After 5 years of my brother being diagnosed with schyzophrenia and coming in and out of mental institutions, this book came into the hands of my mother, who took him (when he was 23 years old) to Dr. Philpott's Hospital, at the time in St. Petersburg, Fla. To shorten, my brother is now 41 years old, has 3 children and has proved Dr. Philpott's stating he had cured 100% of the cases of "schyzophrenia" that came to his hands. Psychiatrists related to pharmaceuticals, of course, have always denied this capacity. If anyone knows if Dr. Philpott's work is being continued please advise to help all the victims of pharmaceuticals.

I had to read this book by breast cancer survivor and journalist, Kathy Latour in small doses. If you're still in denial about your breast cancer, or a loved one's breast cancer, you might not want to read it at all---although you somehow need to move out of denial as quickly as possible. (...)One of the really scary things about this book is the youth of the women who were diagnosed for the first time. (...) Many of the women whose stories are told in "The Breast Cancer Companion" were in their twenties or early thirties when they first discovered a suspicious lump. Some of the worst stories in the book (for me) concerned women who discovered their cancer during pregnancy.

"Coping with Chemotherapy and Its Effects," and "Lymphedema and Infection" tie for the second-most-depressing chapters. You may find "Facing Death" even more dismal. (...)

Even though this book is biased toward the stories and treatments of younger women, I think those of us who are post-menopausal will still benefit from reading it. I just skipped the sections on becoming pregnant during or after treatment, and grief counseling for children.

One other caution: my oncologist says that the chapter on bone marrow transplants is already out-of-date, even though this book was published in 1993. Use "The Breast Cancer Companion" as you would use advice and sympathy from a friend who has survived her disease for ten years. (...)

I strongly recommend this book.

It helped me make some important decisions regarding the type of reconstruction (following a masectomy) that would be best. The patient interviews portion and the before and after reconstruction pictures are wonderful. Additionally, when I had lymphodema following surgery, the book told me of a new ten-chamber pump that actually did move the fluid from my arm and "cured" me. This is after months with a three-chamber pump (used an hour a day) that my doctor and physical therapist recommended. Neither one of them had heard of the ten-chamber pump.

We all need an extra copy for others!

I had to read this book by breast cancer survivor and journalist, Kathy Latour in small doses. If you're still in denial about your breast cancer, or a loved one's breast cancer, you might not want to read it at all---although you somehow need to move out of denial as quickly as possible. Here are some statistics from the National Cancer Institute web site that might help you (at least you're not alone with your disease):

"Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. It continues to be a major health care problem in the US and worldwide. The lifetime risk of a US woman developing breast cancer is 1 in 8 and the risk increases with advancing age--1 in 54 by age 50 and 1 in 23 by age 60 (National Cancer Institute, 2000). Over 75% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are age 50 or older."

Okay so I'm part of the 75% over 50 years old, but one of the really scary things about this book is the youth of the women who were diagnosed for the first time. The author was 37. My sister was 36. Many of the women whose stories are told in "The Breast Cancer Companion" were in their twenties or early thirties when they first discovered a suspicious lump. Some of the worst stories in the book (for me) concerned women who discovered their cancer during pregnancy.

"Coping with Chemotherapy and Its Effects," and "Lymphedema and Infection" tie for the second-most-depressing chapters. You may find "Facing Death" even more dismal. Not me. Not now, at least.

Even though this book is biased toward the stories and treatments of younger women, I think those of us who are post-menopausal will still benefit from reading it. I just skipped the sections on becoming pregnant during or after treatment, and grief counseling for children.

One other caution: my oncologist says that the chapter on bone marrow transplants is already out-of-date, even though this book was published in 1993. Use "The Breast Cancer Companion" as you would use advice and sympathy from a friend who has survived her disease for ten years. Go to the Internet for more up-to-date information on risk factors, treatment options, and outcomes. Some sites I found especially useful were sponsored by The American Cancer Society, Imaginis, The National Cancer Institute, and BreastDoctor (although the latter site has some gory photographs---not for the weak of stomach!). The American Cancer Society site even has a `wizard' to help you through your treatment options (you'll need a copy of your pathology report to use the wizard).

