"Taiwan: Fifty Things You Didn't Know."

Brooklyn, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/17/2021 -- Although no bigger than the state of Maryland, Taiwan is a place of tremendous cultural diversity, extraordinary landscapes and varied cuisines as well as Asia's most vibrant democracy. A self-governing de facto country for more than 70 years, Taiwan is a world leader in semiconductor technology and scientific innovation. Regarded by Communist China as a breakaway province to be reclaimed by force if necessary, Taiwan has been a political pawn in the drama of international politics since the Cold War began.

In this timely and informative book, author Nathaniel Altman offers a unique, comprehensive and intimate portrait of Taiwan, with chapters on history, politics, cultural traditions, institutions and things uniquely Taiwanese. Based on more than a dozen extended visits to Taiwan over a 25-year period, this book reveals little-known facts about one of the most fascinating – yet least understood - countries in the world.

Brooklyn, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/06/2017 -- In 2015, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated that more than 12.5 million Americans misused opioids, and more than 2 million currently suffer from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 53,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses in 2016. President Trump finally declared the opioid epidemic a "public health emergency" in October, 2017.

Nathaniel Altman, author of critically-acclaimed The New Oxygen Prescription (Healing Arts Press, 2017), reports that due to its powerful analgesic properties, ozone therapy is a safe and effective solution to the opioid epidemic. His carefully-researched and documented article, just released, is available for free download as a .pdf file at Altman's website: http://www.oxygenprescription.com/.

Though harmful when inhaled, ozone's therapeutic mechanism of actions include stimulation of oxygen metabolism in the body; inactivation of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa; and activation of the immune system. In addition to its ability to inactivate bacteria, protozoa, viruses and yeast, ozone has also been found to have powerful analgesic or pain-reducing effects.

In countries like Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia, where ozone therapy is part of the medical mainstream, thousands of patients have found that therapeutic ozone – administered primarily through precise injections into affected joints and discs- can sharply reduce or eliminate pain connected with arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica and disc problems. And because ozone stimulates healing, conditions that underlie pain are often eliminated. Migraine headaches and fibromyalgia pain are often treated with major autohemotherapy, which involves removing a small amount of blood from the patient, infusing the blood with ozone, and infusing it back into the body as a form of auto-vaccine that is effective, safe and does not create addiction of any kind.

Used by over 15,000 physicians in Europe, Asia and Cuba to treat over fifty diseases- including diabetes, hepatitis, heart disease, candida and fibromyalgia- ozone therapy is little known in the United States due to opposition by the pharmaceutical industry and mainstream medical organizations. Because ozone is cheap to produce and cannot be patented, it offers no financial incentive to our money-driven health care establishment.

Ozone therapy has been used in medical practice for over 100 years, involving over 20 million treatments. It is considered one of the safest forms of medical therapy, with minimal side effects and zero risk of addiction. During a time of a declared public health emergency, Altman maintains that not considering ozone therapy as part of the solution is nothing short of criminal.

A timely new edition of the classic Sacred Trees by Nathaniel Altman explores the ancient human connection to trees and the positive and lasting roles that trees have played in human evolution through the ages.

Brooklyn, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/28/2017 -- Nathaniel Altman and Gaupo Publishing are pleased to announce the publication of a new edition of Sacred Trees.

Since the dawn of human history, trees have played a central role in the survival of humanity and the flowering of myriad cultures. Not surprisingly, people the world over have revered trees for their life-giving and life-affirming nature. But modern societies have lost touch with that sense of reverence.

Originally published by Sierra Club Books in 1994, this revised and updated edition of Sacred Trees rekindles our once broadly-held kinship with the natural world. Through vivid history and myth drawn from hundreds of the world's cultures - from the ancient Egyptians and the Druids of early Britain to today's indigenous Hawaiians- Nathaniel Altman reveals the special relationship people have always shared with trees. Sacred Trees highlights the devotion that traditional cultures have shown towards trees, and how this deepened connection will lead us to dedicate ourselves more to the protection, preservation, and propagation of both individual trees and larger forest communities, all essential for the healing of Mother Earth.

Richly illustrated with black and white drawings and photographs, this long-awaited edition of Sacred Trees is available online in both trade paperback and e-book editions from Amazon.com and Kindle Bookshelf. Publishing date: March 2017. 330 pages. ISBN 978-0-9979720-2-3.
