Press Release! New Thai Yoga Book: SOMAVEDA® HEALING PROTOCOLS

SomaVeda® Healing Protocols Textbook by Ajahn, Dr. Anthony B. James

New Textbook Empowers Healthcare Providers and Individuals with Evidence-Informed, Holistic Strategies Rooted in Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

[Brooksville, Florida – October 25, 2025] — In a world where over 80% of the global population relies on traditional and complementary medicine for primary healthcare—according to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates—comes a timely resource addressing the lingering impacts of COVID-19, vaccines, and boosters. We are thrilled to announce the release of “SOMAVEDA® HEALING PROTOCOLS: Natural Recovery After COVID, Vaccines, and Boosters with Ayurveda, Thai Yoga, Integrative Medicine and Protocols to Reclaim Health” (ISBN: 979-8359022765), a pioneering textbook co-authored by Dr. Anthony B. James, ND(T), MD(AM), OMD, RAAP, and Dr. Benoit Tano, MD, PhD. This comprehensive guide is now available for purchase on Amazon: Purchase Link: https://amzn.to/42W3gmm).

Drawing on the synergistic power of SomaVeda Integrated Traditional Therapies®, a U.S.-patented system blending Indigenous Traditional Thai Yoga, Ayurveda, Marma Chikitsa (vital point therapy), and evidence-based integrative approaches—the book provides step-by-step protocols for symptom relief, immune restoration, and holistic recovery. Tailored for physicians, naturopaths, yoga therapists, and wellness practitioners, it tackles common post-viral challenges such as chronic fatigue, inflammation, neurological fog, and autoimmune flares through non-invasive, culturally resonant methods. With only 61% of the global population accessing reliable modern healthcare services in 2022 (WHO data), this resource bridges the gap, emphasizing accessible, patient-centered strategies that honor the 6.4 billion people worldwide who turn to traditional systems for vitality and resilience.

“This book is more than a recovery manual—it’s a blueprint for reclaiming sovereignty over one’s health in an era of unprecedented medical complexity,” said Dr. Anthony B. James, Grand Master of Thai Traditional Ayurveda and Dean of the American College of Natural Medicine. “By integrating ancient protocols like Thai Yoga Therapy and Marma Chikitsa with contemporary Integrative Immunology, we empower individuals to address root causes, not just symptoms, fostering true healing and prevention.”

Dr. Benoit Tano MD, PhD, a board-certified allergist-immunologist and founder of Integrative Immunity Health System, adds, “Post-COVID and vaccine-related immune dysregulation affects millions, often overlooked by conventional models. Our protocols leverage probiotics, peptides, and Ayurvedic balancing to restore harmony, drawing from my 25+ years in allergy and hormone optimization. This collaboration with Dr. James exemplifies integrative medicine’s potential to transform chronic illness into opportunity.”

Key highlights of the 300+ page volume include:

– Diagnostic Frameworks: Tools to assess dosha imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and biopathy (energetic armoring) in post-viral contexts.

– Hands-On Protocols: Over 50 illustrated SomaVeda® techniques, including pranic healing, lymphatic drainage, and Homeopuncture for pain reversal and vitality.

– Immune Mastery Strategies: Insights on postbiotics, peptides, and herbal synergies, informed by Dr. Tano’s expertise in mast cell activation and histamine intolerance.

– Case Studies and Evidence: Real-world applications from NAIC Natural Wellness Solutions Tribal Wellness Center, supporting WHO’s call for TCIM integration in national health systems.

Published by Meta Journal Press, the book aligns with the WHO’s 2025–2034 Global Traditional Medicine Strategy and advocates for an equitable, evidence-based fusion of ancient and modern care. It builds on Grand Master Dr. James’s 42+ years as the first Western Ajahn (Master Teacher-Professor) recognized by the Royal Thai Government and Dr. Tano’s global lectures for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).
