic disease, Weisse argues that millions of Americans sought fad diets—such as the notorious Atkins program which ushered in the low-carbohydrate craze—to wrest control of their health from pessimistic doctors and lifelong pharmaceutical regimens. Drawing on novel archival sources and a wide variety of popular media, Weisse shows the lengths to which twentieth-century American dieters went to heal themselves outside the borders of orthodox medicine and the subsequent political and scientific backlash they received. Through colorful profiles of the leaders of four major diet movements, Health Freaks demonstrates that these diet gurus weren't shady snake oil salesmen preying on the vulnerable; rather, they were vocal champions for millions of frustrated Americans seeking longer, healthier lives. |

A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery — loosely defined as the spread of false “knowledge,” often accompanied by various versions of “snake oil” — is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.2022 |

| sattilaro: Time's-a-Marchin' Michael Viola, 2013-02-07 Mike Viola’s work has universal appeal, having as its subject the daily events and situations that touch the lives of people everywhere. During his long career with The Philadelphia Inquirer, he met and conquered the challenge of every assignment. In this publications, twelve categories and approximately 350 photographs are presented to give the reader insight into the scope of Mike’s work. Even in what sometimes seemed like an “ordinary” assignment became the extraordinary front page photograph in the hands (and heart) of this master photographer. The photographs in this volume were taken by staff photographer Mike Viola for The Philadelphia Inquirer from 1964 to 1988. As they sipped their morning coffee, readers were accustomed to seeing the familiar byline under a photograph that, indeed needed no byline. Whatever the subject, there was no mistaken his inimitable style. Aside from their newsworthy content, Mike’s black and white prints are perfect studies in form, contrast, mood and balance. When he was just 13 and living in rural Brazos County, Texas, Mike received a small Kodak camera. He looked through its viewfinder and clicked the shutter, but had no idea the role it would play in his life. Four years later the Navy offered him an opportunity to serve as a photographer’s striker aboard the USS Miami and the click of that small Kodak camera resounded again and again throughout a career dedicated to excellence. Mike Viola served in the Navy from 1944 to 1947. He photographed activity in the Pacific and participated in Operation Crossroads aboard the carrier USS Saidor as photographic specialist in connection with the Bikini Atomic Bomb tests in July 1946. In 1964, Mike won the Look Magazine Sports Photo Award and throughout his twenty-five years as a staff photographer with The Philadelphia Inquirer, has won numerous awards given by the Press Photographers Association of Philadelphia, The Pennsylvania Press Photographers Association, the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association, the Associated Press Managing Editors of Pennsylvania, the New Jersey Press Association, the National Headliners Awards and the Society of Professional Journalist, Sigma Delta Chi. Mike was also a member of The Inquirer staff team awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1980, for their report on the Three Mile Island accident. Mike Viola is retired and lives in Philadelphia with his wife Kitty of 62 years, and their two Pomeranians, Coco and Bindi. |

| sattilaro: Reconstructing Illness Anne Hunsaker Hawkins, 1999 Serious illness and mortality, those most universal, unavoidable, and frightening of human experiences, are the focus of this pioneering study which has been hailed as a telling and provocative commentary on our times. As modern medicine has become more scientific and dispassionate, a new literary genre has emerged: pathography, the personal narrative concerning illness, treatment, and sometimes death. Hawkins's sensitive reading of numerous pathographies highlights the assumptions, attitudes, and myths that people bring to the medical encounter. One factor emerges again and again in these case studies: the tendency in contemporary medical practice to focus primarily not on the needs of the individual who is sick but on the condition that we call disease. Pathography allows the individual person a voice-one that asserts the importance of the experiential side of illness, and thus restores the feeling, thinking, experiencing human being to the center of the medical enterprise. Recommended for medical practitioners, the clergy, caregivers, students of popular culture, and the general reader, Reconstructing Illness demonstrates that only when we hear both the doctor's and the patient's voice will we have a medicine that is truly human. |

