INTRODUCTION This book is an extension of the Francoies first book Finding God\' ..Just in Time. through Toxic Mold. #1 in Counseling and Recovery and #1 in Religion and Spiritually. After listening to the feed back from their first book, the Francoies have added the answers to the questions you didn\'t know you had about Toxic Mold HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR HOME HAS A SILENT KILLER IN IT! GET THE FACTS!! Toxic Mold is often caused by water damaged buildings, and often unseen and undetected. After water damage of any type you will have question like: *How do I know if Toxic Mold is in my home? *Is my home safe? *What symptoms do I watch for? and more. All of these could be symptoms of \'Bio-Toxins\' building up in your body from the silent killer-Toxic Mold. The sad thing is, unless your doctor is specifically trained in Bio-Toxins like Lime Disease or Toxic Mold, they won\'t know IF your toxic or how to treat it, let alone how to help you. If you\'re chronically sick and have been told you have allergies, you may want to know what the symptoms of bio-toxins are. Clark and Vici Francoies talk about how God brought the two of them together later in life and how they ended up in the fight for their lives after exposure to toxic mold. They had an ongoing toxic-mold problem in their apartment for about 2-1/2 years. Not understanding the health risks, they didn\'t leave. Not until Vici became too ill to work and ultimately, almost lost her life. They share their testimony in hopes that it will help others going through similar circumstances. This story is how they not only survived and learned to thrive again, but where they found life saving help. Now they are sharing what they have learned to teach others how you can thrive too! THE SIX MONTH DIFFERENCE I found this amazing detox diet that I am sharing in the book. We share the Mold and Mycotoxins in your food supply. We will also tell you ways to starve out the Mold. You will also receive a maintenance plan *WOW! WAIT! WHY Unfortunately after being exposed to toxic molds your body will be susceptible for life to the aflatoxins and other offenders found in the food. Your body will have heavy antibodies against these molds in the future and a lot of our food supply has small traces of toxic molds in them. Once you have been exposed to Toxic Molds, Candida will become out of control very quickly . Sometimes in as little as only 3-4 weeks of eating foods with carbs AGAIN a person previously exposed to toxic molds can get a MASSIVE yeast, candida or new fungal infection. This is the reason the diets in the book are highly recommend for a lifetime maintenance after Toxic Mold. Get your copy today to be better prepared for your family and friends when disaster strikes! Please give us a review and let us know this book has helped you. God Bless There is in modem society a structural change that underlies many of the social changes with which the conference was concerned. My argument here will be that this is a qualitative change in the way society is organized, a change with many implications. I will call this a change from primordial and spontaneous social organization to constructed social organization (see Coleman 1990, Chapters 2, 3, and 24 for an extended examination of this change). The common definitions of these terms contain some hint of what I mean, but I will describe the change more fully to ensure that it is clearly understood. By primordial social organization I mean social organization that has its origins in the relationships established by childbirth. Not all these relations are activated in all cultures, but some subset of these relations forms the basis for all primitive and traditional social organization. From these relations, more complex structures unfold. For example, from these relations come families from families come clans from clans, villages and from villages, tribes, ethnicities, or societies. ARE YOU A CULTURAL CREATIVE?Do you dislike all the emphasis in modern culture on success and “making it,” on getting and spending, on wealth and luxury goods?Do you care deeply about the destruction of the environment and would pay higher taxes or prices to clean it up and to stop global warming?Are you unhappy with both the left and the right in politics and want to find a new way that does not simply steer a middle course?In this landmark book, sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson draw upon thirteen years of survey research studies on more than 100,000 Americans. They reveal who the Cultural Creatives are and the fascinating story of their emergence over the last generation, using vivid examples and engaging personal stories to describe their distinctive values and lifestyles. The Cultural Creatives offers a more hopeful future and prepares us all for a transition to a new, saner, and wiser culture. Despite the central importance that water has held for civilizations both ancient and modern, its social significance has made surprisingly little impact on our contemporary understanding of human history and development. Dominant interpretations of the relationship between society and nature have remained water blind. In Water and Society historian and leading water expert Terje Tvedt argues for a change that acknowledges the significant role played by water in societal development. Reflecting his expertise as a geographer, historian and a political scientist, and drawing on his wide experience of water issues around the world, Terje Tvedt s Water and Society provides a long overdue reappraisal of the relationship between water and society, one that gives water its rightful place as central to any true understanding of human history and development.
