The Way of Miracles: Accessing Your Superconsciousness is an adventure for the body, mind and spirit that begins with the premise that miracles don’t randomly happen—we create them!
According to Mark Mincolla, PhD, developing our superconscious mind and recognizing the consciousness that exists within each of us is what generates miracles. A wholistic physician for more than three decades, Dr. Mincolla used his own techniques and learnings to cure himself of a life-threatening illness, and helps others to do the same.
East meets West, and ancient systems converge with cutting edge science into a deeper understanding of body, mind, and spirit medicine. Discover how to harness the power of healing by exploring how the energetic properties of food, thought, and emotion affect immunity, chronic inflammation, and the genetic expression of disease.
Dr. Mincolla was recently honored with the 2021 Divine Contribution to Humanity Award for his years of research and work in promoting a deeper awareness of consciousness and healing for mankind.

"Everything But Fear", a short documentary about the life of renowned NYC boxing trainer Francisco Mendez, will be part of this year's Dances With Films festival August 26-September 12 at Hollywood's famed TCL Chinese Theatres.
Produced and directed by Bryan TwZ Brousseau, an award-winning filmmaker based in New York City, "Everything But Fear" will tell the story of Mendez, a Mexican immigrant, who rose from humble beginnings to open one of the country’s most famous boxing gyms in New York City.
Tenemos todo menos miedo – we have everything but fear – is a phrase that inspired Francisco in his dream to create a premier training facility that centered around hard work, family, and united the community of boxers under his guidance.
The boxing community was stunned when the legendary trainer and mentor died of COVID-19 during the shutdown of NYC in 2020.
SYNOPSIS
Everything But Fear is a short documentary about Francisco Mendez, a renowned boxing trainer and founder of Mendez Boxing, New York City’s premier boxing gym. Tenemos todo menos miedo – we have everything but fear – is a phrase that guided Francisco from rural Mexico to 26th Street in Manhattan, and this film is a testament to everything that he achieved as well as what the New York City boxing community lost when he died of COVID-19.
Mendez Boxing is located a few blocks from Madison Square Garden and welcomes new boxers, amateurs, and professionals. It’s also where some of the best trainers in boxing work, and this combination of personalities, skill levels, and styles has made Mendez Boxing one of the best boxing gyms in the country.
As a trainer, Francisco taught a traditional, Mexican style of boxing, which was to keep moving forward in the ring. From training countless fighters, to building his gym, to beating cancer, Francisco always kept moving. Everything But Fear shows how one man rose from humble beginnings to establish a name that will always be associated with hard work, family, and the community of boxing.

The End of Alzheimer's Program:
The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age
First person stories of patients who recovered from Alzheimer's Disease--and how they did it.
It has been said that everyone knows a cancer survivor, but no one has met an Alzheimer’s survivor – until now. In his first two books, Dr. Dale Bredesen outlined the revolutionary treatments that are changing what had previously seemed like the inevitable outcome of cognitive decline and dementia.
Now, THE FIRST SURVIVORS OF ALZHEIMER’S is a collection of first person stories of patients who recovered from Alzheimer's Disease--and how they did it. In these moving narratives, you can hear directly from the first survivors themselves--their own amazing stories of hope told in their own words.
These first person accounts honestly detail the fear, struggle, and ultimate victory of each patient's journey. They vividly describe what it is like to have Alzheimer's. They also drill down on how each of these patients made the program work for them--the challenges, the workarounds, and the encouraging results that are so motivating. Dr. Bredesen includes commentary following each story to help point readers to the tips and tricks that might help them as well. This book will give unprecedented hope to patients and their families.
Dr. Bredesen is also comments on the approval of a new Alzheimer’s drug, Aducunamb, and why he is opposed to it.
Dr. Bredesen’s End of Alzheimer’s Program:
Optimize your cognition and overall health.
Enhance your cognitive ability, optimize your focus and work, sharpen your memory, and improve your speaking.
Prevent and reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Enhance your cognitive ability at every age.
The overall goal of the program is summarized as removal, resilience, and rebuilding:
Removal of the exposures contributing to cognitive decline,
Resilience resulting from optimal health support, and
Rebuilding of the neural network.

In Double Talkin’ Jive legendary drummer Matt Sorum takes music lovers behind the scenes of a remarkable life in rock. Sorum, whose albums have sold tens of millions of copies around the world, provides an honest, engaging account of the highs and lows of superstardom. Sorum recounts his childhood years idolizing Ringo Starr and surviving an abusive stepfather.
After leaving high school, Sorum sold pot to get by. Over time, his drug dealing escalated to smuggling large quantities of cocaine, a career that came to a halt following a dramatic shoot-out. Sorum fled his old life and settled in Hollywood, where he’d enjoy a rapid ascension to rock ’n’ roll immortality. He caught his big break drumming for the Cult, and only a year later was invited to join Guns N’ Roses, with whom he’d record two of rock’s most iconic albums: Use Your Illusion 1 and 2.
The Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee & Grammy Award winning Sorum opens up with forthright honesty, sharing anecdotes from his time touring the globe, battling drug and alcohol addiction, as well as working with Axl Rose, one of the greatest frontmen in rock, Slash and the rest of the GNR team. His career with the Cult, Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Motörhead, the Hollywood Vampires, and Kings of Chaos costars an ensemble of rock royalty, from Billy Idol to Steven Tyler, Billy F Gibbons, and Alice Cooper.
Double Talkin’ Jive goes beyond the clichés of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, telling the very human story of what it takes to make it in music, and the toll stardom exacts from those who achieve success. Sorum invites fans to revel in the debauchery of the good times, but also paints a stark portrait of life after the party. Music fans of any generation will find value in the pages of this evocative, thoughtful, and candid autobiography.
