Wow!! That is about summing it up!
Caroline Myss is an incredible revolutionary Mystic, with intellegence, practicality and a sense of humor. I bought this CD because I was suffering from Depression. It really is a Mind blowing CD. She really taps into a deeper, more meaninful part of ourselves. She answers some very interesting questions with incredible wisdom and insight. Why do some people heal, and not others? Is healing possible? Are some people "Hooked" on staying stuck in their disease? Why do some live and some die from their ailments? Why do people get sick in the first place?
Very Helpful Information
I listened to the book on tape of Caroline Myss' Personal Healing. This is the first time I have heard her speak. I was not familiar with her ideas at all before this.
Excellent brief overview of her ideas
Caroline Myss is very well known as a medical intuitive and lecturer on healing in general and practical applications of spiritual principles.Read more

Review of Textbook of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
For me, this textbook is probably one of the worst books for natural health professionals that I have come accross. The 33 chapters cover some very basic concepts, but are generally too vague and often don't display a real understanding of the natural therapies involved that could be useful for natural (and perhaps also medical) practitioners. Each chapter contains loads of references, however, it appears as if some of the authors may not be too familiar with many of their own references quoted. As was stated in the Preface, the book may be useful for medical physicians who want to know the very basics of CAM, but may be of little further use for any other type of health practitioner.

Yes, it's a 'monumental' work, but only from the perspective of someone that values the meaning of an Ayurvedic Science in terms of the accumulated information... A beginners perspective
As a recent discoverer of Ayurveda, I have purchased and read a number of books on Ayurveda from many of the well known teachers and scholars of the topic. These have all been fine but generally very narrow in their focus. There are other publicatons I have chosen to leave on the shelf that appear to be folks just "jumping on the bandwagon". The Ayurveda Encyclopidia
I found this book extremely helpful in both discovering my doshas, and using the information to improve my health. This book describes the traditional indian healing for harmony and health. ... Read more

Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver
This is an essential book for Hep C.I have used the herbal protocol for 8 months and brought my viral load down to 69,000 and it is still dropping.Before I read this book, I had almost convinced myself that traditional treatment was the only way, even with its horrible side effects.Now, I am so glad that I found this book, contacted Dry Creek Herb Farm (referenced in the book) and started my daily herb treatments.The only side effect of the herb is that they don't taste very good, but with the results I have had they are starting to taste pretty good.The cost is very affordable also.Thank you Stephen Harrod Buhrner and Dry Creek Herb Farm.

Invaluable knowledge for those with HCV
This book is incredible.The natural remedies and diet choices along with supplement/vitamin advice is like visiting a top notch herbologist/naturopath who specializes in Hepatitis C. I own severalbooks on the topic, but nothing compares to the wise, straighforward andwarmly written text by these folks! Do yourself a favor and start feelingbetter soon!Buy this book today!

Save Your Life: Buy This Book
I have hepatitis C and I've read everything there is on it. This book is the best I have seen. It offers hope for those with hepatitis c with a look at the most important herbs, supplements, and foods to heal hep c. Theclinical trial research supporting these herbs is incredible. Buhner is agreat writer and shows tremendous control of his subject. If you or a lovedone suffers from this disease you can't afford not to buy this book. It cansave your life.

Finally, a doctor who understands healing!
This book is the only one I've found that includes the whole battery of medical options for patients and doctors alike.Dr. Diamond's insights are original and well developed--this is not way out there medicine, but rather thoroughly research cutting edge healing. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in changing medicine for the better. ... Read more

It's a Wonderful Work
This concept of holism created by Jan Christiaan Smuts is a wonderful contribution to our understanding of life and the natural universe.As testimony to his work, the holistic approach to life permeates many parts of our society today in ways which help us live peaceful and fulfilling lives.
Holism and Evolution with Sanford Holst 's Editing
Holism and Evolution by Jan Christiaan Smuts, originally published in 1926, is one of the great and authentic visionary classics of the 20th century, and I highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject of holism, evolution, and integral philosophy. This book is not only one of the harbingers of today's holistic and integral movements but also continues to provide us with deep insights and powerful inspirations.

