Review of Say Good-Bye to Illness (3rd Edition) (Say Good-Bye To...) (Paperback)

As many people know, suffering from allergies is often times easier than following the doctor's advice to control them. Nambudripad addresses this issue in her book, "Say Good-Bye To Illness."
The book "Say Good-Bye To Illness" is an excellent resource book. It is filled with practical advice and tips on how to treat allergies with complete success.
Over the years Nambudripad's name has been maligned and sneered at as she pioneered the idea that it's not just heredity or pathogens that lead to chronic illness but unseen allergies accumulated over time. Allergies have always been presented to Americans as the hay fever sufferer or the anaphylactic peanut-eater. But millions of Americans are suffering from allergies to things they come in contact with daily and don't show up as a sneeze or anaphylactic shock but eventually lead to serious chronic illness. Traditional medical treatments are a miserable failure as attested to by many of our chronically ill. As the drugs and medicines have been added to the mix instead of noninvasive NAET treatments, Americans are suffering complications and a prognosis of continual deterioration. Dr. Nambudripad's idea that treating allergies with NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) can lead to eradicating illness and better health for a host of chronically ill patients has been vindicated.
The NAET is a 4 step approach. Step 1 is where you begin treating the basic 10 immune boosters to tip the scale to bolster your immune system and get the immune system up and running to continue to Step 2. In this step you begin to treat individual allergies you may have to foods, substances, the environment, (any and all allergies and/or sensitivities) and these are continued based on your condition and rate of recovery. Some patients need three NAET treatments per week to start and then taper off as their condition improves. Step 3 is where you begin to assimilate and understand how NAET works to return you to a state of health and in Step 4 you learn to test and treat allergies on yourself. "Say Good-Bye to Illness" discusses each of these steps and concentrates mainly on Steps 3 and 4. "The Naet Guide Book" is the companion book to "Say Good-Bye to Illness" and it is a must read for every patient starting out on their NAET journey and it focuses mainly on Steps 1 and 2.
"Say Good-Bye To Illness" covers in great detail how Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques work. The first section of the book through Chapter 7 delves into what the techniques are and why and how they work. The second section, Chapter 8 through Chapter 11, describes NAET through the explanation of muscle response testing, causes of disease, and the discovery of NAET, to the role that Chinese medicine and the acupuncture meridians play in this exciting new health treatment.
Some of my favorite chapters are found in the third section of the book. Chapters 12 through Chapter 22 detail how specific allergies affect different organs in the body from the digestive system, respiratory system, skin, joints, genitourinary, circulatory, and nervous systems to the myriad of miscellaneous disorders like addictions, yeast, candidiasis, mold, fungus, CFS, eye disorders, pain disorders, autism, asthma and so many more.
This section's explanations are dotted with over 100 success stories to give the reader a pleasant break from the medical detail and also affords the reader a moment to reflect how patients have backed up Nambudripad's medical explanations in these chapters. Extraordinary, yummy stories from patient-volunteered testimonials, these are patients' tales about their NAET journeys and amazing successes. Stories of people having rid themselves of plaguing pains and illnesses and how NAET successfully eradicated health conditions like peanut anaphylaxis, allergy to shellfish, constant sciatic pain, food allergies, hives, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, colitis, lactose intolerance, hay fever, bronchitis, asthma, dust allergy, eczema, hair loss, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sports injury, psoriasis, lupus, bed wetting, allergy to dairy, PMS, sinus headaches, migraines, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, osteoporosis, diaper rash and so many more which all help the reader truly understand the miracle that is NAET.
YES you can eat anything you want again! You can eat dairy, gluten or peanuts and have pizza, cake or even shellfish, wine or coffee. The key of course is eradicating the allergies you have to the foods you love. You can learn to handle your allergies on the fly after a night out where you know you have sinned. Just keep a little of what it was you ate and self treat it! This book includes a tip to master self-testing.
This 500-page book includes information for the multiple chemical sensitive patient as well as vital nutritional advice to maintain good health.
The book "Say Good-Bye to Illness" makes living a fun and active life a real possibility again for so many of us, and it is an enjoyable read I highly recommend!

Review of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome: A Reversible Low Temperature Problem (Paperback)

While the first few chapters are heavy on medical terminology, overall this book is an excellent guide for anyone wondering about the specifics of WTS and its treatment.Very detailed and very readable.

Product Description
Formerly titled, Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome - A Reversible Thyroid Problem, this book describes a reversible low body temperature problem.Are the symptoms of a slow metabolism due to low thyroid function, or are they due to low body temperature?The body temperature is the key, and that's why the name has been updated to Wilson's Temperature Syndrome.The thyroid system plays a critical role in maintaining adequate metabolism and/or body temperature.When thyroid function is inadequate then the body temperature can drop, resulting in the symptoms of a slow metabolism.In such situations thyroid treatment can help restore the body temperature and therefore alleviate the symptoms.But symptoms of low body temperature and slow metabolism can occur even when thyroid blood tests are normal (this is Wilson's Temperature Syndrome).If you're suffering from symptoms typical of low thyroid function (in other words, symptoms of slow metabolism / low body temperature) and your thyroid blood tests are normal, that may mean that your symptoms are curable!Many patients with symptoms like Fatigue, Depression, Fluid Retention, Easy weight gain, PMS, Headaches, Migraines, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Itchiness, Insomnia, and many others, respond very well to the normalization of their low body temperatures despite having normal blood tests (this is the sense in which the temperature is the key).And more importantly, the symptoms often remain improved even after the treatment's been discontinued.This low temperature problem, Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, is reversible in the same way that certain female hormone problems are reversible.For example, some women with irregular periods can be cycled on birth control pills (female hormones) for several months to regulate their bleeding.Then, when they are weaned off the pill, their periods often remain regular even after the pill's been discontinued.In a similar way, Wilson's Temperature Syndrome can often be corrected by cycling patients on a certain thyroid hormone protocol for a period of time to normalize their body temperatures.This book is an excellent description of the syndrome and its manifestations and introduces the treatment of WTS.It fully explains what it feels like to have WTS so people can get a very good idea of whether or not they think they may be suffering from it.If people do believe that they may have the condition, the Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome exlains the treatment protocol in complete detail.

