Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one.

Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.

Country Archer Beef Jerky Sticks: A Clean, High-Protein Snack with Bold Flavor
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 1 Ounce (18 Count), Flavor Name: Original, Size: 1 Ounce (18 Count)
Country Archer Beef Jerky Sticks are a fantastic option for anyone looking for a flavorful, high-protein snack. With around 6-7 grams of protein per stick and only 70-80 calories, they’re a great choice for those trying to keep their snack game healthy while maintaining a balanced diet. What sets Country Archer apart is their commitment to using clean, natural ingredients, without artificial preservatives or added nitrates, which makes them a cleaner option compared to many other jerky brands. The texture is tender yet satisfying, and the flavor is bold without being too overpowering. The jerky sticks are slightly on the pricier side, but if you're prioritizing quality and natural ingredients, it's well worth the investment. While they still have a bit of sodium, they tend to have less than some other jerky options, making them a good fit for those keeping an eye on their salt intake. Overall, Country Archer Beef Jerky Sticks are an excellent, convenient snack that delivers on taste, protein, and clean ingredients—ideal for anyone looking for a healthy and satisfying option on the go.
