Diet Books

This is still effective reading on the therapeutic uses of fruits and vegetables.The book was published some twenty years ago,and has the mind-set of the natural food craze of the late 20th century.The nutrient information is still useable and the one hundred plus delicious recipes are still tasty sounding.There are more volumnous health books around,that have more complete information on nutrition listings. What i liked most about the book is that of the little known history about the natural foods.And how they came into our Western foodbaskets.This book is not a great encyclopedia on organic foods and advanced meal recipes.Yet,there are many interesting buyer suggestions that can be used to improve your daily diet.This food book should be used as a helpful guide to making smart choices concerning disease-fighting foods and replacing processed foods from your menu.

Well, Dr. Jensen again has to teach a lesson to most of us. If you don't know who Dr. Jensen, you need to find out and do what he says. Really. He was a pioneer in nutrition, alternative therapies and iridology (diagnostic through iris study) - lived for 93 years until 2001. Being saved himself through nutrition from an incurable - at least at that time, in the 20's - lung disease, he turned out to study how foods impact our health. He traveled worldwide, and learned about the food of many nations. Not only that, he saved a lot of lives and taught people about the way we are supposed to eat to have a vibrant health. The first book of Dr. Jensen that I've read - titled "Doctor-Patient Handbook"; I'll post a review some day - is a good introduction to the process of natural healing, about diet, about fasting and about healing that appear when the body is ready to undo old diseases.
This one book starts by presenting the work and principles of Dr. Jensen's two idols: one is the ancient Greek Hippocrates, the creator of the doctors' oath, and the other is Victor G. Rocine, who had Jensen as a student for years. They both had things in common, as you'll see in the book. Quoting Hippocrates: "Let medicine be thy food and food be thy medicine". From the work of Rocine you will learn some very important things about the body chemistry, how the foods contain such chemicals (e..g. sodium, calcium) and how the influence that balance; how the body fights against bad diet (of course by worsening other parts, such as the joints), and so on. It's an eye opener!
Then, in the next chapter, Dr. Jensen talks about his own work, how he improved what he had been taught, applied on his own patients and taught them how to eat. For example, he explains why eating the seeds for most fruits is something that we should be doing. Also, there are table explaining which foods are best for some bodily system (nervous, digestive, respiratory, etc.), and a long table presenting some health facts and tips for many veggies and fruits.
The second part of the book is a fairly long list of section, each being dedicated to one particular fruit or veggie. For each of them, the history is presented (where it is believed to have been originated, when it started being cultivated in Europe and America), about its varieties, where it is grown in the USA, peak months. Also, there is a subsection on therapeutical value, that, food's effect on the body and when it's best to use it or how to cook it. The section ends with a table presenting vitamin and mineral facts for that particular food.
The book's last part - the third - is a recipe collection. You might learn some new tips from there related to how to cook without destroying too much of the nutrients. However, what I liked most from this recipe part is the following excerpt:
"When someone asked what I most like to cook, I was embarrassed to admit that I do no especially like to cook. The reason that I cook is to eat well, feel good, and be healthy."
You wouldn't expect to hear this from a nutrition doctor, would you? He, he really loved his work and helping people.

This is an excellent little book. This book offers "foods that heal" and interesting health/food subjects, as well, as a myriad of helpful food factoids and tips to assist the reader on the road to wellness.

Dr. Jensen not only goes into depth about each of the foods he has chosen as the ones that heal, offering a ton of history for each and how each food can best be used, but he also quickly built a foundation about the very basic physiological needs of the body. From there, Dr. Jensen discusses the most common mineral deficiencies in humans and which foods are rich in them.

Among his many helpful offerings, Dr. Jensen provides a small list of common disorders and juice recipe cocktails that can help the conditions. He also has a chart of the 12 major body systems, which vitamins and minerals they require, and from which foods and herbs you can get them from. ANOTHER chart he offers is what he calls a "food remedy troubleshooting chart" which is basically just a quick overview of what is to come. It's a list of all the "chosen" foods, which chemical elements are most prominent, and what the foods are best FOR.

Dr. Jensen also quickly touches upon his food philosophy and beliefs and his suggestions for diet, such as eating 60% raw, 80% alkaline foods, etc.

Overall, this is just an excellent book, chock full of information. There's no way anyone could lose out from owning this awesome book. There is just so much offered here, I can't imagine ANYONE not being satisfied with it.

