health Books

It will make you stronger, but it gets a bit boring. I've used this for over 40 years.

An exercise program you can do in under 13 minutes, with no equipment at all and decades of research to back it up. Luckily I found my old yellow copy I picked up for .50 somewhere. If you can find a copy (try goodwill stores - it was a very popular book in the 60s. Over 4,000,000 were sold) grab it. To republish this is a no brainer - look at the reviews - who knows why it hasn't happened

I used the original book, from around 1962 - 1964, when I was on a swim team at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and this little book helped take me and my teammates to the Junior Olympics National Championship in swimming and diving in the United States. This is how the world Olympic teams are chosen. My teammates and I were on that podium for our gold, silver and bronze medals three different times! All in the space of about 2 years or less, and I, too this day, attribute a great deal of that accomplishment to this little book that was first published in 1962.

That book, and the wonderful head coach and assistant coach who took care of us, taught us how to swim and how to achieve and how to win. They and the swim team at Lackland Air Force Base changed my entire life, right when I needed it most. I wish I could find these two men and thank them for changing and shaping my life! They are just about the only two left I haven't been able to find. If you are out there and reading this, please contact me! Catherine Todd (formerly Katie Scheffelin), ctodd1000 (at) gmail.com.

I have always remembered this program that I used to do when I was 14 years old, over forty years ago, and finally found the book again here on Amazon. Wish they would republish it! I bought a used one, but it is so old it is starting to fall apart.

In 11 minutes a day, this is absolutely the best workout program I have ever seen; no equipment needed, not much floor space required, and no additional time, in eleven minutes a day you just work up to doing "more" of the same exercises in the same amount of time.

I have no idea why this book fell out of favor; the book's not only cheap, the program itself is FREE. No memberships, no equipment, no fancy clothes: all you need is just this little list of exercises with little pictures to show you how to do it, and a healthy heart and wish to succeed. This program can be used by any age group, by everyone, anywhere, and at any time.

Now that I've had a bad back for years, and have lost most of my muscle tone, I know can start off at the lowest, easiest level and KNOW I will be able to easily and quickly work my way back up again, even after all this time. No injuries, no problems, guaranteed. I can't believe I found this back after all this time! I just wish the price wasn't so inflated for a paperback that cost just $1.00, way back when... I used it in 1962-1964!

Youth and beauty, here I come! :) smile!

Note: If you can't find or can't afford a copy of this book (and is long out of print), I just found a free download from Etcetera: http://etcetera000.blogspot.com/2008/04/5bx-plan-for-physical-fitness-for-men.html

For all those wishing they could find a new copy of the book, 2 DVD's of this programme have just launched in UK, called Total Fitness for Men / Women. Can't comment yet on actual results (New Year resolutions coming up though!), but it looks a very sensible, effective, and motivating approach that should shatter anyone's excuse (including mine) of 'I haven't got time'.

There is a real gap here for someone to re-issue the book still, not just for the exercises but to give for example updated info on eating guidelines etc. using the same sensible, uncomplicated approach as for exercising.

I've been following the 5BX exercise plan since 1986, a long time ago. It is virtually free of cost, no frills & very effective. It incorporates practically all the theories in existence regarding increasing pulse rate, balancing aerobics with isometrics, warming up first etc. etc. And who cannot spare 11 minutes a day?
(I'm 45 & have been told that I look 35!)

It's not often I get a chance to read a book for pleasure these days however I was sent a book a few months ago which I have only just picked up at the beginning of the month.

The book is entitled "Sound health, Sound wealth; The biology of hope and manifestation" by Dr. Luanne Oakes, PH.D. this was written for the personal development blog www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog

Frequency treatment CD

The book comes with a frequency treatment CD which I have pretty much played every day since I received the book. I would say the CD alone is worth the price of the book. I play it in the car, every day, on the way to meeting my clients. I have found it keeps me centered and focused on my job. I also play it when I am picking my boys up from the scouts. My eldest son has asked me to play it on the way to school as it helps him to relax, which is a huge accolade, as he is currently listening to the `Nickelback' and `Guns and Roses'CD all the time and doesn't like any of my CDs.

The book

The book resonated with me from the introduction as Luanne speaks about the power of changing your thoughts to change your life, which is of course the title of my blog. So I was grabbed straight away as I firmly believe in the power of thoughts to change your life.

