Review of The Edgar Cayce Remedies (Paperback)

This is a good book. I like that it not only describes Edgar Cayce's trance suggestions and philosophy of healing but that it is written by Dr. William McGarey who used to be one of the founding doctors of the medical clinic in Phoenix, Arizona that used the Cayce readings when appropriate to cure many illnesses, even those considered incurable.

However, because of the title of the book, I expected it to be a listing of various Cayce remedies such as herbs, lotions, foods. Instead, it lists remedies to undertake for various types of ailments. It's written in three parts. The first describes the functioning of the human body. The second sections lists various types of healing regimens suggested in the Cayce readings such as castor oil packs, prayer and meditation, and consulting dreams plus more conventional types of healing regimens such as diet and nutrition, exercise, manipulation, and massage. The third section is the best because it lists various body systems such as the digestive organs, the skin, and the heart and vascular system, and describes how to get that system healthy and keep it healthy.

I find it very helpful to get a sense of how the body works from Cayce's very holistic perspective. However, I would have preferred that when Cayce readings are mentioned, that they be quoted and the numbers of the readings listed as they are in The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health Through Drugless Therapy.

If you are interested in listings of various healing regimens, there's Edgar Cayce Encyclopedia of Healing (Edgar Cayce) that lists various ailments and their cures and An Edgar Cayce Encyclopedia of Foods for Health and Healing, which lists foods and food combinations suggested to heal various physical incoordinations, plus Edgar Cayce on Healing Foods for Body, Mind, and Soul, another books on the foods and food combinations recommended in the Cayce readings.

A good book but I'd choose The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health Through Drugless Therapy first because it is a "how to" of the Cayce remedies and it quotes the readings directly including their reading numbers.

Review of The Creation of Health: The Emotional, Psychological, and Spiritual Responses That Promote Health and Healing (Paperback)

Myss and Shealy make clear that we are at a turning point in the diagnosis and understanding of disease.The trend in medicine to examine the influences of stress has retintroduced us to the knowledge that emotional tension is disruptive to the physical body."...this recognition that human emotions do indeed affect physical health," they write, "has brought the traditional medical world face to face with the fundamental principle of holistic health: The majority of physical illnesses result from an overload of emotional, psychological and spiritual crises."
They outline eight dysfunctional stress patterns:
- Unresolved or deeply consuming emotional, psychological, or spiritual stress. - Negative (and disempowering) belief patterns.- Inability to give and/or receive love. - Lack of humor/inability to distinguish serious concerns from life's lesser issues. - Failure to exercise the power of choice in the matters of one's own life. - Lack of attention to the needs of the physical body. - Absence or loss of meaning in one's life. - Inability to face life's challenges and to acknowledge and change what is not working.
The term "Holistic" refers to a way of approaching healing that incorporates a variety of therapies including traditional medicine."Metaphorically speaking, traditional medicine represents the 'mind' of health care and the holistic approach represents the 'heart' of health care."This book is an important guideline for approaching the heart of health care -- a useful frame of reference to examine how our lives contribute to illness or wholeness, particularly those who have already become ill, their families, and their caregivers.

Review of The Hidden Cure: The Five Laws of Perfect Health (Paperback)

Let me start by saying that I met Laurens 15 years ago while surfing in our beautiful island Barbados. We started talking about health, life, pyramids, ecology, energy...we shared same interests and became friends in a snap.

About a year later I broke a finger during a surf session. The pain was so intense I was unable to do anything with that hand. That evening we met at his house and he told me he could use EMF to reduce the swelling and the pain. I was skeptic: how could some electrical frequencies applied to my body reduce pain??? He checked a data base in his computer to find a frequency that matched the vibration of healthy bone and muscle tissue. He also added some frequencies for two types of Arnica (a plant that reduces swelling). Using a machine capable of generating those frequencies, he applied them through some meridians in my hands and at the end of the 5 minute session I already felt less pain in the area. By the next morning the pain and the swelling where virtually gone. I was so impressed. I shook hands with him using my broken finger..!!!

That event changed my life. I enrolled in his program. I enrolled my wife, my parents and my kids. We learned about true health. We learned what and how to eat. We learned the connection of fungi to chronic disease. We learned how simple sugars feed those fungi and rob vital energy. We learned to cure the Earth by curing the individual. Amazing..!!! It has been an incredible voyage...!!!

And now its all in this book. It condenses all this knowledge into an easy and fulfilling read. Its time to get this message to the World. 5 Laws = Perfect Health.

Congratulations to you and to your beautiful family...!!!

1 Luv' to all
Ralf

Review of The Allergy and Asthma Cure: A Complete 8-Step Nutritional Program (Paperback)

I had been getting more and more allergic every year.Last year I developed asthma, and kept up with an intense schedule by using inhalers, a lot!Even though I gave up dairy and wheat, they continued to get worse, finally to the point where I had hives and welts from touching my books (a little microscopic mold, I suppose). That was the last straw and I bought this book and followed it for 3.5 months now.I went from using inhalers 3 times a day to 0.I can hug my cats again, where I would cough when they walked into the room with me before.I had some patches of eczema on the elbows that is gone, and I finally have some get up and go again.
If you feel despair of having your body literally self destruct with allergic reactions, follow this program with ALL of the pertinent supplements (3 handfuls a day for me), and get your health back!

