Review of Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle (Paperback)

I bought this book along with, "Flood Your Body With Oxygen" by Ed McCabe. This is a good reference book also, a little less involved than McCabe's book but covers the points. After reading both books I decided to start an experiment of my own. As the gardening season was just beginning at that time, I was planting 2 tomato plants in large half barrels on my patio. I decided I would start supplementing the water of one plant with hydrogen peroxide (in the form of a product called "CellFood"). Everyday I put a few drops of CellFood in the water of the one plant and used plain water for the other.. The results are amazing. The plant that is supplemented with CellFood is at least 5 times larger than the non supplemented plant and is incredibly healthy looking. It has tons of tomatoes budding out all over, while the other plant only has 2 so far. My belief is if it can do this for a tomato plant just think what it could do for my own body. I started taking Hyroden Peroxide in the form of "OxyAdvantage" from Healthy World Distributing, and within a short time it was amazing to see the difference in myself. I have so much more energy now. When I ran out of the product, I reverted back to my condition before taking it which was fatigued. I literally felt like I was suffocating and craved oxygen. Yet this is how I had lived for years before discovering oxgyen supplements and thought it was normal. Folks, it's not normal! I quickly ordered more and my husband, who had also been taking it, asked me if it was coming FEDX because he couldn't stand being without it either. We are early on in our oxygen/alkalizing program and are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt this stuff is great. As we develop better deep breathing techniques and our bodies become more alkaline, I'm confident we eventually won't need the oxgyen supplementation. But folks if you are tired, fatigued and lacking get up and go, read up about Hyrdogen Peroxide and give it a try.

Product Description
Peroxides are supposed to be bad for you. Free radicals and all that. But now we hear that hydrogen peroxide is good for us. Hydrogen peroxide will put extra oxygen in your blood. There's no doubt about that. Hydrogen peroxide costs pennies. So if you can get oxygen into the blood cheaply and safely, maybe cancer (which doesn't like oxygen), emphysema, AIDS, and many other terrible diseases can be treated effectively. Intravenous hydrogen peroxide rapidly relieves allergic reactions, influenza symptoms, and acute viral infections. No one expects to live forever. But we would all like to have a George Burns finish. The prospect of finishing life in a nursing home after abandoning your tricycle in the mobile home park is not appealing. Then comes the loss of control of vital functions the ultimate humiliation. Is life supposed to be from tricycle to tricycle and diaper to diaper? You come into this world crying, but do you have to leave crying? I don't believe you do. And you won't either after you see the evidence. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Read on and decide for yourself. . When using H2O2, noted sensitivity to pollen and food allergens clinically improved. Improvement in allergic bronchitis, asthma and chronic sinusitis... significant improvement in energy and endurance. Discover how this miraculous healing agent works, and why the medical establishment wants to suppress it. No other chemical compound comes even close to hydrogen peroxide in its importance to life. Join Dr. Douglass as he reveals how this fascinating healer works to rid the body of disease.

About the Author
Dr. Douglass reveals medical truths, and deceptions, often at risk of being labeled heretical. He is consumed by a passion for living a long healthy life, and wants his readers to share that passion. Their health and well-being comes first. He is anti-dogmatic, and unwavering in his dedication to improve the quality of life of his readers. He has been called "the conscience of modern medicine," a "medical maverick," and has been voted "Doctor of the Year" by the National Health Federation. His medical experiences are far reaching-from battling malaria in Central America - to fighting deadly epidemics at his own health clinic in Africa - to flying with U.S. Navy crews as a flight surgeon - to working for 10 years in emergency medicine in the United States. This dedicated physician has repeatedly gone far beyond the call of duty in his work to spread the truth about alternative therapies. For a full year, he endured economic and physical hardship to work with physicians at the Pasteur Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, where advanced research on photoluminescence was being conducted. These learning experiences, not to mention his keen storytelling ability and wit, make Dr. Douglass' newsletters (Daily Dose and Real Health) and all of his books uniquely interesting and fun to read. He shares his no-frills, no-bull approach to health care, often amazing his readers by telling them to ignore many widely-hyped good-health practices (like staying away from red meat, avoiding coffee, and eating like a bird), and start living again by eating REAL food, taking some inexpensive supplements, and doing the pleasurable things that make life livable. Readers of Dr. Douglass´ books get all this, plus they learn how to burn fat, prevent cancer, boost libido, and so much more. And, Dr. Douglass is not afraid to challenge the latest studies that come out, and share the real story with his readers. He has led a colorful, rebellious, and crusading life! Not many physicians would dare put their professional reputations on the line as many times as this courageous healer has. A vocal opponent of "business-as-usual" medicine, Dr. Douglass has championed patients' rights and physician commitment to wellness throughout his career. Dr. Douglass comes from a distinguished family of physicians. He is the fourth generation Douglass to practice medicine, and his son is also a physician. Dr. Douglass graduated from the University of Rochester, the Miami School of Medicine, and the Naval School of Aviation and Space Medicine.

