Interesting 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Always looking for a book to justify my love of vinegar, I found this book fascinating. Despite the fact they may be promoting their own apple cider vinegar brand, it truly is the best one out there. Anyone reading this will rush out to buy their own bottle, I promise!

Wouldn't buy it again 2 out of 5 stars.

I was very disappointed in the quality of this book. The information was very informative but I felt the book was poorly written.

A True Insight Into The Power Of ACV 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

* Lots of detail and clearly written

* There seems to be an ACV solution to almost every ailment!

* Very simple recipes that are easy to understand and put into practice

* Really convincing.



Although Paul C Bragg did live a healthy and long life, it's abit
disheartening to know that he's no longer with us. It's nice that his
daughter is carrying on his message to the world.

Editorial Review:

Explores the miracle health benefits of organic, raw apple cider vinegar, a natural detox, antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates treated his patients with it and it's been used worldwide since then for its miraculous cleansing and healing qualities.

Editorial Review:

After a shattering near-death experience, Joyce Whiteley Hawkes left her career as a biophysicist and embarked on a study of indigenous healing practices.

Living and working with priests and shamans in the Philippines, South India, and Bali, she explored the previously uncharted territories that divide biology from spirituality -- and discovered that emotional, mental, and spiritual feelings can have a profound and positive impact on our bodies at the cellular level.

Cell-Level Healing shows how our thoughts change the functioning of our cells to repair and renew the body. With profound yet simple exercises, this book provides a guide to tap your innate healing abilities by showing that healing is a basic part of human nature.

Filled with thought-provoking stories and photographs, free of jargon, and thoroughly grounded in Dr. Hawkes's decades of experience in laboratory science and practical, hands-on healing, Cell-Level Healing invites you to explore your intrinsic powers of transformation and regeneration to attain new levels of spiritual and bodily health.

not for everyone 2 out of 5 stars.

like the successor to this book "the maker's diet" this book assumes everyone has the same biological issues as the author. Mercola's book is better.

"Patient Heal Thyself" by Jordan Rubin 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

"Patient Heal Thyself" is the story of Jordan Rubin's recovery from Crohn's disease and how improving his diet played a role. It is a great guide to understanding how to attain better health. This book contains a lot of information on diet that is not mentioned in other books such as fermented foods and the good organisms found in soil. It is a good book to read to help bolster your knowledge of health and diet. I applaud the author on his writing achievement; however, I found it disturbing when he promotes his own company's supplements in this book.

"Patient Heal Thyself" is a good read and has much to teach, if you can get past the promotion for Jordan Rubin's products.

The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness

Riveting examination of the mind/body connection ... 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Author and physician Jerome Groopman offers case studies and vignettes of patients battling "hopeless" conditions - usually grave cancers - but who rebound and prevail against great odds, often confounding their doctors. Such case studies are usually dismissed by the medical community with the label of being "anecdotal." Groopman writes like a novelist and the studies are riveting, touching and inspiring.

For a while, a certain unease gnawed at me. Each case study was of patients who survived against great odds. Beyond the rosy happy endings, there was another problem. The undercurrent seemed to be that, if patients didn't thrive, it was their own damn fault for not being hopeful enough - one more way for doctors to make themselves feel better. However, Groopman leavens his "success stories" with at least one that did not involve prevailing over cancer. He has also been in the position of being a patient with an intractable back problem, perhaps giving him a rare crash course in empathy and a first-hand taste of the role of hope.

In his book, "Man's Search for Meaning," Viktor Frankl says something like "Man can endure any what so long as he has a why..." If you have a reason to live and to look forward to something, you can prevail over great odds, whether at Auschwitz or against liver cancer.

This powerful but concise book explores that mind/body connection and is useful for those who are not grappling with life-threatening conditions. Regardless, we all grapple with life.

"The Anatomy of Hope" documents the positive physiological responses evoked by the rays of hope that poke through the gloom.

Editorial Review:

Why do some people find and sustain hope during difficult circumstances, while others do not? What can we learn from those who do, and how is their example applicable to our own lives? The Anatomy of Hope is a journey of inspiring discovery, spanning some thirty years of Dr. Jerome Groopman’s practice, during which he encountered many extraordinary people and sought to answer these questions.

