One man’s “curiously thrilling joyride” of travelogue, history, and climatology, across a planet on the brink of cataclysmic transformation (Donovan Hohn).As the planet warms, winter is shrinking. In the last fifty years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30%. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes.In this deeply researched, beautifully written, and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere's snow line to track the scope of this drastic change, and how it will literally change everything—from rapid sea level rise, to fresh water scarcity for two billion people, to massive greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and a half dozen climate tipping points that could very well spell the end of our world.This original research is animated by four harrowing and illuminating journeys—each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox's own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine.Timely, atmospheric, and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase a shocking and unexpected casualty of climate change—that may well set off its own unstoppable warming ...

The first practical, accessible self-help guide to managing symptoms of Long Covid.More than 1 million people suffer from Long Covid in the UK (with 400,000 people suffering symptoms for over a year), and many more globally. Yet there is no clear guidance available to the general public, and lots of misinformation out there. This handbook cuts through the confusing advice. Written by the medical experts working with Long Covid patients at one of the first specialist clinics set up, it is filled with helpful case studies and was written with the involvement of real Long Covid sufferers. The focus is on self-management with a simple, consistent message about improving symptoms.Each chapter takes a different issue in turn and offers clear, friendly guidance on key areas such as breathlessness, psychological aspects, brain fog, fatigue, returning to exercise and returning to work.

The third, completely revised and updated, edition of the ultimate guide to energy – how we get it and how we spend it – for all patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalitis and long COVID.Since the first edition of this book appeared, mainstream medicine has come up with nothing new that will help patients with chronic fatigue despite the recognition of long COVID – symptom-suppressing painkillers and antidepressants remain the mainstay. In the seven years since the second edition was published both new research and new clinical findings have meanwhile thrown increasing weight behind Dr Sarah Myhill’s approach that focuses on the body’s energy delivery systems and its energy use.In this third edition, Dr Myhill, now supported by expert patient Craig Robinson, has completely revised and updated her practical guidance on how to improve the former with diet, supplements and other lifestyle measures and how to address energy wastage through traditional approaches including methylene blue, DMSO and photodynamic therapy, and how to re-program the immune system with micro-immunotherapy.Following continued harassment by the UK’s General Medical Council, Dr Myhill has de-registered and through this third edition we are beneficiaries of the fruits of that change as her focus is evermore ...

In December of 2020, Vir McCoy contracted Covid-19, which then developed into Post-Acute Sequelae Covid (PASC), commonly known as Long Covid or Long-Haul Covid. Drawing on his journey to heal his chronic Lyme disease years earlier, McCoy began collecting intuitive information, as a medical intuitive, and scientific information, as a scientist, about the nature of Long-Haul Covid. Integrating his intuitive impressions with extensive scientific and medical research, as well as other protocols and support group success stories, he developed a comprehensive healing guide for a successful recovery from Long Covid. The author discusses the primary symptoms and predispositions of Long Covid and outlines the basic steps for dealing with each of them, including brain fog, tinnitus, loss of smell and hair, debilitating headaches, hormonal dysregulation, immune malfunction, limbic system dysfunction, gut issues, mental instability, sleeplessness, and intolerance to certain foods. Backed up by more than 350 scientific references, he presents medicines and methods for healing Long Covid, ranging from pharmaceutical, herbal, and homeopathic remedies to breathwork practices, detox therapies, lymph drainage exercises, gut biome restoration, neuroplasticity retraining, immune modulation, and shamanic techniques, as well as meditations and mantras for calming the limbic system and the PTSD that can accompany chronic ...
