Ein Virus verändert das Antlitz der Welt: Im Februar 2020 tritt Covid-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019), eine Infektionserkrankung aus China, die durch ein Coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) verursacht wird, erstmals in Europa auf und bringt innerhalb wenige Wochen das gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Leben zum Erliegen. Man vermutet Fledermäuse als Überträger, die in Wuhan für den ersten großen Ausbruch gesorgt haben. Die Covid-19-Pandemie lässt viele Fragen offen, die es wissenschaftlich zu beleuchten gilt. Sie hat enorme soziale, wirtschaftliche und politische Auswirkungen, ebenso auf die medizinische Forschung, die mit Hochdruck daran arbeitet, dieses Virus in den Griff zu bekommen. In ihrem neuesten Buch geht Miryam Muhm den drängendsten Fragen nach: Woher stammt Covid-19? Existierte es womöglich schon früher? Wie wirkt sich die Krankheit aus? Ihre tiefgreifenden Recherchen zeigen, dass Covid-19 bereits vor Februar 2020 in Europa existiert und nicht nur eine Lungenentzündung, sondern eine systemische Entzündung des Körpers auslöst, die als virale Vaskulitis überall Blutgerinnsel verursacht. Chinesische Studien haben ergeben, dass die meisten Todesfälle darauf zurückzuführen sind und dass eine Behandlung mit Heparin Erfolg verspricht. Dennoch beharren die WHO, deren größter Privatfinanzier Bill Gates ist, und die Pharmaindustrie – darunter eine Impfstofffirma von Bill Gates – darauf, dass nur ein neu zu entwickelnder und weltweit eingesetzter Impfstoff die Pandemie beenden kann. Dabei werden andere mögliche Therapien beiseitegeschoben, was doppelt bedenklich ist, da die normalen Sicherheitsstandards, die für die Entwicklung eines Impfstoffs gelten, bei einer Pandemie außer Kraft gesetzt sind. Sogar anerkannte Mediziner wie Dr. Stephen Fauci aus der Covid-19-Taskforce von Donald Trump warnen davor, dass Impfungen eine infektionsverstärkende Wirkung haben könnten. Dabei gibt es jetzt schon Möglichkeiten zur Selbsthilfe: Wie Miryam Muhm anhand von vielversprechende Studien zeigt, kann Vitamin D nicht nur die Ansteckungsgefahr reduzieren, sondern auch die gravierenden Folgen von Covid-19 lindern.

Larry Kramer's passionate, polemical drama, set during the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. The Normal Heart traces the story of one man who, while his friends are dying around him, strives to break through a conspiracy of silence, indifference and hostility from public officials and the gay community, and gain recognition for a virus that threatens to change everything. The play received its British premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1986. Thirty-five years after that premiere, the play's prescience and its searing emotional power are beyond doubt. It was revived on Broadway in 2011 (winning the Tony Award for Best Revival) and adapted for television in 2014 (receiving the Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie). This new edition of the play is published alongside a major revival at the National Theatre, London, in 2021, directed by Dominic Cooke. It features the definitive text of the play, extensive supplementary material including a new introduction by critic and broadcaster David Benedict, and tributes to Larry Kramer by Russell T Davies, Tony Kushner and Matthew López, all of whom have also contributed to the canon of dramatic work about HIV/AIDS – with, respectively, It's A Sin, Angels in America and The Inheritance.

Richard Hill and Ernest L. Rossi's The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands: A Client-Responsive Therapy that Facilitates Natural Problem-Solving and Mind Body Healing describes in detail how Mirroring Hands is conducted, and explores the framework of knowledge and understanding that surrounds and supports its therapeutic process. Foreword by Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. In this instructive and illuminating manual, Hill and Rossi show you how Mirroring Hands enables clients to unlock their problem-solving and mind body healing capacities to arrive at a resolution in a way that many other therapies might not. The authors offer expert guidance as to its client-responsive applications and differentiate seven variations of the technique in order to give the practitioner confidence and comfort in their ability to work within and around the possibilities presented while in session. Furthermore, Hill and Rossi punctuate their description of how Mirroring Hands is conducted with a range of illustrative casebook examples and stage-by-stage snapshots of the therapy in action: providing scripted language prompts and images of a client's hand movement that demonstrate the processes behind the technique as it takes the client from disruption into the therapeutic; and from there to integration, resolution, and a state of well-being. This book begins by tracing the emergence of the Mirroring Hands approach from its origins in Rossi's studies and experiences with Milton H. Erickson and by presenting a transcription of an insightful discussion between Rossi and Hill as they challenge some of the established ways in which we approach psychotherapy, health, and well-being. Building upon this exchange of ideas, the authors define and demystify the nature of complex, non-linear systems and skillfully unpack the three key elements of induction to therapeutic consciousness focused attention, curiosity, and nascent confidence in a section dedicated to preparing the client for therapy. Hill and Rossi supply guidance for the therapist through explanation of therapeutic dialogue's non-directive language principles, and through exploration of the four-stage cycle that facilitates the client's capacity to access their natural problem-solving and mind body healing. The advocate Mirroring Hands as not only a therapeutic technique, but also for all practitioners engaged in solution-focused therapy. Through its enquiry into the vital elements of client-cue observation, symptom-scaling, and rapport-building inherent in the therapist/client relationship, this book shares great wisdom and insight that will help the practitioner become more attuned to their clients' inner worlds and communication patterns. Hill and Rossi draw on a wealth of up-to-date neuroscientific research and academic theory to help bridge the gap between therapy's intended outcomes and its measured neurological effects, and, towards the book's close, also open the door to the study of quantum field th...

Is the girl on the train beside you a free citizen, or is she enslaved by debt bondage? Human trafficking is the fastest growing industry run by organised crime. Detective Inspector Sean Fagan of SOCA investigates the Agency, a criminal fraternity trafficking illegal immigrants. When MI5 inform Fagan the Agency are contracting expendable people for use by an Islamic terror cell, the pressure mounts while the SIS manipulate dark and secret ways to fight their long-term wars. Trapped in a wretched world of modern slavery, abuse and barbaric killings, Jelena an illegal from Kosovo dreams of freedom but violent forces which shaped her adolescence still dominate her life. Jelena is given to the terrorists as a disposable chattel and finds herself locked in a flat with millions of virus contaminated bank notes. Death awaits until events reunite her with Gavrilo, the boy she had known and loved when both were adolescents. Now mentally disturbed but a successful car thief and solider for the Agency, Gavrilo seeks refuge from reality by busking with his violin while believing Jelena is an angel, a vision who he has always loved but believes is dead. As Fagan closes, a bomb containing enough anthrax to kill thousands is unwittingly carried by Gavrilo into Central London. With Jelena's help, MI5 and SOCA desperately search as the timing device ticks to detonation and the destruction of British democratic tolerance. The slave industry is alive and flourishing. Between 500,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked into the EU every year. The favoured destination is England. Tied by debt bondage women are forced into prostitution while men are used in organised crime or hired out to labour intensive employment where they receive little or no payment. The rebellious are frequently murdered. When beyond physical exploitation many are used for benefit fraud or sold on for organ transplant
