Bubbles

Lately we have read reviews from two books writing about the bubbles.

First bubble - Greenspan's Bubbles - The Age of Ignorance at the Federal Reserve
by William Fleckenstein and Fred Sheehan

Financial Journalist William Fleckenstein studies the record of Alan Greenspan,Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006.
Between 1937 to 1987, there were no bubbles, but Greenspan helped to create two bubbles in ten years - in stocks and then in real estate - by holding interest rates too low, punishing savers. He helped to make the American people worse off by redistributing wealth to the rich, the bubbles' boosters and sponsors.

Second bubble - The Great Housing Bubble:- Why did house price fall?
by Lawrence Roberts

The book is a detailed analysis of the psychological & mechanical causes of the biggest rally, and subsequent fall of housing price ever recorded.
This book examines the causes of the breathtaking rise in prices and the catastrohic fall that ensued to answer the question on every home owners' mind.
House price to income ratios, price to rent ratios and other detailed in the book showed how far out of line prices had become by 2006. A full year before house prices started to crash, he was predicting it, and many of the crash's details.

Anatomy of an Illness

The laughter is the most powerful medicine. Through trust,hope, humor and many months of treatment the patient with incurable disease was cured.

Anatomy of an illness is an emotional and poignant true story, which not only educates the readers, but also touches their heart.

The author, Norman Cousins, a magazine editor was diagnosed with the crippling and incurable spinal illness. He decided to take control of his own illness and treatment. He discovered that laughter gave him some relief from the pain. He soon checked out of hospital and into a hotel room where he could watch funny movies and comedy films whenever he wanted to. Away from the clinical environment his condition started to improve. He was lucky enough to win the support of his doctor, who helped him to start taking mega does of vitamin C against conventional wisdom.
The combination of laughter and vitamin C helped to fight off a disease which was considered irreversible.

In fact, the author was reluctant to write about it for many years because he was fearful of creating false hopes in others who were similarly afflicted.

Raw Foods- Enzyme Nutrition

Enzyme Nutrition - by Dr Edward Howell

It is the first scientific attempt to prove the necessity of RAW FOODS in human nutrition.

In it, Dr Howell tells us what enzymes are, how they keep us alive, and the consequences of the present enzyme-deficient diet.

The way and the food we eat have placed severe strains on the body ability to absorb the nutrients in them. Dr Howell leads you through the implications of too few enzymes being absorbed as part of our food, the resultant effects on the immune and other systems in the body and the dietary adaptations to remedy this.

It seems that we inherit a certain enzymes potential at birth. This limited supply of activity factors or life force must last us a life time. The faster you use up your suppl of enzyme activity, the quicker you will run out. Experiment shown that, regardless of the species, the faster the metabolic rate, the shorter the life span.