The book itself is split up into eight chapters, each with a principle:

Chapter 1: The principle of resonance
Chapter 2: The principle of future memories
Chapter 3: The principle of Your Magical Diving Experiment
Chapter 4: The principle of Energetic Boundaries; The power of `No'
Chapter 5: The principle of transforming time
Chapter 6: The principle of Sound and Light, Part One; The biology of hope
Chapter 7: The principle of Sound and Light, Part Two; How to enhance your life force
Chapter 8: The principle of True wealth; Sound wealth is true wealth.

I don't want to go through all the principle above. Instead I have chosen the two that resonated with me the most and the ones which I could use in my daily life.

The principle of future memories

Luanne has introduced a new phrase `Quantum Hologram' which, as I understand it, is your own personal belief on the being, or the force which is helping you in your life. She takes great care not to bring religion into the book but it is clear that she is speaking to people form all beliefs and faiths and the Quantum Hologram is your belief in what controls the world around you including synchronicity. The Quantum Hologram sounds like something from Star Trek (The Next generation) but it is a good way to visualise the life force which helps us in life.

Your thoughts are part of that life force and ultimately you are controlling the life force which in turn helps you to create the life you want.

Luanne describes a system using `Feeling based faith' to create your future memories and is quite powerful. It is a way of connecting your feelings and mind to the Quantum Hologram to get what you most desire in life. The analogy she uses for this is `like sending an e-mail'. Luanne advises keeping a feeling based journal, describing the different feelings you have experienced throughout the day. By writing these down you are releasing the energy of them from yourself out into the open, which leaves you feeling lighter, more energetic and less burdened in order to send your own wishes out into the universe. Or

Although I didn't use a journal for the feeling based writing I tried it for a few days in my head and it does help. It's like putting a label on your feelings and then releasing them out into the open, quite powerful.

Luanne litters this chapter with stories about science and personal experiences which I found very interesting.

The principle of true wealth

I am deeply interested in prosperity and wealth and am forever clearing my thoughts and actions for the attainment of wealth and prosperity. Every day I am coming to an understanding of true wealth and what it really means and the more I understand the more I am receiving.

That's what this chapter is all about. Luanne tells a story of a homeless person by the name of Simon who taught her about true wealth through the friendship they struck up over the years.

I am slowly beginning to realise about wealth being an inner game and this book and this chapter reinforced this for me.

Luanne advises that there are certain principles to true wealth which are:

* Being in the present moment
* Being in divine flow
* Frequent experience of Compassion, Reverence, Love Peace and Joy
* The ability to forgive
* Giving without attachment
* Certainty that we are all one
* Certainty in a power greater than yourself
* Certainty that there are enough resources for all of us
* The ability to accurately assess your own and others strengths and weaknesses
* The ability to be grateful for something
* The ability to reduce the intensity for negative thoughts.

Belief is also an important part of attracting wealth into your life. If you believe you can't make money or don't deserve it you will never receive it.


Conclusion

I found the book a great read and I particularly liked the stories in the book. Although it said it is a scientific look at health and wealth there is not much science in the book that explains manifestation. I also found that Luanne was using new phrases to describe old concepts but you will recognise these straight away as trying to bring the old concepts into the minds of a newer generation.

I enjoyed the book and particularly the CD and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the `law of attraction', `Manifestation' and becoming healthy and wealthy.

This is a book for those who are searching for answers. Sound Health Sound Wealth is packed full of higher wisdom with a quantum leap into future changes we can all live with. I have bought several copies and given them to friends. Thank you to the author, Dr. Luanne Oakes.

This is a good read and more. The text sets the stage and atmosphere for understanding and give the tools to change for the better. The CD enclosed is beyond wonderful. I have used this both for humans and animals to calm and center them. I often work with TNR of feral cats, wild creatures, whether getting them ready for surgery or calming them post-op, the tones and natural sounds calm them into 'Buddha cats.' Luanne has done a fine job. I use this resource almost daily.

One of THE BEST books I've read on sound and energetic healing.... and I have a HUGE library of integrative healing books! I enjoy the CD often... especially in the evening.

This book and also the cd in the back of the book by Luanne Oakes have been a huge gift in my life.

I literally started downloading information from Source while listening to the cd . The guidance coming through to me now is Clear and Divinely Inspired. I can feel myself opening through blockages that have been in my way for years.

