Hitchhiker's Guide To The Body
Starting at birth, the new, innocent body becomes home to a host of microscopic invaders. These days, at that same instant, forces are brought to bear to stop or repel that horde. As Jessica Sachs explains in this comprehensive account, we are only learning the first lessons in what microbes mean in our lives. Perhaps the first thing readers should take from this book is that "antibiotics" ...

We avoided surgery!
My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with reduced hearing 7 months ago; turned out she had fluid in both ears. The ENT (ears, nose, throat specialists) put her on antibiotics. Did nothing. Then we went away for a month and upon our return, we had her checked again. Fluid had decreased in 1 ear but was still strong in the other. ENT feared it would impact her learning (the decreased hearing) and ...

Cathy Brownfield's review and recommendation
This is an excellent adventure tale. I am an avid reader and I absolutely loved reading the Knowland Retribution. Also, I am anxiously awaiting more books written by Richard Greener. I am purchasing three more copies today, which will make six copies I have purchased thus far. I keep giving my copies away because I think everyone should read this book!
Fertile Vs. Infertile: How Infections Affect Your Fertility And Your Baby's Health

The Bible of Infertility Treatment
This is a revolutionary, ground-breaking study of the importance of bacterial infections in causing infertility. I was treated by Dr. Toth after suffering miscarriages at the age of 43, and conceived my second son at 45 and my daughter at 47, both after treatments with him. I only hope more women learn of his methods.

Amazing book
I enjoyed this book so much that I decided to translate it to Spanish(Editorial Mediterraneo,360 pags.,Santiago,2001). I wish to quote from the recent book review in the World Journal of Surgery (January 2002). "Since Henry Mondor's text in the 1940s there has been no another book written with such ease and wit about emergency abdominal surgery, an attractive battlefield for so many surgical ...

Needs more on the role of population in water problems
Robert Morris' book is great for anyone who is interested in issues of drinking water supply and safety. For that reason I give it five stars. I was puzzled by a major omission. Morris mentions repeatedly that population growth is straining the water supply. Why is there no follow-up on this? In the book's conclusion, Morris makes seven proposals to guard against present and future ...

Fenton Johnson
Scribner
, 1997
Much more than an AIDS memoir
Two very dissimilar men meet in San Francisco, fall in love, and one cares for the other as he dies of AIDS in Paris in 1990. That's it, on the surface. But Fenton Johnson's exquisite memoir goes much deeper to explore the depths of a relationship that didn't stand much chance when it began. Rose, HIV+ but aware of his status, was asymptomatic when he met Fenton. Rose was the only child of ...

This book should be given at every baby shower!!
Come on parents, admit it, which one of us hasn't left our child's pediatrician's office at least once, feeling a bit miffed and irritated that the doctor denied the need for antibiotics, when you were absolutely convinced that one was warranted.... If you raised your hand, then this book is a must read and will prove to be a valued addition to your home medical library. As a registered nurse ...

This book has helped me and others
I thought this book was VERY helpful. My sister-in-law was overweight and sick from candida and when she followed the plan in this book she lost a TON of weight and she feels better than ever. I recently found out that some of my health problems are from candida. This book has been helpful to me also. I especially love the scriptures and the prayers. They have helped me through a hard thing. ...

The book has many specific practical suggestions. And readers will appreciate the effort that has gone into making them easy to understand and apply. The book also has: over 20 case histories (sometimes of patients who are difficult to treat, due to poor CD4 and viral load numbers, and intolerance or apparent resistance to many antiretrovirals); outcomes comparisons of patients treated in Dr. ...

A heart-wrenching collection of very moving AIDS memoirs
"Black America, we have a problem. HIV/AIDS is running rampant through our communities. Many of us are sick and dying and living in fear and shame, and many of us who aren't afflicted are living in denial, detachment, ignorant, and glass houses. Worse yet, too many people in our communities act as if they are immune to the problem altogether. `Not me.' `Not in my family!' And that's the ...

A very informative and well-written book describing colds, flu, sinusitis, pneumonia and other common winter ailments. Dr. Schachter tells you what's happening with the ailment, how to treat it, and best of all, how to prevent it for the future. We find this book helpful in our household as parents of young children (and we've had plenty of colds in our house) and recommend it to other ...

Educational, heart-wrenching
This is a well written, informative book. My heart went out to the Heersink family, as I have children of my own. As a nurse, I read this book from a professional view and as a mother, from an emotional view. It is very fortunate that Damion's father was in the medical profession and that he knew that transfusions were necessary to help his son recover. E-coli is normally found in the ...

Excellent advice that works
I bought the hard cover edition of this book about a year ago because I am very prone to colds and sinus infections. I read it but did not follow the advice because you seemed to need to buy so much stuff. This past spring and summer (2001), I got an endless and particularly exhausting sinus infection. I was miserable and I remembered the book and went shopping for supplements. I warn you the ...