Product Description

This book will have a prominent place in my library and I highly recommend it! "
-Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of the bestselling The Fat Flush Plan

- Jack Challem, author of the bestselling Syndrome X and The Inflammation Syndrome

-Roberta Flack, singer/songwriter

"I have seen firsthand how The Allergy and Asthma Cure has changed people's lives for the better.

Many of my patients are getting off their allergy and asthma medications completely. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with allergies or asthma."
-Dana G. Cohen, M.D., board-certified, Internal Medicine

Review of Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution: Nature's Answer to Drugs (Paperback)

This outstanding book solved what numerous doctors, clinics, university hospitals could not do in 20 years.Using the clear, concise, easy guidelines in this book, my 20 year problems of obesity and chronic depression started to disappear in days, and 5 weeks later I was a totally new person.This book is just outstanding. It covers a wide variety of illness and ailments.Amino acids and essential fatty acids were critical to my results, yet they are inexpensive, safe to use, and have no adverse side effects. Three doctors who use this type of approach are James Kwako MD, Santa Barbara, CA., and Julian Whitaker MD, Newport Beach, CA., and Priscilla Slagle MD, Los Angeles; they have years of experience and success.The dramatic results I got from this book cannot be over stated.I use iHerb and Jo Mar Laboratories for obtaining the products needed. I am not affiliated or connected with any book, doctor, company listed here. I donated 8 copies of the book to 2 county library systems. The book saved my life.

Review of Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guide (Paperback)

This book tells you what cancer is; what the pros and cons are with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy; what the other new mainstream treatments are; why cancer research is failing and what the alternative therapies are that many people are doing - often with great success: the additional diagnostic tests you might want to consider; the detox regimes; the diets, herbs, vitamins, supplements and other approaches that have helped. And it tells you about the pioneers that have been vilified despite anecdotal reports of success - and so on. This book aims to provide a complete picture of the world of cancer. And it does so without hectoring or vilifying people who hold different opinions. It recognises that we are all different and will make different choices. I should declare my own interest in this book. I am the author and I researched this book as a result of my wife dying from cancer (and from the direct effects of the treatment she submitted to). I vowed that I would not go the same way - but I needed to know what the options were. This book was written above all to inform myself. In the book I tell the stories of over a dozen people who recovered from their cancers using alternative approaches - and they used different approaches so I think it is fair to say there are dozens of cures for cancer - but you can't do them if you don't know what they are. And this book is written to be accessible. One reader wrote to me: " I devoured the entire [book]in one sitting. As I read hope grew and grew. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You gave us hope when all we could see was despair and you gave us a path when we thought all was lost. "

Review of The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder (The Healthy Mind Guides) (Paperback)

this book has turned my life around. having been diagnosed with bipolar type II in 2002 (age 19), i've spent the past 5 years on various pharmaceuticals, magnificently tempering the depression and mood swings, and my personality. but did i feel i was living? no. i had a strict circadium rhythm from the meds (13 hrs. of sleep a night), and i was an emotional and physical zombie. my intellectual brain stopped functioning, and i had to drop out of college. i didn't regret being on meds, because they did help keep me pseudo-sane and definately alive, but i wanted more for myself. i found this book in a health food store, and figured i'd educate myself on alternatives, not believing anything but meds could truly 'work'. well. this isn't true. every person suffering from a mental disorder needs to know that there are options to getting better, and traditional methods of psychiatric pharmaceuticals are only one of those options. i really wish someone had told me that at the beginning of my diagnosis (and really, at my first onset of depression at age 8).
all the chapters in this book are informative and useful. specifically, chapter five reviews a theraputic clinic outside chicago called Pfeiffer Treatment Center. after reading the review, i applied and became a patient last year, and started their program with immediate sucess (relief within days). it turns out much of my mental instability was due to candidiasis, being toxic with the mineral copper with a deficiency of zinc, and too little of histamine (and thus overmethylation.) i am taking very bio-specific supplements 3x daily to balance the mineral and neuotransmitter issues, and i'm on a copper-free, yeast/sugar-free diet, and i am loosely following the blood type A diet (who ever said life was easy?) the results? mood swings are gone. irritablity is gone. depression is gone. i've a healthy range of moods and emotions, and experience many other *unrelated* benefits as well (effortless weight loss, ocd spectrum disorder gone, increased energy, focus and clarity, improved overall health). and i'm not on any meds. most psychiatrists i've seen would call this sacriledge, even dangerous. i call it a smart application of science. and its a start to a new life. not something i could have achieved with meds and talk therapy (and i've been doing t.t. for 20 very long years).
on another note, i have had incredible success treating/eliminating my food allergies and ADD with NAET, a technique covered in chapter 8.
Please consider that this book has radically altered at least one person's life for the better. i pray it will help others as it helped me.
ps. it is vital to read this book with an open mind.

Product Description
The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder,an innovative and inspiring book on natural medicine treatments for a healthy mind, is about healing bipolar, not merely enduring it. Within these pages, medical journalist Stephanie Marohn explores the key contributing factors and triggers for mood disorder and profiles a range of effective, nondrug-based approaches that can truly restore health. Treating the underlying imbalances, rather than suppressing the outer symptoms (as most drugs do), leads to lasting recovery. And only by considering the well-being of the mind and spirit as well as the body can comprehensive healing take place.