This profound exploration begins when Groopman was a medical student, ignorant of the vital role of hope in patients’ lives–and it culminates in his remarkable quest to delineate a biology of hope. With appreciation for the human elements and the science, Groopman explains how to distinguish true hope from false hope–and how to gain an honest understanding of the reach and limits of this essential emotion.

Editorial Review:

For the millions who suffer from the effects of a traumatic experience, this book offers help and hope and provides the diverse elements needed for lasting recovery. Trauma can take many forms, from the most disturbing of circumstances such as witnessing a murder or violent crime to the subtle trauma of living with the effects of abuse or alcoholism.

By helping people recognize the coping mechanisms and by dealing directly with the effects of a traumatic experience, there is a great reason for hope. The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook is a guide for both survivors and their loved ones, helping them to see that on the other side of their pain is recovery and growth.

• Explains the psychic defenses that can go into effect to protect a victim from further emotional harm
• Provides information on triggers and the debilitating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder
• Addresses how the healing process can begin and how fear diminishes through a variety of medic and nonmedicinal treatment methods

Editorial Review:

Despite Centers for Disease Control estimates that only 20,000 new Lyme disease infections occur each year, the true figure, as Harvard medical school researchers have found, nearly approaches 200,000. Symptoms run from mild lethargy to severe arthritis to incapacitating mental dysfunction. And despite medical pronouncements to the contrary, extensive research has found that tests for the disease are not very reliable and antibiotics are only partially effective; up to 35 percent of those infected will not respond to treatment or will relapse. The spirochetes that cause Lyme are stealth pathogens—they can hide within cells or alter their form so that antibiotics cannot affect them. Lyme disease is, in fact, a potent, emerging epidemic disease for which technological medicine is only partially effective.
Healing Lyme examines the leading, scientific research on Lyme infection, its tests and treatments, and outlines the most potent herbal medicines and supplements that offer help—either alone or in combination with antibiotics—for preventing and healing the disease. It is the essential guide to Lyme infection and its treatment.

Breathing 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This could probably have been condensed into 1 CD as it seems to go on a long time with description before getting down to the breathing exercise bit. (Although it is very soothing to listen to with all the new age music in the background!) The breathing exercises are very effective and it is certainly easier to follow along with Andrew Weil as he does the exercises than to try to figure it out from a book description.

You would think we know how to do this! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I thought I was pretty good at breathing; after all I've made it to 60 years old quite well with what I knew ;-) but this opens up a completely different way of approaching the subject and one I have really enjoyed.

I have just started on my learning journey, but I am enjoying it immensely.

I do have to agree with one of the other reviewers though, once you have heard the lecture on the first CD, you really don't have to ever listen to it again.

Editorial Review:

A complete course of eight breathing exercises that Dr. Andrew Weil uses in his own life, and has prescribed to hundreds of patients over the past two decades. In plain language, Dr. Weil explains the secret of breathwork’s power over our health, and its remarkable ability to influence – and even reprogram – the nervous system. A practical introduction to this crucial aspect of self healing, presented by this bestselling author and influential physician.

Editorial Review:

"Tedy gives you something to believe in. Whether we're winning or losing, he holds his head high, and he knows himself and handles himself so well, others can't help but follow him. The way he practices and plays forces you to become a better teammate; the way he demands hustle and toughness forces you to become a better leader; and the way he carries himself inspires you to become a better person. This made his return to playing on October 30 against Buffalo all the more electrifying. The stadium was louder that night than the nights we had raised our Super Bowl banners. Our captain, our leader, our inspiration was back on the field doing what he loved to do. Tedy had spent months rehabbing, had countless doctor visits, and had undergone hundreds of tests trying to play again. Just eight months after our victory in Super Bowl XXXIX, here we were celebrating a much bigger victory on our home field. Sure it was great to win the game, but that night we were celebrating Tedy's return as he showed us teammates, fans, family, and friends what it takes to become victorious in life.

"You might be coming to this book as a fan of Tedy's football skills and, don't get me wrong, gaining the insights of one of the best defenders in Patriots history is worth the price of admission, but that's just part of the story. There are a lot of reasons to look up to him, and I promise you will finish this book with an admiration for him on a much deeper level."
--Tom Brady (from the Foreword)
