Editorial Review:

This is the first book written exclusively about the Master Cleanse (also called the Lemonade Diet) since it was developed and published by Stanley Burroughs in 1976. Made even more popular by Robin Quivers, Howard Stern's producer, and Beyonce, to lose weight for her role in the movie "Dreamgirls", 100,000-plus people do this cleanse each year to detoxify, lose weight, have more energy and feel happier. Requiring no special shakes or pills, the ingredients can be found in nearly any health food store. This book, currently in the second edition, includes 70 most frequently asked questions, personal experiences and testimonials of the more than 100 people who did the Master Cleanse in January 2004.Mentioned in the "NY Times", "London Times", "NY Daily News", "Us Weekly", Geraldo's web blog and on NBC's "Today Show", both first and second editions have consistently been on Amazon's "Alternative Medicine" bestseller list. This is the only book about the Master Cleanse that discusses detox symptoms and what to do about them and tells what to expect while on the cleanse.

Editorial Review:

Use nature's elixir to lose weight, prevent heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, and beautify skin and hair.

Can saturated fat be good for you?

Natural coconut oil-not the hydrogenated version often found in processed foods-is a saturated fat, but not the kind your doctor has warned you about. Studies have shown that this uniquely curative oil actually has innumerable health benefits ranging from disease prevention to anti-aging. Now, in his revised edition of the first book to describe the therapeutic properties of coconut oil, Bruce Fife offers a nutrition plan with dozens of tasty recipes that will allow anyone to experience the healing miracles of what he deems the "perfect food."

When taken as a supplement, used in cooking, or applied to directly to the skin, coconut oil has been found to:

- Promote weight loss
- Help protect against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and many other degenerative diseases
- Strengthen the immune system
- Improve digestion
- Prevent premature aging of the skin

Great Recipes! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I'm always looking for healthier options for meals and this book is great for that! I've only tried a couple so far but they've been very tasty and relatively easy to prepare, even for me, a total beginner in the kitchen! They did take a little longer than the 15, 20, or 30 minutes, but that could have been because I'm kind of new at preparing meals so I'm probably slower than the average cook. I'm very happy with my purchase and plan to use it alot!

Yummy! 5 out of 5 stars.

not what I expected 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book is not quite what I expected. The nutritional information I hoped to find is either not there or too hard to find. The back index doesn't show what I needed to find. I am sure the doctor who wrote this book did a very good job, but it was more clinical than I had hoped. I did receive it when it was promised, however.

Great book! Please write one a book about remedies and treatments 5 out of 5 stars.

I think this is an excellent book. The most important health book I've ever read so far. I haven't finished the book yet, I'm halfway through it, but already, half of the book I've read so far is the most informative stuff I've seen with answers to questions I wondered about. The book sheds light on some of my medical problems and is pretty comprehensive, it seems, about the ill effects of each of the substances addressed. I'm writing before I totally finish the book (i've gone ahead and looked at the suggestions for treatment) with the hopes that Dr. Blaylock reads these reviews. I would love for you, Dr. Blaylock to write a book with equal detail about alternative treatments. You've touched on some of it with your vitamin suggestions and some chelation recommendations. I wonder though, what types of vitamins would you recommend, synthetic versus food based? What about those fillers in the synth. vitamins, some of the fillers in these vitamins look strange, with weird names. A lot of them contain magnesium stearate and some other unpronounceable stuff, excipients which I'm not sure are good for us. The Organic Consumers Assn did a write up about the rise of cancer with the rise of synthetic vitamins. What about that type of stuff? Also, what about diet? Are some foods better than others? Are there foods that chelate I've heard cilantro, but how much can that chelate? Is MSG damage permanent? Is there a way to reverse this if a person has had years and years of MSG? Also, once you have Parkinsons or early Alzheimers, what can anyone do? Also, if the brain is elastic, can you recommend activities that can help us along with vitamin/food treatments. This is what I'd like to see next. I'm going to buy several more copies of the Health and Nutrition secrets as presents for Christmas to friends I care about. Thanks for writing about this stuff, it seems you are the only M.D. to write a serious book about these issues? I hope that other MD's read this and actually learn from it.

Editorial Review:

Learn how the chemicals and compounds you encounter every day can lead to unexpected health complications and life-threatening disorders. Health and Nutrition Secrets presents the latest information about strokes and heart attacks, diabetes, protecting the digestive system, and the best ways to keep the immune system young and powerful. New revised edition has chapter on The Role of Fats in Health.

Good trainer's reference. 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have added this book to my others as a good reference for assembling Reiki training classes. As with all manuals of this type, the author presents the information from her perspective, based on her experience and expertise. The reader must take what works and leave the rest, which is fine. Stein is a fine author and instructor and I applaud her approach to opening the doors to Reiki. I found her negative references to male participation in this healing art unnecessary. It served to distract from her overall purpose and credibility of her text and was best left out of print.

spiritual enlightenment 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book was recommended to me by my Reiki Teacher before beginning my Reiki Training. That was about 2 years ago and I still can't seem to put this book down. It is full of information. For anyone who wants to open their minds to Reiki this is book is an absolute must.

Editorial Review:

Deriving from Tibetan Buddhism, Reiki is a method of "laying on hands". Presenting information on all three degrees of this healing system, this book aims to provide everything that the healer, practitioner and teacher needs. From self healing, group healing and healing others, to the Master Symbol and passing Attunements, this work demystifies the secrets of this ancient art.

