The Future of Healing 5 out of 5 stars.
36 of 37 people found this review helpful.

In "Extraordinary Healing" Dr. Brownstein has given us the blueprint for
self healing using our greatest tools:The mind, the body and the breath. A
lay persons guide for improving or healing many of societies common
ailments. His work brings to mind a quote from the late Thomas Edison "The doctors of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause of and prevention of disease" Highly recommended!

Extraordinary Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
32 of 34 people found this review helpful.

Leave it to Art Brownstein to take complex subjects and communicate them in ways any reader -- especially those of us not in medicine or the healing arts -- can understand and apply. His book is not only informative and well-researched, at its core it also offers hope, which may be the greatest healing agent of all time. While it is clear that Dr. Brownstein is knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, perhaps his greatest contribution is that he is the messenger of transformation to a positive mindset. I applaud his work and highly recommend Extraordinary Healing to those looking to shift into healing or, just as important, stay in the wellness zone.

Editorial Review:

This book reveals the miraculous workings of the human body's least-understood system: the healing system. Dr. Brownstein shows how you can rev up your healing system.

More Than a Jolly Good Read 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

As an acupuncturist I found this book to be a really lovely synergy between the Flower Essence indications and the properties of the Chinese Qi Meridians. The design of the book itself is beautiful; the little green corner at the top left of the cover is inspired. Although I enjoyed reading the book I was dubious about clinical applications, but have been more than pleasantly surprised. Using essences on the prescibed sites as an adjunct to needling has yeilded quite good results in some sticky cases. The method is also a wonderful and convenient way to work on oneself. I await Volume II.

Editorial Review:

Certified Bach flower therapist Deborah Craydon and licensed acupuncturist Warren Bellows combine their expertise to present an innovative and highly effective holistic method to treat body, mind and spirit. By applying flower essences (in place of needles) to acupuncture points, it is possible to stimulate the movement of energy, starting a powerful healing process. Filled with full-colour photography, this practical manual is suitable for both professional and home use.

not as excepted 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

this book talks more about acupressure and how to use it but does not go into that much depth for accupunture.

Disappointment 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I am looking to understand accupuncture and accupressure without having to suffer through reading text-book style presentations on the subject. Hence my choice of an "Idiot's Guide" book -- I thought it would give me, in layman's terms, a greater understanding of the concepts on which accupuncture and accupressure are based -- kind of a mini-course on the subject. Instead, it focused on what practitioners of these medical arts can do for the patient and what to expect when visiting a practitioner.

While the book does provide descriptions of points that can be stimulated on one's body to alleviate selected conditions as well as visuals in the form of pictures, these are quite limited and not easy to follow.

Also, as I read the book, I was annoyed by the poor editing of the text. Frequent grammatical problems undermine the book's credibility.

Hence my disappointment.

Editorial Review:

If you are interested in knowning more about acupressure and acupuncture, this guide covers all aspects of treatment from choosing a practitioner to follow-up excercises. It provides a comprehensive listing of medical ailments from acne to menopause that can be healed naturally.

Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars.

My horse and I love this book. The author has a gift for presenting theory and practical techniques in a clear, concise, well-organized manner. Anyone, with the intention of wanting to help horses, is able to follow the excellent photos and instructions to achieve this end. Since first reading this book I have studied human massage and bodywork and can attest that there are few instruction manuals of this sort available. The next item on my "desire to learn list" is equine/canine bodywork. After having read and reviewed many related books and DVD's, this book convinced me as to with whom I need to study.

Editorial Review:

Equine Structural Integration: Myofascial Release Manual. This book is a valuable guide to Equine Myofascial Release (MFR)for the horse owner, trainer or therapist wishing to work with horses. It is an essential reference for the professional equine practitioner. This book provides the essential overview and introduction to the techniques required to understand Equine Structural Integration. Equine Structural Integration: Myofascial Release Manual presents a logical series of techniques for bringing more structural order to the horses in your care.

So disappointed 1 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I was so disappointed in this book! It is the most poorly written book I have ever read, which turned me off from the beginning. It doesn't give the reader confidence in the practitioner if he is unable to clearly express his ideas. Of its short 44 pages of information- not including bibliography and so on- 12 pages(more than a quarter of the book!) were focused on anesthesia acupuncture. While that's interesting in its own right, I didn't buy this book to learn about anesthetic properties of acupuncture. Of the less than 20 pages dedicated to the actual practice of facial acupuncture, the information was fairly useful. But I was so irritated with the content and writing by then that I barely cared how good Dr. Adkins' information was. I sadly found this book a waste of money.

What a miracle book! 5 out of 5 stars.