Review of Planetary Apothecary (Paperback)

Incredibly insightful take on health and wellness.This book appeals to the astrology novice (me) as well as those well versed in their astrological make up.Before reading Planetary Apothecary I hadn't considered a connection between my zodiac sign and my physical health.I wish I had this book 5 years ago because much of what Gailing details as part of my "Libran" self-care profile, I've slowly come to know through trial and error.I'm excited to try the wellness recommendations she outlines in areas I haven't explored (i.e. aromatherapy, yoga poses and relaxation techniques).While there are 12 astrological signs (and main chapters in the book) I found that reading the chapters on my moon and ascendant signs were equally helpful in creating a more personalized wellness plan. This has opened my eyes to the world of medical astrology and I'm loving it!

Product Description
From the sensitive Pisces to the impetuous Aries to the hardworking Capricorn, each astrological personality is distinct, with unique health needs of body, mind, and spirit. PLANETARY APOTHECARY offers an astrological sign-specific health and wellness program designed for each planetary constitution, with specific nutritional tips, natural remedies, spa therapies, relaxation practices, yoga asanas, flower essences, and aromatherapy recommendations to soothe and balance excesses while nurturing harmony and well-being.

Review of Viral Immunity: A 10-Step Plan to Enhance Your Immunity against Viral Disease Using Natural Medicines (Paperback)

Dr. James Williams is an extraordinary health care professional who has written a timely and comprehensive book, VIRAL IMMUNITY, on how to make your body "bulletproof" against the growing onslaught of viral infections.Dr. Williams skillfully weaves together his training in Oriental medicine from China, his 20 years of clinical work helping very sick patients, and the latest references from scientific journals to offer the reader a practical program for building the immune system to fight viral and other infections.American taxpayers support the ...annual budget at the National Institutes of Health, which includes a desperate search for magic bullet drugs against increasingly more virulent "bugs", or infections.We need to recognize that "non-specific host defenses" are built from a generally healthy lifestyle, coupled with specific techniques to support the immune system.As infections have risen back into the 3rd leading cause of death in America, VIRAL IMMUNITY gives us the answers to preventing and reversing the bewildering array of infections now found in American hospitals and clinics.With this book, the reader can use foods, vitamins, herbs, detoxification techniques and stress reduction to substantially improve the chances for recovering from any infection.It is not a short book, nor a simple process to change lifestyle habits; but it is our only hope to avoid the potential plagues of the future.

Product Description

HIV, hepatitis, influenza, the common cold, herpes, Ebola, Hantavirus, West Nile fever, dengue, TT virus-the viral world keeps posing new major challenges to human health each year. At the same time as this onslaught of emerging powerful viral infections, our antibiotic arsenals are losing ground and our immune systems are compromised. Can we handle the next viral epidemic?

Yes, says James Williams, an experienced, credentialled naturopath, acupuncturist, and expert in traditional Chinese medicine. We can shore up our immune system to handle current and any future viral infections and not be dependent on conventional vaccinations or antibiotics to insure our health.

In 10 practical steps, Dr. Williams shows how to develop unassailable viral immunity using natural approaches. If you already have a viral infection, these steps will help you reverse its effects; if you're concerned about exposure to one in the future, these steps will give you the keys to prevention. Included in these steps are the best that natural medicine offers: stress management, enzymes, nutrients, detoxification, oxygen therapy, immune modulators, hormones, natural antiviral medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines, Chinese and Western herbs, and more.

"Viral immunity is without question one of the most important health issues of this century," says Dr. Williams. "The message of this book is clear. You can improve your system in general with diet, lifestyle, and natural medicines. Here you will find natural ways of improving immune function, remedies to treat viral infections, and suggestions on how to reframe outdated concepts that could otherwise prevent you from obtaining effective treatment."

Review of Herbal Healing for Women (Paperback)

Rosemary Gladstar has a winner with HERBAL HEALING FOR WOMEN.She begins with a simple premise--women have needs different from men.Women, cannot escape the calendar, the seasons, and nature in general. Men don't experience menses, bear children, or go through menopause. Herbs that ease the pain women know first hand can only be seen as Goddess-sends if you will.

