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.

By Carol Chapman, award-winning photographer of the ONLY Edgar Cayce calendar Divine in Nature: With Quotes from Edgar Cayce and author of When We Were Gods: Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening.

Review of Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Paperback)

I've looked at a lot of these books including the "famous" best seller which is a complete con job. This book, however, is the real deal. I've read Dr. Bowden before and he doesn't disappoint. The book is witty, easy to read, fascinating, not too technical, but at the same time loaded with real scientific references explaining exactly what works, why, how and what to expect. It's not the kind of junky book that claims to cure cancer with a pill. Rather, it takes a reasoned approach to how to use natural medicine and everyday remedies to improve health, symptoms, and in some cases even get rid of the problem. It doesn't over promise but it definitely over-delivers. I was blown away by the endorsements and raves by other medical and nutritional professionals in "integrative" medicine- everyone from Dr. Oz (the guy on Oprah) to Christiane Northrup to even Mark Victor Hansen! After reading this book I know why they said what they said. By the way- highly recommended- if you read nothing else, at least read his brilliant INTRO which is a great essay on the state of American medicine, why your doctor doesn't know about this stuff, and how to take care of your health

Product Description
A comprehensive look at natural treatments and healing methods that work.
Jonny Bowden takes his practical, knowledgeable, and open-minded approach -- the same approach that made his previous book, The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, so successful -- and focuses it on natural cures, revealing the best of alternative medicine for a mainstream audience. Through his personal use, extensive research, and wide-ranging expertise in nutrition and health, Jonny sorts through the myriad home remedies from every discipline and tradition to show which work and how best to use these proven healing techniques. He also explains through approachable and articulate descriptions why they work and on what basis he selected these cures -- whether it is patient testimonials or the latest scientific studies to give you peace of mind and the information you need about each treatment.
The book explores more than 75 common conditions, including allergies, cancer, high cholesterol, depression, diabetes, hypertension, menopause, and stress.

Review of Vitamin C: The Real Story, the Remarkable and Controversial Healing Factor (Paperback)

Apart from various websites, this is the first book I've read about Vitamin C and I found it immensely informative and very valuable.I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in achieving optimal health andavoiding as much disease as possible later in life.Saul & Hickey do a good job explaining the history, the science, methodology and reasoning behind large doses, the controversy, the chemistry and laying down the basics as you proceed through the book and set you up well for their synthesis in the final chapters where they lay down a very detailed explanation of how the fundamental cause of atherosclerosis is highly likely to arise from less than optimal levels of antioxidants particularly Vitamin C in the body, these were the sections I found the most interesting.The book also has a great section on cancer, how it develops, and how Vitamin C can play a role in prevention and treatment.

Having done some internet research today since finishing the book I am a little surprised they never mention the role of the various genes that have arisen in animals that can't produce their own Vitamin C such as the one that produces Uric Acid (as wikipedia says it provides about half of the antioxidant capacity of the plasma), along with the ability to recycle ascorbate which is also seems unique to upper primates, guinea pigs and bats according to this recent article.[...] I think this is interesting too and could have been mentioned when comparing our vitamin C requirements to animals that make their own (hence the four stars).Nevertheless, this is minor, and gorillas eat 2-5g of ascorbate a day anyway which is way beyond what most people eat and about the range they recommend here for maintaining good health.

I think they make a very strong argument for increasing intake for optimum health, so I know I will be doing just that.
This is a great book, which is easy to read, concise and full of valuable information that could very well extend the length and quality of your life - and if you ever catch a lethal strain of legionnaires disease you'll know what to do!









Product Description

Research into vitamin C is progressing rapidly despite a lack of funding from conventional medicine into its clinical applications. Orthomolecular medicine, which uses nutrients in large doses to treat disease, is regarded as highly controversial by the medical establishment. This rejection of the orthomolecular approach has little basis in science and reflects a bias at the heart of the status quo.


This book tells the story of how the controversy about vitamin C has grown and continues while the increasing evidence demonstrates the value of the orthomolecular approach. The story of vitamin C is an exciting journey into the workings of science and medicine, the intrigues of political economic influences, and the evolutionary history of humankind. Someday, medicine without vitamin C therapy will be compared to childbirth without sanitation or surgery without anesthetic.