Good luck to you. If you've read this review and plan to get a copy of "The Breast Cancer Companion" (or do other research), then you're obviously beyond denial, and I think that's a very positive sign.

This is a great book for women with breast cancer who want to be strong or stay strong. It has great information on what kind of exercise we need and has specific exercises for our various surgeries. When I started chemo everyone told me that 80% of women gain weight. I was lucky to find a local fitness program for people with cancer (Living Strong Living Well) and I was able to work out during the time I took Taxol. Not only did I not gain weight but I know how to lift weights and feel so strong. This book will now help me get through Tamoxifen and work on being fit for life. Well done!

This book has saved my life! My triglycerides were at 601 and my cholesterol was at 229.

I am a 5'4" 50 year old woman and was weighing 194 lbs. at that time. My doctor immediately prescribed Lopid. I was very upset after reading on the internet the effects of these drugs.

I immediately took action. I followed all recommendations and I never cheated for 6 weeks.

I lowered my triglycerides to a normal 149 and my cholesterol to a normal 192. At that point I was weighing 170 lbs.

My doctor couldn't believe that I did this without the Lopid. Even she asked me what diet I followed!

I am now weighing 155 lbs and have dropped from a size 18 to a size 10. I will recheck my lipids again.

I am so happy and I look 10 years younger!

My Triglycerides Down From 558 to 88

Review Date: 2007-12-09
One day my doctor called me with the results of a routine blood test. "You are a walking time bomb," he said. "I am calling in a prescription for Crestor. Go get it and take one right now."

I did what he said, but I have never been one to take prescription drugs, especially those with side effects. I took only ten pills.

I was so happy to find "Bring Your Triglycerides Down Naturally."

I read the book. I began walking (fast) 60 min. every day. I changed my diet completely. I used this book as a guideline to form my new eating habits and meal plans, and change my nutritional supplements.

My routine lab results were:

Triglycerides: 558
Cholesterol: 257
HDL: unable to measure
LDL: unable to measure
Weight: 153

Three months later:

Triglycerides: 88
Cholesterol: 143
HDL: 63
LDL: 67
Weight: 137

When I started reading the book I was a bit skeptical. Now, I will follow this program for the rest of my life. I'm surprised to say that...

There are only a few, literally, books on blood triglycerides for both the lay persons and health practitioners. This one, Canadian, definitely, is the most comprehensive and up-to-date.

First of all, it is the work of someone who speaks from experience. Therefore, all of the information is very practical and easy to understand and remember.

When you read that "high triglycerides are bad for you," the author does not stop there. He does his best to let you know what can be done about it. Or more precisely, what YOU can do about it.

Indeed, this book clears lots of existing confusion on triglycerides (and the other blood fats) by telling you things your doctor is not going even mention to you.

Of course, you may find some of the more demanding dietary recommendations in this book uncomfortable, but you know that they have been made keeping your health and well-being in mind. And that counts.

It is a highly recommended reading.

I found this book after years of chronic pain and headaches. I had tried chiropractic, massage, and prescription medication, but these only took the edge off my pain. I got this book after a friend recomended the feldenkrais method, and have had wonderful improvement after a month. I saw improvement after the first two lessons. It is easy enough to understand without any help if you will take the time to do the lessons, and if you have the ability to visualize what is happening in your body as you move. I would recomend buying the DVD "The Alexander Technique" first as an introduction to the concepts in the book.

Perhaps the best book about the best mind-body method out there!

The Feldenkrais Method is possibly the most innovative educational/therapeutic method in existence. It can help both body and mind to function more efficiently.

However, having been developed by a physicist with a profound knowledge of kinetics and neurophysiology, neither the practice nor theory is particularly accessible. This book remedies the situation, simplifying the entry point without losing the essential flavour. The author, Frank Wildman, is a genius practitioner. I have personally witnessed him achieve the seemingly miraculous with a number of people suffering severe difficulties.

If, like them, you've been there and done that, yet still feel there must be something more, this could be it. The trick with this method is learning to do less, not more. It took me years to learn and I'm a practitioner!

Do give this book a try. It will at least make you question some commonly held assumptions about health and well-being. It may even change your life!

