When introduced to the human body, bioactive metabolites produced by plants for self defense bind to particular biochemical targets, most notably to proteins involved in signaling by hormones and neurotransmitters. This, essentially, is the basis for the effects of herbal medicine. While herbal medicine preparations may act by complex synergistic interactions, molecular explanations of herbal medicine efficacy and side effects ultimately require definition of the biochemical targets of individual plant bioactive constituents. Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds is a comprehensive and user-friendly reference guide to biochemical targets of plant defensive compounds. With 500 pages of tables, it presents a mine of succinctly summarized information relating to bioactive compound structures, plant sources, biochemical targets and physiological effects that can be readily accessed via chemical compound, plant genus, plant common name and subject indexes. With introductory chapters providing reviews of the structural diversity of plant defensive compounds and biochemistry, this book is an invaluable reference for biomedical professionals in the fields of alternative/complementary medicine, natural product chemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, and botany.

US-Imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide

US-Imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide is a monument to free speech in a time of cowardice and widespread censorship. The book delivers a profound message from a top scholar to humanitarians across the globe: "Silence kills and silence is complicity."\nTwo decades in the making, the book exposes the truth about the War on Terror as well as the 9/11 false flag attack that was the catalyzing event that legitimized the seemingly never-ending list of neo-colonial wars and atrocities. 
Despite sending more than 10,000 emails and 100 physical copies to journalists, news organizations, prominent scientists, alleged anti-war activists, the International Criminal Court, and politicians all over the world, the response has been deafeningly silent. This is a book the Establishment does not want you to read. 
Dr. Kevin Barrett, one of America's best-known critics of the War on Terror, has written a must-read foreword to the book, entitled, "Holocaust Studies Revised." 
Søren Roest Korsgaard, author and publisher, wrote the second foreword to the book, "Accountability and Freedom of Press," which dispels many myths about modern democracies.

CLIMATE CRISIS, CLIMATE GENOCIDE & SOLUTIONS is the ultimate climate bible that thoroughly documents the acute seriousness of the worsening climate emergency. Widespread speciescide and ecocide are pushing the Earth towards omnicide and terracide. At the very heart of this deadly problem we find neoliberal greed, egregious inequity, and ruthless mendacity. Unless we adopt Gideon Polya´s solutions, it is inevitable that we are en route to a sustainable population in 2100 of about 1 billion people. \nDr. Gideon Polya is a Melbourne-based biochemist, writer, humanitarian activist, and artist. Over the last two decades, he has published numerous articles on the human consequences of neoliberalism, war, mainstream media deception, and climate change. Evidently, as a consequence of his carefully researched writing, he has been honored by being rendered invisible in look-the-other-way, US-dominated Australia.

BODY COUNT exposes the horrendous extent of the Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that has totaled about 1.3 billion since 1950. Peace is the only way, but silence kills and silence is complicity. We can all do something immediately by informing others and through ethical dealings with people, corporations and countries contributing to the continuing Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that kills 20,000 people DAILY!\n"Clearly inspired by the total devastation wrought by the Iraqi war, Body Count shows the deadly effects of war, occupation, and global inequality on the survival of the populations of Third World countries. ... Polya points out that lies have historically been used to justify the violence perpetrated by the dominant powers of the world, and the mainstream media have been more than willing to perpetuate the lies." 
― Dr. Jacqueline Carrigan\n"Dr. Gideon Polya documents that three to four times more Muslims have been killed by Washington's 21st century wars than there are Jews in Israel." 
― Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