- You_ll see that mega doses of vitamin C have proven to be an effective antibiotic, a nontoxic anticancer agent, and also a treatment for heart disease.
- We_ll explain the real reasons behind conventional medicine_s rejection of vitamin C therapy.
- You_ll meet the pioneers of vitamin C research, who often faced great resistance in their advocacy for the health benefits of this nutrient.

Vitamin C is a simple molecule with powerful effects. If you want to be healthy, you should take enough vitamin C. After reading this book, you will know why and how much.

Review of Natural Treatments for Tics and Tourette's: A Patient and Family Guide (Paperback)

This book is perfect for families looking for "alternative" treatments for tics syndromes.Our elementary school child had frequent tics which were not resolving on their own.We did not want to put him on drugs because of all the possible side effects that people we knew had told us about.

This book explains possible causes of tics and gives terrific suggestions and things to try with your child. We started off with avoiding some of the triggers that the author Sheila Rogers mentions.Amazingly, after a week the tics went away!!This gave us confidence that this wasn't some permanent condition that we just had to live with.Once we understood more about how a faulty immune system could likely be an underlying cause, something the book describes well, we found a doctor to help us with testing and natural treatments--so far it has mostly been diet change and over the counter supplements. The book also helps guide you to the right kind of doctor for this, since most neurologists today still tend to teach acceptance or provide drugs. I see this book as a 'must read' before going the route of drugs.

Our son's tics are completely gone and we no longer have to avoid as many triggers now that his immune system is stronger. The side benefits are that our son is sleeping better and has more energy. It scares me to think we could have put him on drugs to mask the symptoms instead of addressing the underlying cause.

Families reading this should know that the book doesn't give a one-size-fits-all formula, which unfortunately doesn't seem to exist yet, but rather a list of things that you can try with your child.The parent must still be a detective and the process takes diligence.I have spent countless hours searching the internet for solutions, and I thought this book provided by far the most comprehensive explanation I have ever seen about what can cause tics and what can be done to minimize and even eliminate them.

The book has not only the theory, but also practical ideas that really make a difference. The success stories alone are touching and very encouraging.Our family is proof that the methods can work. It is such a joy and relief to see my son so happy and his face and body so relaxed.

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 Dr. Earl Mindell's Natural Remedies for 150 Ailments (Paperback)

IN A NUTSHELL:

This book, "Dr. Earl Mindell's Natural Remedies for 150 Ailments," is a simple and useful guide to treating everything from "bad breath" to "cirrhosis" in a format that lends itself to everyday use. Organized like a cookbook in alphabetical order by ailment, 150 ailments are listed on the left-hand page and their corresponding treatments are listed on the right-hand page. You can't miss for ease of use.

FOR EXAMPLE: TAKE "HEARTBURN" as a typical ailment:

Listed alphabetically, the description of "Heartburn" takes up page 150 [left-hand page], while the remedies are on page 151, [the right-hand page]. For each ailment, such as Heartburn, the remedies are organized into four sections on one page:

at the top -"SUPPLEMENTS" - Vitamin B12, Acidophilus, Digestive enzymes and Betaine hydrochloride. [quantities and directions for use are included on page]

Second are - "Herbs", with four herbs and treatment regimens for each.

Third are - "Consider/Try to", which includes some other treatment options.

Fourth are - "Avoid/ Watch Out For", which includes anything from activities to foods to over-the-counter medications that may cause adverse reactions.

BOTTOM LINE:

This book makes it simple to find the symptoms and alternative treatment options for 150 common ailments. On the minus side, there are NO explainations as to why treatments are suggested, or details about the specific parts of the herb that are to be used or why. For instance, for "heartburn" under the fourth heading, which is always "Avoid/ Watch Out For", antacids were listed to be avoided. While I understand why they might recommend the avoidance of antacids, many people reading the book might think that it was a misprint. Just like avoiding caffeine and coffee if you suffer from "chronic fatigue syndrome". They are NOT misprints, but you'll have to find the answers to why in a more comprehensive study, if you are so inclined.

