AWESOME
I aced my test by over 40 points, what can I say????This book worked wonders!I read through it once and then made flashcards in the week before the test on things I did not know the first time I read through it.The author does a great job of covering everything!This is all you need to ace your test!!!

This Study Guide is Awesome...
I just the test on October 6th for the first time since graduating this year.I studied this book a week before I took the NCE and passed.Before studying this book I used audio CDs which were offered by NCE but was not all that helpful like this book.This book really helped me out and the way the information is presented in this book is really helpful when taking the actual test.

Helpful. I passed the Exam...
I passed the counselor's exam by studying primarily the information in this book. Of course, you will need to refer back to some of your school books but this is a very helpful book. ... Read more

Great contents, but
Bid a new set from ebay and it arrived in two boxes. It has great contents, but:
Finest compilation of the writings of the most brilliant minds over the centuries past ever
These books were first published in 1952.Only 500 sets were published that year, a Private Library Collection it was called, and sold for $500.00 per set.My father was one of the original purchasers, and he passed them down to me when he died.(It's still even in its original custom made bookcase!)
Cost effective when you consider your options...
Regardless of minor squabbling over what should and shouldn't be included, this is a very good collection of western works. I'd call it great in fact, when you consider the amount you'd have to pay to purchase all these seperate, not to mention all the wading you'd do through some not-so-necessary reads.

Good Book
The book gives details on every food group for your blood type.You can look at all four blood types at a glance in the charts given.I just wish there was more information about how to tell if you were a non-secretor or a secretor.Otherwise, good book to have in your library.The husband and I have changed our eating to be according to our blood type as suggested, and within two weeks we could both feel a difference.More energy, less bloating or indigestion.It's a good book!

Physical Results May Vary!
I was considering adopting a vegitarian diet due to my many health problems and my mother told me about this book and the benefits her friends have had. So I bought the book and the information was quite facinating. It was like reading my physical autobiography, so I started the diet and I've been on it for 4 weeks and I have had no weight loss. Why..I don't know, but my energy levels have dropped significantly although I must say that my overall shape has changed. It appears that either I'm toning or I'm loosing muscle mass. The books were an easy read, but the thing I find most confusing is this concept of using herbs for ailments and overal health, there are sooooo many herbs out there for every kind of physical issue good or bad and I'm confused as to just how many pills can one person take?! I want to buy the right kind of vitamins and minerals for my body, but even on the website there are 5 or more kinds of pills that I should take, not to mention the shakes, bars and extra health meds that they recommend. I'm sorry to say that I have learned why I am sensitive to certain foods and why I've gained weight, but as to how to fix the problem, there seem to be too many pills and sometimes conflicting pieces of advice. In all, I'm more confused than I was when I was in the dark. So to all of you who have been successful with this diet, BRAVO to you, but for those of you who have bodies that are far more complex than diets and "all natural" foods, I feel you and maybe we'll find the REAL solution someday together.

it was okay
I bought the book thinking that it would help me learn how to eat for my blood type but I find it very difficult to follow and difficult to read it. This is more like an index for health problems and if you are susseptible to them by what your blood type is. ... Read more

Great information

You've got to read this book!
I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book

Mathematical & Biostatistical Epidemiological Methods
This is a very good textbook and reference for those seeking to model and understand epidemiology techniques.Calculus and probability theory are introduced at a basic level and the book progresses onto advanced concepts of statistical modeling.It has an A to Z format which makes it useful for looking up topics easily.The book starts out with fundamental techniques but explores complicated topics in greater detail toward the end of the single volume.I really like it as an MPH Student interested in epidemiology and plan on using it alot more in my career.Five Hundred dollars is alot, but probably worth it.This book is possibly not an absolute necessity, but I am glad I purchased it when I did, in the first year of the MPH Program.

compilation of authoritative articles
For a biostatistician at a pharmaceutical company who needs to combine clinical trial data with information in the literature from case-control and other non-randomized data, understanding of the latest epidemiologic methods is essential. In this reference source Mitch Gail and Jacques Benichou provide all the important abbreviations and acronyms and 201 articles listed alphabetical by title along with author and subject indices at the end of the volume. Each article has its own list of references to the relevant literature. The list of contributors is over 140 including many very famous biostatisticians from around the world. Young scientist
This is a very valuable book, helping to be familiar with epidemiological methods. This will alllow you to use right epidemiological methods in preparing scientistic work. Thank for authors. ... Read more

A Wonderful Book
An excellent book on Natural Healing.
Don't pass this up, FANTASTIC book.
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. This is the most thorough and jam packed book ever written. Filled with fun pictures and loads of incredibly helpful information for both the Clinician and the average person wanting to learn more about Health, Healing and more. Read more

A fantastic and Informative source
I am just starting this path, and this book explained in an easy but detailed manner how the gems and rocks and planets and colors all work together in spells and other majic.
This book was the first of its type...
Since then, several other authors have followed in Cunningham's tracks. Books that combine folklore and ritual use, mythology, magick, and healing are excellent additions to libraries on crystals. This is one book that every practitioner should really have. It contains several nice lists of cross-references and many folk names for stones may be found therein.
A Must-Have
This is a must have book for anyone interested in crystals, gems, or metals. It includes a comprehensive and detailed guide to the properties of many many many gems and crystals, as well as metals. The pictures are a great part of the book.

Certainly another good medical reference book.
This edition the AMA encyclopedia (2003) is fully based on its first edition (1989), so the review of the first applies to the second.The 1989 had better illustrations on the whole, but their editors often included inappropriate depictions for no apparent reasons. This irresponsibility carried over into discussions particularly concerning ethical issues, such as abortion (unfortunately, this is something we have come to expect from the medical industry).It is evident the editors had a very large axe to grind when discussing medically induced death therapy that is applied to our unborn citizens.There was neither a mature discussion of the particularly disastrous effect on our black communities through America's legalized and ongoing killing of babies; nor a serious review of the more than ample documentation concerning the Abortion-Breast Cancer (ABC) link, nor an assessment of the emotion scarring of the widespread Post Abortion Syndrome.Similarly, its discussion of sodomy inexplicably still utilized the discredited and criminally derived Kinsey report, and did not give adequate warning about the inherent dangers of that lifestyle.By overlooking these deficiencies, much good knowledge is available in the work.This new 2003 version includes significant and helpful updates since the 1989 publication.

The AMA Encyclopedia is invaluable. It's complete, detailed and well layed out.
