5-0 out of 5 stars Best Book on the Subject of PCOS
After suffering from PCOS for several years, following the suggestions in this book either erased or minimized my symptoms and allowed me to conceive after years of infertility and miscarriages.
5-0 out of 5 stars Need Answers?Read this book!
This book was the answer to years of questions that my pool of doctors failed to answer adequately.

5-0 out of 5 stars inspirational
I think this book is a must-read for any woman with PCOS. I've had PCOS and severe insulin resistance for seventeen years and I felt hopeless about being able to manage it, but this book shows you that small, gradual changes can make a difference. The authors have taught me that losing weight doesn't have to be the main focus, increasing insulin sensitivity is the focus and then everything else follows. They also say that if you exercise but still don't lose weight you are still increasing your insulin sensitivity and therefore reducing symptoms, which I think is a great motivator. The only thing I feel this book misses out is the importance of organic food for health, but apart from that I feel it imparts a sense of optimism and empowerment for PCOS sufferers. I thank the authors from the bottom of my heart. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Food that tastes fattening - but isn't
I was just looking over my earlier cookbook reviews. They say things like "I have lost 70 pounds..." and "Now that I have lost 80 pounds..." Well, by now I have lost over 90 pounds and I've learnt a lot about nutrition along the way. I've learnt that "good fats" and "good carbs" are best for our bodies and sustained weight loss. Many low-fat cookbooks are full of recipes featuring sugar and other processed carbs, while low-carb cookbooks often overlook all the calories in fat. Spa-type cookbooks like the Canyon Ranch and Golden Door series give you the best of both worlds - food that is calorie-conscious, healthy and delicious.
5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best cookbooks I've ever had
Everything I cook in this cookbook is delicious. I can serve the recipes for parties and no one knows it's "healthy" in a diet-like way. Very interesting sophisticated combination of ingredients create wonderful tastes that have helped my husband I keep our weight down without deprivation. I think I've made the majority of recipes, and this is from someone that doesn't cook a lot. Highly recommended!

5-0 out of 5 stars This book could change your life...
If you are like me you struggle daily making compromises between great food and healthy living. This book and a week at Canyon Ranch in AZ taught me that you don't have to make that compromise!

Editorial Review

Health-care practitioners are a polarized lot: generally speaking, either they subscribe wholeheartedly to conventional medical treatments, or they eschew them altogether. This can be a great source of frustration to parents, whose natural response to a child's illness is a desire to do everything possible to make that child well. Written by a natural-medicine practitioner, a traditionally licensed doctor, and a pediatric nurse, Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars MVP- Most Valuable Publication for Parents.....Available!!!
This book was the most important parenting book that I have ever owned.It comforted me on late nights when my child (newborn-teens)might be up coughing, itching, or vomiting, etc.It gave me recommendations that I could do to help ease symptoms that my child was experiencing.While it is in no way a substitute for individual medical advise, it is an intelligent and practical guide. I often shared it with my pediatricians who were/are highly respected in their profession(and who were grateful for the varied information).It integrates Western and holistic medicine as well as wellness suggestions.I recommend it to EVERY parent that I know and I often give it as a shower gift or baby gift.

5-0 out of 5 stars You'll wear this book out
I received this book as a baby gift and practically wore it out in the first two years of my child's life.She's 11 years old now and we still use it.Because of the variety of remedies suggested, anyone can use this book and find one that's comfortable for their family.We've been able to avoid antibiotics completely with the advice from the book.It's now my baby gift of choice.

5-0 out of 5 stars must have for home medical library
This is the companion book to Smart Medicine for Healthier Living for those with children. As the mother of 8 children I reference both often. The main difference in this book is that dosage charts are given for herbal and homeopathic medicinal options for children. It is also in alphabetical order which makes finding information quick and easy. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Informative & Biblically Based
I so appreciate all the work and research that Jordan Rubin has put into this book. There is so much beneficial information not only concerning a healthful diet, but all aspects of your well being. The most wonderful thing about it is that you know this is not just another fad diet, but a lifestyle change based on Biblical truths.
5-0 out of 5 stars I Never Knew How Decieved I Was Until...
This books has radically changed my life.After reading this book it made me realize throughout my entire life I have been taught to eat all the wrong foods.This book will take you back to the way we are supposed to take care of our bodies and not allow cancer and disease take over our bodies.

Editorial Review

Depressed, overworked, or just feelin' old are common enough complaints. But when disparate symptoms such as joint pain, weight gain, and foggy-headedness join the ranks, it's time to think thyroid. As the "throttle" for the body's energy hormones, the thyroid affects every organ and cell; when it's in trouble, any variety of ailments--physical and mental--can occur. Trouble is, physicians are more likely to treat each symptom independently, with pill upon pill, rather than search for a root cause. Bolstered by 25 years of treating patients with low thyroid condition, husband-and-wife team Richard L. Shames, M.D., and Karilee H. Shames, R.N., Ph.D., ably explain the physical and emotional profiles of those diagnosed with the disease, why the proverbial deck is stacked against them, and how each patient can forge an effective path of treatment.