A GREAT BOOK FOR MY MOTHER:

My mother would look at this book and say, "Great - I can see what I have wrong with me, and what I might do about it." She'll love this book because she does not want to go to medical school and attend lectures or stay up late every night reading about alternative health strategies. For her, and for the many people who choose to leave their health care decisions to an allopathic physician rather than to educate themselves extensively, this book is about as detailed as they may feel comfortable with. Essentially, she would rather leave the medical stuff to her doctor. In any event, this book is a great place to start one's investigation into alternative remedies, and it is a good book to have on anybody's shelf.

Product Description
Now updated and expanded, this valuable book shows you how to stop turning to potentially harmful prescription and over-the-counter medicines to ease your ailments--and to turn instead to Mother Nature for safe, natural, and effective remedies to relieve troublesome health conditions.

"Natelson superbly incorporates research studies, clinical trials (even on drugs in development), and patient case reports in this book. If you are battling pain and fatigue symptoms but your tests are all normal, you will enjoy reading Natelson's pro-patient approach to explaining the real nature of your illness, his recommended treatment approaches, and how to cope with everything that is going on in your life."
--Kristin Thorson, editor of the Fibromyalgia Network and President of the American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association

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.

Review of Health and Nutrition Secrets (Paperback)

As a dentist, I have been advising patients to rid themselves of their mercury amalgams and, in the wake of Dr.Yiamouyiannis' research years ago, to avoid all exposure to fluoride. Unfortunately, in the US today, any professional advising similarly risks losing their practicing license to the local Board. Further, the thimerosol(mercury preservative) question with children's vaccinations has been buried mostly in the face of corporation and organized medicine's refusal to allow the issue proper publicity and debate. Due to the structure of the corporate universe, the serious, debilitating and life-threatening issues raised by Dr. Blaylock have been pushed to the dark corners of the alternative medical community to keep alive. Dr. Blaylock here shifts the tables. This book is a must-read for all health practitioners, be we allopathic or "complementary", and will become an empowerment to us in the face of official attempts to bury our criticisms. I have written to Dr. Blaylock and proposed better marketing and, perhaps, a title change in an attempt to give this work the readership it deserves, but for now, READ THIS BOOK! and you will change your world.

Product Description

Review of Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative (Paperback)

I came across this book by a (so-called) fluke although in reality--it is a timely answer to a 32 yr-old prayer.I read the book with great enthusiasm because my current doctor had put me on an elimination diet todetoxify my liver.No sooner had he done this than my skin began to clearup.When I read this book, the author says that many people initially findrelief to psoriasis when their doctors put them on elimination diets forother reasons.Thus the undisputable proof that diet and nutrition haveeverything to do with your health.When I finished the book, I gave it tomy doctor who was extremely open to its suggestions.We immediately put 2or 3 of the book's suggestions to work in addition to what I was alreadydoing.Even though we are in the middle of winter (the worst time of yearfor the psioratic), my skin continues to clear and is soft and supple.Ihave since told everyone I know who suffers with this skin disorder, aboutthis book.Please, please--give this book a chance.Improvements aregenerally noticed within 6-8 weeks.You need to give your skin a chance toheal underneath and then make its way to the surface where you willeventually see it.The first thing I noticed was that it stoppedspreading!Diet is rather strict while the skin is healing--then you canplay around with what works for you and more importantly, what doesn't.Inthe meantime, stop eating tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, peppers ofany kind (except black pepper), vinegar and alcohol--and if you smoke,either quit or cut down to 3-4 cigarettes a day.Tobacco is a"nightshade" and exceptionally toxic to the psioratic.Increaseyour fruits and vegetables.No red meat (including pork).Limit all dairyproducts to nonfat or 1% milk fat, and even then, limit your consumption. And (obviously) limit or eliminate sugar.Cut out gluten products (pasta,breads, cakes and cereals).Take a tablespoon of flaxseed oil each morningand evening--and also two capsules of Omega 3 fish oil capsules, bothmorning and evening.Keep flaxseed oil in refrigerator and Omega 3 fishoil caps in freezer.These few guidelines will get you started until youcan read this book.Sounds like alot, but clear skin will be worth it!
