Chelation and other therapies
Maybe if C.M. Abratte read the book: Politics in Healing by Daniel Haley (Former NY State Assemblyman), commented by Berkley Bedell (Former Congressman), and read the Fitzgerald Report by Benedict Fitzgerald of the US Dept. of Justice to the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee 1953, he/she would understand why the so-called scientific studies can't be trusted. It is very eye-opening and enraging reading, which IS BACKED UP BY COURT (of law) DOCUMENTS!!
EDTA does not work.
This book is complete nonsense and quackery.Supporters of chelation therapy claim that "numerous" scientific studies have been conducted "proving" the efficacy of EDTA therapy.Anybody with half a brain and the research skills of a 5th grader can tell you that these studies don't exist.What does exist is a mountain of anecdotal evidence that is thrown in our face to distract us from the paucity of hard evidence from clinically controlled randomized studies.
Chelaton Reading Resource of the Best
Of the several books and articles I have read about chelation therapy, this one is the best. It is perhaps not for the 101 lesson, as it is a bit more technical, so much so that medical doctors can read it with interest. It has many references to studies and background facts. Its a Bible on Chelation.

Great text to learn chiropractic technique
I recently graduated chiropractic college and found this book to be one of the main sources to help me learn chiropractic technique.The pictures are great.It shows you how to set up and what the direction of torque is.I used this to study for the National Boards Part 2, 3 and 4.It also has a great section on how show how to translate a PRS-SP Gonstead listing into a National or Medicare listing.This section alone helped me a lot on the boards.I also used the following study guides for the preparing for the Chiropractic National Boards: "The Book Rules"
Ok, I have not "yet" finished Dr. Bergman's compilation.However, I must say that I have a unique insight into its origins, namely its editor, Thomas Bergmann.As a student of Northwestern Health Sciences University, I am privilaged to attend Dr. Bergmann's Methods III lecture and laboratory several times a week.I also am fortunate enough to sit in on his Principles and Philosophy of Chiropractic lectures.These experiences have taught me a great deal about Chiropractic science and practice in just a short few weeks as a trimester 3/10 student here at NWHS.I have learned a lot so far and continue to learn more every day.I believe Dr. bergmann to be a giant in the field of Chiropractic Technique.While my opinion may be swayed a bit and my history in the field limited, this is my opinion.Don't believe me?Buy the book!!!!!!!

Basic Chiropractic technique made easy...
This book is in use for the Chiropractic course in Odense, Denmark, as a textbook on chiropractic technique in the 5.th and 6.th semester of the 10 semester university programme. Great book with nice illustrations, allthough there are a few mistakes or typing errors. This is a great book for teaching manipulative therapy. ... Read more

Medical Herbalism, David Hoffmann
This is a fantastic resource for students and the like. It has a great layout, incorporating illnesses and body systems, herbal actions, a materia medica and many other great categories. It is well referenced and uses a wide range of information.

Medical Herbalism:great resource
This book was assigned as a part of a Master's Program in Holistic Health.It is comprehensive and overall a great resource book.Hoffmann covers a wide range of topics in depth.In class, we were amazed how one person could write such a voluminous resource.However, if you are looking for specific "recipes" to make, this would not be the book.It will direct you to appropriate plants/herbs to use.I highly recommend this book.You will think twice about common weeds in your yard- all plants have a medicinal use.

A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Remedies for Women
After years of experiencing excruciating periods, I was diagnosed with endometriosis.I have been searching for months to find natural alternatives to hormone therapy and another laparascopy.I found it in this book.It contains more information on endometriosis than any other resource I have looked through.It also provides thorough dietary suggestions and nutritional supplements.It offers an alternative to the more extreme therapies. The best book available on natural medicine for women
This is an exceptionally well-researched and well-written book covering the most common medical problems for women, how to prevent them and how to treat them the natural way.I am particularly impressed with the author'sbroad knowledge of biochemistry, medical conditions and her reliance onhard data from published studies.If you're tired of the side-effects ofchemical drugs you'll find plenty of sound advice and alternative therapiesbacked up by scrupulous research. This is a great stand-alone volume on thesubject but it also complements other books on women's medical conditionswritten from traditional medical viewpoints. ... Read more

Suprisingly Pleased
I was skeptical at first when I ordered this CD.I never used a hypnosis CD before and wasn't sure it would work.After using it for the first few days, I started to feel a change from within me, and my confidence in certain areas has improved.The voice of Glenn Harrold is relaxing and has the ring of a trusted friend or collegue.I would suggest Glenn Harrold's recordings to those of you who may question using hypnotic recordings.I've purchased his "Financial Abundance" and "Weight Loss" as well.Both are very good.As a certified health and fitness instructor, the Weight Loss recording is nice as well.

