Arming the Immune System

About Arming the Immune System

Learn why we should allow our bodies to run their intelligent health maintenance programs, including those of the immune system. As they are more effective at eliminating invaders than any military on earth. You will discover that fever is an essential part of the immune response, and is found throughout the animal kingdom. I’m talking hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, lizards, gators, crabs, scorpions, grasshoppers, lobsters, beetles, leeches, snakes, snails, mice, monkeys, fish, ferrets, baboons, and even my beloved bees.

Learn how hard our bodies are working just to maintain our body temperature, and what happens when our internal thermostat intelligently and purposefully shifts up the heat. The fever response has developed over a 400 million year history, slowly perfecting its orchestral brilliance over that time. I’ll share stories of bees who make an effort to fever together, lizards who lounge around trying to get a fever, kids who’ve had chickenpox longer than their peers because they took medicine to stop their fever, and, incredibly, people whose cancer completely disappeared after a fever.

About AVENGING ANGEL: Love and Death in Old Brooklyn by Charles S. Isaacs

FREE on Kindle: January 21-24, 2022

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Cassandra Monroe vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.

Surrounded by white men one night, she’s rescued by Mike Borelli, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Pirate Girl Falls Through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman

About Pirate Girl Falls Through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman

In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit collage, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon.
Wren Godfrey told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.

HEIMAT by Pau Marzell

HEIMAT by Pau Marzell

Heimat is the story of four young men who left Germany in 1929 for the United States to find a better future and leave Germany’s dismal post-World War One economy and humiliation of defeat behind. Matthias, a baker, also went to avoid an intolerable family situation. Josef, a watchmaker, left on a whim to join Matthias. Edo, a tailor, left to escape government-sanctioned anti-Semitism and to prepare for his family’s emigration to follow. And, Feliks, an ethnic Polish, teenager because his family’s farm could not support him. Each hoped to return someday as an American citizen and a shining example of American success.
On the way to the TS Bremen for its maiden voyage to America from Bremerhaven, their plans began changing when they saved an American diplomat‘s life from the tracks in Berlin’s Bahnhof. Their heroic act bonded them and the diplomat in a friendship that sustained them through broken promises, misconceptions of the American dream, the Great Depression, Prohibition, assimilation into American culture, and World War Two.
Before the outbreak of the war, Matthias’s commitment to his plan wavered as letters from his mother, girlfriend, sisters, and others urged him to return to Germany as the Nazi regime improved Germany’s economy and raised its national pride. However, the war severed contact with his family for five years and sent him and his friends on separate paths. To a shipyard to build ships to carry the means to destroy Germany and their Heimat. Into the US Army to fight in the Pacific after surviving the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Conscription into Germany’s Wehrmacht to invade France, Russia and fight in the Battle of the Bulge against American forces. And the Nuremberg trials to bring Nazi war criminals to justice.

Arendelle Shield— Beginning of an End

About Arendelle Shield— Beginning of an End

The life of Leaders and those who follow where life has said to have been an endless mystery all through time.

Even in their youth, Anne and James knew their lives would not be of an Earthly norm like that of so many others around them. Left orphaned at the mere age of ten after his parents perished in a car crash, James quickly found himself desperate to survive the harsh winter in the streets of New York City, but even where struggle would try its best to plague him, fate would be there to choose a different path —one far different to anything his Earthly world was accustomed to. Near starving and forced to thievery, the normality of an orphaned childhood would be quick to change by the rescue of Captain Jonathan Collins and Lyra Rishall who both saw the boy for who he really was and would hopefully become . . .
And in the time of defining who they really are decades later, James and his beloved Anne were to reawaken their past and take part in the protection of worlds, the defense against a Universal Imbalance and the understanding of how the worlds, like that of Earth, were about to experience something that would alter nearly every aspect of life. And where War progresses, the Great Battle is imminent where magic, the skill of FBI, travel to other worlds, family and friendship need only prevail in the threat of coming darkness.

Be, oh be where the very mystery upon her past lurks within the shadows of murder and magic, that few Earthials will ever understand as well as Anne Bailey Collins.
