Cancer-Free: Your Guide to Gentle, Non-toxic Healing

Cancer-Free: Your Guide to Gentle, Non-toxic HealingI found this book while searching online for information to help a friend diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer (metastasized) two years ago. Thankfully, she took the information in the earlier version of this book and RAN with it! One year later, she was cancer free without the need for surgery, chemo, or radiation. She believes the diet changes and supplement regimen helped save her life. I have implemented many of the recommendations in my own routine to help prevent cancer and other illness. Cannot recommend this book highly enough! The only frustration is knowing so many others who are diagnosed with cancer or have pre-cancer symptoms who are not willing to make the necessary changes to their diets and lifestyle even when presented with this information. I encourage you to take responsibility for your health and this book will get you started in the best possible direction!

This book, Cancer-Free, is an EXCELLENT source of information for anyone looking into alternative treatments for cancer. It is thorough, well organized, and accurate. It is an absolute must have for everyone's library! It will appeal to a wide range of readers, from a layperson with no medical knowledge to experienced medical doctors. It is exceptionally well written and is also comprehensive. All of the information needed for multiple alternative cancer treatments is included . . . and much more.

And you won't be confused by a bunch of medical "gobbley-gook." Bill Henderson's style of writing is very understandable and his knowledge of alternative cancer treatments is truly amazing. As a matter of fact, I utilized much of Bill Henderson's research when writing my own book on cancer. But Bill is not only one of the most knowledgeable cancer researchers he is also a compassionate man who genuinely cares about cancer patients. His goal is to help others cure their cancer, and he has dedicated his life to this mission. Such a combination of knowledge with compassion makes this author a "cut above" the rest.

My recommendation: BUY THIS BOOK . . . you won't regret it.

I read the first edition of Cancer-Free last year, and I wish I had been exposed to the book a year and a half earlier before my mother was consumed by cancer and medicine side-effects. People everywhere ought to open their eyes to what all this cancer business is about. I did, in good part because of this book. People shouldn't wait to get cancer or have someone in their family suffer from it in order to get informed on the efficient, painless treatments and prevention of the disease.

I recommend you do yourself a potentially life-saving favor and read this book, absorb it, and tell those you care for of this information. If you're healthy, learn to keep your health and refrain from becoming part of the 'War On Cancer' statistics. I plan on getting the second edition soon for a great re-read and learning of updated information.

This is an incredible book. I bought six copies (in addition to my own) to give as gifts. My book has lots of yellow highlights and writing in the margins. I was told three and one half months ago that I was beyond hope. I am still here and on -0medication and I am doing really, really well. In fact, I went off my pain meds in nine days. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It will tell you how to help your body to heal itself. The body was indeed designed to heal itself. And if you do not have this wonderful dis-ease, it will tell you how to prevent ever getting it. The doctor was scornful. (No one likes their living threatened.) So I found another doctor. The world is a better place because Bill Henderson was here.

In July of 2005 biopsies confirmed that I had two malignant breast tumors. I was determined to not go the traditional way with radiation and chemo, so I started an intense search of books and websites. When I finally found Bill Henderson and his book "Cancer Free", I knew I had found the right protocol for me. A lumpectomy (which he did not recommend) found only one tumor and it had become very tiny. I have followed Bill's directions ever since and today I feel like a new person. At 81 I live alone, do all my own house work and gardening, and tell everyone that Bill Henderson is my hero. I either buy the book for my friends, or urge them to get their own. I'm looking forward to reading his new book. I know it will be a blessing also.

The Fearless Caregiver: How to Get the Best Care for Your Loved One and Still Have a Life of Your Ow

The Fearless Caregiver: How to Get the Best Care for Your Loved One and Still Have a Life of Your OwnIt is about time that someone tackled the issues that caregivers face. It can often be a lonely and confusing time. I was a caregiver for my mother a few years ago and looked everywhere for a book like this. I needed something to walk me through all of the things I didn't understand. This a well-crafted, easy to read and understand book that all caregivers should read. I wish it had been available five years ago! I recommend it highly.

