Simple steps for getting well, staying well and gaining vitality for a long and healthy life based on the teachings of legendary holistic healer and pioneering nutritionist Hazel Parcells. Dr. Hazel Parcells, the revered grand dame of alternative medicine, who healed herself of terminal tuberculosis when she was 42 years old, inspired several generations of nutritionists, and lived to the age of 106 by following a dramatically effective set of straightforward nutritional practices. In this practical and motivating guide, Dr. Parcellss longtime student Joseph Dispenza distills more than sixty-five years of her groundbreaking research on natural health and the chemistry of foods into seven practices that are remarkably easy to integrate into daily routines.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I lived monastic life for eight years, studying religion and spirituality first-hand. My order was the Congregation of Holy Cross (CSC). The monastery was in a remote part of Indiana. The first year of my monastic experience was a year of total silence. After I left the monastic life, I worked for social change with a number of humanitarian organizations, including The Center for Social Communications in New York and the Institute for Environmental Change in Toronto. I earned an advanced degree in communication and became an educator and writer.
I am the author of fourteen books, including "OlderMan/Younger Man," "God On Your Own: Finding a Spiritual Path Outside Religion" (Jossey-Bass, 2006), "Live Better Longer" (HarperCollins, 1997) and "The Way of the Traveler" (second edition, Avalon, 2002).
My writings on spirituality and natural self-healing have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and websites, including Alternative Medicine, American Way, Beliefnt.com, Eddie Bauer, Free Spirit, Magical Blend, Massage Magazine, Spirituality and Health, Whole Life Times, and To Your Health. Much of my professional life has been spent teaching, as lecturer at American University in Washington, D.C., and as professor at The College of Santa Fe, where I founded an academic program in Moving Image Arts.
I have been in practice as a spiritual counselor for 20 years. I am the co-founder of LifePath Retreats in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where I live.