And just something worth noting, all of the foods in the book, with the exception of two items (lima beans and lentils), are either a fruit or vegetable. And while that is the case, he does mention some other foods that he believes to be wonderful in their healing and nutritive properties.

Bernard Jensen is a brilliant and accredited nutritionist and natural healer. This book is an excellent source of nutritional information for the person who is willing to change their diet to understand that all ailments can be traced back to what we eat. Change your diet change your health. His philosophy is sound and scientifically accurate. You can make a difference in your health by choosing the correct foods. Food is the first medicine and Dr. Jensen describes the therapeutic values of many foods for specific ailments; lists nutrient availability of many foods and adds recipes to boot. This book is a must for anyone who is even contemplating natural healing or seeking preventive measures to ill health. Dr. Jensen is a gifted teacher and I highly recommend all of his published materials.

Love the way this book is organized. If you want to look up a given food, you don't need to look it up in an index, then search thru a lot of text on various pages. Foods are alphabetized and the one thing that stands out with this book is that it doesn't give a food's value, stating "large peach," etc. It will give the weight of the food and value per that weight. Perfect. I call it my food bible.

This book gives practical advice and guidance to caregivers of both the elderly and others requiring on-going care. In addition, the book gives positive encouragement and uplifiting thoughts. It would have helped me in the past and I know it will help me in the future. Every family seems to be facing caregiving situations these days. This book will help!

A superior book to help all ages deal with the feelings associated with caregiving to aging parents. It is a guide to help deal with the non-system of healthcare, healthcare financing, and disjointed services. The key contribution of the book is the interactive format which encourages recording of vital information prior to the time that it is needed in crisis. The 14 friends have made a great contribution of their own experiences and honestly shared emotions to help guide others through tough times. The book is be a must read for all people facing the care of parents. After you read it you will be comforted by the clear understanding that you are not alone and there are sources of help!

The correct title of the book isFourteen Friends' Guide to Eldercarin

The book is basic in its approach to elder caring. Because the book is written by fourteen different people it is repedative in areas. This book completely ignores the wonderful counsel of daily Bible reading and prayer in elder care giving. My Mother suffering with Alzheimer's, loves to have the Bible read to her. "What a friend we have in Jesus".

This book gives advice on both practical aspects of caring forthe eldery and the more emotional aspect of understanding theiractions. I found that I made quite a few realizations about the behavior of my grandparents (any one of which would have made the book worth my time). The section for recording information such as "Grocery stores that deliver" gave me great ideas about ways to improve their access to things they need. There are so many little things that make a huge impact on our elderly loved ones. This book gives great suggestions. I highly recommend it.

When I found this book I knew I had to have it. Lots of really great simple recipes for instance hair rinses, aromatic baths, lotions, vaporisation blends and perfumes. The writing is clear and interesting to read, worded very new agey with exotic names for the recipes like Return To the Source Bath, and A Sprinkling of Fantasy hair rinse. Highly recommended aromatherapy book and those interested in perfume and sensuality.

Make evocative recipes to scent your body, bath, and home. Bring out your hidden sensuality, relieve stress, enliven and beautify your senses and your spirit.

This is such a delightful book to read and to use. The author manages to combine clear, simple instructions while still managing to capture the reader's interest and imagination with her narrative on the history, effects and uses of the oils. And the blends do work!

The Fragrant Veil is prose, but it reads like poetry and pulls you into its very sensual stories about the history, properties, and suggested beauty uses of essential oils. Amazing that such useful information is such a pleasure to read. I felt beautiful just reading the book, and it inspired me to purchase and use many of the oils described.

Beautifully written and with an obvious passion for aromatherapy, Elisabeth Millar's book entices you into the sensuous, magical world of fragrance. The book suggests many ideas to create your own body lotions, bath oils and perfumes with the aim of pure unadulterated pleasure and indulgence!! A great gift for any woman!!

A piece of advice for those who want to buy this book: you can order it from the website http://www.thegardenofeatingdiet.com/ and pay $34.95 + $10 s&h. The prices on Amazon and Half.com are outrageous!

I purchased her book at a La Leche League conference and LOVE it!!! The recipes are so healthy and sound amazing...The 1st half really explores the history of human's eating habits and where they should be now...

