As a colleague and friend, I have known Rayna to be a dedicated researcher, healer, writer, and teacher who embraces a deep respect for earth awareness and the interconnections and synergy of all experiences in being within the circle of life. As an alternative to the Magic Bullet approach of pills and potions, she offers a guide for those searching for greater balance and health in their lives. I laud her courage to move us toward a more holy, holistic, and holographic way of living and being through personal transition and transformation. - Dr. Karen Kelley, DC, MSW, Director, The Holistic Healing Arts Center. --Holistic Healing Arts Newsletter
"Book II of Forget the Cures, Find the Cause is a phenomenal journey of passion and conviction. From the poignant introduction that describes Gangi's personal journey into alternative health, to the touching essay on dealing with grief at the end of life's journey, the reader is guided through their own history of illness, imbalance, trauma, and changes that have affected their present state of health. Book I gave us the Seven Keys to balanced health and was also a powerful read and overview of the often misunderstood world of alternative health. The Circle, in Book II shows us our connection to the world around us and is quite brave and firm in discussing the causes of America's ill health. Recommended for every parent and every child regardles of age. Sandy Tender, MSW. --Body & Sole Books
Everyone has something in common we are all someone s child. From birth, we subject our children to vaccines that are supposed to protect and defend us against mumps, tetanus, rubella, etc. However, Gangi writes that within hours of being vaccinated, some children suffered convulsions, respiratory and cardiac arrest, and died. Why do we do it? Medical experts argue that only several hundred of the thousands of babies inoculated had adverse reactions. That does not seem to be a comfort if one of the children who died was yours. Vaccines have become the mainstream weapon of destruction. Gangi recalls that she suffered with mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox and something called the fifth disease. She claims that her immune system got stronger having got through these diseases. But, as she entered the Marines, she was inoculated for every disease imaginable, and her body reacted negatively erythema in multi-form, nodules, vascular impairment, nerve damage, and paralysis. Few people realize the extent of vaccine-induced disease, impairment, and death. While there were ten or so mandatory vaccines in the 50 s and 60 s, today, children are expected to have an average of 36, beginning often at two days old and continuing into young adulthood. The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, sub acute lupus, erthematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma. Autism has risen and SIDS is up 400%. Gangi suggests that it is from foreign particles in vaccines such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and other toxic agents. Since the days of miracle drugs, the rates for cancer have risen. Adulterated foods are a problem. And unhealthy lifestyles do not help fast foods, little or no exercising, etc. This book is highly recommended for it s well-researched material, history, and poignant points and stories. We have everything we need to heal instead we trust a company to provide us a pill, a magic bullet. Gangi has provided a wealth of information packed into 268-pages it is sensible and you will wonder why you hadn t connected the dots earlier.
