Zero O'Clock
For sixteen-year-old Geth Montego, zero o’clock begins on March 11, 2020. By June, she wonders if it will ever end. “An insightful, eye-opening, and inventive story. C.J. Farley has penned a novel that sheds an important light on real issues facing young people today.” —Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give In early March 2020 in New Rochelle, New York, teenager Geth Montego is fumbling with the present and uncertain about her future. She only has three friends: her best friend Tovah, who’s been acting weird ever since they started applying to college; Diego, who she wants to ask to prom; and the K-pop band BTS, because the group always seems to be there for her when she needs them (at least in her head). She could use some help now. Geth’s small city becomes one of the first COVID-19 containment zones in the US. As her community is upended by the virus and stirred up by the growing Black Lives Matter protests, Geth faces a choice and a question: Is she willing to risk everything to fight for her beliefs? And if so, what exactly does she believe in? C.J. Farley captures a moment in spring 2020 no teenager will ever forget. It sucks watching the world fall apart. But sometimes you have to start from zero.

An old saying says that a patient will become a good doctor after a long illness. This book tells the true story how an asthmatic with a 20-year history and severe symptom finally freed himself by using Sensitivity-Stability (S-S) therapy created by himself. By recording his condition for 9 years, he discovered a decisive impetus for the asthma attacks. By wearing a special respirator for 72 days, he ascertained the impetus was not inhaling allergens, but allergic constitution. Asthma is caused by increased sensitivity-hormone secretions and decreased stability-hormone (corticoid) secretions. Asthma patients can completely return to normal life by taking a compensatory dosage of corticoid to a correct ratio of sensitivity-hormone value to stability-hormone value. So long as the dosage is sufficiently close to the deficiency of the natural corticoid secretion and is regulated chronobiologically, the symptom will disappear without side effects. The theoretical basis of the therapy is his S-S hyothesis in which a two-dimensional S-S system regulating immune condition was built up. The hypothesis can not only explain the mechanism of asthma but can also explain the negative correlation between allergy and cancer. This book gives an entire set of therapeutic techniques tried on author's body for more than 30 years. In the third year of the therapy he returned to normal life and in the 14th year he broke the record of jogging 13 km in 98 minutes. In his 30th year, he saw the first light of dawn, a natural recovery.