Because men and women are different, not all the herbs that work for men will work for women--and vice versa.Unfortunately, not too many "herbalists" clearly acknowledge this in their various books. In many herbal books and manuals you have to dig to find the information specific for age and sex, but Gladstar has arranged the female part in logical categories associated with the various phases of a woman's life.

For example, Black Cohash (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Linseed oil, and Isoflavins contain phytoestrogens and are used in Europe to alleviate the symtoms of menopause. Since the side effects of some of the regularly prescribed synthetic estrogens derived from mare's urine are not only acquired in despicable ways (ask PETA) but are dangerous to your health (don't belive me? read the little piece of paper that comes with your prescription) you might consider alternatives. I have and am here to say that some of the unhappy consequences I experienced from the over-the-counter drug are a thing of the past.

As part of my Master's Degree program (I am a sociologist-demographer), I studied mortality, morbidity, and biostatistics at Georgetown University and learned how to read biomedical research. I have maintained a personal interest in, and spent the last 30 years keeping up with, medical studies about women's issues.So, I am not ignorant of the strengths and shortcomings of various drugs used to deal with women's "complaints."The bad news is this--all synthetic drugs have bad side effects.Sometimes they are worse than what ails you. Synthetics simply aren't as good as the original, and as Gladstar points out, you even have to be careful where the original is involved.

For example, the current evidence for HRT with estrogens made from mare's urine is conflicted. Unfortunately, for ages and ages, males were the only medical subjects in scientific studies.So, it will take awhile to find out just how effective and/or damaging therapies like HRT are. In the interim, my daughter's midwife recommended herbs known to women through the ages and I am taking these to deal with the symptoms of menopause.

Ms. Gladstar discusses the clinical reseach associated with each of the herbs listed in her book, including those of interest to me at this phase in my life.Thank goodness, she doesn't limit herself to research conducted in the U.S. And, unlike the European herbalists, she includes herbs known and used by American Indian women.

I have a number of favorites, many I've known about since I was a child. I will never forget discovering the cure for warts from a little classmate in 4th grade.I rushed home to tell my mother because my sister suffered from warts (all over her hands).Mom had tried everything, but this procedure worked.I tried it years later on a horse that broke out with warts all over his body--they are caused by a virus--and he survived the virus and lost all his warts. My little friend was only nine years old, and had an amazing knowledge of home remedies.Of course we know these are just old wives tales.

Review of Remedies and Rituals: Folk Medicine in Norway and the New Land (Hardcover)

This book is a fascinating, well written book not only about Norwegian folk medicine but also about Norwegian culture.If you've ever wonderedwhat made your Norwegian ancestors tick, this is the book to read.This is one of the best books about Norwegians I have ever read. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Product Description
To cure a fever that begins with chills, write the following on a piece of bread and give it to the patient for eight days, one piece each day, and on the ninth day, burn the last piece: Colameris x, Colameri x, Colamer x, Colame x, Colam x, Cola x, Col x, Co x, and C x. To prevent the huldrefolk from stealing your healthy child and leaving a child with rickets in its place, make three dolls from the child's clothing to put into the cradle. The huldrefolk will take one of them instead of your child. These and many more fascinating folk-healing rituals were secretly administered by healers, "witches," and religious caregivers who tended the medical and spiritual needs of rural Norwegians for hundreds of years. In Remedies and Rituals, Kathleen Stokker culls from hundreds of original documents and first-hand accounts to detail the ingredients, customs, and histories behind natural remedies, potions, whispered spells, and the infamous "black books" used for centuries by Norway's folk healers. Stokker also illuminates the surprising personalities of those who risked imprisonment and persecution to help fellow Norwegians throughout the nineteenth century, as well as the often reluctant healers in the U.S. who continued to treat immigrants living in rural communities beyond the reach of doctors. Dodging harsh criminal laws championed by formally trained doctors, these rebel practitioners drew on ancient written and oral sources to treat everything from burns, broken bones, and whooping cough to difficult labors and emotional stress. Kathleen Stokker is a professor of Norwegian at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Recipient of Norway's prestigious St. Olav Medal in 2006, she is the author of Keeping Christmas: Yuletide Traditions in Norway and the New Land (MHS Press).

Review of Bach Flower Remedies for Cats (Paperback)

This book helped me so much, in trying to find out why my cat was pulling her fur out. We, along with our Vet, had tried everything, and nothing seemed to work. A friend recommended I try Dr. Bach`s Rescue Remedy, that is used to calm people and pets. I tried it, and then bought this book from Amazon.com. I found answers I needed, in this book, andwent to their web site to send an email, asking if they had a remedy for cats pulling out their fur. They recommendedtwo remedies, which I ordered. My cat has finally stopped pulling out her fur, and seems much more happy now! This is a very helpful book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has cats.