This is more than a cookbook, it a a guide to everything about food that you should know. Rachel and Don have done a terrific job in preparing a comprehensive handbook. The recipes are great. My favorite part is the fact that they give you variations on each recipe, plus they are easy to modify for yourself.
Also, the information on how we should be eating has been researched and presented well. If nothing else, rereading those sections will keep you to this "diet". They prove that it isn't really a diet, but a lifestyle choice. They also provide many tips on where to get hard to find products, or products at a lower price. The kitchen tips have saved me time and money. I am an experienced cook, and found several common sense things in the book that I never even thought of. The down to earth style is very informative.
This is the book for anyone looking for a healthier way to live. The results I have seen, both in myself and others, have been tremendous. I recommend it to anyone!

I can't thank Rachel and Don Matesz enough for putting all of their incredible knowledge and expertise into this fantastic book. It is much more than a cookbook, it is a way of living. Their thorough introductory chapters explain the diet that we as human beings were designed to eat. Then they move on to how to set up a natural foods kitchen, giving an extensive list of recommendations on foods and kitchen tools. Just these two sections of the book would make it worth the price. But then there are the tons of EXCELLENT, EASY (no ridiculously long prep work), and TASTY recipes, which are all grain-free and dairy-free. When I follow this diet I feel just FANTASTIC! No more stomach bloating. No more allergies. My skin looks great.

Another thing that I love about this book is the down-to-earth tone that is used throughout. Don and Rachel are REAL people and admit their past mistakes (they talk about their problems with their past macrobiotic and vegetarian diet). And their enthusiasm for eating well shines throughout.

My only criticism? I want another book ASAP! I would absolutely love it if they wrote another book dedicated to feeding babies and children. I hope it is a project they'll consider one day.

If you only buy one book today make it the Garden of Eating. You won't be sorry.

As the mother of a child with food allergies and a health food fanatic, I cannot find one thing "wrong" with this book. Which is crazy because I can usually find something absent or misinforming in all cookbooks.

The recipes are stellar and easy. My family loves everything I have made from this book.

I reccomend it to ALL parents going gluten/dairy/soy/corn free. You must have this book. Not just for the recipes but for the priceless information about your food as well.

I am a mother of a 3 year with ADD/ADHD. A Chiropractor suggested a wheat free diet might help her, so I did so. I had no idea where to start. I found this cook book at the health food store and in really helped me get on the right foot learning how to cook wheat free. And let me tell you, it IS a LEARNING process if you're used to traditional cooking. This is a basic cook book with traditonal american foods. All of Carol's cookbooks are awesome, try another once you've graduated from this one.
---And yes this way of life has calmed my child down a lot!!

Enhanced with new flours and new formulas, Gluten-Free 101: Easy, Basic Dishes Without Wheat by Carol Fenster (Food Editor, "Living Without" magazine) is an informed and informative instructional resource for gluten-free dining, as well as being a thoroughly "kitchen cook friendly" guide to creating tasty recipes for folks who must avoid wheat and gluten because of food allergies. From Potato Bread; Peanut Butter Cookies; and Spicy Breaded Chicken; to Cheese Bread Balls; Carrot Cake; Spaghetti & Meatballs, and more, Gluten-Free 101 proves that wheat isn't necessary in order to enjoy a first-rate range of basic favorites and culinary delights.

I'm delighted that I could transform my wheat intolerance into a gratifying business that helps people eat the foods they love-without the ingredients they don't want. ~Carol Fenster

Carol Fenster, Ph.D. is one of America's gluten-free experts. Her work appears on the Health Network and she enjoys developing gluten-free products for manufacturers. She also counsels patients who are allergic to gluten. Carol's journey began with a case of chronic sinusitis. When she stayed away from wheat, she finally found relief.

Celiac disease now afflicts 1:133 Americans and is now the nation's most common inherited autoimmune disorder. Celiacs have to avoid gluten because it prevents the absorption of nutrients in food. This causes a cascading problem and can lead to anemia, osteoporosis and other health problems like rashes, stomach aches and general fatigue.

When I went to the store to find a Gluten-Free Flour Blend, I found the GF Garbanzo and Fava Flour blend by Bob's Red Mill. Apparently, Carol developed a gluten-free line for Bob's Red Mill. She also gives the recipe for her Sorghum Flour blend in this book.

