Toxemia Books

After using this doctor's website for myself and referring other pregnant Mom's to it, I went ahead and got the book. A great easy read that is essential for all women to have heatlhy pregnancies and babies! Tom Brewer was a great doctor and women's advocate!

I read this book in preparation for becoming a childbirth educator. What an eye-opener this book is. Metabolic toxemia is a terrible condition (disease) that can cost a mother her baby's life and her own. Toxemia has one very simple prevention - eat! Study after study presents the facts - a well-balanced diet is an important part of a healthy pregnancy. The book includes a lay-out of what a healthy pregnancy diet should include and gives you ideas on how to achieve your goals. A very important book for all obstetricians, or anyone who cares for pregnant women. A very important book for the woman who wants to take charge of her own health and pregnancy.

It is almost inconceivable that anyone professing to practice "Medicine" as late as 1925 "Dr. Tilden" claims to have a degree "M. D." Where he obtained this is not known but it obviously was before 1900. He completely discounts germ theory, vaccination and every other causation of diseases proven prior to 1925. An explanation can be found in the fact that this is a self published polemic. The epitomy of "snake oil" remedies which, unfortunately, are still extant today. If you don't believe it just read the recent reviews of this excreta.

hey, yah, i just recieved mine in the mail, i haven't had a chance to finish it yet... but i would just like everyone to know that it is available on the internet for FREE...

Dr. Tilden provides an elegant theory of what Antoine Bechamp, Royal Rife, Gaston Neassens, and even Florence Nightinggale proved with their observations - it is the medium. The elegance stems from its simplicity, the logic is difficult to refute. If you've questioned mainstream medical thought concerning disease (not broken bones, gunshot wounds, blunt trauma, etc) and found it lacking, take this book for a spin, but beware, there's no turning back :) Also check out Herbert Shelton, Norman Walker, Victor Irons, and Paul Bragg for support.

Not much can be said about this book except: READ IT NOW!!!!!!!!!

A brief piece of advise: Those who get the most out of this book will be those who scientifically or empirically discover just which foods, people, activities etc. (some of which are obvious!! :)) poison their blood. In other words, get a food intolerance blood test!

Choice excerpt: "Now that I have found that enervation is the source of the cause of the only disease (Toxemia) to which mankind is heir, it is easy to see that the so-called science of medicine, as practiced, is an ally extraordinary of all the causes of enervation, and becomes a builder of disease instead of curing or ameliorating man's sufferings. Every so-called cure in its very nature causes enervation. Even the drugs used to relieve pain end in making greater pain, and sometimes kill. The drugs used to kill cough in pneumonia sometimes kill the patient. Removing stone from the gallbladder does not cure the cause, and more stones form.

Rest from habits that enervate is the only way to put nature in line for curing. Sleep and rest of the body and mind are necessary to keep a sufficient supply of energy. Few people in active life rest enough."

Dr. Tilden's "Toxemia Explained" is a very good book. It is very informative, but is also very technical, which makes reading very difficult at times. However, the content is excellent and makes reading it well worth the effort.

This book has been a great help to me personally with my fibromyalgia condition. This book has helped me like no other. Anyone concerned with the ill effects of stress and how to deal with them should read this book.

It is a medical book so it may take some getting used to the lingo, if you aren't already acquainted with medical terms, but that is non existent compared to what information a soon to be mother will receive! I have seen this information work over and over again for woman from all over the world. I have seen moms who usually deliver babies early go to their due dates, I have seen moms who's blood pressure was so high their were scheduled for induction only to be told everything is OK after implementing higher protein,salting food to taste, and more vegetables to their diets. I really wish this book was more in mainstream reading for women, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Dr. Brewer's book, Metabolic Toxemia of Late Pregnancy, is a difficult book to read for the non-medical person but it provides essential information on toxemia and how to avoid this potentially deadly disease of pregnancy. It is written by a doctor for a doctor. As a clinician studying over 500 women with toxemia over a 10 year period, he presents convincing proof in the form of case studies, that he understood the disease, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.

I would recommend any pregnant woman who is at risk or showing signs of developing toxemia to suggest the book to their doctor.

the book is written in the 1920s so it uses old english. Once I got over this, the material was exactly what I was hoping for. A medical doctor explains how a toxic environment is the basis for all disease and sickness. The end gets a little preachy in terms of raising children. The book is worth the money for the first chapters. I've read it 3 times and going on a third, it is like hearing a favourite story over and over.

Dr. Tilden's "Toxemia Explained" is a very good book. It is very informative, but is also very technical, which makes reading difficult at times. It was originally written in the 1920's (which explains some of the language), but the concepts are as relevant as ever!! The content is excellent and makes reading it well worth the effort. Anyone who is genuinely interested in fighting chronic degenerative disease and improving their overall health MUST read this book!!

"Toxemia: The Basic Cause of the Disease" opened my eyes to my true health picture and what I was doing wrong. According to Dr. Tilden, chronic degenerative diseases are merely symptoms of toxic waste products, retained in the blood, causing a crisis (disease). Dr. Tilden also mentions the astonishing effects that stress can have on our health. Stress simply multiplies the effects of toxemia. John H. Tilden was a man ahead of his time.

This book has been a great help to me with my fibromyalgia condition. I want to regain and maintain my health without the use of medication. This book points the way!!

As a student midwife, I was looking for the latest information regarding preeclampsia. This CD-Rom does not have any articles on it (as far as I can see) but just directs you to various web sites (mainly US govt sites). I can access better information using the databases and on-line journals that are available through Uni.