2-0 out of 5 stars Too many unsubstantiated statements
I stopped reading this book when it said that low self-esteem is a possible cause of thyroid antibodies. I'm a research psychologist and am very familiar with psychosomatic research, so I feel qualified to say that this is complete hooey. There are too many sections in this book that smack of unscientific thinking and unsubstantiated comment. I bought this book hoping for practical advice, and there is some of that. But there is also a fatal overdose of hippie stuff. A better book is Mary Solomon's What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroidism.

5-0 out of 5 stars Thyroid Power is Helpful and Informative!
I found Thyroid Power to be interesting, informative and extremely helpful in assessing my low thyroid symptoms.This book offers useful tools for understanding how the thyroid impacts the functions of the body and gives suggestings for next steps for testing and treatment. I have family members with hypothyroid and never knew that this increased my own risk for developing a low thyroid.

1-0 out of 5 stars Another 12 step book
The author denies that your thyroid problem is your own fault, telling you you need to get involved with all the medical aspects and tell your doctor what you need.If your doctor doesn't listen to you then find another doctor.Monitor your TC levels through blood tests (if/when you can afford them).Then the last chapter is all about how much Thyroid therapy can help (as in 12 step programs) to discover that your stresses and life problems probably started the whole thing in the first place.Athough it is NOT YOUR fault.All the while insinuating that it, in fact, IS your fault.

I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book.
5-0 out of 5 stars Hands down, Best complete vegan nutrition book!
This answers nearly every question about vegan nutrition that you may have. Although vegans may not need as much calcium, etc.... as carnivores....the authors address all nutritional needs from the traditional RDA's.

1-0 out of 5 stars useless
I bought this book because I have Interstitial Cystitis and am supposed to cut acid foods out of my diet and still get enough vitamins. I need to better understand acid and acidifying foods, and find alkalinizing foods and recipes. What I got was useless information with no scientific evidence as far as I can tell from someone with a definite agenda.
5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative
I felt this book was very informative.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great information for a balanced diet
This book is well written, simple to understand and a quick read. It will teach you which foods are acidic and which are alkalizing so you can focus on eating more alkalizing foods. It shows what a strain processed foods, meats, coffee, and colas have on our bodies in trying to maintain its internal Ph balance. Over consumption of these items puts a strain on your body's eliminative organs and cause your body to become acidic which leads to disease. This book was excellent and gave me a major piece of the healthy dietary puzzle I was missing from the other 50+ diet books I have read. You you are concerned about your health this is a must read. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Useful Suggestions, But Not Enough Foundation
This book is a collection of 46 brief observations on mindless eating.The observations are short, one or two pages, and include suggestions on how to turn mindless eating into mindfull eating.The observations themselves are diverse so every reader will most likely find several that relate to their specific problems with eating.
5-0 out of 5 stars I saw this book in O Oprah Magazine
What a wonderful, compassionate and helpful guide!I've run across this book in several places but I finally broke down and bought it when I saw it in Oprah Magazine. I'm glad I did. It was different than the other diet books I've bought. It was insightful, easy to read and positive. It helped me to understand why I mindlessly eat and gave a lot of helpful hints for eating in a more mindful, relaxed way. If you want a sample of what is inside this book before you buy it, check out Dr. Albers' website.It was a helpful resource for me and would be for anyone with eating issues.

5-0 out of 5 stars inspirational, thoughtful, wonderful :)
as a recovering person with an eating disorder, i have begun to read so many books on eating and the mind. this is the best one yet. it's so simple yet its words very poignant and inspirational and spiritual- it has really helped me in more ways than one and it makes a great read to just skim through everyday for some guidance and support. i recommend it to anyone looking for something like this :) ...

This book is super excellent on every part. Is concise, very graphic and very easy to understand. The best is that has every theme on the same book. The only thing I don't like is the external plastic cover because it fall apart so quikly. The rest is fabulous.

4-0 out of 5 stars Touch for health- new edition
It is a very complete edition compared to the last ones which i felt were sub standard. The only thing i would have found useful were - if the colour of the tabs represented the colours of the 5 elements. its a small detail perhaps but important to a practitioner. otherwise excellently laid out.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book!!
I have had no training in 'Touch For Health' and I am finding the book really easy to grasp and to put into practice.

I was a bit disappointed, same old stuff rehashed.AND, not full of do it yourself cleaners/remedies like one would suppose.Not nearly as 'Organic' as germ o'phobe...pages and pages on microscopic blah blah....I clean my home with organic products as much as possible,75%,and feed my family organic food...was hoping for a better mix of NEWER info, as there is A LOT of it, just surf the web!