Thank you for sharing yourself and work with the world. We are ready and grateful to receive it.

As one vet to another, thank you Dr. Kay! You have made my life extraordinarily easier and I've no doubt that your book is bettering the lives of animals and their owners everywhere. Several of my clients have now read Speaking for Spot and I must tell you- they are leaps and bounds ahead when it comes to talking with me about their pets' (dogs and cats) health. I've noticed that they ask excellent questions, provide thorough medical histories, and their decision-making processes seem much easier for them. I would love to make Speaking for Spot mandatory reading for all of my clients. Not only is the material in this book good for them, it is good for their pets and for me as well.

... and when there's a problem medically, she's not the best about telling me what's going on - so that's where me, the parent, must take charge and try to learn of all the options available, the value of a second opinion, the choices I need to be educated on to make the best decision.

SPEAKING FOR SPOT tackles the subjects we want to avoid (cancer, euthanasia), educates us on medical advancements and therapies we never knew of, and helps the pet owner better understand the options out there and how to best communicate with your veterinarian. That last item is the key to a good working relationship between you, your vet, and your pet. DR. KAY writes warmly, with humor, and a gentle teaching method that even myself, a dog owner for over 25 years, well I'm still learning!

I have recommended this book to all friends and family members who are dog owners/lovers - it's a LONG OVERDUE approach to being a better caretaker for our pets. This Doc rocks!

Thank you Dr. Kay and Speaking for Spot! For years I've been debating whether or not to get health insurance for my dogs and cats. At last, some objective, thorough guidance on this topic! Not only did you walk me through the steps to figure out whether or not insurance was right for me and my pets (it is), you provided me with all the questions necessary to help me figure out which insurance provider to choose. Thanks to you, my pets are all now insured and I have so much more peace of mind about this previously confusing issue. Dr. Kay, you have truly helped me solve this problem and I will no longer spend time worrying about health insurance for my pets. I LOVE this book! Anyone and everyone who loves and cares for a dog or cat will want to have this book on hand.

Buy this book if you love your dog (or horse or cat or rabbit or hamster). The examples are dog specific, but the foundation of these examples apply to any animal. My dog already has 3 veterinarians, a general practitioner, a holistic vet and a nutrition response specialist. I consider the book Speaking for Spot, his 4th veterinarian.
I understand what my vet is telling me at the appointment, but when I get home and try to recall what he/she said, I do not remember. Instead, I recall what I heard him/her to say. Now with prepared questions I will feel much more like an "advocate" for my dog's health.
There are chapters in the book I hope I never need to reference, but it is wonderful knowing they are there, and that I can be better prepared if I need them.
When I finished reading Speaking for Spot, I looked to see what other books Dr. Kay had written, I was ready to order them.

What an amazing help to all who own animals. The thoughtfulness shared throughout this book is how we should help our animals when they are sick and need our help. It is hard to be brave and make the right choice for your dog - Nancy helps you with the decision.

Bryan Rosner created a wonderful resource for those suffering with Lyme Disease. This book is full of great information for using a Rife Machine for the treatment of Lyme.

I have just received my copies of; The top Ten Lyme Disease Treatments, Lyme and Rife Machines and the 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report and as an artist the first thing I noticed is that they are all attractive books with high gloss covers and attractive cover design. Ok, the giant tick on the 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report is kind of creepy and made me itch all over just looking at it but it is still an attractive cover and one can't argue it appropriateness. I especially like the navigational theme of the compass and the silhouette of the hiker looking up towards the rising (or setting) sun, on the cover of The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments. Lyme Disease and Rife Machines size and cover design had more of a textbook or workbook feel to it which also seemed appropriate to me considering it's technical subject matter.

The second thing I noticed was the long list of well known and highly respected names in the Lyme world that graced the covers, forwards and inner pages of Bryan's books. Names like James Schaller M.D., Sue Vogan the host of "In short order" radio program, Ginger Savely FNP-C (whom I have had the pleasure of briefly cyber chatting with), Tami Duncan from LIA, Susan Williams Public Health Alert contributor and VP of TXLAD, Richard Loyd, PhD an electrotherapeutic device expert. The pages of Bryan's books are filled with ground breaking discoveries from the top minds in the Lyme disease world.