Families are often thrust into caregiving because of a crisis, without any experience with how to manage the overwhelming stress, responsibilities, legalities, and medical aspects. Gary has done an excellent job sorting it all out with 'The Fearless Caregiver', guiding us through the maze. Easy to read, motivating, empowering, and highly recommended! Gary is so knowledgeable, he was my choice as one of my very first guests on my radio show.

I recently purchased this book by Gary Barg. It is a terrific source for all caregivers and has every aspect that needs to be addressed in it. It takes you through every part of caregiving, from how to take care of yourself to attending to legal matters promptly. There is a list of ideas to help make your patient safe in his/her surroundings. This is valuable tool for every caregiver. It is superbly written and easy to read. It has been placed in our Parkinson's Library for our members to read.

This book compiles a variety of articles and poems, helpful practical hints and thoughtful commentary on the difficult task of caring for a loved one. As the owner of an internet list for caregivers of Parkinsonians, I have recommended it to others, and have received feedback from them, which indicates they found it "worth every cent" of the cost. The format is very readable, with short pieces suited to the busy lives of caregivers.

The Healthy Home: Simple Truths to Protect Your Family from Hidden Household Dangers

The Healthy Home: Simple Truths to Protect Your Family from Hidden Household DangersThis is an easy to read book that provides excellent advice on a key aspect of preventing illness and premature death. I'm qualified to say that, because despite having an immune deficiency I have not been sick since 1971. Dr. Wentz, Dave Wentz, and Donna K. Wallace are right on target, throughout this book.

This book shows you how to reduce the toxicity of your home to tolerable levels, greatly reducing a long list of risk factors for debilitating and costly illnesses. It touches, also on that tripod of diet, rest, and exercise. The advice it offers is excellent for several reasons:

1. It's accurate. Anyone reading my reviews knows I am brutal toward authors who present fiction as fact, and I often state such dereliction of editorial integrity is the norm. I found no factual errors in this book.

2. It's understandable. Rather than try to impress us with jargon, the authors made their points in plain English.

3. It's interesting. The book presents the information in the context of Ms. Wallace's witnessing Dr. Wentz's inspection of Dave Wentz's home. That real-life approach makes you want to keep reading, because the reader can relate to what's going on.

4. It's practical. Anyone can follow the advice in this book. In some cases, the authors say what's ideal but provide you with less than ideal alternatives for improving your home environment. It's directed at ordinary people who have ordinary incomes and ordinary levels of discipline. You do not have to become a monk to reap the benefits.

5. It's timely. In a nation that just recently endured major legislation allegedly concerned with lowering medical care costs while increasing the overhead involved in medical care and doing zilch in regard to health care, this book helps anyone solve root causes of medical problems. Health care is the key to greatly reducing medical care costs.

Another way this book stands out is there is no fluff. By that, I mean the authors don't waste your time with "advice" that is unlikely to be of any use. Nor do they try to tell us that we need to go back to the stone age or do anything else that is impractical. I'm tempted to provide examples, but I'd rather you read the book for yourself so you can enjoy the wealth of information in it, plus enjoy the health benefits of following what Dr. Wentz advises.

If the federal government actually wanted to reduce medical costs and fix the Medicare cost problem, it would issue a copy of this book to everyone who files a tax return. That small investment would save the public treasury billions of dollars per year, assuming the recipients read this marvelous book and followed even half of its sensible advice.

This book is nicely laid out, with a typeface that's actually large enough for an adult. It seems like a quick read, even though it's packed with information.

It consists of 6 chapters and two epilogues in 250 pages. It contains nice graphics and informative sidebars. Especially helpful are the frequent questionnaires that help the reader grade how well s/he is doing in a particular area. These are short, but illuminating.

I am writing this review about a week after my father died from causes that adherence to this book would have prevented. Sure, buy a copy for yourself and refer to it weekly. But get a copy for someone else, too. The greater the number of people following the advice in this book, the more all of us win.

