Review:I have been to a number acupuncturists over the years in various communities, some were chiropractors and some were OMDs. The Pictorial Atlas is a must-own book for the serious acu-student or the dedicated client who's performing their own self-acupuncture under the guidance and tutelage of their health professional. The meridians are very well-documented. Each point has a thorough description including location, insertion technique, properties, application and peculiarities along with typicall... Read more

Review:I bought this book after reading " The Human Body." This book is helpful in understanding the function of the brain and the impact of disease on its function. I will use this in my work as a medical social worker. The book is written on a level that is easily understood and will be helpful to anyone interested in studying the brain.

Review:Why package the basic message, that gut microbes are important to our health and well-being, in out-of-date ideas about diet? The author routinely confuses issues by blaming the harms of high-sugar eating on dietary fats. He repeatedly goes after animal fats, and promotes olive oil, without considering their fatty acid compositions, which have considerable overlap. For a book published in 2016 this is unforgivable, although perhaps not surprising given that he cites Ancel Keys, whose opinions on... Read more

Review:The book came in perfect condition and included a student cd for video learning. The content itself is a bit redundant and tends to jump around. This makes learning, the exact process of CPR, like trying to follow a maze. "Dumbing down" the presentation of the processes in the book may be a smart consideration for the American Heart Association. Read more

Review:I enjoyed this book immensely, if one can "enjoy" a discourse that warns of all the infectious epidemic hazards we threaten ourselves with by altering our ecosystem. As a physician not intimately familiar with zoonotic disease, I found Quammen's accounts of those disease processes particularly interesting and well-described. No scientific training is required to understand everything he writes.

I have only two quibbles: First, I did have a bit of trouble following some of his timelines, a... Read more

Review:The Great Influenza is fascinating for most part. The beginning is a bit slow, with a history of medicine and how it was just changing into science at the beginning of the 1900s. But then it picks up speed and tells the story of the 1918 flu. The role that politics and the 1st World War played in the spread of that flu surprised me, circumstances that will probably not recur. Explanations of the specifics of influenza and the hunt for a cure or a vaccine were detailled and interesting. I fi... Read more

Review:I have been searching for years and after paying about $20,000 for tests and treatments by 2 gastroenterologists and a Dr of Neuropathy, I have finally found Dr Campbell-McBride to be a credible source. I went on the stage 1 diet and immediately my insomnia went away. I have had debilitating auto immune symptoms for about 5 years and this treatment is showing encouraging results. Read more

Review:I always wondered why someone might be interested in becoming a medical examiner. After reading Working Stiff, I can better understand why that field might be a medical endeavor that has its own set of professional satisfactions and rewards. So many of Dr. Melinek's stories were heart rending, some were quite amusing and others were emotionally exhausting. Until reading this book, I had never realized how overwhelmed physically and emotionally the entire medical community was in the aftermath ... Read more