Review Date: 2005-10-02
That's 33 cents per excersise, quite a value. Actually each lesson has more than one movement, 5 to 15 movements per lesson so it's like 10 times 50 which is 500 divided by the price, pennies per exercise. This is a no nonsense guide that promises and delivers, the title says it all. The lessons take 5 to 15 minutes. The directions are easy to follow, the drawings are good. It helps to vocally record some of lessons on tape of course. The only thing I personally can compare this book to is relaxercise and I like this better. I bought it I'm happy! I got all the excersises. I don't need no weights, I don't need to stretch, I don't need to sit cross legged with some freak telling me to breathe. I don't need no big beach balls, and rubber bands. I can get there faster. My ligaments feel great, my muscles are smarter. My mind is stronger. My bones are alive. I can walk forever. I can rest in peace. My connective tissue is new. It's ok I cheated, I did try some of Anat's tapes before.

Review Date: 2008-06-06
Finally, a book that is simple enough to follow, yet with generous room for variability. Unlike most books involving movement--such as books on say pain relief, running or athletics--the lessons contained in The Busy Person's Guide to Easier Movement continue to unfold in front of you so that you, the reader, have the option of going back time after time and actually getting more each time you try the same lesson. This is because no lesson is actually the same if you heed the instructions in the beginning, which include using your imagination, being comfortable and going slowly. Done this way, the lessons guide you not only toward more flexibility, strength and comfort, but greater creativity and independence! The book may claim to be about "easier movement," but be forewarned, it is much deeper than that. You could discover possibilities in living that you had never imagined.

this is an excellent cookbook, everything i'd hoped for when i spotted it on amazon. i'm a vegan woman with low bone density so high-calcium vegan recipes are important for me. this cookbook is packed with high calcium recipes for main dishes, soups, sides, beverages, dips, and desserts. it also provides tips on adding calcium to everyday meals and solid, well-supported information on calcium and health. each recipe includes nutrition data so you can tell exactly how much calcium and other nutrients it contains.

i really wasn't expecting such a comprehensive resource on adding calcium to a vegan diet, or so many yummy recipes. to be honest, i thought this would be a slim cookbook with some tofu and kale recipes with no nutrition data. but i was wrong. this book is great.

I originally purchased this cookbook for a science fair report my daughter was doing which focused on the detrimental effects of dairy on the human body. We began making some of the recipes and were hooked! Our family rates new meals and each recipe we have tried (over a dozen thus far) has received high marks from all family members. I appreciate the fact that the tastes of the various meals varies considerably, but the recipes use many of the same produce items, which allows me to stretch my grocery budget. While the meals are tasty, they are time-consuming to prepare, but definitely well worth the effort. The recipes are easy to follow, with each page offering interesting calcium tidbits and meal enhancing ideas. I was disappointed that the dessert section recipes fairly consistently call for granulated sugar. The desserts look wonderful, but I'll have to experiment to substitute for the granulated sugar. The calcium table in the back of the book is a tremendous resource for finding high calcium foods; I've learned much! I'm planning to spend some time on line tonight, looking for more cookbooks by these authors!

I first noticed this book when one of the authors was on a cooking show. As a vegan, I was pleased to see that it offered recipes containing high levels of calcium WITHOUT dairy products. I find that many recipes in vegetarian cookbooks call for "weird" ingredients, but CalciYum offers recipes that even meat-eaters love! And the ingredients are easy to find! I made the Quiche and Peanut Butter Marbled Cheesecake recipes - and both were delicious! This book is really helpful because it also gives interesting facts about calcium, not to mention tables showing the calcium content for various vegetables, beans and soymilks. If you're a vegetarian or are lactose-intolerant, you will love this book and are sure to use it often!

I received this book as a gift and have been very impressed. This book has been a useful resource in adding more calcium to my diet with its helpful hints and calcium tables. The Carrot Broccoli Cilantro Salad is one of my favorite recipes ever. The Chunky Corn Chowder is also great.

I already loved the calcium-rich ingredients that this book relies on (dark leafy greens, tofu, almonds - to name a few) but the recipes are creative enough that they can hopefully win over those who do not.