Today I made the most delicious Banana Muffins using Carol's recipe from page 73. It is a quick bread recipe and you can make a Banana Bread variation. I did use ¾ cup milk instead of the recommended ¼-1/3. So, if you choose to buy a premixed flour blend, you might need to slightly adapt the liquid quantities. Overall, I was very impressed with the recipe and made 24 delicious and healthy banana muffins for breakfast. I'll freeze the leftover muffins for future banana muffin cravings.

Last week, I decided to try the Basic Bread recipe in my bread machine and then sliced the bread thinly and dried it out in the oven for 20 minutes to make crackers. They are the best crackers I've ever tasted. So far, I've only found rice-based crackers at the store, so this was a wonderful solution. You will need to look for items like potato starch, Xanthan gum, guar gum, soy lecithin and cider vinegar. I used rice wine vinegar and another flour in place of the potato starch. So, these recipes can also be adapted to taste. Most of the ingredients are now readily available at your grocery store on the natural foods isle. If you can't locate these in your town, Carol gives plenty of online sources.

This book is simply fascinating because the author is so knowledgeable and even suggests that you stay away from some flours you would never suspect. Her alternative list of flours for Gluten-Free baking will also be useful when you are shopping and reading labels. If you normally use wheat as a thickener, you might want to try Agar, Arrowroot, Cornstarch or Guar Gum. There is a handy substitute list on page 23.

If you decide you are serious about the gluten-free lifestyle, you might want to go through this book and make a list of the special ingredients. Once you have rounded up about 5 main ingredients, you can easily put together a number of healthy recipes. Xanthan gum, gelatin powder, tapioca flour, potato starch, soy lecithin, guar gum, sorgum flour, tapioca flour and a choice of corn flour, almond flour or bean flour are needed for this cookbook. It is nice to know that if you are allergic to nuts, you can also use bean flour or corn flour.

Recipes I'm dreaming about trying:

Breakfast Pizza
Granola with Rice Flakes
Peanut Butter Cookies - I'll use Soy Butter
Chicken Fried Steak
Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Personally, I have a ton more energy when I stay away from wheat products, so this recipe book is helping me to adapt my lifestyle. I'm also excited about trying the Bob's Red Mill flours in my own recipes.

~The Rebecca Review

This is a good book if you don't mind eating refined sugar, butter, and milk. The recipes are good if you are on a traditional American diet, but I do wish that she had at least discussed non-dairy and non-refined sugar substitutes. If you already know how to use substitutions, I would recommend this. Otherwise I would suggest getting a different how-to book and perhaps getting this one as substitute. Overall, however, this book is exactly what it says in the title - the recipes are easy and I like the easy-going writing style.

I just love this cookbook. It has been so useful to me for lots of reasons. There is a section in it on how exactly to make gluten-free bread and bread machines. And, if you know anything about cooking/baking gluten-free you'll understand that it's not always an easy task. There are several recipes I have tried and most have been very good. Carol Fenster seems to really know her stuff. I am quite pleased with my purchase!!

My 4 year old daughter was having outpatient eye surgery on both of her eyes so I had a difficult time finding the "perfect" book to fit her needs, but this book did a great job with everything. It is a little out of date, but all of the material in the book was still very helpful information. The only time she cried was when I walked her into the operating room! REALLY!! Everything else she knew what to expect-mostly because of the book. I would highly recommend it.

This book was a great help when preparing my 2.5 year old son for his operation. He knew what to expect and luckily, the preliminary exam such as taking weight and blood pressure even followed the exact order as the book. Some of the text was a bit too advanced for him, so I just simplified as I read it. The pictures are very 80's but so are a lot of hospitals. He was not at all frightened by what happened and this book was a big part of the reason.

I purchased this book in hopes that it would help ease some fears for my 6 year old, who needs an operation and will be in the hospital for several days. We read it every night, and it has really helped her. She doesn't seem be as scared as she was when we first told her about the surgery. It really helps prepare them for the stay. It's an older book, but still good information.

Mr. Rogers always does a good job explaining difficult situations in his books. This one is no exception. I was pleased with the content and I was able to apply it to my daughter's situation of her specific surgery. Even though her's was outpatient and the child in the story stays overnight, it was still good for us.

Great book for prepping for a hospital trip,a little dated,but we were even able to read over it again in the waiting rooms,and point out stuff that was in the book.We feel it help him prepare because it was "real" information,instead of always having cartoon characters.

