Boost Your Physical and Emotional Healing Abilities

Dr. David Knighton has some remarkable insights about wounds and our ability to heal ourselves. “We’ve all been wounded,” he writes. “But, paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. As we heal, we grow.”

A leading expert on wound healing, Dr. Knighton delves even deeper into the mystery of human nature with his new book The Wisdom of the Healing Wound: A New View on Why We Hurt and How We Can Cure Even the Deepest Physical and Emotional Wounds. (Health Communications, Inc.)

“The goal in working with wounds of any kind — from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual — is to restore structure and function,” Dr. Knighton says. “That is the healer’s role. Ultimately, The Wisdom of the Healing Wound is about being human — about living fully as body, mind, and spirit. More importantly, it is about the powerful, transformative, and often surprising ways we can heal and thrive in the face of our wounds.”

“Life is full of wounds–physical, emotional, and spiritual. The wounded psyche and spirit heal in much the same manner as physical wounds,” Dr. Knighton explains. “It’s what gives the book a universal appeal.” People in 12-step recovery groups, people facing surgery or who have physical wounds that are slow to heal, people with emotional trauma or PTSD, military and abuse victims and the healing professionals who work with all these types of wounds are sure to see the usefulness of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound.

Dr. David Knighton has achieved the highest standards in his several careers as a doctor, researcher and academic. While at medical school at the University of Illinois, he worked on cancer research at Harvard Medical School. His subsequent work in general surgery, trauma surgery and vascular surgery formed a foundation for his groundbreaking advances in wound care. He founded the Wound Healing Clinic at the University of Minnesota in 1987 which became a prototype for such clinics across the country. His research successes encompass many patents and hundreds of papers and articles for scholarly journals.

“I hope this book will help people understand how wounds serve, support, and teach people,” Dr. Knighton concludes. “I want readers to see wounds, healing, and health in a new and life-affirming way.”

Review by Harold Cheetham Managing Editor Web Today:
Interesting and fasinating approach to healing wounds of all types,whether they be physical, emotional or spiritual.Well written and very informative.Truly a book to add to your must read list.

Political commentator Tricia Erickson releases an in-depth expose’ into the political, fiscal, personal and religious life of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. And She’s holding no punches.

Part I: “While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian Religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes. If the American people knew what he truly believed, they would surely not place him in the highest office in the land.”

Part II: How did Mitt Romney perform as Governor of Massachusetts? Is he truly qualified to turn around the US economy? What’s the real story on his often changing stances?

Mitt Romney Believes:

•He will become a “god” in the afterlife
•Satan is Jesus’ literal brother
•Jesus was NOT born of a virgin birth
•He will be given his own afterlife kingdom where he will call his wife, Ann, into in order to have external sexual relations to populate his kingdom with spirit children
Mitt Romney is NO CONSERVATIVE

•He is the father of Gay Marriage in the US
•Was for abortion and stem cell research before he was against it
•Believes in a religion that’s history is full of racism against Black Americans, native Americans, Jews and more
•Good Economist? Think again
•Olympics? Want the real story?
•Massachusetts ranked in the bottom 3 in job creation under Romney’s Governorship (only above post Katrina Louisiana and Michigan) and ranked third highest state for population loss from 2002 to 2006

About the author:

New Book! Former Mormon Bishop’s Daughter and Political Commentator Reveals Real Story on Mitt Romney!

Tricia Erickson, (a Conservative) was the first Damage Control/Crisis Management Specialist in the country, as stated by Barbara Walters on the show “20/20″. Tricia is also a political consultant and on-air contributor. She has opined on many local and national news and entertainment TV and radio shows/networks. She is also the author of the new book “Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus The Office Of The Presidency of the United States of America.”

Tricia purposely became less active on-the-air in recent years and has not necessarily sought to participate in on-air interviews. However, because of the concern in her heart that for the first time in history, a prominent Mormon could achieve the Office Of The Presidency, she feels a responsibility to educate the public, both in the US and abroad, regarding what this potential Mormon President could truly mean for America. She is an expert on the well-masked cult of Mormonism and a former Mormon Bishop’s daughter who left the church in her early 20’s.

From a political stand point, she believes it is imperative to reveal the facts on Romney’s political record, in opposition to what the Romney camp will shift the voters to believe in order to achieve the Presidency.

We have by now experienced with the current President Obama what smooth words and entertainment imagery, as opposed to substance, can bring to the highest office in the land. Will we make the same mistake again?

Side note: Some of the issues Tricia has been called to speak to in the past are the dangers of Radical Islam, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Mormonism, all things political, the imaging-posturing-positioning of Presidential Candidates, the culture wars and more.

Sodus,NY - Sept 1, 2011- “Outstanding”- A must read. Action from the beginning till the very end.Holds the readers interest and makes you think about life here on earth and how each day molds our life in the next world after death.
Harold Cheetham - Managing Editor - Web Today

Deerfield Beach, FL, August 31, 2011 - “Superb! - The Light Bringer displays an outstanding supernatural adventure that will pull you into a world beyond life itself and make you wonder if it’s really a work of fiction. A chilling movement across the threshold that separates this world and the next - The Light Bringer bridges the gap between the light and darkness, goodness and evil that exist in this world and our life beyond” – Dr. Tom Hill, Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneur’s Soul.

COPS meets The Ghost Whisperer in The Light Bringer, a mysterious story about sixteen lives inexplicably and suddenly extinguished and the man chosen to be their Light Bringer.

Those sixteen people will die on Police Officer Alan Crane’s watch. But while tragic and untimely death is no stranger to the jaded former Marine, his new-found supernatural ability to lead these people to their spiritual fates sends him on a sensational and scary saga that will ultimately answer: Why these sixteen? What do they have in common? And why has Alan been chosen to bring them to the light.

In a time of unending war, untimely death, and economic strife—when bad things happen to good people—we often ask ‘Why?’ The Light Bringer is a supernatural story that engages our imaginations and spirits, while acting as a source of hope and answering this most provocative question.
