    I found Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for Women’s Health interesting and informative. I’m not sure if I would recommend it as a self-help book, but I would certainly recommend it as a useful tool to learn about acupuncture and TCM and its benefits to women’s health issues.

    I loved this book! Fat Chance is so inspiring that it made even me forego eating that piece of chocolate cake and opt instead for lacing up my sneaks to go for a walk


    Authors:  Dr. George Carlo and Martin Schram
    ISBN:  0-7867-0960-X

    The information in this book is crucial for citizens to be aware of. It is written in novel form so it is geared more towards the person who wants the inside story, rather than for a reader who wants the facts short and sweet. Carlo

    Lierre Keith’s writing is passionate, beautiful and sometimes a bit sarcastic. It is never boring. This book may make some vegetarians and vegans furious and many meat eaters feel less guilty. But regardless of the emotions Lierre Keith’s conclusions stir in us, this book is an absolute must read for anyone who cares about their health and the future of our planet. I guarantee that The Vegetarian Myth will not leave you in the same condition in which it found you

    Publisher: Primary Press

    At a time when some of Elliott approaches are still easily brushed aside by those who have never tried them, this compelling read is a valuable contribution to the growing body of works calling for the inclusion in conventional medicine of many of his suggestions. This is an amazing book that should not be underestimated.

    I was at first fooled by the title of this book.  I thought that Dr. Alexa Fleckenstein would be touting the drinking of water, its consumption, as a therapy, much the same as the well known Iranian doctor, Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj.  But any mistake on this was purely my own!  While Dr. Batmanghelidj recommends drinking lots of water, Dr. Fleckenstein recommends bathing in it!