Many of the recipes take quite a bit of time to prepare. That is the primary reason that I do not use this cookbook more often. However, if you plan ahead you can prepare some of the ingredients while others are cooking to save time.

Let me first say that I have maintained a 20 pound weight loss for over 20 years, and it has been an everyday struggle. After finally getting sick and tired of dieting and above average amounts of daily exercising I was looking for something else. After reading "The rules of normal eating" and "Am I hungry" I was finally ready to put dieting way behind me and get on with my life. With this book I finally learned to eat with intention, really feel satisfied with food, not deprive my self and stop overeating. The system will really work for you if you are ready to give up dieting and food rules. I am still amazed at how little food I need to eat to feel satisfied and energized. When I was counting "Points" many times I was eating just because I "hadn't used all my points", not because I was hungry, and I was not necesarily eating foods that I enjoyed I was just eating food that fit in to "the plan" Today I eat healthy foods that I enjoy in amounts that are satisfying and I am maintaining my weightloss. The author also has a wonderful Program on CD about mindful eating which really ties everything together check out his website at [...].

For those who are familiar with the diet literature this book does not give model recipes or nutritional guidance on the proper balance between carbs v. protein but is a more comprehensive treatment of the major factors which contribute to over eating. Burggraf provides the reader with a clear, common sense blue print for understanding what forces drove him and most of us to over eat and then presents a concise yet comprehensive approach to making fundamental changes in how we deal with food. For anyone who has tried to diet and failed this may be the book that provides the guidance they need - if they're willing to give it a serious shot.

A Weight Loss System You Can Live With

As a psychologist, I have seen scores of clients struggle with weight control. Although fad diets and strict calorie restriction may work in the short run, excess weight almost inevitably creeps back on. Worse, dieting is the first step in the development of many eating disorders. Frederick Burggraf's CAMP system is not a diet and does not leave its followers feeling deprived. Instead, the CAMP system is a new approach to food itself. Using Burggraf's techniques, one learns to appreciate and savor what he or she is eating. Food takes on a deeper, richer taste. In conventional diets, food is viewed as an enemy; in the CAMP system, it is seen as a blessing. Yet almost paradoxically, this approach allows one to lose weight by savoring and enjoying each bite rather than eating mindlessly. It is truly an approach to food that one can live with--in gratitude and appreciation. I recommend it highly.

This is a small gem of a book for those folks who've tried everything and did not keep that weight off, long term. (Everything, that is, but the CAMP Program.)

I referred one of my counseling clients to attend one of Fred Burggraf's series of four CAMP sessions after we had been working on her weight difficulties for quite a while. She had all the intellectual understanding but the principles outlined in this book helped her to begin to really practice mindfulness in eating -- plus the other parts of the program -- and she says, "that has made all the difference" -- her pounds are coming off and she knows this time, they will stay off since this is definitely not a diet program but a "quality of life for a lifetime program."

So much of this practical, easily understood book is directly related to learning to think about and experience food in a new way and to eat differently.

I also see this approach as a metaphor for a mindful and certainly spiritual approach to living each day to the fullest. Yes, it is primarily about achieving balance and harmony in the eating arena but if one follows the authors suggestions, it will lead to balance and harmony as a way of life.

Lastly, the author serves as a role model in the best sense of that term. He depicts his own struggles with his weight and the illness that was made worse by the weight. The "participatory" development of his method is truly his special gift to the world -- by transforming his own pain, mental and physical, into health and creativity, by changing his attitudes and habits, he invites others to follow in his footsteps. Bravo!

Addendum: The CAMP of the title is an acronym representing the four primary hubs of Mr. Burggraf's method. It is only an interesting synchronicity that I share the name of this book.

Finally, something that makes sense!

Finally there is a new way of looking at eating that makes sense. This book introduces a system that gives you a new way of looking at food. It's not a diet, and it doesn't involve eating only rabbit food and exercising like you're going for the marathon. Yet, it works. I was shocked after starting the program to realize that I had been rushing through virtually every meal, just shoving food in my mouth, not thinking about the taste, whether I was hungry, whether I was full, etc. The CAMP system made me slow down, and I've even started cooking again instead of hitting the nearest drive thru or grabbing whatever was around.