PERFECT!
What a SUPERB release. This is my medicinal herbal bible; it's quite complete, very nice graphics, and is easy to understand. It sits right next to my magickal herb books and has been an invaluable reference. HIGHLY recommended.
One of the Best
I own a later 2002 version of the 1996 book. Except for cover design the content has remained very much the same. That is one of the best available books on herbs and herbology. It shows the herb with a color photograph for those unfamiliar with what each herb looks like. It gives a detailed description of the herb amd exact formulas of how to use it singularly or in combination.There are other features like how to cultivate and dry the herbs and how it relates to a body system. One of the Best herb books available

Well organized information, great pictures
The pictures and profiles on the herbs are a pleasure to read and look at. I would have given the book 5 stars, but there is a dearth of safety information for some herbs (e.g. comfrey, coltsfoot, lily of the valley, sassafras)which I feel is a serious omission. Someone just starting to learn about herbs may start consuming them on a regular basis before coming across the safety information elsewhere. Also, in the section on body systems, the recommended herbal recipes are accompanied by symbols which are not explained anywhere in the text (or if they are, the explanation is very well hidden because I can't find it!) Other than that, the book contains a great introduction to how the body's various systems work and also a lot of common sense advice on optimizing health (not just illness prevention). The philosophy of herbal treatment (treating the whole person as opposed to treating a symptom or a disease) is nicely discussed. Also the therapeutic index makes it easy to find herbs that you can try for specific health needs. A nice addition to the herbal library as long as you have other books that offer the safety info that this one lacks! ... Read more

Good Natural Meds Advice-Written by the Unexperienced
I bought this book the day before writing this. I was very disappointed because it's written from the perspective of two people, one a teacher of ADHD kids and the other an herbalist who are not parents or have ADHD themselves-so how would they know? They don't. As a ADHD person with a ADHD kid whose father has it too, I have enough blame placed upon me without reading a book that says my child needs more hugs, that we need to cut off the t.v.-she's too hyper to watch it, and that both parents and teachers have failed ADHD kids. It's a case of people thinking they know what is wrong with ADHD kids without truly knowing. My daughter has a double dose and has always been a handful since she was one. They are saying that parents shouldn't take the words of the teachers and parents shouldn't want their kids labeled. Most parents are like me, have been dragging their kids to the peditrician since they were very young begging for someone to listen. I didn't need a teacher to confirm what I knew along time ago. I am though trying the natural approach to ADHD and it works 70 to 80% of the time. I am still working on the right combination though. From the point of view of an herbal approach to ADHD, I appreciate it for giving even more choices than I had, but from the point of view of understanding ADHD, they have not a clue! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Required reading for anyone touched by cancer.
Dr. Simon's book addresses many of the issues that are so often not dealt with by modern conventional cancer treatment centers.Too often cancer patient feel as if their real needs are not being met by doctors and hospitals.Dr. Simon focuses on treating the person, not just the diseasse.His books creates an entirely new perspective for the cancer patient by simply remembering that they are a person.He addresses the emotional issues cancer patients face as well as treatments for common side effects caused by conventional treatment.His advice on nutrition, sensory tools for healing, and assessing alternative treatment modalities is easily succint, but very insightful. Futthermore, his five day seminar lets you explore these issues much deeper.Realizing that I am much more than the sum of my phsyical parts is an important gift that Dr. Simon has helped to give me.

Quality life with Cancer
This phenomenal book is a must have in a library of self-care literature.It reads easily and resonates with truth, leaving a profound impact. I recently returned from a week seminar with Dr. David Simon at the Deepak Chopra Wellness Institute in La Jolla,CA.My personal experience was transformational.I not only walked away with concrete, tangible tools to work with my cancer, I also deepened my relationship with myself and was taught many loving ways to embrace and empower myself through this difficult time in my life. Comprehensive
Dr. Simon has shared insights into healing that take into account the coventional and integrative approaches to healthcare. He reminds us that we have entered into a phase of medicine that needs to consider a person's conscious awareness of health, so the appropriate modalities of care can be administered. David Simon utilizes eastern and western knowledge to make his work thorough and comprehensive. He takes into account the need for practicioners to be sensetive to the direction(s) a patient finds meaningful in their movement toward wholeness. This emphasis on consciousness incorporated in healthcare is a movement toward modern medicine paralleling the evolution of our time.I also recommend: What the Dying Teach Us: Lessons on Living by Samuel Oliver ...
