how to treat a stye?
I got this book and the one for our kids, my husband woke up with a stye in his eye a couple of days after receiving this book. He wanted to run to the Dr., I asked him to wait and followed the instructions the book provided, i like how it gave us many different ways to treat it. I used the homeopathic way and in a day and a half it was gone, it went from this horrible red, bloodshot eye to ... 		  
  







  
  
The Magnesium Factor12 reviews
Mildred Seelig

Avery, 2003

Frozen Shoulder Thaws with Magnesium
Ditto what George Eby and the other reviewers said. And now my experience with magnesium. When I researched to find help for rapid heartbeat and the profuse sweating and weakness that accompanied it, I found magnesium. Still skeptical (having read all the warnings of overdose this, that, etc.), but willing to try anything, I found rapid relief in less than an hour. And continued to experience ...

Better than any other
This book is definately not for just people who are beginners, it's for the pros too! Lots of very useful information on all sorts of adult topics. The writing is interesting while at the same time very informative. Since Nina is a nurse, she follows hygiene and safety very thoroughly. Not offensive, gawdy or overdone. It's definately not boring! Very to the point with LOTS of handy hints and ... 		  
  







  
  
Big Green Purse: Use Your Spending Power to Create a Cleaner, Greener World18 reviews
Diane MacEachern

Avery, 2008

Best green book I've read - and I've read a LOT!
As the book Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern is primarily aimed at women, I asked my wife to read it first. She gave me a sigh, rolled her eyes and said she would skim it, but it ended up being so interesting she read it cover to cover. Here's a direct quote (honest!): "This is one of the most informative and life changing books I've ever read. It beats those 'self-help' books hands down ... 		  
  







  
  
Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy35 reviews
Dirk Benedict

Avery, 1991

Great book for everybody!
This is an excellent book. Dirk is an excellent author. This was the quickest read of non-fiction I have had in years. It is great getting a point of view of others, especially, when they write in a down-to-earth style you can understand. Dirk seems to be that kind of guy. If you are looking for a bit-by-bit blow from Battlestar Galactica or the A-Team...forget it. He only tells us a little ...

A SHARING OF EXPERIENCE
This second book by Dirk Benedict touches on some deeply personal experiences of his life that he shares with the reader.

He and his wife had elected to have a homebirth way before they became fashoinable, and the endless parade of misfit Midwives makes for humorous reading. the ... 		  
  







  
  
Dr. Melissa Palmer's Guide To Hepatitis and Liver Disease16 reviews
Melissa Palmer

Avery, 2004

A Review on Dr. Palmer's Guide to Hepatitis & Liver Diesease
I have read several books on liver disease but none of them are as good as this one. I have read the first edition a few years ago and it was very helpful since I have Hepatitis B and cirrhosis. It helped me a lot in understanding the treatment such as liver biopsy, interferon and Lamivudine. It probably helped me in staying alive and healthy since I followed her advice on diet, exercise and ...

The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics: A Philosophy for Achieving a Radiant Mind and a Fabulous Body33 reviews
Jessica Porter

Avery, 2004

Informative, Fun, Great Recipes
I had been reading about Macrobiotics for a while online before buying this book. It was an easy read and it helped me go "whole hog". I have only been macrobiotic for a short time and have seen amazing transformations not only in myself but in my husband as well. I never thought he would have stuck with this diet since he enjoyed meat and dairy so much. I was vegan before so I knew it wouldn't ...

This book is the first one that I have personally read that actually addresses physical needs and deprevations after pregnancy.

Retirement RX9 reviews

Avery, 2008

Great Research, Pragmatic Advice
Loved the book. Not only is it a great read, I think it's important. Lot's of well-researched insight regarding what could amount to the final 20 or 30 years of your life. Also, the solutions are extremely pragmatic. For the reader nearing retirement, I think the "8 traits" described in the book will provide a "no nonsense" road map to successful retirement and eliminate guesswork. For readers ...

My doctor was wrong!
My doctor always told me that nutrition had nothing to do with headaches. Was he wrong! I modified my diet as recommended in the book - less fat, less sugar, more complex carbos, etc. Two weeks later my headaches were gone; After all these years of suffering needlessly. I just could not believe the improvement. I am free ...

Akasha Richmond

Avery, 2006

Anna P. (Los Angeles)
Years ago Akasha Richmond won my heart with The Art Of Tofu. This time she has taken me to a whole new level. Hollywood Dish is a gem. The recipes are inventive yet easy and fun to make. The Vegan Carrot Cake tastes better than the real thing, the Kombucha Squash soup, warm and soothing and the historical stories and anecdotes are so much fun. This is the perfect gift for any foodie or novice ... 		  
  







  
  
The Best-Kept Secrets of Healthy Cooking: Your Culinary Resource to Hundreds of Delicious Kitchen-Tested ...9 reviews
Sandra Woodruff

Avery, 2000

The whole office can't be wrong!
Most of my dessert recipes are Julia Child-style rich, but I recently got this book from the library to see how well I could make low-fat, whole-wheat baking work (I've been baking since I was 8 and use mostly my own recipes). Yesterday I made my usual white flour, high-fat, high-sugar banana bread for my entire office, which everyone loved. Today I made the whole wheat Brown Sugar Banana Bread ...