The third thing I noticed was the large print, which will be a Godsend for those Neuro -Lyme sufferers whose vision has been affected and for those that have trouble reading because of other Lyme issues.

If you or someone you know has advanced Lyme disease and are looking for a supplement to your current treatment protocol or especially if you are looking for alternative treatment options then Bryan's books are well worth reading.

(You can cut and paste these website addresses in your browser's address bar or just Google "Lyme Awareness Art Project" and "Linda's Lyme Disease Journal")

This is the book that first opened my eyes to both fully understanding the disease and HOPE about what steps can be done to regain wellness. ALL BRIAN'S BOOKS & HIS ANNUAL REPORTS ARE A MUST for both patients and doctors!

If you or someone you love has Lyme Disease or any other tick bourne illness, then you absolutely owe it to yourself or to them to read this book. I believe every Doctor on the planet should read this book! There are so many illnesses which truly are Lyme related, this is an epidemic which the world needs to be made aware of.
Rosner does a superb job of detailing alternative methods of healing and gives you a light at the end of the tunnel. If not for the information reavealed to me within these pages, I would have probably died of complications due to Lyme and it's co-infections. This is written by someone who has really done significant research and knows what he is talking about. I value every word of Rosner's books and this is another one that I would never be without!

I became interested in rife machines, and the hope that they might bring an end to my 13 years of Lyme disease suffering, after reading the chapter on electro-medicine in Bryan Rosner's second book, The Top Ten Lyme Disease Treatments: Defeat Lyme Disease with the Best of Conventional and Alternative Medicine.

At that point, I knew that I needed to purchase Rosner's first book for a deeper study of rife machine therapy. Since he recovered from a devastating case of Lyme using rife machines himself, and since he is an eminently-readable author, I trusted his analysis of rife machine technology.

My family and I have not been disappointed. Rosner's Rife Machine book has been our handbook not only for understanding rife machines but also many other supportive measures (especially detoxification of Lyme poisons and by-products) which must be employed if rife is going to work.

As with his other books (The Top Ten Treatments and the 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report), Brian shines as a true journalist - objective and understandable. He does not minimize the suffering involved in recovering from Lyme (due to the Herxheimer reactions and detoxification regimens), but prepares the reader for them gently and honestly. As with his other books, he does not betray a loyalty to any specific rife manufacturer or Lyme treatment provider of any kind - although he does quickly and efficiently expose the reader to the names of the most reputable rife manufacturers, detoxification experts, etc., which streamlines the research process for very sick people such as myself.

Finally, he provides additional sources of information, many of them on the Internet such as Yahoo discussion boards about rife and other therapies, so that the reader can quickly connect with thousands of other real people with whom to share their woes and discuss viable treatment options. All of this helped me identify which rife machine to buy first in a matter of about 48 hours!

If you wish to find a real, possibly permanent solution to the Lyme infection ravaging your body, please consider the information presented in Bryan's book and also his second book, The Top Ten Treatments for Lyme Disease, which will probably help "close the circle" of complementary therapies to rife.

Please note: I am not a medical professional of any kind. Please consult your regular physician(s) and other health-care providers for information and relief if you believe yourself to have a medical problem of any kind. Also, please consult your regular physician(s) and other health-care provider(s) before attempting any treatment for any medical problem you believe yourself to have, including treatments such as rife machines and those described in Bryan Rosner's books, discussed above.

Jordan is an amazing mentor and now an amazing author. This book explains the rags to riches and how you can make it in this industry. This is awesome and good book for any networker in any business!

This is an incredible book. I have recommended to my entire group and we are using it big time as we create freedom in people's lives. If you want to see how we do it (RichBrother style), check out www.RichBrother.com

So I'm at a Board of Trade event promoting my new book when, from across a crowded room, I see a woman holding a copy of Beach Money. An hour later, I'm clutching my own copy. I devoured it a few hours later and then stuck it on my bookshelf face out, just to look at it. I coach entrepreneurs and speakers and authors to step into the spotlight, to get noticed in a noisy marketplace. The first step in this process is to figure out what you're really selling. The author, Jordan Adler, is a genius. He knows what he's selling.

