  • Loto Perrella.

    Ki Publishing will be publishing the English translation of Loto Perrella's book on "natural help for those suffering from candida infections".

    An earlier book is shown below.

    In Loto's own words: " I am not willing to say that something is white when I think it is black... if others can not take some criticism, too bad for them... but I always ask: do I say anything untrue? if I don't, then it must go on. I am fed up, and upset, and disgusted at seeing almost everyday patients who have been ill for years on end, and have spent lots of money, and they have been told that "it was all in their head", when they could be cured ... Loto writes from personal conviction. She, herself, benefitted greatly from her own advice!

    Loto Perrella and her brother were originally treated harshly by the authorities in her native Spain. This phase lasted for over 3 years. Now their ideas, particularly as expressed in this particular book, have become very acceptable there amongst progressive doctors.

    "La Técnica Clark para el Tratamiento del Cáncer", by Loto & Ayax Perrella - Ediciones Obelisco, Barcelona - Spain.

    Este libro está dividido en tres partes. En la primera hace una recopilación de los distintos métodos alternativos para el tratamiento del cáncer; la segunda parte está dedicada exclusivamente a la técnica de la Dra. Hulda R. Clark, de California, para la cura de la enfermedad. La tercera parte contiene las pautas de la misma Dr. Hulda Clark a el tratamiento del cáncer avanzado, además de una serie de recetas y consejos para llevar una vida más sana, y unas direcciones útiles.

    En España se puede comprar prácticamente en cualquier librería del país, o hacerlo llegar si no lo tienen. Se encuentra también en Latinoamérica (México y otros países).

  • Su precio es de 11,- Euros en España.

    This book assembles, for the first time, for the Spanish speaking public, the different alternative techniques available for the treatment and cure of cancer. It starts with a list of doctors and institutions in northern America which deal with the disease from an alternative point of view, but dedicates most of its pages to Dr. Hulda Clark's technique for the cure of all cancers and all advanced cancers. It ends up with a number of suggestions and tips to improve our everyday life and a list of useful addresses.

    It is to be found in bookshop in Spain, and in some Latin American countries. Its price in Spain is Euros 11 + Postage and Packing.

    This, the first book by Loto Perrella , has been illegally copied word for word and put on the internet by an official Therapists Association in Southern Spain! The author and publisher are not mentioned! Loto's publishers are now working to stop this and to ask for compensation!

    Loto is a professional translator of medical books, as well as an author, and a practicing therapist.

  • Ki Publishing is happy to collaborate on the official English translations of some of Loto Perrella 's work.

    New Version Electronic Biorhythm Calculator.

    At the London Biorhythm Company we are often asked about the handy, pocket-sized biorhythm calculators that were widely sold in the 1970s and 1980s. Many readers of this web site will remember those handy biorhythm devices made by Casio, Kosmos, Radio Shack and others. Such biorhythm machines are now collector's items! Sadly these biorhythm gadgets were made to calculate with dates in the 1900s only. When the Millennium came these biorhythm calculators became redundant, although most are still working reliably.

    At the London Biorhythm Company we are going to produce an up-dated version of these biorhythm calculators. These handy electronic displays for biorhythms should be priced at under £20. Anyone who might like to buy one, and there is NO commitment to purchase at this stage, should e.mail the London Biorhythm Company to register an interest. When appropriate, we will e-mail back with progress of the development.

    Canadian artist Erglis is sponsored by London Biorhythm Company , and Ki Cards.
    She has also designed a CD cover.

    A statement by Erglis written 24th February, 2004. Since writing this Erglis's work has been exhibited in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Montreal and Toronto.

    "I employ pictorial images because with these I am more at ease with them than with words. Now I find that I must use words to explain and define the images! I work with a continually expanding arsenal of symbols. I like to inject 'humor' into my work where possible, if it isn’t already there. At the moment, my three main food groups are social and political blunders; the imagination and my emotions. One day I hope to possess a visual vocabulary which will be universally understood."

    Ki Publishing further down the line!