I'm sitting here in a double knit shirt , eating a mortadella and salami sandwich reconnecting with my Goomba roots after reading this. Right on the money for all the east coast Italian guys out there who grew up hanging around Goombas. You know who you are...pick this up and get real. You will immediately crave a big italian dinner, among other things.

Steve Schirripa's new book kept me laughing the entire time! In an age of celebrity diets and exercise programs, it is a needed relief! Great book!!

I just finished reading Steve Schirripa's new book "The Goomga Diet". The book is a hilarious, insightful and interesting look at one man's experience as an Italian-American and, of course, is a must read for fans of The Sopranos.

I loved this book and refer back to it often! The recipes, stories and humor are savory treats that satisfy the stomach and the mind! We should all (As the author recommends) live large and love it!

Steve Schirripa's "The Goomba Diet" does for Italian cuisine what "The Da Vinci Code" does for Catholicism -- the only difference is that once the Pope reads Schirripa's book, he's going to make Steve an official Saint. Following in the tradition of his previous literary masterpieces, ("The Goomba's Guide to Life" and "The Goomba's Guide to Love") Schirripa has accomplished the impossible by writing a book that's even funnier than his first two. Whether you're Italian or Jewish, fat or thin, heterosexual or a fanook, "The Goomba Diet" delivers a powerful message from which the world can benefit. And by "the world", I mean overweight Italian criminals indicted under the RICO Statute who enjoy Penne Arrabiata. Not only is "The Goomba Diet" superior to any book currrently on the New York Times bestseller list, but it proves why Steve Schirripa deserves to host his own late night network television talk show -- he's far more talented than Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daly, and or that annoying Scottish guy on CBS. And if boring idiots like "Jerry R. from Montreal" like this book, then it can be enjoyed by EVERYONE.

This book is packed with information on men's health. It covers everything from diet and exercise, through men's maladies (prostate, bladder and problems of the genitals). It covers everything in an easy-to-understand manner that includes many charts and diagrams. In particular I appreciated the section on exercise and stretching, and have revamped my exercise regimen based on this book. I am glad I got this book, and recommend it to all men.

Life saving information is in this very well written book. I learned smokers can develop bladder cancer besides the norm such as heart disease. Get this book if you are past 40 and/or avoid seeing a doctor for checkups. There are many easy to read articles in this book which you may feel too embrassed to discuss with your doctor.

My husband I found this book to be very informative. The material was presented in a lucid and engaging fashion. We found the chapters on diet, exercise, and prostate especially helpful.

This is an excellent medical reference book for men. The information is very well organized into three separate parts: 1) what makes men different, 2) what makes men healthy, and 3) men's main diseases, how to prevent them, test for them, and treat them. The book is quite long at 470 pages. But, it reads easily. And, it makes for an excellent medical reference to go back to when you want specific scientific information on various men's health topics.

The best part about the book is that it is based on extensive medical studies. The advice provided is the result of statistically significant conclusions derived from these studies. Thus, the objectivity, integrity, and intelligence derived from this book is so much greater than from any of the medical authors positioning themselves as the current diet or health care guru.

The book confirms the value of EFV. The ultimately healthy lifestyle consists of a lot of Exercise with a diet that includes lots of Fruits and Vegetables. These three factors (exercise, fruits, vegetables) appear to be universal protectors against all age related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Similarly, the high risk factors regardless of the health risk considered seemed to be always the same, including: smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, lots of saturated fats and trans fats in the diet.

The book has a ton of information besides the self-evident basics mentioned above. There are lots of tables, graphs, and summaries that make the information easy to retrieve. These include info on BMI, PSA test levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, recommended frequencies of screening tests, recommended dosage and toxic levels of vitamins and minerals, Glycemic index, life expectancy charts, and lots more interesting stuff.

With the medical knowledge derived from this book, you will be in a far better position to take care of your health and initiate a mutually productive dialogue with your general practitioners and specialists. The World is getting increasingly complex. Technology and science evolve rapidly. Nowhere does this increasing complexity have a greater impact than on healthcare. This book will help you understand your health, risk factors, relevant testing, and cures to be considered.

As we age, we will invariably be faced with some challenging options and decisions. This book is a great road map to help us out along the way. If you are well informed, it takes a lot of anxiety out of the equation. That takes care of a major health risk already [stress and anxiety]. This book is good for you!