Review of Growing 101 Herbs that Heal: Gardening Techniques, Recipes, and Remedies (Paperback)

Although Rodale's book is still one of the beter gardening books for growing herbs, and other books have more comprehensive coverage of the uses of essential oils, Tammi Hartung's GROWING 101 HERBS THAT HEAL is interesting if you are a relative newcomer to either area and want a good overview of factors to consider.Hartung includes a brief discussion of gardening techniques, harvesting and drying methods, and culinary uses of herbs including a few recipes (check out Dr. Duke and Andrew Weil for more coverage on the latter.)

The book also includes many lovely photos, especially one of `Goldenseal' which I plan to grow in my own garden next year as CITES (Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species) lists this plant as an `at-risk' organism. Many herbalists understand the importance of responsible wildcrafting, Hartung, a 'Medical Herbalist', points a way toward growing your own remedies and relieving the stress on overharvested wild plants as well as obtaining A-1 oils or dried herbs from your own garden.

Review of Herbal Remedies: A Quick and Easy Guide to Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies (Paperback)

** A mirror image of his homeopathic book, which I also recommend**

Asa Hershoff, ND, is a naturopathic physician, chiropractor and homeopath who also uses herbal remedies. What a resume :) He also owns and runs an actual practice, which is a refreshing change for an author of natural healing. Andrea Rotelli, ND, is also a naturopath who uses flower essenses, herbalism and medical astrology. The qualified mixture here holds promise.

This book is more of a reference manual than anything else, so never buy it expecting more than that or you will be dissapointed. It is not an 'herbal', as no herbs are given in detail. It also has absolutely ZERO formulas, remedies, recipes, or combinations. Again, it's a reference - and an excellent one at that.

The first section on How to Use Herbs was fascinating as, although it was short and sweet, the authors go over the history of herbs in different parts of the world, from Global to Asian to Indian, to North American. The history of medicine is always fascinating and enough detail is given here to provide fuel for more learning in other sources. He also includes some small sections of plant constituents, much like Hoffman does in his illustrated holistic herbal.

A different thing about this book is that it's followed by the effects various herbs have, but on the systems, which is how this book is categorized. There are several interesting points brought up in the how to use herbs section, as well as history and info, and all done from an actual healers standpoint, not overly cautious and theoretical, but with enthusiasm and belief. A nice change.

The next is the heart of the book. Each body system is divided, with drawings by Asa, and then the conditions are in alphabetical order.

Frankly the organization IS a bit confusing (you'll see what I mean when you need something and it's not just alphabetical order), but it's doable. Each condition is introduced with a brief note on cause and conditions, and an overview of treatment needed (not just herbal) After this herbs are listed, with 3 - 4 lines under the herb name. On each line is a different point on why this herb should be used, pretty nifty. By each herb name are stars, one being a recommended herb but with a weak effect, and the larger number (guessing five) showing how strongly it affects.

It ends with a brief wrap up of herbs covered.

Overall this is meant to be a quick reference guide and doesn't try to claim itself as anything else. It's good for a cinch, and I always turn here for conditions, along with other herbs. FOr one thing it almost always seems to mention an herb other sources don't , or bring up a reason for usage others don't. It stands out from the crowd because of this, and because of this reason is why I also regard it so highly.

If you're in need of a good reference, here's one to get.

Product Description

Review of Bach Flower Remedies for Dogs (Paperback)

I found this book very disappointing.A large portion of the book talks about how the remedies apply to humans rather than dogs.The book is badly organized and is not laid out to be an easy to use reference book.There is no index and the table of contents is not very specific. Even the chapter detailing each of the remedies is not in alphabetical order for ease of finding a remedy.

Product Description
Dog owners can care for their canines from puppyhood to old age through a safe and natural system using the flower remedies created by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s.

Review of The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies (Paperback)

This book is the first one I've read on Ayurveda which makes immediate sence. Written in a practical straight forward way, It is obvious the author genuinely cares about his readers.
I have tried several cures listed in the book, they have provided better and faster relief than any drugs. There is one for sinus headache (pg 250) that worked in less than 10 min. And the best story of all, is one he lists for food allergies which has allowed me to eat dairy and wheat again. This book has changed my life. I have been independantly studying holistic medicine for the past 9 years, and this book is a fast leap forward in my awareness of the field of alternative treatments.
I only hope to be able to meet Dr. Lad some day and offer my gratitude.

Sincerely

Eric Lloyd