Dr. Myron Wentz and his son, Dave Wentz (CEO of Usana Health Sciences, Inc.) have collaborated on a great guide to educate families on the hidden dangers inside the home. Dave's life changed with the birth of his first child in 2009, as all of us change when we become parents. That enlightenment confirmed for him the need to look at changing things...not the world, but where we spend the most time...the home.

This book provides facts and studies on the areas where we spend the most time; the bedroom, the bathroom, the office, the kitchen...our homes. The authors reveal small changes every family can make to reduce exposure to toxins and chemicals, and by doing so, to increase their chances of a longer, healthier lifestyle. The information is presented in an easy-to-read, humorous (where appropriate) fashion.

As an eco-friendly interior designer, I constantly keep an eye out for new books in my field. When I saw The Healthy Home: Simple Truths to Protect Your Family from Hidden Household Dangers, I picked it up (at B+N) and read it on the spot.

This is not the first book on this subject, but it is well researched and I had learned a lot. It is written by three authors--doctor Wentz and his son and Donna Wallace, the "listener". It is the the father who provides the unique perspective because he is a cellular doctor and it is through his understanding that we learn how toxic products actually harm and can destroy cells.

The book explains the hidden dangers in the home. The authors believe that indoor air pollution will one day be considered the asbestos of yesteryear.

Beginning in the bedroom, they discuss the common hidden toxins that can harm our health--from pesticides in mattresses, to chemicals in our pajamas to electricity. They also offer simple ans safe solutions.

I love the fact that they tell us to use our noses to help determine what is unhealthy--that a healthy and clean home is one that basically has no smell. They illustrate the dangers of perfume in an experiment with crickets dying from the chemicals that are perfume. And, they compare the dangers to perfume to that of second hand smoke! (As someone who is chemically sensitive, I say, amen! I am just waiting for the fine day that perfume is banned from all public spaces!)

I recommend HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT as a companion to this book, as I use it as a reference for my work. I also like books by Michael Pollan on how and what to eat.

This book is clear and easy to read and understand. Recommend.

Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz have produced a valuable resource that should be in every home in America. This book is one of those that you will devour and then go back and use as a reference over and over.

It is filled with practical steps that you can take now to protect yourselves and your loved ones from the hidden dangers in your home.

Give a copy to everyone you care about!

The Bodybuilding.com Guide to Your Best Body: The Revolutionary 12-Week Plan to Transform Your Body

The Bodybuilding.com Guide to Your Best Body: The Revolutionary 12-Week Plan to Transform Your Body and Stay Fit ForeverDo not waste your money in this book. Yo can just access the bodybuilding.com page mentioned constantly in this book and you will have access to the same content. I'm a big fan of the page and that's why I came across this book but to be honest, this book was a total dissapointment. The mention of Bodyspace five times on every single page was just to annoying to keep reading. Yeah, I get that Bodyspace is supposed to help you by interacting with other people trying to achieve fitness goals but I'm pretty sure the main purpose why people join is to post their pictures in little clothes so that others can give them a good rating on the pictures. The transformation stories were the only part of the book worth reading and these you can find in the bodybuilding.com.

Body By Design is a book about a lifestyle plan. It shows the steps you need to take to make sensible changes that will affect your health and fitness for years to come whatever your age. The success stories featured in this book are true stories about real people who discovered what clean eating and exercise could do to make real and lasting changes in their lives.

The body plan in Body By Design gives you all the information you need to become fit and healthy for the rest of your life.

Unlike other fitness books, Body by Design addresses other VITAL areas for a body and life transformation. Providing REAL solutions for areas such as motivation, goal setting, food preparation, will-power, tracking progress, inspiration, and support systems gives Body by Design an edge and sets it apart from other books in this genre.

