Inspirational
This is a beautiful, heartfelt book by one of the pioneers of complementary medicine.I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is involved in any kind of healing work, whether professional or otherwise.I have personally found it a major inspiration for my own work.

Thought-provoking - A book for the healer in all of us.
This book has changed the way I think about my home, myself and my life. The style is lovely and clear ... the poems concise and down-to-earth ... and the prose just as fine! Dr. John Diamond's discussion of the concept of"sanctuary" touched me, making me cry. And his views on thehealing power, waiting to be released in all of us and everything, inspireme. The book is also nicely produced (as with Dr. Diamond's edition ofBlake's poems, the cover of this book is a thing of beauty by itself.) ... Read more

A terrific, helpful, upbeat,, and well researched book
This is a terrific book: upbeat, entertaining, well-researched, and helpful beyond words. It is filled with documented stories about patients who either recovered from incurable diseases or greatly exceeded their life expectancies. Most of the stories are about people with cancer, but some are about those with AIDS and multiple sclerosis.
Wonderful stories -- challenging ideas
Marc Barasch and Caryle Hirshberg collected stories of "spontaneous remissions" -- miraculous cures and recoveries from all over the world.Mostly from cancer, but also from MS and other conditions.When possible, they interviewed the survivors, their families and their doctors. Remarkable Recovery, What Extraordinary Healins Tell Us Abou
This book came highly recommended to me because my husband has Multiple Sclerosis. I was instantly captured by the title alone. As I dove deeper, I realized these "remarkable recovery" case studies could be my husband. I gained a great deal of insight about beliefs I already had, yet was struggling to fit them into our lives to help my husband heal, to help him get better, and hopefully some day, fully recover.

A unique, invaluable contribution to ocular medicine.
In Healing The Eye The Natural Way: Alternative Medicine And MacularDegeneration, homeopath and board certified ophthalmologist Dr. EdwardKondrot offers readers a twelve-step guide to improving their visionthrough vitamin and nutritional therapy, homeopathy, micro-currentstimulation, and chelation therapy. Healing The Eye The Natural Way is aunique and invaluable contribution to the growing library of alternativemedicine in general, and vision related medical issues in particular.

Fantastic New Hope for Those with Macular Degeneration
I was absolutely delighted to read Dr. Kondrot's book Healing the Eye the Natural Way.I am a Family Physician, a Homeopathic Doctor, and I have a family history of macular degeneration.This book helps me on all three ofthose levels.This book presents a sensible and rational,multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to eye health and particularly tomacular degenaration.We need more information like that found in thisbook.

Revolutionary Treatments for Macular Degeneration
Given that it is estimated that 13 million Americans are to suffer from Age-Related Macular Degeneration, it is time that someone from the field of medicine step forward into the realm of natural medicine and give us hope.In this book, Dr. Kondrot introduces an alternative approach to help healmacular degeneration at a time that conventional medicine does not havemuch to offer patients with this diagnosis.Dr. Kondrot has introduced hisapproach in three main parts in the book.In the first section he teachesthe value of a healthy diet, balanced exercise, and stress management.Inthe 2nd section, he recommends additional nutritional and eye specificherbal supplements to support circulatory and nervous system.And finallyin the 3rd section, three revolutionary techniques are introduced:classical homeopathy, chelation therapy and micro-current stimulation. Most of us have herad of chelation therapy in relation to treating heavymetal toxicity or cardiovascular disorders.The idea of chelation therapyas a treatment for macular degeneration will strike most readers as quitenovel.Likewise, many will not have heard of Microcurrent Stimulation, anadaption of TENS unit used for pain management, to stimulate eyecirculation.In classical homeopathy, a correct constitutional remedy isuseful in healing the person as a whole and can bring miraculous outcomewhen combined with the rest of the mentioned therapies.Patienttestimonials are especially compelling. Readers will find this book easyto read because of its' simple language, slightly oversized font and roomypage layout.In addition the upbeat, and friendly tone providesencouragement and support for the readers in the healing process. Resources are helpful to acquire the mentioned products.It is wonderfulto know that the material in this book is compiled from years of work anddedication of a respected specialist who has dared to go the distance inthis field. ...

You need this book!
If you or a loved one are struggling with a serious illness, you need this book. Judith is a long time personal friend who has managed to survive two devastating cancers for years. As a mystic and spiritual leader, Judith had to summon every tool, connection, friend and realization in her vast arsonal. She has poured her heart and soul into this work, personally testing each prayer, technique, exercise, visualization, and tool during her own dark nights. Never underestimate the power of prayer. One of my favorite parts of this book is reading how Judith could feel my prayers of love and how much they meant to her. Having triumphed from serious illness myself and survived the ravages of my husband's death from cancer, this is all too familiar territy. Judith's book is a powerful masterpiece that contains tried and true remedies for any situation, remedies that have lifted heavy hearts and weary souls during the most devastating times. ...

Excellent. My compliments to the author.
There are plenty of books that seek to inspire by sharing personal experience, but Topf takes this that one needed step further by giving good and valid steps toward regaining one's spiritual and emotional balance. Such a topic is quite an undertaking. Writing for anyone for a chronic illness can be quite difficult. Topf handles her material with knowledge, compassion, equanimity, and grace. Thank you.

So Much to Digest!
A friend of mine met Linda Noble Topf on an airplane one day. He liked her and recommended to me that I buy her book because of a major life crisis I was experiencing at the time. The reading was slow going but her experiences encouraged and inspired me. It helped me realize that in the scope of life, there was a light at the end of the tunnel of my troubles. In fact, compared to others like Noble Topf, my tunnel was pretty short. The difficult reading may have been because there was so much to digest. It's almost a manual on coping and surviving. Definitely not summer beach material, but worth having on my bookshelf to go back and revisit occasionally.

Doctor, heal thyself.
Being a doctor myself, I bought this book with great anticipation.I expected to glean some insight into the medical profession that I had not come across as of yet.However, what I found was the memoirs of a very insecure person.I don't want readers to come away from this book assuming that all doctors have gone through 4 divorces and have been addicted to drugs.I found this book to be full of cliches and poor poetry.I got so tired of it all that I stopped reading halfway.If you do buy this book, please remember not to generalize about the rest of us.

Dr. Farber's Psychotherapy
A worthy effort for a non-writer.More of a work of catharsis than anything else.There is a lot of repetition in this book; some sentences are repeated verbatim a few paragraphs later.The poems are atrocious.As a fellow physician and Baylor grad, I applaud the fact that he has overcome some tremendous obstacles in his life (albeit many self-inflicted).His patients are lucky to have him.I wish him well.