Lerner, 1996-02-28 Written by one of the country's leading authorities on alternative and complementary cancer treatments, Choices in Healing is designed for the cancer patient or health professional who seeks a comprehensive overview of the available choices, both in treatments and in living with cancer. Choices in Healing offers valuable information and guidance for the whole life cycle of cancer—from the initial shock of diagnosis to decisions about choosing a physician and conventional therapies, selecting complementary therapies, coping with treatment, and the art of living fully with the possibility of recurrence. There are detailed explanations and evaluations of a wide range of complementary therapy programs, including spiritual and psychological approaches, nutritional therapies, physical therapies, pharmacological therapies, and traditional medicines from around the world. There are sections on prayer and other forms of spiritual healing; psychotherapy, support groups, visual imagery and hypnosis; massage, therapeutic touch, yoga, and Qi Gong; macrobiotic diet and other cancer diets; acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines; and numerous other unconventional therapies used by American cancer patients. With an unusual combination of compassion and objectivity, Michael Lerner describes his conclusions following more than a decade of study of unconventional cancer treatments in North America, Europe, India, and Japan. He also draws extensively on his work with hundreds of cancer patients who have participated in the Commonweal Cancer Help Programs, the residential support program depicted by Bill Moyers in his 1993 PBS documentary Healing and the Mind. |
| sattilaro: The Power of Your Plate Neal Barnard, 1994-12-30 The Power of Your Plate is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read concerning the detrimental effects on the body due to improper food choices. Dr. Neal D. Barnard, presedent of the physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, along with 20 health experts guide the reader through a journey geared towards better health by illuminating all sources of animal products from the plate. They help one realize how eating wisely is truly a gold mine attainable to us all. The relationship of diet and disease is viewed from different parts of the world to explain why Americans have such a high rate of cardio vascular disease, strokes, high blood pressure, cancer and more. Anyone who would like to live a full healthy life and avoid ailments that are common in America needs to read this book. It does not tell you to eat less. It explains how to eat right for the rest of your life. Unlike most diets, this is more of a plan, and following it will help insure you do not become a stastistic like most Americans eventually do. |

| sattilaro: I Used to Have Cancer James Templeton, 2019-04-09 By all standards of success, James Templeton seemed to have it all. He was a highly successful businessman, had a beautiful wife and daughter, and, only in his early thirties, had his whole life in front of him. To avoid the same fate as his father and grandfather, who both died of heart attacks at a young age, James became an avid runner—a passion that he believed helped him stay fit and healthy. Imagine his shock when, during a routine physical, his doctor noticed a mole on his body that turned out to be a melanoma—a dangerous form of skin cancer. The mole was removed immediately and James, who was diligent in his follow-up exams, appeared to be cancer-free—but only for a short while. When the cancer reappeared and had spread, on the advice of his doctor, James followed the conventional medical protocol, which included surgery and chemotherapy. He was also involved in a clinical trial. When he learned that the treatments weren’t working, James was obviously devastated. He had reached a new low point in his life, and as he lay in the hospital bed, he prayed fervently for help. As if by some miracle, help came to James in the form of three different visitors who would change the course of his life—and help direct him on a path back to health. I Used to Have Cancer is James Templeton’s memoir—an inspiring look back at his unique journey in overcoming stage 4 melanoma. James takes you with him on a trip crisscrossing America, during which he shares the various natural approaches he followed to battle his cancer—from diet and supplements to meditation and lifestyle adjustments. As his journey continued, you will see first-hand how James’ definition of success changed from making money to seeing the next sunrise. And how he continues finding success by reaching out to others to share the lessons he has learned. While this book largely focuses on the various methods James used to overcome his own cancer, it is also an inspiring story of not giving up when all other avenues of conventional medicine fail. It is about taking control of your life and finding a way back from the brink of death. It is about being able to tell your friends, “I used to have cancer.” |
