Absolute Must Read.......2007-03-28

This book is incredible and I have given a copy to my son's principal. We had already incorporated a lot of her suggestions based on appointments with our Environmental Physician. Her book was instrumental in helping me replace cleaners in my son's classroom. Also, her other book, Our Toxic World is worth reading as well. We have seen some wonderful changes for the entire family by changing cleaners, eliminating pesticides, and identifying triggers for us. This should be required reading material for school administrators.

Excellent work!.......2006-03-11

Dr. Rapp hits another home run with this work. If you have school age children who have experienced behavioral problems at school, then you want to read this book.

This book also gives the reader suggestions on things that can be changed at home, with diet and nutrition to improve your child's well being.

Don't be surprised if school officials try to discredit this work. After all, "traditional thinking", while outdated, has prevailed for years. We gave a copy of the book to the school principle, who promised to read it. The other "experts" simply pushed the book away and changed the topic.

We have shared this information with others, and have a "loaner copy" that we are sharing with other parents in our school system.

Help.......2000-11-16

Actually I am trying to find where I could contact Dr. Rapp. We have been living in a house with stachybotrys for two years and my son has developed ADD with mood swings. If anyone can help me please e-mail me.

Thanks

Awesome review for parents and educators.......2000-04-28

This is a great book that details how environmental hazards along with food allergies affect children. It analyzes schools and homes to inform people of the chemicals, paint, carpeting, spices, etc. cause symptoms of Learning Disabilities or behavior problems. The chapters in this book are broken down specifically to help you target your concerns. I loved the pictoral and writing samples given in this book. As a special educator, I found this book extremely helpful in my school building and with my own family. I recommend this to anyone with concerns about their children or students.

Book Description

Deepak Chopra, M.D., has emerged as one of the most powerful leaders in the revolutionary field of mind/body medicine. His extraordinary bestseller Quantum Healing explored the mind's connection to seemingly miraculous cures for cancer and other serious illnesses. Now, in Unconditional Life, he undertakes an even greater challenge: to explain how consciousness can lead the way to total freedom and perfect health. Unconditional Life brings together disciplines ranging from modern physics and neuroscience to the ancient traditions of Indian wisdom to show how our perceptions create our reality for good or ill--and how the outside world can be shaped by altering the world within. In a book filled with hope and inspiration, Dr. Chopra offers compelling proof of the power of consciousness and a daring new vision of our own unlimited potential.

Comfort food classics like rice pudding and cinnamon toast
Nutritious fluids and soups to soothe the symptoms of a common cold
Easily digestible foods that can relieve an upset stomach
Imaginative, no-sugar-added snacks for healthier teeth
Iron-rich dishes, and foods that aid iron absorption
High-fiber muffins, breads, dips, and desserts for regularity
Fun foods with the right amount of cholesterol for growing bodies
Just the right home remedies for fevers and flus
Calming recipes for a good night's sleep

Eileen Behan explains the connection between food and common childhood illnesses from asthma to ear infections to headaches to vomiting -- and gives you recipes for simple, delicious, kid-pleasing dishes that will actually help your child feel better faster.

Customer Reviews:

A Disappointment.......2007-07-20

This book was a great disappointment. Given the title, I expected large numbers of recipes that were highly nutritious. Instead, I found relatively few recipes, many of which are heavily sugar-laden. (Since sugar depresses the immune system, feeding it to a child when he's ill seems even more foolish than usual.) There is *some* good information in some of the illness-specific sections. These, however, are each followed by approximately two recipes, very few of which are what I would consider nutritious. For example, of the two recipes provided for sore throats, one contains ice cream; the other contains candy. Now, ice cream might very well be *soothing* for a sore throat but, first of all, we all already know that and, second of all, it isn't going to help "heal" a sore throat. The end of the book contains recipes for comfort foods. Some of these are less unhealthy than the illness-related foods, but nearly all are recipes one can just as easily find elsewhere. (One example is macaroni and cheese.) I am certainly glad I did not pay $19 to purchase this new!

good food for sick kids.......2001-01-24

This is a great resource for parents and health care providers. Anybody who wants to know what to serve when a child has a stomachache, sore throat or even colic will find this very useful

The Germs War Within.......2005-04-16

My attention to this book is from the author who also wrote"Grow Young With HGH", another goood book.

Infection Protection gives you inside things that you couldnot see easily.
This book should be in any one's library , generation by generation., sort of family medicine self-help.

Once get contacted with those melicious germs, you somehow
get prescriped by M.D., which ends up with many side-effects.

Preventive medicine is the best bet.
People donot give attention much about this, until it's too LATE.

These following books are also great.
"What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine MAY BE KILLING YOU" by Ray M.D.

"omega3 connection" by Andrew Stoll, M.D. and "the super Anti-Oxidants by James F. Balch, M.D.

There are few mistakes in "Infection Protection" such as,
on page 118 Omega 3 should be in flaxseed, and omega 6 should be in evening primrose.
Hoping that new edition will correct this.

A Tasty Addition to Modern Medicine.......2006-02-10

Out of all of the books I have seen in the "home remedy" category, this is one of the few that actually gives you recipes and examples of how to use the various foods and herbs to help treat different ailments. I originally ran across this book in a bargain bin at a discount store when shopping with my mother. She wound up with it and I with another book. After reading through it one day I found it was well worth the $4 she spent and decide I had to have a copy. Amazon Ho!! The layout is easy to read and wonderful to quickly find a tasty home remedy for a wide variety of aliments. Good Job Anne Egan!

The only cookbook you may ever need!.......2002-12-20

This is such a fabulous cookbook that it is one of the few I have left in my kitchen. I am a women's health care nurse practitioner and am very interested in the way nutrition and diet affects health. This book is right-on by recommending a varied diet, rich in whole grains, vegetables, fish, etc. It doesn't limit any type of food and includes meat dishes and desserts. My favorite is the soup section, full of easy-to-make and delicious comfort foods (the pasta e fagiole soup is excellent). I am a fan of Dr. Andrew Weil's books and this cookbook is an excellent accompaniment to his diet and lifestyle advice (better than the cookbook he co-authored this year). The authors also include up-to-date information on the importance of eating omega-3 fatty acids, which many books leave out even though it is so important (for more on this read the excellent "The Omega Diet" by Dr. Artemis Simopoulos). This book does not advise skimping on fat either...it just emphasizes eating healthy fats. This book deserves a spot in everyone's kitchen!

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP?

The symptoms vary from stomach pains to blinding headaches, from chronic backaches to severe colds;
The causes are varied;from a spouse who is withdrawing sexually, to a parent who is overly critical, to a lover who "isn't ready" to commit, to a boss who is abusive

There are periods of stress in every relationship, but psychological studies reveal that some relationships can reach poisonous levels of toxic emotions;and that our response to these stresses can be harmful to our emotional and physical health.

Are you involved in such a relationship? If so, what can you do about it? Lethal Lovers and Poisonous People shows you!

Customer Reviews:

Another must-read from Harriet Braiker.......2007-08-24

Should we "forgive and forget"? Better yet, should we move our bodies away from the poisonous, dreadful relationships that can only drain us? I think this book deserves a really hard look, because it raises the question of what being nice is all about. It really spells out that the "nice" person is just running from confrontation all their lives, but unfortunately, they run smack dab into trouble again and again. That's one side of the coin. We also need to understand where all these abusive or traumatic relationships are coming from, and its refreshing to have Harriet Braiker nail the personality disorders to the wall and basically tell people to "beware". We need someone to point out our boogeymen, and Harriet is up to the job, with lots of case studies and modeling the concept of becoming a "hardened target".
