Diseases & Physical Ailments
Review:I am very health conscious, and was most disgusted with Dr. Chauncey’s recommendation to take vitamin supplements especially Vitamin C. Linus Pauling’s recommendation to take vitamin C supplements was disproven my medical research-something Pauling never investigated. Research proved Vitamin C supplements does not prevent cancer, but it actually causes cancer. Read Pandora’s Lab. I do agree that walking is a beneficial health activity, but eat a vegetarian diet to get your vitamins and minerals. Read more
Review:This memoir was not compelling or revealing. I had expected more given the general reader and editorial reviews and the fact that Caldwell is a Pulitzer winner for criticism. Who would guess that someone who reads, analyzes, and writes about the quality of the writing of others would put together such a dull and evasive memoir? The most I can say for the writing is that it was grammatically sound.
There were surely elements of Caldwell and Knapp's lives that would have been fascinating... Read more
Review:I bought this book and have thus far been very satisfied with the content and information. It has helped me see a new side of my dad who is dealing with this disease at the young age of 55. I would recommend this book. Read more
Review:I hesitated between three and four stars, but decided to give it four. I have read everything Oliver Sacks has ever written, and _Seeing Voices_ is one of my favorite books. However, I found this book less engaging than nearly all of his previous works. I enjoyed the new case studies, but I felt somehow that I had already read the same information in his previous books. The exception to this is his first-person narrative of his own experience with his changing sight, which was a somewhat jarring... Read more
Review:This book is extremely helpful and easy to comprehend. I am personally struggling with the diet- wine and nightshades are my biggest obstacle. However, I do notice a significant difference in my arthritis pain levels and skin's appearance when I stick to the regimen. I would recommend this book for anyone struggling with psoriasis. If you have the commitment and want to really try to overcome psoriasis, then I would absolutely try this diet plan. Read more

Review:I enjoyed learning Tia's struggle with her health and how her love for food help heal her body. I'm enjoying reading this book because of the recipe as well. I have been recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis and I need to learn how to make some tasty recipes, but this book,will be more for my family and not me. I would have preferred her to give us a little more of the non meat recipes. I am a meat eater, but would like to learn how to cook some foods that are still tasty but without meat. At t... Read more
Review:Lisa Genova's new book "Left Neglected," about a multitasking superwoman and guilt-ridden mother, who was transformed in an unguarded instant into a `Left Neglect patient,' is, in my opinion, even better than "Still Alice." I know a lot about hemineglect; I did my PhD on it way back in the early 1980s when only a handful of researchers were studying it and publishing articles about it, and since then have published and written about it often, including cases in my books, and have supervised stud...
