Most Popular Books by Mariel Hemingway

Stardom, thanks to Woody Allen and his film Manhattan, came at an early age...but so did the problems of a broken and dysfunctional family. Yet in a life so out of kilter, Mariel Hemingway summoned the strength and inner resolve that enabled her to find -- and to keep -- her balance. In Finding My Balance, actress Mariel Hemingway uses the lessons and practices of yoga as a starting point for her own personal reflections and larger-than-life family story. The result is a searingly honest memoir that is as deeply moving as it is helpfully prescriptive. Mariel turned to yoga and its meditative practice in an effort to maintain her center when her life threatened to spin out of control. Having experienced family tragedy, sudden stardom, and the continuing challenges of a full and demanding life, Mariel learned through practice how to find her balance in emotionally disorienting situations. Throughout the book, Mariel uses her yoga training as a starting point for each chapter, carefully describing a particular position, then letting her mind wander into thoughts of the past and of her tumultuous life. As each chapter begins with instruction, so does the book end with exercises organized in a sequence that can be followed by anyone who wants to practice them. As a special bonus for this edition, Mariel has added a section that describes the basics of her own "In Balance Philosophy," calming words of advice for people in search of their own emotional center.

A moving, compelling memoir about growing up and escaping the tragic legacy of mental illness, suicide, addiction, and depression in one of America’s most famous families: the Hemingways. She opens her eyes. The room is dark. She hears yelling, smashed plates, and wishes it was all a terrible dream. But it isn’t. This is what it was like growing up as a Hemingway. In this deeply moving, searingly honest new memoir, actress and mental health icon Mariel Hemingway shares in candid detail the story of her troubled childhood in a famous family haunted by depression, alcoholism, illness, and suicide. Born just a few months after her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, shot himself, it was Mariel’s mission as a girl to escape the desperate cycles of severe mental health issues that had plagued generations of her family. Surrounded by a family tortured by alcoholism (both parents), depression (her sister Margaux), suicide (her grandfather and four other members of her family), schizophrenia (her sister Muffet), and cancer (mother), it was all the young Mariel could do to keep her head. In a compassionate voice she reveals her painful struggle to stay sane as the youngest child in her family, and how she coped with the chaos by becoming OCD and obsessive about her food, schedule, and organization. The twisted legacy of her family has never quite let go of Mariel, but now in this memoir she opens up about her claustrophobic marriage, her acting career, and turning to spiritual healers and charlatans for solace. Ultimately Mariel has written a story of triumph about learning to overcome her family’s demons and developing love and deep compassion for them. At last, in this memoir she can finally tell the true story of the tragedies and troubles of the Hemingway family, and she delivers a book that beckons comparisons to Mary Karr and Jeanette Walls.

"I cure cancer," say it, because only you can cure your cancer. Say, "I cure cancer!" How do you cure cancer? Cure your acidosis and kill your pathogens. Dr. Bernardo was treating cancer patients for 50 years with this alkaline balancing protocol with a 90% success rate. This book has his protocol and many experts to back it up. I Cure Cancer, debuted in 2006 as a movie in NY. It explains for curing cancer, natural healing is the only way. Go holistic. Get alkaline. You don''t die of cancer. You die of Acidosis. My info isn''t to replace your Doctors it''s to add to your arsenal. I''m just a filmmaker. That being said these days, going to your doctor is not enough due to the fact that the medical business is just that: a business. Therefore, it offers only those treatments that are lucrative for the medical industry. Those treatments have a dismal long-term remission rate, and they are only a tiny slice of what''s available for treating cancer and what has worked for other people. Therefore, if you want to make sure you are doing everything you can to cure your cancer, and if you are willing to take responsibility for your own life, you must not only go to your doctor but also do your own research in order to learn about options that could either complement or replace conventional, Western methods (chemotherapy, radiation and surgery). These methods work for some but also have serious and sometimes fatal side effects. I am not a Doctor, nor am I offering a cure to anyone. The "i" in I Cure Cancer refers to ''you'', the person who is logging on to the site in search of information regarding what other fellow human beings have done in battling this horrendous disease. In short as with any matter of importance dealing with one''s well being, the first step is in taking responsibility for one''s self. To gather as much information on the subject as possible in order to make educated assessments on what would work best for them. I made the film because as an actor in Hollywood it was the next viable venue for me to express what I had to say as a spirit on this planet. Regular movies weren''t cutting it. Reading someone else''s lines weren''t my thing. I wanted to say my own lines. So I did through other people. I interviewed them to tell my story. In this documentary, it was that cancer was curable if you went holistic. I realized the movie had to be made into a book. I had to show the world what I found and include a basic do it at home holistic health program via Dr. Bernardo Majalca. So here you go. Everything in one book for your cancer healing journey.If you are in a hurry skip to Chapter 6. Read Dr. B''s story then do the protocol in chapter 7. It takes 3 months to a year and a half sometimes to get your pH balanced. Once you do, the cancer dies. Bernardo would say if your pH is 7 to 7.4 for 3 months straight you are cancer free. Because cancer can not live in an oxygenated body. Disclaimer: We are not doctors! Just regular people not trusting Rockefeller Western Medicine. Sharing our insights. Only you can cure your cancer so say it. Say iCureCancer. I hope this book helps you. I worked hard on it. Good luck and God bless. Peace. Ian Jacklin