  • "The Many Hatted Man and the Butterfly Lady"
  • is the first children's book by illustrator Frances Quail, an exuberant story-teller. The quaint fantasy of "The Many Hatted Man and the Butterfly Lady" is based around the English South Coast resort of Brighton, and the story features some of the landmarks of that City. A local "Starbucks" coffee shop there has bought one of the original illustrations by Frances to display on their premises.

    In the story of "The Many Hatted Man and the Butterfly Lady" the Butterfly Lady sits at a café table with a cup of coffee in front of her. She notices a man chasing a hat in the autumn wind. He accidentally knocks her coffee over, and an enduring friendship begins. Adventures are undertaken together. The Butterfly Lady had recently emerged from her cocoon. She supports the Many Hatted Man, who also undergoes a transformation. The climax of this modern fable is the couple, standing by an attic window, that overlooks the sea. The Butterfly Lady encourages the Many Hatted Man, and they both fly up into the air. Soon, he is flying by himself.



    The "Many Hatted Man and The Butterfly Lady" is lavishously illustrated throughout.

    Journey to Self by Margaret Dempsey.

  • An experience that is broadly similar to Margaret's is discussed by Vanessa Graham in her book, The Hidden Path, published by Oshadi Publishers. The Oshadi Meditation Centre, is at Saddlers Meadow, Henfield, West Sussex.

  • A Self Help Book on Public Speaking.

    This book is part of the Ki Publishing Self-Development Series.
    Brian Sewell is a professional classical musician, and the first person in the UK to be awarded the stannding of 'Distinguished Toastmaster' by Toastmasters Inc. He teaches public speaking at Morley College, Central London. Morley College is an adult education college, near Waterloo Station, with an open enrolement policy.

    Brian himself explains the motivation behind his book ...
    “What I really love is taking a timid person, preferably one with a phobia about Public Speaking (as on a recent course I ran for Westminster Adult Education Service) and within one session cause them not only to forget how to get nervous but to so enjoy getting up to speak that it becomes a natural and easy part of their life -

    “A tall New Zealand chap had to do a Best Man speech and was wetting himself about it for weeks beforehand. He came to several sessions (four six hour workshops) and the feedback went like this - “you made getting up to speak to lots of people as easy as getting up to do the washing up! - I wouldn’t have believed that I could enjoy making 120 people laugh for twenty minutes – but that’s what happened, I can’t thank you enough!”

    “That really gives me a buzz – like the girl (18 years old) whom I helped with a performance phobia - “I haven’t enjoyed playing the violin like that for ten years!” Just imagine – a talented girl so scared of playing that she literally shook with fear, went icy cold so that she couldn’t feel her hands and played really badly, after one session, she controlled her nerves, loved playing to around 200 people and only shook with relief afterwards, having performed beautifully, to everyone’s surprise, including her violin teacher. .... Maybe I’ve got something here ....”



    The Elizabeth Thoms Clark Archive,

    is exclusive to Ki Publishing.

    The Archive has been edited by retired teacher, John Bruce Cairns, after a long correspondence with the poet.

    Betty Clark, whose entry in the British Dictionary of National Biography, is corrected and complemented by the Elizabeth Thoms Clark entry in Wikipedia, which is a result of that correspondence. "Correspondence" (UK ISBN N0-9542616-5-8) is one of two books, and is the story of how Betty Clark's wish to be a published writer is fulfilled. The second book (UK ISBN NO 0-9542616-4-X) called "The Book", is the case study by a child of his mother, the culmination of which is a scene that gives her a reason for living until the book should come to be written.

    Elizabeth Thoms Clark was a love poet and writer of sensibility, which was how she characterized herself. She was not really concrete in her poems, akin to Virginia Woolf and to Sylvia Plath, but was, like them, a semi-feminist.

  • The archivist, John Bruce Cairns, is a founder and a leading light in the environmental campaign group Richmond Trees. richmondtrees@hotmail.com aims to enforce the original Act of Parliament covering the use of the land, and, members of Richmond Trees are insisting that the Council preserve the views along the Thames Towpath at Ham.