Great Guided Hypnosis CD
The "Develop your Self-Confidence" CD, by the UK's best selling hypnotherapist Glenn Harrold, is excellent - a very professional production.
Review in Creations magazine by Kennedy Hassett
When I find something extraordinarily produced, finely tuned and highly beneficial, I just have to pass it on to you all. A few issues back I reviewed his UNLEASH YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL hypnosis CD and was blown away. The engineer of such inner landscaping has a cornucopia of hypnotic treats for creating wholistic health and well-being that bear honorable mention. Read more

Great Book!
This is just a great book.It has helped me understand the origins of Reiki and has enhanced my working knowledge of Reiki. The style is easy to read and is laced with humour.

Very good source and a fresh new look at Reiki
I would highly recommend any of Petters books. Though I cannot say that I always agree with his opinions, I can say that what Excellent book for beginners and those experienced in Reiki
This is one of the best books on Reiki I have read. Some past reviewers have given negative reviews for reasons that are not true. Recent research has dispelled the traditional history Takata spread about Usui being a Christian and other myths. Frank Arjava Petter was one of the forerunners in seeking the true historical background behind Reiki. This book gives an authentic portrayal of Reiki, its history, and its healing capabilities. Useful techniques are given beyond the average Reiki book. While Reiki is not Qigong per say, it resembles it in many ways and indeed could be termed a "lazy man's Qigong" as the author states. This is one of the most real authors I have ever read on Reiki who says it like it is. He shows himself to be as human as the rest of us and ever striving in spiritual aspiration. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Reiki and as a perfect supplement for those starting with this wonderful healing modality. Coming from a skeptic, Reiki does work and this book will add much richness to your Reiki experience. Wish I could give it more than five stars! ... Read more

Good for me, maybe for you too...
I have this book and when I followed my diet I lost 12 lbs in 3 months and about 6 or more inches. I didn't think it was too too hard to follow...the hot herbal tea was a little different but drinkable. The great thing about this diet is that no special food products need to be bought and there are great recipes included in the back for each body type. I didn't even follow the diet too strictly and I still saw results. It was great for me so maybe it could work for you too.

Never has a health book felt so tailored to my needs!
I picked up my first copy of this book several years ago, only to have that and the next 3 copies I obtained for myself 'stolen' by friends and relatives who were amazed at the individual diet/nutrition plans geared toward each body type found in this book.
This diet works !

Highly recommended
This book was recommended by my midwife during my pregnancy. The author has a way with words, what would normally be a somewhat boring topic is very intriguing in this book. The information it contains is invaluable and I would recommend this book to all women in their childbearing years as a guide to a healthy pregnancy.

vital!
i can not tell you how important this book is.......
Wow-Inspiration & an awesome reference for pregnant herbalists
I am a novice herbalist, not an expert by any means, but herbs are definitely my first choice when it comes to helping me or my family's body's deal with infection, boosting health, etc.However, when it came to pregnancy I was stumped with what was safe and what is not.This book really answered a lot of questions as to what is great to take to nurture the pregnancy as well as what to take if there are problems encountered. I was also VERY impressed and influenced by Romm's perspective on women taking back their right to deal with their pregnancy as a natural occurrence rather than the way western medicine deals with it almost as a sickness. In addition this book inspired me to utilize the help of a midwife rather than a M.D. during my next pregnancy.I absolutely recommend this to women who are seeking to be pregnant or are already pregnant and wish to utilize alternative natural means to aid your pregnancy. ...

I am a Clinical Nutritionist and have just about every greatbook written.. Recently I purchased this fantastic book andfeel as though I can sell all of my other books on Health and Nutrition.

Worsley Followers Pay Attention ...
Unschuld is a scholar, a genuine translator that doesn't leave much to the imagination.His understanding of the cultural contexts (as there are many) in which TCM grew are un-matched in terms of written text.Get his books, if not for the honest look he takes at TCM, but for the fact that his works are the bread and butter of TCM.The gross ignorance of the classics among so called "Doctors of TCM" in the western world is amazing.Don't guess about TCM, either learn to read Chinese or get good translations of the classics.Not pocket translations at a American grade five reading level.If we expect people to view us as Doctors, we should study like one.
Milestone
This book is a milestone for those of us who wish to understand Chinese medicine. As others have noted, this is not a translation of the Su Wen, but a thorough commentary. I consider it a necessary introduction before attempting to read the translation. Once Unschuld's translation is released, I will feel more prepared to grasp the meaning behind the text. Unschuld is an expert in this field and I'm not sure what a previous reviewer meant by self appointed. I think his experience, education, previous works, and position as director of his academic department speak for themselves! If you wish to go deeper into your understanding of the medicine, buy this book!

