Most Recommended Health Book, Learn Why
I purchased Healing With Whole Foods about two years ago because my friend who is an acupuncturist suggested it. The book describes how to health practitioner Paul Pitchford diagnoses and treats diseases in his patients. The book is definately a definitive at home alternative health encyclopedia.

Snake Oil Science: The Truth about Complementary and Alternative Medicine14 reviews
R. Barker Bausell

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Outstanding book that should be widely read, but won't be
Why? Because Bausell's position on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is simply this: it's no more effective than a placebo. This is not something that millions of people want to hear. Regardless, he puts together a compelling case to support this contention. In fact I would call his conclusion inescapable. R. Barker Bausell is a research methodologist or biostatistician, a ...
  
  











  



  
Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion11 reviews

Foreign Languages Press, 2005

FIve Stars Seems a bit much but let me explain ...
I have been training in TCM most of my life now. The thing about a lot of these transations is that people often make assumptions based on grammer ECT ... about what these books are worth ... my Chinese is OK ... but I don't have perfect grammar and most Chinese respect that. There is a bit of Chinglish in this book, but it is definately read-able. The books from the mainland are usually the ...

Energy Tapping25 reviews
Fred P. Gallo, Harry Vincenzi

New Harbinger Publications, 2000

Energy Tapping
Most people are probably aware of the basic purpose and potential health benefits of acupuncture and acupressure. Energy tapping follows the same basic premises of these two types of therapy. The only differences are that energy tapping looks at only 17 median points on the body, mostly located in the face, hand, and upper chest areas. Moreover, instead of applying pressure or using specialized ...

It has been most helpful to me in making the most of my tapping sessions.

I passed the first time.!
  
  











  



  
Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing: The Last Self-Help Book You Will Ever Need16 reviews
Gloria Arenson

Fireside, 2001

The Best Of The Bunch
I've been using energy tapping for several years. I went through two of Gary Craig's courses, then began buying books on the subject for further (and different) information. Gloria Arenson's book is simply the best. The reviews here cover most of what I was going to say, so I'll just add a paragraph. First, the author lays eveything out in a clear, friendly, useful way. Second, she gives ...
  
  











  



  
Basic Clinical Massage Therapy: Integrating Anatomy and Treatment (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Educational ...34 reviews
James H Clay, David M Pounds

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Just Great
I have bought many books and DVD's on massage and anatomy and this is by far the best. It acomplishes what others often fail at and what all my teachers tried to instill in me, looking at a body in a 3 dimensional way. Did I mention the DVD? I was soo suprised that it actually showed everthing (well at least all the anatomy, palaptations, striping and crossfibering) thats in the book. I am very ...