Very Good Indeed 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This kit is a great introduction to safe and practical energy work that will gradually lift, harmonize and rebalance your systems. Anyone wanting to start healing themselves should buy it in my opinion; it's my first recommend in the field of spiritual self-healing. In terms of effectiveness, easy learnability, safety and even fun, these practices have outperformed everything else I've tried that was similar, including some forms of qigong and tai chi. You can see for yourself that there are 43 positive reviews written prior to mine, and not a single negative one.

Most of the exercises given here have been very helpful to me, and a couple have practically revolutionized my existence. There were also a couple that didn't seem to do good things for me, but perhaps I should have expected that, as my energy system does behave rather oddly at times.

The presentation is excellent. There's a crystal, which I didn't use much, plus a DVD and a CD. The DVD is a recording of a workshop with Eden herself, demonstrating the techniques with a small studio audience, and the CD is her speaking directly to the listener and describing further techniques. You will have no trouble learning her ideas or methods, she communicates them perfectly.

To me the most valuable thing in the kit was the deck of cards. As opposed to putting the exercises in book format, 43 cards are provided which detail one exercise per card. This has been so useful to me. I do two meditation sessions every day; in the morning, I have a stack of cards ready with my personal group of exercises (including the basic exercises Eden says are most important). I change these every now and then, and swap cards in and out from my regular exercises according to what I need in a given week. In the evening I experiment more, thumbing through the rest of the deck and picking out more things to try. As a result I have gradually tried everything and worked out what's good for me in a very improvisational way.

Also in the kit is a slim booklet written by Eden, containing some basic energy information and autobiographical details. She is as warm, sincere and sensitive as one would expect, and she is also highly intelligent and inspiring on her subject matter.

I give this kit my warmest recommendation.

Editorial Review:

Donna Eden invites you to learn the unspoken language of your body to boost your energy levels, address many specific health problems, and foster your overall health. You begin by learning a powerful "Daily Energy Practice" that combines simple movements, pressure point massage, and breathwork to create a reservoir of "vital life force" that you can draw upon throughout the day. The Energy Medicine Kit comes complete with: A 28-page booklet that teaches you the fundamentals of energy medicine and points you to specific exercises on the DVD and CD. 43 photo-illustrated Energy Medicine Cards. A DVD that demonstrates the methods of energy medicine and teaches you 15 restorative exercises. An audio CD that guides you through 21 more techniques for specific conditions. A one-inch cut glass crystal.

Editorial Review:

An expert physician/ nurse team offers a practical, hands-on program to restore thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive balance-and feel better fast.

You're exhausted, and you've gained weight; you feel mentally fuzzy much of the time, and don't feel that you handle day-to-day stress as well as you once did. Worried, you visit the doctor, who orders the typical battery of tests. Two weeks later, you're assured that everything's fine.

Sound familiar? If you're one of the 33 million Americans suffering from hormone-related metabolic problems, the answer is a resounding yes. Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled? is the first book to expose and address the delicate, life-altering balance among the thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. This multi-gland approach-missing from other hormone-related books-can make the day-to-day difference between feeling awful and feeling good. If left untreated long-term, this imbalance can cause heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, infertility, and severe menopause.

Practical and hands-on, this book offers readers: an innovative, integrated self-care program to identify their thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive-related metabolic disorder (through easy, inexpensive, noninvasive diagnostic tests and questionnaires); a "5-day jumpstart program" to help alleviate symptoms of weight gain, low energy, or frayed nerves fast (through vitamins, minerals, and nutrition); and a long-term plan to achieve optimal health, complete with advice for finding and partnering with the right doctor.

The perfect gift for people you love when they're diagnosed with Cander. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

12+ years ago when my surgeon told me I had breast cancer (my second bout with cancer), she gave me this book. Not only did it help me develop, sustain and exude a positive attitude during my entire treatment phase, but it made me a touchstone for anyone else who was diagnosed with cancer and contacted me. Since that time, whenever someone that is near and dear to me, someone that I truly love and want to do something positive for when they are diagnosed with cancer, I give them a copy of this book. Not one of them has died to date. My most recent gift of the book has been to my husband and he is visibly changing his attitude as he reads it.

Editorial Review:

Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day--patients who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery.

"Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and get this amazing book that explains how you can 'think' yourself sick or well...Every family should have a copy. It can be a lifesaver."

Thank you Dr. Rothschild 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book is wonderful. It is the best of many books I have read on trauma's effects and the treatment of trauma survivors. As a survivor myself, I found the book immensely calming. It illuminated many things I did not notice and explained so many parts of myself that I have lost touch with or no longer understand. Most importantly, it gave truly effective ways of communicating with myself and my body in order to calm myself and learn effective coping mechanisms.

Aside from all that, the book is just plain interesting. The mind-body connection is a fascinating thing. Wow!

Good for lay person and provider alike 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I read this book cover to cover. I found it extremely easy to read. I have recommended this book to several of my colleagues that assist patients with trauma. I feel like this book could be also given to patients. I felt it contained enough biological data to assist persons to understand the basis for the trauma response.

Editorial Review:

Traumatised people hold a memory of that trauma in their brains and bodies. This is the first book to link this phenomenon of somatic memory and the impact of trauma on the body. Reducing the chasm between scentific theory and clinical practice, Rothschild presents techniques for addressing the memory in the body.