This book is not very long but it is full of information. The author is a medical doctor who admits that he did not always know much about celiac disease/gluten intolerance. He shares what he has learned in a clear and compelling way.

I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities. I have avoided wheat for over ten years and have read extensively about food allergies and nutritional therapies. This is the first book that explains clearly how gluten sensitivity leads to other dietary problems such as dairy intolerance. Now I wish that I had known early on that I should not consume gluten (which is in wheat and certain other grains). Perhaps my long list of food allergies would be much shorter.

Rosenvold also explains how gluten sensitivity can worsen the symptoms of a number of other conditions include MS, schizophrenia, and dementia. Recent news reports on a study of dementia proved him correct on this count.

Readers who have a relative with celiac disease should read this book because they may have the disease too. Avoiding gluten is not really terrible - just shop the perimeter of the supermarket (produce, meat, dairy), check out the rice products and the health food aisle, skip the convenience foods (sorry!), and read the labels. New label rules have made it MUCH easier to avoid gluten.

This is an excellent book for consumers, nutritionists, and even doctors - especially doctors! Celiac disease is not as rare as once thought. Rosenvold does not sensationalize the subject or make outrageous claims as many writers do on diet-related topics.

A great gift for skeptical family members and/or friends.

This is a book in which Dr. Rosenvold's many years of clinical experience are brought to bear upon a complex, difficult topic. His insights into the health benefits of a gluten-free diet suggest help for a variety of gastrointestinal difficulties, neuological complaints, and a variety of autoimmune diseases. Rosenvold's observations and discussion are a testament to his very perceptive and rational analysis of his patients' health problems.

Researchers continue to find immunological evidence to support Dr. Rosenvold's claims. This heroic work was published before most of these researchers were willing to grant more than a coincidental genetic association between celiac disease and autoimmunity.

The alcohol soluble proteins from wheat, rye, barley, and perhaps, oats appear to begin many of the associated illnesses in celiac disease. Rosenvold's suggestions of the incidence of health problems arising out of immune reactions to these proteins are very similar to those numbers revealed by very recent reports of serological screening.

If a hero is a person who is well ahead of his time, then Dr. Rosenvold is just that .......a hero of modern medicine. His book offers information, guidance, and insight into the complex problems induced by dietary gluten in those without the ability to properly metabolize these relatively modern foods.

Loved ones may come to understand the importance of compliaince with the diet, as well as considering the possibility that the diet might help with some of their health challenges.

best wishes, Ron Hoggan

Although Dr. Rosenvolt's book is written in a very practical and easy to understand way, it deals with problems that have not been taken seriouly by many medical professionals. His ability to observe and come to meaningful practical conclusions is evident in what I relay below. It has indeed saved my life as well as my daughter's and grand daughter's.

In my case, I had been feeling so week that I was contemplating asking my children to come get me and take care of me because I just had no energy to work any more. I had been waking up with an eletrical discharge from my brains every morning. It was terrifying. My muscles were weak and sore. One morning I knelt by my bed and asked God to please show me what was wrong with me if I still had a mission in this world.

It was than that books like Dr. D'Adamo's and Dr. Rosenvolt's fell in my hands. Dr. D'Adamo mentioned the problem with gluten and made me interested in knowing more about it. Then I was ready for Dr. Rosenvolt's book.

I could see my story and the story of some other members of my family in his accounts.

I immediately cut gluten out of my diet and began fo feel more energetic and the short circuits disappeared. Now, two and a half year later I'm fifty three and work 50 hours a week as a teacher.

My daughter lives in the USA and I in Brazil. Soon after I began to feel better she, pregnant of about 16 weeks, called, very up set because the doctor had said that she was going to lose the baby because her liver had stopeed funtioning and the toxins were building up fast and she may have eclampsia at any time. I mentioned to her what I had read and that to me had worked wonders, but she didn't see much sense in it. A week later she was desesperate and upon my insistence she decided to try a gluten free diet. In only three days she eliminate four pounds of toxins and her liver began to funtion again.