Review of Bypassing Bypass Surgery: Chelation Therapy: A Non-surgical Treatment for Reversing Arteriosclerosis, Improving Blocked Circulation, and Slowing the Aging Process (Paperback)

I'm not joking!
My dad is an MD and was skeptical when my mom (herself an RN) insisted on having Chelation Therapy over 10 years ago.My mom was not far from the exit from this life from many different ailments (including arteries which were 90% clogged).After several treatments, mom's health perked up so much that my dad became a believer and went in for Chelation Therapy himself (his arteries were also mostly clogged).Mom and Dad are still alive and in pretty good health.
My uncle had serious heart disease caused by clogged arteries, and was already in line to get open heart surgery when mom told him about what Chelation Therapy did for her.So my uncle dropped his open-heart surgery for the Chelation Therapy and never looked back.
My copy of the book is the 1990 printing of the book that my mom gave me after she became a "convert."I have been spreading the word to anybody I know who has heart problems.
Thank you Dr. Elmer Cranton for your dedication to Chelation Therapy and for saving so many lives.
--George Stancliffe

Product Description
The results of a Duke University study recently published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" indicate that of the nearly 400,000 people in the U.S. each year who undergo a bypass operation using a heart-lung machine, an estimated forty percent risk a substantial decrease in mental ability within five years after the surgery.
Dr. Elmer Cranton published "Bypassing Bypass" in 1984 as a comprehensive introduction to EDTA chelation therapy, which opens blocked arteries without invasive surgery. The book became increasingly popular among consumers and health care providers seeking a safer, noninvasive, and lower-cost alternative to the traditional bypass surgery. With the advancements in medical technology, scientific research, and an increase in the number of practitioners offering chelation therapy, Dr. Cranton knew that an updated, expanded edition was needed. "Bypassing Bypass Surgery" will bring readers up to date on the latest studies and findings regarding chelation therapy and its current status in the medical community.

Review of Stedman's Medical Dictionary (Hardcover)

I am in the health insurance industry, going to school to become a medical coder. This dictionary has been very helpful to me.I believe that this dictionary is geared more toward people that already have a knowledge of medical terminology, as when you look up a word, the definition sometimes is so complex that if you are not familiar with terms, you'll find yourself looking up another word just to define the original definition!This is not a bad thing, as it keeps you learning and learning is power; however if you do not like this type of thing, you may want to look around for another type of medical dictionary. Personally, I love this dictionary.

Product Description

Review of A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health (Paperback)

I consider myself one of the luckiest moms on earth that I got turned onto a healthy nutrient track when I was pregnant and for my post partum recovery. And I'm not talking about the blah, blah, blah healthy stuff..The stuff we all know..eat right, exercise, etc...that stuff has been written about for years..from banal REader's Digest to Oprah Late At Night.What I'm talking about is the alternative, cutting edge stuff.Like replacing some of the lost omega-3 oils DHA and EPA which I leared awhile ago is downright stolen by the baby from the mom during pregnancy.And I made it my business to supplement my pregnancy and post pregnancy with the right nutrients so that I could avoid Post Partum depression with my new baby.I should say, avoid PPD without Prozac.Well, now new moms are lucky because everything I learned from various sources and vaious experts are now in ONE book.This is a one stop shop for any new mom who wants to take care of her body while taking care of her new baby.Raffelock and Roundtree have really answered any question I had and any new mom who might ask "what's happening to me?"Or things like, "Why is my skin so dry?""Why am I forgetful?"And more importantly... "How can I fix it?"
This information is invaluable. ... But, if you follow some of the steps in this book, you can find some of the good nutrients at local health food stores. The key is the right items in the right amounts.
Personally, I think Prozac or as I call it, "Vitamin P" is being handed out way too easily and new moms have so much going on with their bodies that I would rather see nutrition be supplemented before jumping on Vitamin P.
This book must be read by all new moms!

Product Description
Having a baby can and should be one of the most joyful experiences of a woman's life. While there are hundreds of books that provide information on how to ensure the development of a healthy baby, few of them dedicate more than a few pages to the nourishment of the mother herself during this physically and emotionally demanding time. It is rarely discussed, but women commonly experience a wide variety of ailments during the postpartum period, from depression to anxiety, backache, and loss of libido.

A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health is the first book by physicians that is devoted entirely to telling women how they can prevent postpartum problems and attain optimum health after the delivery of their babies. Elements of the program, which is meant to be adopted during-or, if possible, before-pregnancy, include diet, nutritional supplementation, exercise, hormone-balancing, the use of medicinal herbs, and conventional medications. Developed by the authors in clinical practice, this program has a proven track record in helping women to avoid and overcome postpartum difficulties.
