Homeopath Jerry M. Kantor shares his new book, The Emotional Roots of Chronic Illness: Homeopathy for Existential Stress. Jerry M. Kantor's book explores the link between emotions and physical health. It presents diagnostic insight, successful case studies, and specific homeopathic remedies that demonstrate the connection between the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the five classical miasms of homeopathy. The book also correlates these miasms with core existential quandaries.

Kantor sheds light on the crucial connection between emotions and their physical impact on the body. He provides readers with diagnostic insights, case studies, and effective homeopathic remedies that can help mitigate the harmful effects of emotional imbalances. Kantor also draws parallels between the five classical miasms and the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He describes how each inborn foundational emotion serves as a tool designed to solve stress-related problems, but overuse of any one tool can lead to self-sabotaging imbalances. By identifying the default emotional response and accompanying physical symptoms, Kantor explains how one can determine the core existential stress or hereditary pattern underlying a chronic illness. The author then presents homeopathic remedies to alleviate the impact of specific existential quandaries for each of the five classical miasms and their associated physical and emotional conditions.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
