Disappointed with content
Although the recipes in the book look delicious, so many of them have ingredients that are migraine triggers.If you are trying to restrict all suspected triggers as I am, then you don't want to make things with ANY possible triggers in them.There were some good recipes, but there were a lot that I wouldn't use because they had some items considered triggers. ...

great book, informative, really helpful
An excellent guide to identifying, understanding and getting relief for neck problems. I found it very easy to read with lots of good tips on easing the pain non-invasively.Its chatty manner makes you feel really "cared for" by these two knowledgable professionals.Highly recommended! ... Read more

Without surgery, Dr. Howell pioneered NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR), realigning the skull and building cures for many. Fascinating read. ... Read more

Essential for migraine sufferers.........
....Seymour Diamond, MD has written a comprehensive book on migraines that is designed for the layman. He explains the physiology of migraines and how they differ from ordinary headaches. He describes common symptoms that help the reader identify if and which type of migraine he/she gets, or if the migraines are co-existing with other types of headaches (which, once diagnosed, impacts treatment). Dr. Diamond delves into the specific problems that may occur in women (PMS, menopause) and how they may correlate with migraine, the link between migraine and other diseases (such as lupus, epliepsy, etc.) and how to tell the danger signs that indicate that a headache requires immediate medical attention.

"Pain shrinks time to the present moment... "
Balance. Harmony. Synchronicity. These words do not belong exclusively to the healthy, but can be a significant part of daily life, even for those in chronic pain. A Life Larger than Pain is thoughtfully presented, an acknowledgment of the complexities of chronic pain and the conundrum of a patient caught in a cycle of physical pain. Addressing the frustration and limitations of modern pain management, Hinds uses experiences with his own patients as examples of the transformative nature of healing through a combination of Eastern and Western disciplines, combining the principles of both. Soothing, helpful book
This doctor shows his compassion for those in chronic pain and offers comfort, even if not always of the physical variety. Anyone who suffers from pain on an on-going basis will appreciate this book, if only for the manner in which Dr. Hinds shows his understanding of the completeness of the turmoil it causes.

This is not just a book for people with chronic pain.It is also a handbook for those of us who are struggling.Read more

The Total Back Book
This book seems to be helpful in gaining knowledge about the back.The excercises have been helpful for my lower back problem, however, when I showed it to my docter, he was a little apprehensive about the author because her qualifications are not stated in the book.

I Am So Happy I Bought This Book!
If you suffer from back pain or just want a better posture,this book is terrific. It has helped me more than my physical therapist and personal trainer did.I highly recommend it. ... Read more

Footworks II - A Book for the Lay Person
As a patient who wants to understand more about my foot problems, I find Dr. O'Connor's book easy to understand, well organized, and covers a broad range of topics.There are excellent photos and drawings that illustrate each chapter plus a glossary that is very helpful to the lay person. I highly recommend this book as a reference tool to understanding your foot problems.

Very poor
Author is an egomaniac typical of most orthopods. He uses outdated technology and advice given for foot deformities is definetly questionable. Better to read a book by a real foot specialist- Podiatrist.

Great read for the patient or the physician
This is a fantastic, easy-to-understand book for anyone who has foot or ankle problem and wants to learn more about their condition.I have various foot ailments, including on and off again plantar fascitis and club feet.This book, given to me by my physician, has greatly forwarded my understanding of both diseases.I highly recommend this book! ...

Exercise With a Twist
I'm a weight lifter. When my massage therapist toldme about this book and told me it was about muscle strength, I thought that no one could be stronger than I was. I tried a couple of the exercises in the book andrealized I was not as strong as I thought I was. All I can say is give it atry you will be surprised how much more effective you become in the weightroom and with all exercise. I can lift more and I look better. My body isleaner and more cut. I also enjoy my workouts more because I am not soreafterwards. I particularly enjoyed the CD-ROM. It is a very effective wayto learn about this therapy and to try it for yourself. I recommend thisbook highly to anyone who wants to look and feel better.

Feeling Like a New Person!
I have had pain for the majority of my life and have sought various treatments including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, acupunture...you name it, I've tried it. Everyone of whom said they couldhelp me. No one did. My doctor recommeded this book saying it would helpme. He was right. A sceptic by heart I tried it halfheartedly. But couldn'tbelieve how much better I felt in a week. I immediately called the clinicand booked myself in for an appointment. Today, I am still doing theexercises every day, running, dancing and enjoying my life. Thanks to thepeople at Symmetry. ... Read more

Great for extreme sensory defensives only
This book is too dense and redundant.Though I applaud Sharon Heller's attempt to bring this issue to the mainstream, it seems only to apply to the most severely affected people and not to less extreme cases.Additionally, the only real suggestions for help seemed to point to seeing a specialist.I really could not find anything practical to help with my "oversensitivity".I did notice the author tends to mention "brushing your skin," yet never really tells what that is, but rather refers the reader to a specialist.One last comment, the type is very, very small and irritating to read.Bottom line:Great for extreme sensory defensives, but overly detailed and redundant for those of us moderately so.Offers no substantial or practical self-help solutions.

Comprehensive book, well worth reading.
This book seems really good - from about halfway through especially. This is where it takes on more of a practical, self-help approach, discussing treatment options and the like. I fully intend to follow some of Sharon Heller's suggestions to see if I can't overcome some of my hypersensitivities.
What's the relief?
The best feature from the information compiled in this book is that you can finally learn what cannot be changed in order to put more energy into what can be!It also is a great resource to fall back on for putting the not-so-sensory defensives at bay when they try to make you think you can (and should) be more like them. ...
