Microdosing for health, healing, and enhanced performance / by Fadiman, James,1939-author.; Gruber, Jordan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."James Fadiman and his coauthor, Jordan Gruber, have written the first comprehensive book on microdosing, using new research, answering questions about how to select among the most common microdosed substances, how and when they can be used, and potential benefits. Microdosing can be a safe and powerful performance enhancer and approach to a wide range of health conditions. Fadiman--who was responsible for modern microdosing's development and current popularity--and Gruber answer hundreds of questions, blending extensive research with detailed personal accounts from contributors worldwide. The book also contains wide-ranging microdosing history, research, and science. Using microdosing, people have successfully: alleviated the symptoms of depression, ADHD, chronic pain, and long COVID; achieved enhanced focus, mental acuity, and physical abilities; helped taper off pharmaceuticals, especially antidepressants and stimulants; improved food habits, sleep, and relationships; become more aware of personal habit patterns, others' feelings, and natural surroundings; reduced stress and anxiety; and helped with numerous other health and wellness concerns.

Disturbing the dead / by Armstrong, Kelley,author.;
"Victorian Scotland is becoming less strange to modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson. Though inhabiting someone else's body will always be unsettling, even if her employers know that she's not actually housemaid Catriona Mitchell, ever since the night both of them were attacked in the same dark alley 150 years apart. Mallory likes her job as assistant to undertaker/medical examiner Dr. Duncan Gray, and is developing true friends--and feelings--in this century. So, understanding the Victorian fascination with death, Mallory isn't that surprised when she and her friends are invited to a mummy unwrapping at the home of Sir Alastair Christie. When their host is missing when it comes time to unwrap the mummy, Gray and Mallory are asked to step in. And upon closer inspection, it's not a mummy they've unwrapped, but a much more modern body"--
