The True Triangle of Health

There is a real growth industry, but nobody wants to be a part of it. It's the growing number of people who are suffering from pain. More than one million Americans suffer from headaches, arthritis, and other forms of chronic pain. About six million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia, and eight hundred thousand have chronic fatigue syndrome. These numbers are growing.

Most medical treatments, however, do not actually cure these problems, but simply attempt to cover them up. As a result, your pain returns while specialists and pharmaceutical companies reap enormous profits. They're profiting on your pain.

Neurologist Greg Fors suffered from disabling chronic back pain himself. Perhaps worse, his daughter developed fibromyalgia. It was this double whammy that started him investigating the causes of pain and disease, and resulted in his creation of a comprehensive and compelling program for wellness based on the connection of mind, body, and spirit.

Why We Hurt is a practical guide to health and well being that will inspire you to stop merely covering up your pain and to actually heal it. As you read this book, you will come to understand that there is a beneficial side of pain (pain is the body's alarm system, warning you of underlying problems). You'll learn how it is linked to your thoughts, emotions, diet, lifestyle, and environment. Best of all, Dr. Fors offers simple, effective strategies for overcoming pain without drugs. These techniques give full directions for using nutrition, spiritual and emotional balancing, vitamin and herbal supplements, comprehensive trigger point therapy, and detoxification. When you follow these methods you will find your way back to wholeness, happiness, and a life without pain.

Don't Be SAD
Dr. Fors reveals that one of the major causes of pain is SAD—the Standard American Diet. This diet can result in metabolic changes that may lead to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. He shows how easy it is to change to the Mediterranean diet, a change that can lead you back to health and help you maintain it.

Why We Hurt also reveals the secrets of myofacia, tissue between your muscles and skin that can become knotted. You'll see how this is actually the primary source of pain and stiffness in muscle and joint disorders, and you'll discover how to use pressure points to remove these problems.

Do you take one of the typical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or acetaminophen, to cover pain? You'll learn how taking them can cause more damage than they are supposed to help. You'll also learn how ginger root extract, a common herb, is more effective and is safer than NSAIDS when taken in proper amounts.

The book also features a unique five-step program for spiritual and emotional healing based on the perennial wisdom of great philosophers and spiritual leaders.

This Is The Book That Has It All
Why We Hurt is fully comprehensive.  It is filled with amazing insight and practical, how-to self-care information you can use to conquer conditions such as back pain, tension headaches, and fibromyalgia. You may have heard that healing comes through the triangle of mind, body, and spirit. This is the one book that actually explains how to use all three to end your pain. If you have pain, or know someone who does, this book must be the next one you read.


A soft-edged triangle of arrows, tip to end, forms an endless rotation. More than forty years old, the symbol for recycling is used and known the world over. Practitioners of magic know recycling is by no means a "new" idea. Throughout history many have lived by the mantra of "make it do, use it up, wear it out." Earth-based religions have... read this article
