Huna, Ancient Miracle Healing Practices and The Fu
Today as a national controversy rages concerning the state and form of health care in America our attention is draw the cost of health care and the role of government and corporations in providing health care services. While important this discussion leaves out the most vital aspect of dealing with illness, how do we cure, heal and prevent illness. There are a number of counter-movement each gaining public attention but none are complete and offer a fool proof way to create wither prevention or healing. Once such movement is involved the acceptance of traditional thinking about methods and concepts previously classified as "alternative medicine." Historically many healing techniques have been with us for hundreds and even thousands of years. In our book Huna, Ancient Miracle Healing Practices and The Future of Medicine we explores one of the more beneficial approaches to healing and prevention. This approach has direct applicability to alleviating both the stress-caused symptoms and afflictions of the modern world as well as those traditionally dealt with by the Western medical system. For over two thousand years practitioners of Huna, the ancient Polynesian/Hawaiian healing teachings, have successfully emphasized the prevention of illness before it begins. To the Huna master, healing the mind and spirit are equal in importance to that which we think of as traditional medical care. This is in stark contrast with the western medical practices which generally treats symptoms with medication and surgery rather than providing true healing. Our book explains the salient concepts of Huna and points the way for readers to fully understand how Huna can be used to improve the quality of their health and to help them both avoid and heal illness. The Lawrences have applied this once secret knowledge of life and healing to the modern Western medical system. With the integration of Huna and modern medicine we now have a unique, new and revolutionary healing philosophy and a way of integrating ancient psychology and spirituality into modern medical practice. In many ways this combined system parallels the new science of psychoneuroimmunobiology, integration of mind, body and spirit with modern medical practices. Even before there were hospitals or research labs, there were healers, shamans and wise men. These ancients healers were the scientist and doctors of their day, able to heal in ways which are now foreign to our present institutions. Using Huna's "secret healing principles," the Lawrences now add a whole new dimension to health care. It transforms medical treatments from simply using drugs and surgery into an integrated and complimentary process for healing the whole person. The integration of modern medicine with Huna's secret wisdom allows for healing body, mind and spirit at a level only dreamed of in recent times. The main focus of the Lawrence's book is to help you, the reader, to seamlessly add Huna and its new wisdom into your ongoing medical treatment program. At the same time, Huna principles significantly improve your ability to heal yourself. For those of you who are not ill, you can quickly learn to use Huna techniques to prevent yourself and your family members from ever becoming ill in the first place.

An Uncertain Glory : India and its Contradictions
When India became independent in 1947 after two centuries of colonial subjugation, it immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system, with multiple parties, freedom of speech and extensive political rights. The famines that had been so common in the colonial era disappeared, and steady economic growth replaced the almost complete stagnation characteristic of the long rule of the Raj. The growth of the Indian economy, which has quickened over the last three decades, became the second fastest in the world. Despite a recent dip, it is still one of the highest among nations. Maintaining rapid as well as environmentally sustainable growth is an important and achieveable goal for India. In AN UNCERTAIN GLORY, two of India's leading economists argue that the country's main problems lie elsewhere, particularly in the lack of attention paid to the essential needs of the people, especially the poor. The deep inequalities in Indian society tend to constrict public discussion in India's vibrant media to the lives and concerns of the relatively affluent.One of the biggest failures has been the very inadequate use of the public resources generated by economic growth to expand India's lagging physical and social infrastructure (in sharp contrast, for example, to what China has done): there is a continued inadequacy both of social services such as schooling, medical care and immunization, and of physical services such as the provision of safe water, electricity, drainage and sanitation. Even as India has overtaken a large number of other countries in the rate of economic growth, it has, because of these inadequacies, fallen behind many of the same countries - often very poor ones - in the progress of quality of life. Because of the importance of democracy in India, addressing these failures will require not only significant policy rethinking by the government, but also a better public understanding of the abysmal extent of social and economic deprivations. The deep inequalities in Indian society tend to constrict public discussion in India's vibrant media to the lives and concerns of the relatively affluent. Dreze and Sen argue that if there is to be more effective democratic practice, there has to be a clearer understanding of the severity of human deprivations in India. This book makes a powerful contribution to that understanding.
