I thought the therapy backfired... 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I did not read this book, but after seeing how well my niece was doing on the therapy and researching it from their web-site I too tried it out for six sessions. The certified NAET practitioner I chose to see had several levels of study for credentials, so I felt confident that I was being careful. I went for the therapy to relieve seasonal allergies that plague me during the summer, with the primary symptom being generalized fatigue.

I started the therapy at the end of March and continued every week for the next six weeks. I do not normally have symptoms in March from allergies. I had symptoms after every session which abated after a day or two, but I was not concerned as I was reporting these to the practitioner. Some of the sessions "did not take" and had to be repeated, which is from my understanding a possible occurrence.

After six weeks I stopped because I did not yet see any benefit from the therapy, except for this one which was unexpected: I had been suffering from gastric reflux on a daily basis for the last six months and that completely resolved.

On the negative side, I had the WORST summer I have ever had in my entire life. I am talking about a lying-on-the-couch funk which lasted the entire summer into early fall. No respite, no amount of sleep or vitamins or exercise would shake the heavy feeling of tiredness.

As I had never experienced this level of fatigue before with my allergies, and have tried no other therapies beforehand, I think there is a definite possibly that the NAET therapy either caused or contributed to this situation. After all, if I had had the best summer of my life I would have attributed it to the therapy, surely we can say the same when the opposite happens.

It is now December and I have recovered, though I was so tired that my work suffered (self-employed) and I fell behind on my income production by several thousand dollars. Therefore, think carefully before you try this and ask yourself if you are willing to risk that the therapy will backfire?

This book is an excellent learning tool! 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This book is a great textbook of emergency medicine, and I've chosen it over others simply because it's comprehensive without the useless drivel. Each section includes the necessary anatomy and pathophysiological considerations for the respective disoders. The subset of conditions are mentioned with just enough facts to understand the morbidity to treat it. The pictures, diagrams, algorithmic flow-charts, and drug regimens are a nice compliment, however, most of your clinical experience is going to come from interships and residency, so to assume this book is all you'll need to get by in EM is crazy. I still think it's the best out there to read before putting your mind to work.

Editorial Review:

The essential emergency medicine reference! Covers the gamut of emergency medicine practice in brief, clinically focused chapters. New to this edition are chapters on bioterroism and weapons of mass destruction, pharmacology of antimicrobials, antifungals, and antivirals, principles of drug interactions, endocarditis, and abdominal and pelvic pain in the non-pregnant patient. Pharmacologic considerations, tables of vital differential diagnoses, and observation criteria throughout are new features reflecting developments in this dynamic specialty..

. "considered by most in the discipline to be a bible of emergency medicine".
--Journal of Family Medicine, review of fourth edition..

NOT a 'Study on You Own' Review 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book would probably be a good review IF and only IF you have a hard text that goes along with it or you have attended a school for pharm tech for 2 yrs. This is a workbook ONLY and it doesn't explain the answers and some of the questions involve things that is I have never heard of and there was no way to figure it out without another source to go to. So IF you buy this book, make sure that you have the text book that goes along with it (and I don't know what that is) because if you are studying pharm tech on your own and you haven't gone to school for this, you will be disappointed because it is not a teaching book for review.

Good book, but not on it's own... 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've been using The Pharmacy Technician (2nd edition) and this workbook for self-study over the past 2.5 months. I read the text book cover to cover and I've been casually quizzing myself with this book.

I agree with another one of the reviewers: Unless you have a textbook to go along with this book, it can be hard to use. I would HIGHLY recommend getting BOTH!! The workbook does not really explain any of the answers, which can make it hard to grasp a concept if you don't have something more detailed to refer to. Sometimes, I'll miss a question in the workbook and REALLY have to dig for it in the text book. It would be nice if, in the answer key, they could either include explanations or at least tell you where to look.

The layout of the book is simple & helpful. Each chapter is basically a detailed vocabulary list. At the end of each chapter, there are fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple choice, true/false, and open-ended questions to check understanding. The questions are challenging and will prepare you well, but again, GET THE TEXTBOOK WITH IT. Great book for reviewing, though. It also has a handy list in the back of the top 200 drugs that makes for easy index card making.

(If you're looking for a good math study book, APhA's Complete Math Review for the Pharmacy Technician is REALLY good! Really prepares you well for the math part. I took the practice test in the Workbook & Cert. Review and got EVERY SINGLE math question right.)

No matter which books you get, you need to put in the time or none of them will help! If you haven't taken any courses, I'd recommend at LEAST 2 months (2-3 hrs/day) with the books I mentioned.

Editorial Review:

This workbook can be used by pharmacy technicians as a preparation for the National Examination given by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. This third edition contains a revised Practice Exam.

Through helpful checklists and case studies, you'll finally discover the answers you need, as well as proven strategies for living with APD.

Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction The Trigger Point Manual 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

When I received this book as a present for passing my medical masseuse exams, I thought I received a "how to fix it" book.
These books are much more for they cover anatomy, innervation, function, testing, reasons behind the pain, differential diagnosis, corrective actions all in addition to Triggerpoint Treatment.
The 2 volumes are a must have in your library for daily reference and/or study. The illustrations are a welcome aid to oneself or for explanatory purposes to clients.

Editorial Review:

The classic clinical text in pain management, Travell & Simons' Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction: Trigger Point Manual 2nd Edition , is designed primarily to bring aid to one of the most common patient complaints -- myofascial pain. It is an excellent resource for today's health care environment. Volume 1, Upper Half of Body , combines concise text and clear illustrations that show how to identify pain sources (trigger points - TrPs) quickly by signs and symptoms. Volume 2, The Lower Extremities , focuses on the lower body, with a special focus on the quadratus lumborum muscle, including an extensive review of functional scoliosis and short leg

EMT Basic Flashcards 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I encourage my EMT-B students to purchase this book at the beginning of each course. I have found it to be extremely helpful in studying for their lessons and constant review. Many of my students have come back to me when the course was over and they had tested nationally to tell me they felt this book was a tremendous help to them.

Nice Little Book of Flashcards 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Overall, I found this to be a nice book. The questions are marked with images that make it easy to look up certain topics you are interested in studying or reviewing. There is an index section for this too.

The only "problem" I had with this book is that the rational for only the correct answer is given. I think it would have been better to have the rationals for each answer given.

Editorial Review:

At the age of nineteen, author Tracie Dalessandro was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and eventually Crohn’s disease. After years of trying to heal, Dalessandro realized the power of using diet in conjunction with traditional medicine to control her inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rather than allowing it to control her. Nutrition became the link between feeling sick and feeling well.

What to Eat with IBD: A Comprehensive Nutrition and Recipe Guide for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis is an invaluable resource containing the latest nutrition and diet information for those suffering from IBD. Dalessandro, a registered dietitian, shares her personal experience and expertise in this comprehensive guide, including tips on the following:

• Foods that heal and foods that hurt
• More than fifty nutrient rich, gut-friendly recipes
• Menu planning, including healthy meals and snacks
• What to eat when traveling and dining out
• Critical vitamin and mineral deficiencies and how to correct them

Practical and easy to follow, What to Eat with IBD, will help you feel better, reduce your symptoms, and gain control over your illness.