In a thousand years I never would have picked up a book about network marketing much less recommend one. But this guy gets that what we're all really looking for is freedom, lifestyle, and I gotta say, he sells it well. He takes us through years of apparent failure to the rush of success, with just enough detail to make it real, but not so much it gets in the way of the message. Whether you're interested in networking marketing or not, this book will inspire you to dream.

Author,Step Into the Spotlight!- 'Cause ALL Business is Show Business!

I am currently reading Beach Money and loving it! I just realized that Jordan and I are using the same network marketing business to create our "Beach Money". If you are interested in learning more about how we are doing it check out www.reachoneatatime.com or email me at aecook85@gmail.com. Best of luck to all who are perusing the dream or beach money!

I've known Jordan Adler for almost three years now and he never disappoints. Beach Money shows once again that he not only knows how to talk the talk, but also how to walk the walk as well.

There are plenty of experts who teach and preach but never "do". Jordan simply takes action on his dreams and so should you. Buy Beach Money today and start living your dreams now!

I subscribe to Cooking Light and don't often get to read the entire magazine, let alone cook most of the recipies in them. I got this book at a clearance sale from a major retailor and it was a steal! The recipies are wonderful, the pictures are beautiful, and it has the most simple of recipes to the most complex. this cookbook is a must have!

Wonderful cookbook. Variety of recipes that are easy, tasty and do not hurt the waistline too badly. I loved the colored pictures and the information and the actual layout of the book. I will use this often!

I was skeptical about the recipes in a "light" cookbook, but I've tried a couple of the recipes so far, and they've been FABULOUS! I made the "Italian Meatloaf" recipe for dinner last night, and it was better than the full-fat version I usually make.

I have made 4-5 recipies from this book and each has turned out great. They are suprisingly easy and do not taste bland, like so many other light recipies I have enountered. Be sure to try the artichoke, lemon and goat cheese stuffed chicken and the garlic fries. The wasabi tuna and shiitake port mushroom steaks were also good. Probably one of the best cookbooks I have!

I just got this book recently and I only made one recipe. I made the Tomato-Basil Soup and it was FANTASTIC! It was easy to make, and even though I halved the recipe, I still had some left over. They only have a few steps in the recipe, and the pictures are beautiful. I looked through the whole book and I plan to make many more from it :).

It'll clear your bank account too, if you really believe this rubbish. More Co$ propaganda for cult sycophants to lap up.

I had a 21 year history of allergies that was growing yearly - I was taking asthma medications daily, and I started to gain weight because any exercise initiated an asthma attack - so I started to become dormant. Literally I was backing out of life. Then I turned to allergy medications. They may have been over the counter, and represented as harmless, but I was tired, forgetful, and lacked enthusiasm about work, and life. So I started searching for alternative medicines. I tried different therapies, but nothing got rid of the asthma. Then I found this book, and read it. It totally made sense. But now I grappled with 'How am I going to do the actual program?'

I finally decided that I was going to make it happen. I had lost too much time becoming complacent, and drugging myself to live. So I went to a centre, and did it. It was difficult; there were lots of vitamins involved, and I didn't like sauna's (although I love them now) and it took me 28 days, as I had a history of X-Rays, Dental Work, Surgeries, sunburns/radiation exposure. While I was on it, and afterwards though, the results were unbelievable.

Today, 2 years after the program, I haven't gotten sick, I have never taken a drug for allergies, asthma, or any other purpose/reason, and I feel CLEAN. And the best adjustment came naturally - I don't want to put anything into my body now that isn't good for it. I have a clean body, and I'm going to keep it that way now.

Isn't it worth taking a look at for yourself? I am glad I did, and I hope you do too.

I did the program outlined in this book myself. I found it simple to follow, although it did require the commitment to do the program to completion.

I feel SO much better now! I had used drugs when I was younger, and they did affect me in many ways. The residues of these drugs continued to bother me, making me feel foggier in general.

The program with Clear Body Clear Mind helped me to get rid of those residues - how this is done is explained in the book. As a result, I am not free of the after-effects of these drugs, and I feel freer as a person.

I did this program. Yes, it was intense -- the purification process laid out in this book took me 9 days, 5 hours a day. But it changed my life.

I spent my childhood swimming on a beach that boasted a view of a nuclear power plant - it sat on the same lake, just down the beach a bit. Living in big cities, I absorbed plenty of toxins from the air and the water. These reasons alone would have justified the time and energy it took me to handle the toxins - but I really needed to handle the effects of medical drugs I'd taken over the years, not to mention the street drugs I had "experimented" with when I was in college.

