Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness
Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness

Review:This book had some remarkable passages, but was simply too sprawling to sustain interest over its 600+ pages -- not exactly what you want to conclude about a book about mindfulness, alas. The book pretty much preaches the same message preached in "Wherever You Go, There You Are," which is a more focused tome, and in my opinion, a better place to start for those interested in the mindfulness-based approach to living advocated by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I would give this book 3.5 stars, rounded up to fo... Read more

The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science
The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science

Review:Other prior review summaries capture the major elements of this informative book. This is the kind of story that instills concerns about the potential for future pandemics and the risks that they pose, but it encourages optomism about how science meets these threats. Read more

a Pioneering Oncologist Reveals Why the War on Cancer Is Winnable--and How We Can Get There
a Pioneering Oncologist Reveals Why the War on Cancer Is Winnable--and How We Can Get There

Review:A serious and in-depth review, from a primary contributor, about the difficult quest searching for cancer cures while the mighty federal government hinders almost everything science comes up with. Spreading the word about this book may cause the bureaucrats to loosen up a little.When, as is often the case, death is looking somebody in the face in the short future it makes little sense to prohibit well-founded experimentation, freely chosen, as an alternative to just marking off days on a calenda...

Extraordinary Journeys into the Human Brain - Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole
Extraordinary Journeys into the Human Brain - Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole

Review:XXXXX

"The extraordinary way in which the disordered human brain spins its tale of woe reveals how the organ works, how it creates the primal human experience of illness.

Over the years I have been privileged to listen to countless such narratives, to translate them not just into syndromes [like multiple sclerosis] but into rarer categorizations of a patient's plight (confused mind, difficult family, impossible case, threatening crisis, irreconcilable opinion, slow death, tale of h...

The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush
The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush

Review:Andreas Moritz and his books as well as other contributions of his are a gift to our time.
Being an intuitive myself as well as studied with university degree I highly value the method and the knowledge passed on in this book.

I chose early on in my life to take my health into my own hands.
I made the right choice - I am healthy and young today - never went to any doctor for any reason!
I undertook and still do the liver cleanse process described in this book. I highly benefit f... Read more

and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health
and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health

Review:About me: I started (intuitively) reducing carb and increasing my activity level around 4 years ago. I was overweight by at least 15kg. Initially it was very painful and I had little success. I didnt have any book and somehow couldnt do endurance sports, it was painfully hard.
I lost weight, but very slowly. Only around 1.5y ago i started reading a lot more about food, all the phytochemicals and made some changes to my diet (I already was quite informed about a lot of things). Back then sugar... Read more