Although her doctor was very happy and told her to keep the diet, he never even asked her what kind of diet it was. When it was about time for her to have the baby and I was already there, I heard him say: "Young lady you are fine now but for a while there, I thought you wouldn't get here." It is thanks to God, Dr. D'Adamo and Dr. Rosenvolt that I can work again, have my daughter without sacrificing my grand daughter.

Although I have now found that I do not suffer from this condition, the book provides useful information. The author's theories about the condition and its relation to other diseases is cutting edge medicine. I recommend this book for anyone who is a celiac or suffers from a candida infection or MS.

This book is excellent. It is one of the few "layman's" books out there that actually present referenced scientific research for the public to truly understand. And the research involves an extremely important health aspect---why millions of people around the world are dying from cancer every year, and why most of them do not have to die if they take several grams of Vitamin C daily. Personally I recommend calcium ascorbate, because it's buffered, and it won't upset a person's stomach. I have taken the liberty of referencing a few sentences of Pauling and Cameron's work in the Cancer chapter of my book "The Failures of American Medicine"...

this is the book that explain not only the conection and the actions of vitamin c on cancer, but also explain the use of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the kinds of cancers that it is necessary, and in what kinds it is not.in all over the book there are many case histories that are covered and the explanations on how vitamin c is realy woking on all types of cancers, and why.the expirience of both,( the grate late two times nobel price winner:linus pauling), and the scotish-oncologist: ewan cameron,that in 10 years of therapy of thousands of patients make that book possible to be published.this is linus pauling's last book before he died in 8.19.1994 .in short and in general, it is realy a great book of a combination of a chemist, and an oncologist.i am recommended very much to every one.

Cameron and Pauling prove with clinical studies that large doses of Vitamin C taken over long periods of time are effective in controlling many cancers. Linus Pauling earned two Nobel Prizes. He deserved a third Nobel for this book.

As a medical professional I have used this book to preform vitamin c therapy on cancer patients. Even A friend of mine was diagnosed with brain tumor and experienced a complete remission after following the guidelines in this book. Funny how the doctor who saved his life was severely reprimanded for performing vitamin c infusions.

I still don't believe it and neither did the neuro surgeons.

This book explains why the A.M.A. and how the A.M.A. discredits vitamin c trials and their results by pointing out the discrepancies in testing, misleading language, and a total lack of objectivity which should always be prevalent in any scientific discussion. Really, if a therapy is safe, cheap, and provides hope, what's the big objection?

A real eye opener! Extremely informative! A must for all cancer patients!

Significant increases in life expectancy with vitamin C

Cameron and Pauling treated a large series of terminally ill cancer patients with massive doses of vitamin C. They saw significant increases in the life expectancy of these patients, including some complete remissions.

They gave a later group of terminally ill patients a broad spectrum of other vitamins and minerals with their vitamin C. These patients had even larger increases in life expectancy. Results were best with cancers of the reproductive system.

A Japanese study agrees with Cameron and Pauling but a Mayo Clinic study does not.

This book tells you what cancer is; what the pros and cons are with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy; what the other new mainstream treatments are; why cancer research is failing and what the alternative therapies are that many people are doing - often with great success: the additional diagnostic tests you might want to consider; the detox regimes; the diets, herbs, vitamins, supplements and other approaches that have helped. And it tells you about the pioneers that have been vilified despite anecdotal reports of success - and so on. This book aims to provide a complete picture of the world of cancer. And it does so without hectoring or vilifying people who hold different opinions. It recognises that we are all different and will make different choices. I should declare my own interest in this book. I am the author and I researched this book as a result of my wife dying from cancer (and from the direct effects of the treatment she submitted to). I vowed that I would not go the same way - but I needed to know what the options were. This book was written above all to inform myself. In the book I tell the stories of over a dozen people who recovered from their cancers using alternative approaches - and they used different approaches so I think it is fair to say there are dozens of cures for cancer - but you can't do them if you don't know what they are. And this book is written to be accessible. One reader wrote to me: " I devoured the entire [book] in one sitting. As I read hope grew and grew. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You gave us hope when all we could see was despair and you gave us a path when we thought all was lost. "