Along the same line of excellent health related information, I also strongly recommend another great book from Harvard Health Publications: "Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy" by Walter C. Willett. It is the best book on diet and nutrition I have ever read. And, that is also because it is based on scientific studies, and not on subjective opinions from egocentric blowhards.

I got the book to restore peace to my health club workouts. As my friends have turned 50, many have been asking "Dr. Joel" about prostate cancer. I'd be glad to answer, but it's not exactly my end of the body, since I'm a dentist. I read the two chapters on prostate cancer, but then I went back to read the rest of the book. I don't want to be an instant expert, but I now have a quick answer to all of the questions: read The Harvard Medical School Guide to Men's Health for yourself. It's really an excellent book.

I did a lot of research on the HCG protocol before starting. This book is fantastic and puts everything you need in one spot for quick reference. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is thinking about starting the protocol. It really works!!!

Very helpful on those days you need to "read up" on what your doing wrong because the weight is not coming off as fast as you would like or get an idea about what your about to start (phase 3).

This book is such a fantastic reference book. I am in Phase 2 of the protocol and although you can find much information on the web, it is so much easier having it so well organized and contained in one place. The information provided about following the program, added with the nutritional information, graphs and resources make it easy and foolproof.

I am on my second session of HCG shots on the Simeons Protocol. I lost 30 pounds first session and need to lose 20 more. I'm sorry I didn't have this guide the first session - it is EXTREMELY helpful. In addition to explaining everything in easy-to-understand detail, this book clarifys the foods you can eat during the 3-6 weeks following the shots (Simeons was a bit vague regarding Sugars and Starches). The book is worth twice the price.

The book was shipped as requested. The information in the book is very useful. It would have been nice if the book covered the 2,000 ambules. Good Book for HCG info.

I have perused many books about magnet therapy and found this one to be the best. Unlike other books on the market covering this topic, "Healing Magnets" explains the complicated science behind magnetic healing clearly and concisely. I appreciated the comprehensive documentation and practical applications for a therapy that has worked for me but remained a mystery as to why until I read this book. I encourage anyone who is using magnets now or is wondering if they should for health reasons, to get this book and use it.

My patients often ask me questions about magnet therapy. This book answered all my questions and then some. I recommend it both to my patients and colleagues who want a clear explanation and well-documented resource.

Sherry Kahn has written a very readable, thorough and informative book on a complex subject. As a fellow medical writer who has authored a book on the perils of electromagnetic pollution and our ever-increasing ambient radiofrequency exposures, I often get questions from people who are confused about how magnets can be used therapeutically if EMFs are supposed to be dangerous. Ms. Kahn sorts through these, and many other questions well, giving the reader a comprehensive understanding. Although caution is warranted with very strong magnetic fields (such as those used in MRI diagnostics), the human anatomy has been found to be fantastically responsive to low-level steady-state magnetic fields. The problems arise in energy fields with the introduction of artificial characteristics not found in nature -- alternating current, digital pulsing, unusual wave forms, and exposure strengths unlike anything we've encountered before in our evolutionary history. We -- and all other species -- have evolved within the protective cradle of the earth's own steady-state magnetic fields. How arrogant to assume it wouldn't be an important factor in our well-being, or that abnormal inbalance wouldn't adversely impact our health. Although energy medicine is considered ancient knowledge in eastern cultures, it is only now coming to the foreground in western medine. But energetic healing modalities can be quite powerful. People should not use strong magnets willy-nilly or without guidance. That's where Ms. Kahn's book comes in. No one considering magnets should be without it. For a slim volume, it packs a lot of punch.

If you're going to buy one book on magnetic therapy, this is the one. It is very clear and makes the science easy to understand. It is also very well organized so that you can find out what is known about the use of magnets for various conditions. I found the buying and treatment guidelines particularly useful.

If you want to quickly get your arms around magnet therapy, read this book. Having first used magnets a few years back, I knew they worked - but I didn't know how or why. There was very little accessible information on the topic then, and I ended giving up on understanding why I was having such great results. This book does a fantastic job of explaining the hows and whys in language I can easily understand. So many people say there's not much evidence that magnet therapy works. Maybe not yet in the US, but this book summarizes studies from around that world that prove that it helps a far wider range of conditions than I ever imagined.

It's comprehensive, well-researched and easy to understand. Two thumbs up!
