This book is not intended to be read like a novel but, as an inspiration, and encouragement on your journey towards a path of healing. And also, my hope is that, as you read through these pages, they will serve as a guide along your path to acquiring more balance on your journey towards a healthier you! You will also find why I've felt inspired for years to put in writing my answers to the questions people often ask me. After working in the Alternative Care World (as a massage therapist for a total of 16 years, in-which seven of those years includes working in an alternative care clinic), this is a work I feel needs to be out there for people who are looking for guidance concerning their health issues when their health care provider is not meeting up to their standards. For I am one of "those people" who happens to be very sensitive to the type of substances that are taken internally whether it is through "Holistic health care" or "Western Medicine" supplementation, and especially "holistic" supplementation in the form of IV's or injections, which I have been there and done that by having the opportunity to experience the "alternative care world," first hand it is what forced me to figure it out... about how an extra sensitive person such as myself was to Survive Lyme & West Nile! I also wrote this book for those individuals who are at wit's end (as I was) due to not knowing what direction to go next, and for those who haven't even heard about some of the alternative routes that are out there (other than the "big name" companies) due to not having the available necessary funding that is needed to support a clinic, and to make their voice heard through marketing strategies about their ideas and abilities to help ailing individuals in search of the best solutions concerning their medicinal needs. Then on the flip side... many of these "gifted healers" prefer to work alone in their quiet little unique offices. I have added charts I find very helpful for helping others as well as Self-help Techniques and Protocols for Parasitic infections, SIBO (Sm. Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth), Lyme and West Nile Disease, along with instructions of how to help relax the ileocecal valve and simple acupressure points that may help with Headaches, Migraines, Insomnia, and helping to acquire the "feeling of wellness taking place." I will also share with you my personal experience with acugraphs (measures the energies of the meridians), and Live and Dry blood (microscopy) results. You will also find information on my inspired Nerve Tissue Release Technique (NTRT) and contact information about classes that Dr. Troy Crane (chiropractor practitioner) in Burley, Idaho, (who has been one of my mentors since I have received my Massage Therapy Certification) and I will be offering to those of you who would like to learn a technique that may possibly help your loved ones as well as yourself, who suffer from Illnesses, Pain, Headaches, Migraines, Sciatica, and possibly even pinched nerve damage, and may also help to release those tender acupressure points, that correlates with the issues listed above, with the intentions of helping you bring your body into balance, allowing it to heal on a grander scale. May All Your Days Be Blessed with Love, Peace, Health, & Abundance Kathy Gaa LMT,CBCP (license Massage Therapist & certified Body Code practitioner) I am petitioning all Body-Workers who have these skills, and who are "Passionately Dedicated" in helping and learning "my format" to help battle against Lyme & West Nile, you may send your business contact information to me. I will add you to a business directory on my website for the people who are looking for a Therapist in their area that uses the modalities listed above. Let's Work as a Team to Help Fight the battle of pain and suffering from Lyme and West Nile.

"Raven's 8th edition of Environment offers more detailed content than the Visualizing text for a better understanding and integration of the core environmental systems and to view and analyze the role those systems play. Shorter, but still comprehensive coverage focuses on ethical decision making and key local environmental science issues, requiring readers to think critically about the course material outside of the classroom. Other features include brief text in the comprehensive segment; extensive chapter pedagogy to help reinforce the systems approach; more opportunities to think critically about the how systems intersect and fit together; and new data interpretation questions at the end of each chapter"--