I find it very strange that there are around 38 reviews giving 5 stars to this book on the day of its release(december 28, 2010), and about 12 reviews on december 29, the second day of its release and many others the following days. Now I could understand that some people could of read the book in one day and rushed to their computer to write a review on amazon, but the title of this book says: "The Complete 12-WEEK Plan to Transform Your Body Forever". Did this people complete the 12 week plan on few days(some of them on just 1 day)or are those people just bodybuilding.com fanboys who gave the book 5 stars without even reading it? You make your judgment but don't buy this book for the number of reviews because many are fake.

Kris Gethin's book, Body by Design, deserves a 5-star rating, but not for its awe-inspiring, earth-shattering tips on how to shape up with little effort, but rather for its focus on what it means to truly change your life forever.

Kris Gethin introduces the Body by Design plan by highlighting the core principles on which it is based. Kris refers to these as the "four pillars of power." These principles make Body by Design stand out...we are not just talking about diet and exercise, we are talking about "cutting edge, motivational science" the fuel behind true transformation success.

1. Burn and Build. Burn bridges? Well, only the ones that don't help us meet our health and fitness goals. In the book, you get a quick overview of the scientific research linking obesity to friends. As hard as it may be, Kris is right, to succeed means surrounding ourselves with people who can help us succeed, people who truly WANT to see us succeed. "Sometimes you have to burn a few bridges so you can make way for some stronger, more positive ones to be built."

2. Live Out Loud. If you're serious about transforming your body, then share it with everyone. Everyone? Yes, EVERYONE. Not only will you hold yourself accountable, your friends and family will too. Simply stated, "Your life minus goals equals settling for less than your potential."

3. Get Radical. Another great piece of advice. Don't just tell everyone about your new goal, join a social network; reach out to thousands that will hold you accountable! How does it work? Kris explains that the system of accountability works for these primary reasons: the continuous feedback you are certain to get, the bonds that you create by connecting with others with similar goals, and the confidence that comes from experiencing success! Track your performance and share it with others.

4. Take it Home. I love how Kris admits that "life doesn't exist in a vacuum." Life will present its challenges and to increase our chances of success, we should anticipate those challenges now. Day in and day out, we hear about the "what." In this book, Kris introduces us to the "how." You get the "what to change," "how to change," and "how to make that change last!"

Not only is the content great, but I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of the book overall. With tips throughout and inspirational quotes from real people, I found myself hungry for more. I especially appreciated the featured transformation stories splashed throughout the book. These are real people with real struggles; people who have faced truly difficult challenges in life but overcame them by taking control of their health and fitness. You have to read the stories for yourself; your jaw WILL drop.

Essential Abs: An Intense 6-Week Program (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides)

Essential Abs: An Intense 6-Week ProgramI purchased about 10 books from Amazon on abs in order to compare them. This one is a rather simplistic book. It's like an enlarged Men's Health magazine article. If all you want is a book that tells you exactly what to do for a specific time period, you'll be better off with The Body Sculpting Bible for Abs, which has more information as well as a DVD. Here's my conclusion from comparing books...

If You Want to Trim Your Waistline: You can't trim your waistline without losing fat, and you can't lose fat around your waist without losing it everywhere (focusing on a muscle group like the abdominal muscles doesn't burn fat in that location, just a little bit of fat from everywhere on the body). So, if you want to trim your waistline, skip the ab workout books and go with a good, proven overall weight loss and fitness book like Bill Phillips' Body for Life. The Abs Diet is a similar program, but like all the Men's Health publications, it advertises a 6-week transformation, which is just a little unrealistic. Plan on more like 12-24 weeks to see really noticeable changes if you are fat.

If You Want Sculpted Six-Pack Abs: If you are overweight at all, see above--you can't get a six pack while you're overweight, and you can't lose abdominal fat by doing an ab workout, so go for overall fitness. However, if you are already lean, see below.