Lost in the Contradictions of Misunderstanding
Robert Feld is welcome to embrace Unschuld's highly scholarly, hard to read, disjointed text. My primary point is that this is NOT the Nei Jing, it is not the text, it is not readable as such, and it is not a guide for would-be doctors interested in practicing based on Nei Jing. That much should be more clear in the description of the book, but it is not. It should be called "Essays on Nei Jing."Read more

Color Medicine
It's a well written book, but so it should be, based on all the information that is taken from Dinshahs'initial work on light therapy over 50 years ago.You can get copies of Dinshahs' material "cheap" from their website...Dinshahs' work was well ahead of its time.It's too bad certain organizations are"still" threatened by his work even though it was an array of doctors who had written most of the original testimonials backing up his work."Color Medicine" is mostly Dinshahs' work with some good added info. on the healing powers of sound. It's nice to know a modern book acknowledges Dinshahs' work as opposed to many other "Color" books that don't.

Color Medicine
Excellent book. Easy to understand and use.

Short and to the point.
This book expains color and it's use for healing. How colors effect us, and how they can be used for the betterment of man. What I really like about this book is that he tells specifically how to usecolor forhealing. Alot of books just give you theory, without instructions on how toaccomplish, what is being talked about. ... Read more

The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course Produces Amazing Results
The Self Hypnosis Home Study Course is a comprehensive and effective program about learning self hypnosis. It includes; six CD's of course work, a 107 page workbook, and the hypnotic apothecary (ten CD's of trancework).
The Secret to Inner Peace!
This is absolutely the most enlightening work I have ever heard in my entire life! A tour de force, destined to become a classic bigger than A Course in Miracles, Dr Gurgevich's ground-breaking Self-Hypnosis Home Study Course is the definitive work on hypnosis, dispelling the many misconceptions that surround it (most notably the idea that hypnosis is done to you by someone else--Not So!) as well as teaching us to heal ourselves! Dr. Gurgevich explains in the first 6 audio CDs of The Course and the lovely book, that all hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis. There is no going under or going out, but simply a gentle journey inward, like a daydream.

Very Good book for orthopedics class and chiro boards
This was a recommended text in my chiropractic college for my orthopedics class.I found the illustrations very helpful with learning the orthopedic tests which seemed so overwhelming at first.I kept practicing these tests with my friends before the lab test and got good grades.The national boards do use this text as a reference, I highly recommend using this book to study for the boards for either Part II, III, or IV.For x-ray portions of boards -more so in Part III and IV---I highly recommend Skeletal Radiology by Terry Yochum.This is a definite must buy as well as Patrick Leonardi's National Board of Chiropractic Part II, Part III and Part IV study guides.The questions were great and helped me to concentrate on the important topics of high yield questions asked on the boards.Thanks Terry Yochum, Patrick Leonardi and Ronald Evans for making my life much easier in chiropractic school and on the boards. ...

Good choice
Easy to read, very effective, lots of color pictures of Iris, it has an improve iridology chart design by the author, lots of iris examples and analysis. I will recommended.

For Your Eyes Only: A Fascinating Look at the Art and Science of Iris Diagnosis, the Diagnosis Method of the New Millennium
The perfect book to begin iridodiagnosis, although it's quite basic.
For your Eyes Only
This is a most facinating book, I originally bought it because I had read Franks other book on Bowen therapy and I was really interested in what he had to say. This book is so well written that even an ordinary person like me can understand what he has to say. I was able to get my head round what Frank says within a day and then use the book for reference. This book is not just about iridology (though that is what it is mainly about)but it has a section in it about how the body heals and the stages it goes through to do this. The book is in full colour and with lots of photographic examples and of course the iridology maps. Frank has an egerness to share his knowledge with the world, and through his easy to read style I am sure he will reach and teach every one who reads his work. ... Read more

Chiropractor cracks the New Age Blame Game
Alternative medicine hits the mainstream as more people integrate and use complementary methods to restore and replenish well-being. The challenge arises when someone uses the new age blame game to force some kind of healing. A common example is when a person diagnosed with cancer is told by some holistic practitioner that they caused it. Maybe yes, maybe no, and this book provides some grounded advice on the matter. Quacks abound in the realm of metaphysical healing and Dr. Epstein offers wisdom to tell genuine assistance from downright silliness. We are repsonsible only for our own behavior and not anyone else. If you are into the whole mind-body scene on well-being this is a great guide to separating myth from fact and staying grounded by keeping yout intellect in place. Many people throw their intellect out the door when entering an intutive phase ... and this is a costly mistake. Dr. Epstein gives a blend of intellect and intuition as he cracks the common myths around healing.

Provoking, Challenging, Yet Easy To Read!
I highly recommend Donald Epstein's most readable book, Healing Myths, Healing Magic. What an eye opener!
This is a book that will be useful to both health practitionners as well as patients.The book challenges us to look at our body, mind and spirit in a new way.I discovered that what I was thought in school and what I hadlearned in life through countless hours of studying and post doctoral workcan be repositionned in a new way.This book is a shift of paradigm on manylevels. ...