I consider myself very fortunate to have read this book..As a member of KOMD(Korea Orient Medicine Doctor)I read and learned many books related with acupuncture skills. But this book is the best . This book presents very elegant patterns of treatment based upon a profound ancient text combined with decades of clinical expertise, reflection and refinement. The nature of facial rejubanating acupuncture and the treatments discussed is such that it may take effect within few days..I was endebted to this author Paul Adkins for sharing that acu-skills and enriching proud tradition...

Pretty good... 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is so easy to follow. Anyone can follow his directions as far as the acupressure techniques. I have no knowledge of physiology or the acupressure. Overall, it is a great book. I really recommend this book.

Best Accupressure Manual 4 out of 5 stars.
19 of 19 people found this review helpful.

This book has been a godsend. With some experience in accupressure my wife and I have been able to use this book to address all sorts of ills. She once brought down a 104 F fever to normal in 2 hours using the pressure points in this book.

The only downside is that QA on the book is sorely lacking. Points on diagrams are missing in the narratives, the index does not include many common ailments that that are actually covered and can be found by browsing through the pressure point descriptions. There are many other editing mistakes. If this is cleaned up in the second edition, as a working manual this will be second to none.

Well illustrated and lots of symptoms covered 4 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I recently purchased both this book and "Say Good-Bye to Your Allergies" by the same author. This is the much better book - actual information on treating particular symptoms, rather than an extended apology for her NAET system of allergy treatment. The only thing that I really found more distracting than helpful was the use of medical terms when navigating to particular pressure points. I've read several books on accupressure, and this is the only one that requires a decent knowledge of 'Gray's Anatomy' to understand much of what she is saying. The illustrations go a ways to helping that, but I couldn't escape the feeling that the author was trying to make sure that readers knew she REALLY is a medically trained doctor.

Again, aside from that caveat, a good book with lots of maladies addressed.

A NICE POCKET BOOK 4 out of 5 stars.
24 of 24 people found this review helpful.

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR ACUPUNCTURE POCKET BOOK YOU WILL FIND A VERY NICE ONE. WITH PRECISE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOS.
ITS POCKET SIZE IS SUPERB. IT CAN BE USED AS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE.
I GAVE IT FOUR STARS BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS ACUPUNCTURE ATLAS LEADING ME TO THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE A COMPLETE ATLAS WITH ALL POINTS, BUT IT ONLY COVERS SOME POINTS,MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES.
OVERALL IT'S A NICE POCKET BOOK BUT NOT FOR BEGGINERS WHO MUST LOOK FOR A COMPLETE TEXTBOOK BEFORE BUYING THIS,

Editorial Review:

In this update of the 2001 English version of a pocket atlas published in German in 1999, 2005, and 2007. German physicians who practice acupuncture present a visual-didactic introduction to the major acupuncture points (Part I), auricular (ear) acupuncture points (Part II), and trigger points (Part III). The description of each point includes the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology, Western anatomical nomenclature, exact location, indication, depth of needling, function in TCM, and clinical tips. Illustrations include color drawings and photographs. Many of the references are in German.

Editorial Review:

For many centuries, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have relied on face reading for insight into the physical, psychological, and emotional state of a patient. Based on an understanding of the shapes, markings and features of a face, a therapist can discover important facts about the health and life of a patient, related to the principles of Chinese medicine. In addition to understanding how the body's internal functions can be seen on a face, readers will also learn to evaluate non-verbal expressions and assess personality from features and markings of the patient's face.

Clear discussions demonstrate how this technique can be used as a supplement to other diagnostic tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Engaging, insightful, highly readable text is written by a well-known and experienced lecturer in the field.

Extensive illustrations give you a clear understanding of theories and techniques.

A focus on the deeper aspects of face reading and diagnosis helps readers become more conscious of their actions, reactions, and the health consequences of behavior.

What a way to understand Nogier's works! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I found this book well detailed in a very small and consice form. It is great to carry around and even goes into meridian connections instead of simply organ, skeletal, etc systems. It has great pictures and description on locating points. Great for on the go treatments and time constrain treatments.

Editorial Review:

A novelty to the international market both in concept and realization, this pocket atlas allows the reader to both effectively learn and quickly reference ear acupuncture points. Clear, simple images accompany concise and "to-the-point" texts creating an educational tool for the localization of ear acupuncture points.

The resourcefulness of the book is increased by the inclusion of the projection of the body meridians onto the auricle according to Bahr. Besides, "prescriptions" of point combinations according to some indications are included.

The reader will profit from the extensive international teaching experience of Beate Strittmatter. Through her former teacher, Frank Bahr, who cooperated directly with Dr.Paul Nogier, she stands in the direct tradition of the founder of Western auriculotherapy
