The author Phyllis Speight remembers having pneumonia when she was four years old, and suffering chest colds for many years before being introduced to homeopathic treatment, long-standing effective remedies.In Coughs & Wheezes she guides us through the details of forty of the most important remedies for respiratory troubles, chest colds, coughs, bronchitis and asthma. In addition the book contains instructions on how to find the correct remedy, potency and dosage, make homeopathic treatment accessible for everyone.
This small book has been written to enable those with no knowledge of homoeopathy to apply the remedies in emergencies and injuries.These are safe and have no side effects and if well chosen to match the patient's symptoms they can produce amazing results.The emergencies are listed in alphabetical order and I have tried to include anything that can develop quickly and needs prompt attention. In some cases a doctor should be called but, even so, help may be given pending his arrival.
At the end of any lecture on homoeopathy there are numerous questions which often prove of great interest and help to those seeking an understanding of the subject.The questions and answers given here are a selection of the most important from a series of lectures given by my wife.Information in this form is easy to absorb and it should prove of value to those who are unable, or unwilling, to make study of the text books which give information in great detail but do not provide all the answers!
In this book Speight helps people find another way of dealing with anxieties, grief, stress and many conditions for which tranquillising drugs are so often prescribed.There is little doubt that addiction to tranquillising drugs has caused considerable concern amongst sufferers. This booklet will bring new hope and enable many to obtain relief by means of remedies that deal with the cause of the trouble and thus eliminate the need for drug therapy.
Definitely not for those of you who are contemplating taking on Mount Everest or the Amazon, but this simple guide is the most sensible thing to pack for a business trip or holiday.With a small, basic homoeopathic kit and a copy of this guide you can be reasonably sure that you will be safe from an acute attack of ill-health.Various drugs are available to combat troubles caused by travel but in the majority of cases homoeopathic remedies are much more effective. Their additional advantage is that they have no side effects whatsoever.Full instructions, dosages and potencies are given.

At a time when it's never been more difficult to get from twelve to twenty in one sane, self-confident piece, this book provides explanations, straightforward advice and strategies, even a script, to help parents cope with their daughters' body image problems. This is the truly practical book, Stephanie Pierson looked for in vain when her own daughter developed anorexia and body image problems. Written with Phyllis Cohen, a psychotherapist with 30 years of experience of adolescent problems, there are chapters on why daughters have negative body images and how mothers can prevent this, staying connected with your daughter, communicating, daughter's viewpoint, sex, developing a realistic sense of self, problems of coloured teenagers, health and nutrition. It provides the warning signs of depression: changes in sleep patterns, appetite, eating patterns, lethargy, social withdrawal, irritability; and the danger signs: suicidal thoughts, drug or alcohol use, self-mutilation, anorexia and bulimia.

The stories collected in this volume reflect the rich tradition of medieval Jain storytelling between the seventh and fifteenth centuries, from simple folk tales and lives of famous monks to sophisticated narratives of rebirth. They describe they ways in which a path to peace and bliss can be found, either by renouncing the world or by following Jain ethics of non-violence, honesty, moderation and fidelity. Here are stories depicting the painful consequences when a loved one chooses life as a monk, the triumph of Jain women who win over their husbands to their religion, or the rewards of a simple act of piety. The volume ends with an account of vice and virtue, which depict the thieving and destructive passions lurking in the forest of life, ready to rob the unsuspecting traveller of reason and virtue.
Mary Moody Emerson and the Origins of Transcendentalism
Phyllis Cole
Oxford University Press Inc
1998
sidottu
Mary Moody Emerson has long been a New England legend, the "eccentric Calvinist aunt" of Ralph Waldo Emerson, wearing a death-shroud as her daily garment. This exciting new study, based on the first reading of all her known letters and diaries, reveals a complex human voice and powerful forerunner of American Transcendentalism. From the years of her famous nephew's infancy, in both private and published writings, she celebrated independence, solitude in nature, and inward communion with God. Mary Moody Emerson inherited both resources and constraints from her family, a lineage of Massachusetts ministers who had earlier practiced spiritual awakening and political resistance against England. Cole discovers a previously unexamined Emerson tradition of fervent piety in the ancestors' own writing and Mary's preservation of their memory. She also examines the position of a woman in this patriarchal family. Barred from the pulpit and university by her sex, she also refused marriage to become a reader, writer, and religious seeker. Cole's biography explores this reading and writing as both a woman's vocation and a gift to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Helping to raise her nephews after their father's death, Mary Moody Emerson urged Waldo the college student to seek solitude in nature and become a divine poet. Cole's pioneering study, tracing crucial lines of influence from Mary Emerson's heretofore unknown texts to her nephew's major works, establishes a fresh and vital source for a central American literary tradition.
In spite of society's wish to protect and insulate children from death, the experience of loss is unavoidable and there is surprisingly little guidance on how to help children cope with grief and bereavement. Never Too Young to Know: Death in Children's Lives is the first book to bring together diverse fields of study, offering a practical as well as multifaceted theoretical approach to how children cope with death. Using stories of children's own experiences supported by data from a large research study, Silverman explains the wide range of effects of loss upon children and the challenges they face as they grieve. Silverman presents grief as a normal part of the life cycle which results not only in pain and sadness but also in change and growth. She further explains that children can and do cope effectively with loss and the changes it brings as long as they are taught to understand that death is a part of life and that they will be included appropriately in the family drama. Never Too Young To Know: Death in Children's Lives is divided into three parts. The first section includes an overview and theoretical framework that examines the social, historical, developmental, and familial forces that frame and focus childrens lives as they experience loss. The second section offers a detailed analysis of how children experience mourning different types of death including the death of siblings, parents, and friends, and death due to illness, suicide, accidents, and violence. The final section includes an accessible guide to helping children cope with grief, emphasizing the importance and the necessity of social support as children learn to adapt to their new lives. Never Too Young To Know: Death in Children's Lives is not only ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students learning about children but it is also useful for courses on death and dying and the family. It is also an invaluable book for mental health practitioners, clergy, school teachers, nurses, pediatricians, as well as the general reader interested in learning how to deal with death in children's lives.