If You Want to Strengthen or Build Your Ab Muscles: If you're trying to improve for work, play, or rehab, you might consider the following books: The Body Sculpting Bible for Abs Deluxe DVD Edition contains decently up-to-date information and tells you exactly what to do and when to do it, based on a six-week fitness course. If you're looking for a similar book with more information, you can choose from The Complete Book of Abs or The Complete Book of Core Training. The Complete Book of Abs (1998) is a little out of date in terms of its dietary/nutritional recommendations, but it focuses more on exercises that develop the external abdominal muscles (the ones you see in a six-pack), including lots of variations on leg lifts, bicycle motion, and sit-ups. It will also give you more resources for creating your own program, and, if that's what you want to do, go with this one instead of The Body Sculpting Bible. The Complete Book of Core Training (2006) focuses more on the functional body core, including internal abdominal muscles, legs, etc., and includes more trendy exercises using medicine balls, exercise balls, yoga, etc. A different sort of book is Stronger Abs and Back (1997), which was written before the current fad of selling "core training," but contains the elements of core training because it gives good functional sports-focused advice. Its dietary recommendations are out of date, but it recommends a 24-week workout plan, which is much more realistic than the 6-week plans advocated by many of the other books.

If You Have Back Pain: See your doctor, and if he prescribes abdominal/core strengthening, see above.

My one-book recommendation: Body for Life.

My two-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back.

My three-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back + The Complete Book of Abs.

My four-book recommendation: Body for Life + Stronger Abs and Back + The Complete Book of Abs + The Abs Diet.

Hope this helps!!

I am 5'9" 200, not a thin guy. Used a low carb diet to lose 10 pounds along with this program and in 2 weeks could see real results. My waist is smaller and I see definition in my abdominal area for the first time since my military college days, 35 years ago. The exercises are very well-described, not unusually difficult, and can be done on a living room floor with no equipment. You feel and see the results immediately. I usually complete the third level in 15 minutes. I have never written an online review before but was so pleased with this book and the results I felt that I should. For me it was money well-spent.

The book delivers what it promises: An Intense Six-week program to train your Abs from every angle. But this book is more than just an Abs workout, it is a small, handy and complete reference with useful information that includes: essential physiology, flexibility stretches, and essential techniques.

Probably you wont get ripped in just six weeks, but from my experience I can tell you that the program really works, so in six weeks you will increase your abdominal strength and resistance, and of course you will certainly loss belly fat and get a better definition.

If you are interested in a more comprehensive coverage of ABS exercises and workouts, you may want to check "The Complete ABS" by the same author.

Having already achieved the first four chapters of the book may make my opinion biased. That written, it's a great guide, with lots of photos, a well-directed course toward progressively more advanced workouts, and tips on whether you are doing the exercises correctly and how to make adjustments if you are missing the mark. Having been through a serious back injury and a very seriously fractured foot (AND NEITHER WERE FUN!), I read LOTS of rehab and exercise materials. Essential Abs is definitely the best excercise pub I've read. And, as a lanky female, it's been a stitch to read a book written for men. A gentleman at my health club recommended it to me -and, he definitely looks in great shape. So, you just received a book review and a woman's view on whether Essential Abs is worth putting your money where your stomach is!

I was a Teaching Fellow in Physiology in graduate school, did additional graduate study in biochemistry and at one time worked as a personal trainer. I am also someone who has had my share of injuries, including a herniated disk. When I reviewed this book, I did so through this lens and as one who has some direct knowledge of the area being explored.

In my opinion, this book is a REAL jewel. It is short, but it covers a progressive, logical and safe routine for building outstanding abs. In addition, it includes good information about combining abdominal training with aerobics, weight lifting and reasonable diet tips.

In addition to the above, the book is written in an easy to follow, upbeat manner. It is encouraging and provides enough detail on how to do exercises properly. This is probably the only abs book you will ever need.

Two other books that may be of interest are: Back Care Basics: A Doctor's Gentle Yoga Program for Back and Neck Pain Relief and Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body. I recommend the former for people with back issues and the latter for people who want more in-depth coverage of weight training.

Overall... this book is a GREAT place to start a fitness program that is easy to impliment, stick to and get good results. In my opinion, it's all you need to get started and it will take you fairly far by itself. There isn't any hype here, just good information packed into a small package.