Before I did the purification process, I felt very foggy - I couldn't think as clearly as I wanted to. I was critical of everyone and everything. I had trouble reading -- I was just too foggy!

By the time I completed the program, I was a different person. It's like I had been viewing the world through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars - everything seemed so distant, and I was disconnected from it all.

Now I know that was the effects of the drugs - not only did they create this distance between myself and the world, but they also created the negativity and critical attitude I had. The strange thing is, I didn't even realize I was critical until I was on the program, and it alleviated!

I found myself feeling young again - bright, joyous, able to really take pleasure in life. I like people again!

This was an amazing process for me. It gave me back my life.

I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone who has had any medical treatments or drugs.

If you live in todays polluted enviorment, and the influence of dangerous drugs, and toxins in the air, and our food. You need this information.
I loved the program. I did it 3 times so far, and im 36 soon.
Each time i felt a total cleansing, and a return of mental function, and energy, i had lost.
I work a lot in housepainting, and get assaulted every day by toxins, and felt myself getting sluggish, and brain dead.
I also am a chess finatic, and couldnt get much improvement, even though i was studing, and playing a lot.
After doing the program at the Hubbard organization, i could think better, see better, smell better, and play chess better!
I got to new rating highs, and actualy learn what i study now.
This data could add years to your life, and get rid of toxins, that medical science cant!

This book covers the several different surgical procedures that can be used to perform a hysterectomy and answered many questions for me as to what to expect in terms of outcome and recovery. I thought it was very factual and informative and written in a non-intimidating and understandable manner. It includes a commentary section from women who have actually undergone the procedure and their thoughts on how they feel now, both good and bad. Within weeks after undergoing my own hysterectomy, a family member called to say she was scheduled for the procedure, at which time I loaned the book to her. I would recommend this book to any woman faced with the hysterectomy decision who is looking to make an informed choice.

As of this writing, only 2 people gave this book anything less than 5 stars, which just shows some people won't be satisfied with anything. Everything about this book is great - the information is current and comprehensive, the tone is funny without being insensitive, every situation is discussed. You probably won't need to read the whole book, since it covers every kind of situation. I'm looking at a hysterectomy for cancer in the near future, and I am so glad I found this book ahead of time. Dr. Streicher, if you ever read this - thank you.

It really is a complete guide. I am 26 and facing a hysterectomy and this book answered every question that I had. It helped to educate me on what's going to happen during surgery, recovery and the long term. I am a lot less afraid to have this procedure.

Very informative and thorough guide to ALL aspects of a hysterectomy - reasons for needing one, choosing the type of surgery, what will happen during surgery, recovery time-table, & post-surgical issues. Written by a gynecologist who consulted colleagues, themselves experts in sub-specialties, when she needed to. The book is crammed with information and written in a conversational tone that is sprinkled with humorous tidbits.

I am in a high risk cancer group, and had a prophylactic hysterectomy resulting in surgical menopause. Unfortunately I found this book at the library AFTER my surgery. I read the entire book anyway, because I wanted to be fully educated on what I had gone through and what was ahead of me.

I had an excellent surgeon at a teaching hospital, but this book would have been a great resource 6 weeks ago! Kudos to the author, and I hope it gets revised as new HRT treatments and studies are released.

I think this is the best book (easy to read no-nonsense, authoritative) on hysterectomy. This doctor had good, sane advice. I underlined lots of it.

After you read this, for the "sister to sister" book about what REALLY goes down once you decide to have a hysterectomy, get the Hyster Sisters book or visit their website: www.hystersisters.com

The combo platter of these two books should help you like it's helped me.

This book was a help, a guide, and comfort to/for me.

I wish I could find a doctor in person who could provide what this book did for me, truly.

Thank you, to the author.

Thank you to the amazon for providing the best deal!

I purchased this book for a friend of mine, recently. I had all ready bought it and it's companion book about 4 years ago. My friend was absolutely amazed at the "right on" words of Dr. Starlanyl on the FMS and CMP. She also was taken in by the easy to understand material. There was so much she had validated..she couldn't put the book down for a couple of days! It doesn't take the pain away..but it sure helps to know it "isn't all in your head"!!!