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for environmentally-minded people
Ellen Sandbeck's book, Organic Housekeeping, has joined The Joy of Cooking on my bookshelf as a reference standard. It is packed full of practical ideas, written concisely and with humor. When it comes to housecleaning, I need all three.
5-0 out of 5 stars Good, practical info and fun to boot!
Ellen Sandbeck's latest is a truly practical guide to getting things clean without killing yourself. Some of the tips are oldies, but goodies that our grandparents used, but there's plenty of new, and quite clever, suggestions as well. I also really appreciate that she encourages the reader to find their own comfort level with what they think is "clean." Instead of dropping twenty or thirty bucks on cleaning products that really do more harm than good, buy this book and leave the world a better place! ... Read more

Whether you're recovering from back surgery or looking for a decent full-body workout, Pilates has something to offer--and this practical kit from well-known guru Brooke Siler pulls a complicated system together with finesse. Emphasizing equal stretching and strengthening of the muscles (especially those throughout the torso, referred to as "the powerhouse"), Pilates mat work is conveniently portable thanks to its total lack of fancy equipment. Combining a video with Pilates is asking for poor muscular alignment and a lot of mental distraction, so while the kit's components may seem a little old-fashioned, they're both effective and appropriate. Two CDs and 70 illustrated flash cards work together to supply visual and oral cues for each exercise; a simple book and exercise journal complete the package. With a portable player, you'll have private instruction in public gyms or hotels without expensive classes or tight schedules. The first disk provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals and progresses up the ladder. Many postures are possible for everyone, regardless of fitness level, and it's also a good backup for advanced students if an accident or illness forces you to start again from scratch. The second disk takes you through the intermediate exercises, some of which may be difficult (or impossible) at first but remain inspiring--Siler's gentle authority and creative metaphors make it easy to visualize a day when we'll all be as lean, strong and flexible as she is.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Helpful for a daily routine
I love this CD. It is like actually doing a mat class in my house. The pacing is great. The exercises and their order are exactly what I get in my classical Pilates mat classes. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I want a few MORE mat classes. At this point I do the same 22 minute workout every day. I think it would be fairly easy to put a couple more on the CD with varying exercises. I am an intermediate Pilates student, and I feel that I need more workout than this CD offers. I'd like to try some more exercises at home, but I prefer to have a guide. However, having this straightforward class to do at home has been great! I am now doing Pilates every day!

5-0 out of 5 stars wonderful set!
I love pilates and have used variety of pilates equipment, dvds, books, , but was confused how to feel and move from powerhouse, also how to breath position my body correctly. I knew something was lacking from my form and the various dvds and books did not help, either they were confusing, or the workouts were tedious, joyless.After using this set, I realized that you cannot "see" the fine details of pilates, by looking at someone else doing the movement,You have to find them through tuning into your own body.Pilates is subtle, complex. and wonderful to do when you grasp the basics.This set shows me what it must be like to train with top trainer. Wow! what a gift.It is like having one of the best trainers in your room, giving you private instruction! Now I understand and feel my powerhouse and know how to breath and how to use my breath and powerhouse to do the exercises.and have much clearer understanding of correct positions, movements of exercises than I ever did from the other sources.Plus she makes it fun.What a difference!If you've never seen the pilates exercises, then it might be helpful to borrow video or dvd from library and to see the basic movements. then take it back,and use this set to learn the details, to learn how to do them correctly, with joy, from one of the best trainers out there.

5-0 out of 5 stars Objectively the best
i'm not a big reviewer but think its time to put in some effort. I have her Book and i also have the Essential Mat DVD, Alycea's Portable Pilates and also On the Ball with Lizbeth garcia.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-read
If you can only buy one book today, this should be the one. If you came here planning to buy several books, this should still be at the very top of your list. And while you're at it, consider getting a copy for someone you dearly care about as well. The Food Revolution is the one book that will tell you the truth about the food you eat, and how your food choices impact your own health, as well as world hunger, the environment, and the welfare of the other creatures that share this planet with us. In his inimitable, gentle way, John Robbins presents the facts about the impact our animal-centered Western diet has on our bodies and our world...never judging, never saying 'you must do this or that,' but simply presenting the facts YOU need to make informed choices. The beauty of this book lies in its readability. Robbins is an outstanding writer, and he blends anecdotes with hard data in a way that makes The Food Revolution highly accessible. In fact, it's difficult to put it down. That said, it's also a supremely well-documented work, as was its predecessor, the bestselling Diet For a New America. Robbins doesn't expect you to take his word for what he says...the primary sources are clearly indicated. This is a book for the scientist and the truck driver...for the secretary and the dietician. It should be required reading for all medical doctors, nutritionists, and politicians. It should be top on the list for anyone concerned with human health, world hunger, animal welfare or the environment. Whatever you know, or think you know, about the food you eat...where it comes from, how it's produced, what it does for your body (good or bad)...I strongly encourage you to read The Food Revolution. You may or may not agree with Robbins' conclusions, but I guarantee you will never regard the food on your plate the same way again. You will be challenged...you will be amazed, appalled and quite possibly inspired...but most important, you will be educated as to just how much power you hold, over your own health and over the health of the planet and its peoples, in the hand that wields your fork.
5-0 out of 5 stars Food for thought
Reading this book will make you think more than twice about what you eat. It is a must read for anyone concerned with their health, our planet, and overall wellbeing. Thankfully I already followed a pretty clean diet void of animal products. This book is full of a lot of facts (the footnotes are extensive- lots of research to back up the points) and draw a bleak portrait of the food industry in the US.
