The Antibiotic Alternative: The Natural Guide to Fighting Infection and Maintaining a Healthy Immune

Ever wonder about the origin of some home remedies? Perhaps those of your family or maybe of anothers? Ever wonder if they really work? Dr Jones explains in plain language the origin and the use of many readily avaliable minerials and herbs as home remedies as well as alternatives to doctor prescribed medications. In the time I have owned the book, I have found it to be a regular referral source for "what ails ya". Besides being informative, I found it to be fast and easy reading.

The Antibiotic Alternative is clearly written and very easy to follow. For added depth, the back section of the book provides very in-depth monographs for botanicals including garlic and myrrh. The book also includes recipes and information on harvesting and drying herbs. In addition to treating various conditions naturally, the major message Dr. Jones expresses in The Antibiotic Alternative is the need to strengthen your immune system beforehand. This she explains is the best defense against infectious disease and major health problems.

The Antibiotic Alternative: The Natural Guide to Fighting Infection and Maintaining a Healthy Immune System

By Cindy L.A. Jones, Ph.D.

(Healing Arts Press, a division of Inner Traditions, 2000, ISBN 0-89281-877-8)

Looking back to 1969, when the U.S. surgeon general stated that "the war on infectious diseases had been won" in large part because of antibiotics, makes me realize the necessity of being responsible for my health. In a time when we are bombarded by information and misinformation, it's comforting to have Dr. Jones's guide on hand and to know she holds a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology. Very well laid out with an excellent index for cross-referencing.

Ayurveda and Panchakarma: The Science of Healing and Rejuvenation

On a trip to Paris, I picked up a magazine that contained an article by Dr. Joshi. It intriqued me. I followed the diet that he recommended for 21 days in the article and I felt amazingly better. So when I returned home from France, I decided to look up this Dr. Joshi and see what else he has written. Took the book to read on another trip and I was very impressed. His caring and non-critical nature comes through in his writing. He explains the Ayurvedic medical concepts thoroughly. He explains what doshas are and how to begin to accept yourself as the type of person that you are...all with distinct kindness and gentleness reflective of himself and his culture. He doesn't push or sell an agenda. He states facts. This would be a good book to read after something like Perfect Health by Chopra, because it reinforces and further explains principles in a slightly more clinical form. I liked the book very much and would not hesitate to recommend to the curious health addict.

I love this book! It clearly explains aspects of Ayurveda that I never could understand before. For example the difference between Agni & Pitta, is usually explained in a confusing way in other books, but here it totally makes sense. Dr. Joshi explains concepts using real-life examples drawn from his years of clinical experience, with real people/clients. It get the feel that he knows what he is talking about, which is something I don't find with many of the other books. Most of the other books on Ayurveda that I have read seem to be written by folks that are more students of Ayurveda, rather than practioners with years of clinical experience. For me I want to know that suggestions work in the Real World, with real people.

If you want want a great intro to Ayurveda you can't go wrong with this book.

This is an extraordinarily informative book that does a tremendous job of putting panchakarma in the broader perspective of overall ayurvedic practice. Although the book is written at a level for practitioners, non-practitioners like myself will find it immensely useful.

The Ultimate Hairstyle Handbook: with over 40 step-by-step picture tutorials and haircare tips

I had been looking for a good hairstyle book for a long time and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for! All I wanted was some kind of step-by-step guide that could show me how to dress up my hair a bit so it wasn't so "blah" and boring all the time, yet still casual enough for everyday life...and maybe one or two ideas for fancier occasions too.

Every other hairstyle book out there I could find was either geared toward girls/teens, or had only very outdated styles, or was more about different hair cuts, or fancy, prom/wedding type updos. I have long, straight hair and just wanted to find everyday styles other than just wearing it down or putting it in a ponytail.

This book has so many great ideas AND step-by-step instructions for me to do the hairstyles on myself; no other person's help is needed. I also liked how there were some general tips on keeping your hair healthy and recommendations for styling products at the beginning.

AND, as a plus, I was introduced to the author's blog, which I have now been following. :)

The hairstyles are great, don't get me wrong. There's a good mix of "trendy" and "wear-to-work." But I feel the need to warn buyers that a) this is NOT a book for beginners; and b) this ONLY has hairstyles for very long hair. If you're like me and can't french braid your own hair or have longish medium-length hair, don't waste the money. Maybe I'm just uniquely useless at hairstyling, but that's why I bought a book! The photos are close-ups so it's hard to figure out where the model is positioning her hands, and because most of them are in black and white it can be difficult to figure out the precise instructions (the photo quality could be better). I have tried several of the "easier" styles on myself (bohemian, braid-bun) with absolutely no success.

If you have long hair and already have moderate hairstyling skill, you won't go wrong. But if your hair isn't six inches past your shoulders or you're just starting to experiment with your hair and struggling, this is only going to confound you.

I got this book when it was first released and it is a great resource while i'm with clients. As a professional hairdresser having something as a PDF on my phone that has 40 images of styles I can easily recreate is a gem!! When you are somewhere that has no service the PDF option is KEY!!! I love that some of them are just basic everyday knowledge but everyone has to start somewhere! I have referred quite a few friends and clients to this e-book and they have all raved about it!

Home Safe Home

This is a must book for every home! All areas of potential toxins are covered, and there is a huge index of resources of where to purchase healthy products, with phone numbers addresses and websites! I bought a lot of great products that I would never have known about this way, and I am very greatful for all the practical advice in the book. I never could pinpoint what was making me sick, but after reading this book, I didn't wonder "why" I had a headache after standing in a newly painted room, etc.!

I literally planned my house around the advice given in this book! On many subjects, different views are given, and you are left to weigh the pluses and minuses and decide for yourself. This book is easy to read, fascinating, and not at all preaching. The author is also not bound by any predisposition to follow any specific views (i.e. she is not completely conventional or completely alternative) and just presents the facts straightforwardly.

It is challenging these days to know what cookware to buy, how to get rid of ants without calling pest control, and what bubblebath is safe. I was surprised to learn that even my home's type smoke detectors contained fadioactive material (yikes) and that even your ironing board can outgass fumes...This book is very very helpful to me, this is info that is hard to find elsewhere!

This book was a real eye opener for me during my first read--EYE OPENER!. I went through every chapter with a fine tooth comb and to tell you the truth I was shocked. Shocked because I have been assuming, up to this point, that the products I was using, in my household, in my hair, on my skin (the stuff I grew up on) was safe. Now I know this is USUALLY NOT the case. I have used this book as a continuous reference, a Bible if you will. READ THE LABELS on your products! This book changed my life and gave me an excellent education about how toxic our homes and body products REALLY are. Now...I rather dislike the companies who make toxic cleaning products, makeup and body products (and food). My hope is that someday this world will stop supporting the bad stuff and move on to the good.

What I love most about this book, is that Dadd gives practical changes that can be made as gradually or quickly as budget demands. We use alot of the recipes for natural cleaning in this book. But my favorite recipe overall is for the Ginger Soda... mmmm. As my children grow out of their old toys, almost all plastic, we've been getting them new ones that are more natural (wooden mostly). And as they are growing out of their clothes we replace them with cotton fabric. I was very suprised, as I looked at the tags in the clothes, how much of it was synthetic blends. We've replaced the childrens' and our bedding with 100% cotton and we're all sleeping better. I recommend this book to everyone who will give me the time of day! Enjoy and have safer, happier home!!