Great help during my support group for Fibromyalcia. I learned some of my symptoms and why. Not that there are any cures. However, some suggestions.

Thank you,

Cindy Connor

Exceptional book helps everyone who has this depliating disease. A must have I think .. glad i got it

Dr. Starlanyl was way ahead of her time when she wrote this book. I actually read this in 2006 after 4 months of extremely painful and useless chiropractic "treatments." Frustrated and in severe pain, I picked up this book and learned a few things I didn't already know. The main one being the difference between Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Trigger point therapy (TPT) is used to treat MPS and my FMS exacerbates the MPS. But now I had found a new treatment that actually allowed me to move again. Before TPT: Vacuuming would leave me in a knotted mess with severe low back pain and full-blown FMS flare. After TPT: Now when vacuuming pretty much feel only the exhaustion of FMS and a slight tension. And this has lasted a year! I am so thankful.

Definitely give this book a read and her other book. Check out my reviews for other helpful FMS books.

Update 01/08: This book is still one of the best out there. I use self-TPT still and plan on seeking a practitioner.

As a parent I am completely lost fighting my son's disorder....none of it makes any sense. This book not only talks about tools to help but even gives you examples of dialogue. On top of that, it has validated all of my feelings as a Mom and I know I'm not alone. It is still hard to understand but I'm learning through this book. Great resource for parents. (the 1st 3 chapters are a bit hard to swallow but it's all worse case scenerio - just giving you more knowledge about the disorder b/c knowledge is power)....as a parent, don't get discouraged or overwhelmed....keep reading

This book is outstanding. I found my 12 year old son crying in his room because he knew that something was happening to him that he didn't understand. Soon, thereafter, he wouldn't go outside at night, he was afraid to go to school, the checking rituals were exhausting him, the popups (explained in the book) were frightening to him......all of this developed shortly after he turned 12 years old. Once it began, it felt like each day, something new and confusing was happening to him. Because I have some understanding of OCD, I was able to recognize the symptoms, but I did not know how to specifically help him. He started seeing a counselor, we had other support, I tried to educate myself, using all available avenues, to try to help my son, and our doctor was involved, as well. Although our doctors and counselors are wonderful, ultimately, I spend the most time with my son, and I knew that I would be doing the "work" with my son to help him deal with OCD. This book taught me how to communicate this issue to my son and it worked WONDERS. Within about four months, my son had control over these issues. It did take several months of hard work, but I saw progress with each week It's been 18 months and he has no symptoms. He's functioning absolutely fine in our family and in the community (school, sports, etc.) I've read several books on this subject and this book is what 'turned the key' for us. I read it and then he and I have read sections of it together that pertained to him. He was relieved to know that he is not the only person that deals with this issue, that what he was going through actually had a name, and as soon as we were able to identify it, he and I were able to begin to talk about how to help him. This is an amazing book and I am so thankful to the other reviewers that recommended this book. Until you actually go through something like this with your child, you can not understand how exhausting OCD can be for the child and how helpless you can feel as a parent. This book explains what OCD is and how to clearly help your child with their specific symptoms.

I bought 3 OCD books from Amazon and so happy with all three of them. They are books that you have to keep going back to make sure you understand and doing what it tells you to do for the sake of your child.
OCD is not fun for children with it and they need our help to get them out of it if all possible.
Shop Amazon they have more good reading on the subject.

Excellent book for parents of a child (no matter the age) who is struggling with OCD. Gives good insight and tips for helping your child along the path to wellness.

This book was recommended by my 9 year old daughter's counselor as a guide for parents and it definitely hits the mark for me. Beginning with 'What is OCD' and moving towards the 'What to do if you suspect OCD', this book is written in a clear, detailed way. I found myself slowly reading, and sometimes re-reading sections of the book prior to moving forward. It's filled with a lot of information. Take your time and soak it in and build on your knowledge.

Eventually you will get to sections of the book that focus on treatment and what parents can do to assist their children in combating OCD. The book alone will not 'fix' OCD, but it helps guide you to recognize it and what you can do; as a parent, to help your child. The book lets you know you are not alone and there is hope for getting your child, family and life back on track and away from OCD's grasp.

I have shared this book with my daughter's grandparents and her teachers. It really has helped us all to gain knowledge as to what is OCD, and how we can not let this bully take away the joyful spirit of those who are dear to us.
