Dr. Gibbons is a genius. Nowhere else have I seen such concise information on Colitis. He has written everything you need to know about the condition and how various foods impact it. He tells which foods are the villians to avoid. He advises which foods are OK. My sister who is a dietitian thinks he's brillant. Dr. Gibbons also mentions the "Colitis Conspiracy" in his summary. The doctor suffered from the condition himself and this is the reason he wrote this excellent book. Buy this book and get your illness under control!

Dr. Gibbons is a genious. Gone are the days of pills and enemas. Change your diet and avoid the foods that cause problems. This book and the information are a godsend. If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, please buy this book. It is truly a miracle.

This book was not only poetic and fascinating ... it was an education on so many levels. Must read if you are interested in shamanism, alternative healing, or the plight of the human spirit.

In this incredible book, Dr Bruce relates her experiences in bringing together the medical sciences and the healing powers of tribal shamans. She writes eloquently and passionately about the mating of these two worlds that up unitil now have been considered as very different and even opposed to each other. She has bridged that gap and has the courage to tell us how she did it and why. This is a must read for any one interested in medicine. the healing arts, anthropology, and the remote cultures of the Amazon, Africa, Andes, and Himalyas. An amazing and magical book!

Dr. Misri does an amazing job of hilighting the different aspects of PMDD and post-partem depression. I especially loved the section on Garlok. This book is a must read for any person who wishes to be more informed on an important issue in our society today.

Dr. Misri does a great job of explaining depression as it relates to pregnancy and the postpatum period. She includes stories of women that she has counseled over the years. These stories help the reader to better understand the various forms that depression can take. I highly recommend this book to anyone who thinks they or someone they know may be suffering from depression related to a pregnancy, including miscarriages and still births.

great book for sleep medicine clinicians. One of the top book along with the Kryger. They both are a must for today practice of sleep medicine.

By far, the best sleep medicine book in years.

Dr. Postley's book is easy and gentle reading about a subject that, I feel, our society does not speak about freely. By using his own experience, he shows that we all have the capacity to get through these difficult times in our own way. I think he gives excellent advice about how each patient, family and friends should deal with the medical profession; he gives good suggestions for questions that should be asked. As a medical student, it was enlightening to read about what it is like "on the other side." I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know that others are going through similar experiences and how they dealt with their grief and difficult situations surrounding this.

This is a truly profound book about a doctor's perspectives on illness and death, largely revolving around his own mother's illness, but drawing lessons from it that are important for all of us. I would recommend this to anyone who has been touched by serious medical illness, and to anyone who needs their faith in the medical profession renewed

This concise medical dictionary is not concise at all: it gives all the information one needs, accompanied by very clear and informative drawings and pictures and it even gives the reader the correct pronunciation of the word. The alphabet tags on the side of the book (they give the first two letters of the words on that page rather than only the first letter) are a major help for a quick reference.

I am "only" a biomedical scientist and not an M.D., but this book is very important in my daily work to understand all those sometimes hopelessly complicated medical terms that I encounter in articles and correspondence. I can imagine that this book can also be very useful for M.D.s en medical students to look up the terms they do not encounter every day.

It's all you'll every need. Trust me.

I agree completely with the previous reviewer's comments. Even if you do not plan to follow this doctors plan 100%, following some of his recommendations will help.

Buy the book and live longer.

This book is some of the best money I have ever spent!

Six of my close family members have or had heart disease, of which three had diabetes, and two had cancer.

The information provided by Dr. Fleming provides a primary line of defense against these scourges of humankind, as well as several others, while providing guidelines that help improve health in general.

Even if you decide not to stick to his diet plan (I do), the general information is still extremely useful.

The title just doesn't do justice to the quality, depth, and breadth of information contained within. Most of the book deals with actual case studies and detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of disease as well as how you can influence them, presented in a straightforward fashion that makes for good reading.

I've skimmed through other mainstream books on heart disease, and most of them seem like self-help fluff compared to this book.

Only a few pages are given directly to the diet plan, as well as some recipies - concise and to the point. As for the diet itself - take it or leave it, but at least you will have the information you need to know to make informed decisions for yourself. Personally, I find the dishes surprisingly satisfying and filling, and add some extra spices of my own.

If you care about your health, read this book.

An excellent examination of a poorly understood disorder. Few of us are able to distinguish between compulsive behavior and criminal acts. However, Dr.s Grant and Kim clearly show that people who suffer from compulsive urges are struggling with behavior they cannot control. This book is a comprehensive review of every aspect of the compulsive behaviors associated with uncontrollable urges to gamble, shop, steal, and have sex. Both those suffering from uncontrollable urges and their family and friends will benefit from the authors explanations of how to identify a compulsive disorder, possible causes and treatments, and resources for finding help. This was the first book I've found that focuses on the patient's own stories. Throughout the book I was struck by the authors' deep compassion for their patients and join their call to all doctors to familiarize themselves with the characteristics and current treatments for compulsive disorders. Just as many people have benefitted from the treatments described in this book, I am hopeful that a friend of mine will also regain health and happiness by reading this book. It may even save her life. This study also has important implications for the examination of other compulsive disorders and how we may be able to help many others take back control of their lives.

I have been searching for help my entire life. Having had lifelong problems with impulse control I have problems with relationships and even trouble with authorities occaisionally. No one would take me seriously labling me as weak or of low moral character. Having heard Dr Grant on television and radio speaking wih such empathy for Winona Ryder I new he could help me. I bought his book the instant it came out. I was imediately able to apply his techniques to my own life. I really feel I have taken control of my life for the first time. The book is so well written, full of keen insight and examples drawn from Dr Grant's clinical practice. It is about time someone took my problems seriously.

Written by William T. Close (an American doctor who once served as the personal physician to the President of Congo), Subversion Of Trust is an inhernetly interesting novel about a rural doctor who dares to challenge the corporate greed and steamrolled values of an aggressively for-profit HMO. A human drama of corporate machinery and the human lives it chews up and spits out, as well as heroism, daring, and the will to take a stand, Subversion Of Trust is first-rate reading with very real and disturbing implications for the immediate health-care future of America.

WHO HASN'T BEEN A PATIENT? WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE TREATED WITH UNCONDITIONAL CARE AND COMPASSION? Dr. Close's book allows you to look inside a small town doctor's life and experience what a true medical practice is and can be.

In this book we get to look at doctors who truly serve and care for their friends. Doctors making a difference in their lives, not only when they have the small aches and pains but when life is on the line or life is coming to an end.

In "Subversion of Trust" we get to see how doctors can make a difference with true compassion and caring for their fellow man. Doctors wanting to do what they have been trained to do, love to do, but sometimes are unable to do because of the "system".

The story is exciting, enjoyable and moves you into a heartfelt connection for Jenny, Old Doc and the other characters as they struggle to find themselves and maintain what they have in the small towns of Montana.

I'm sure you will be moved, as I was, by what can and does take place in remote medical areas by true doctors and nurses that practice what they preach.
