Communication Magic: Exploring the Structure and Meaning of Language
Dr. Hall demonstrates how your life can be dramatically enriched by having complete control over how you relate and interpret what you are communicating to others. In a clear and logical manner the author examines: How language affects the mindbody system, how language can perform magic-like feats in the nervous and immune systems, and how we can take charge of running our own brains.
The Raw Truth About MilkIf you knew what we know about milk...BLEEECHT! All that pasteurization, homogenization and processing is not only cooking all the nutrients right out of your favorite drink. It's also adding toxic levels of vitamin D. This fascinating book tells the whole story about milk. How it once was nature's nearly perfect food...How "raw," unprocessed milk can heal and boost your immune system ~ why you can't buy it legally in this country anymore, and what we could do to change that.
Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Human Immunology in 1997, major scientific achievements have elucidated our understanding of the complexities of the human immune system.
This second edition compiles the major breakthroughs of the past decade including dramatic increases in the number of recognized “clusters of differentiation” on the surface of leukocytes and associated cells, establishment of an entire new chemokine and chemokine receptor nomenclature system, and discovery of more than 30 “lymphokines.”
The text emphasizes clinically relevant immunological parameters, and clarifies the basic principles underlying immune system assays, as well as applications and interpretations of immune tests.
The present book series, YOUR BODY: HOW IT WORKS, is an excellent
introduction to human biology and anatomy. I hope that it will awaken
within you a lifelong interest in these subjects.

Product Description
The
Hepatitis C Virus is a major global health problem affecting more than
170 million people. HCV can eventually lead to cirrhosis, liver
failure, and cancer in many instances. This volume will include
comprehensive original papers that cover much of the past, current, and
future literature that has appeared since the identification of the
hepatitis C virus RNA genome. It will specifically deal with the
effects of various types of interferons in basic research and clinical
outcomes of HCV disease and its progression. The novelty of this
publication will be that the immunobiology of HCV and the IFN-induced
modification of the immune response will be emphasized more clearly
then it has ever been in any other publication. It will be the
immunobiology section that will help readers better understand the
clinical efficacy of Interferon treatment. It will be a valuable volume
for the student, researcher, or clinician interested in HCV
transmission, molecular virology, immune response, cellular/molecular
pathogenesis, and possibilities for developing effective new
therapeutics and vaccines.
