This Book will Save Lives
359275
This book contains valuable information that will save lives, not only the lives of those gripped in addiction who might continue addicted because the treatment industry has  perpetuated folklore about their condition, but also the quality of  thier lives and the lives of their families as well. How many of you have put your loved ones in a "Treatment" Center only to have them return to drink or drugs again? Yet you might be told "relapse" is "normal," in the "disease" of addiction.  Could the problem of frequent "relapse" be perpetuated by the treatment industry itself?  Is there really a medical disease-alcoholism-- that only the religious superstitions of Bill Wilson can arrest?
If the abstinence model dressed with AA dogma is helpful, why so many relapses? Why do so many studies show these treatments are no more effective than nothing at all?
Look at the case of Darryl Strawberry.  Why is his wife out posing in defense religious treatment center magnates when Darryl has yet to be cured--in spite of the  hundreds of thousands of dollars spent at top-name treatment  centers? Could it be these treatments have actually harmed Darryl Strawberry?
What about the insurance companies who pay out tens of thousands of dollars for a "treatment center" that offers religious superstitions as "treatment?" This is a problem, especially since it helps boost medical insurance premiums sky high for everyone, including the vast majority of former addicts who manage to steer clear of treatment and quit on their own when they are ready.
Thanks to bold writers like Stanton Peele, a chink broken in the wall of Treatment Fantasy is becoming an enormous hole. Naturally, treatment moguls don't like Stanton. What else might we expect?

I think this book just saved my life, if for no other reason I'm not going to jump off a bridge. (More truth to that then you would imagine.) I started the increased dosing of magnesium 2 days ago and already my blood pressures are normalizing. In the last 4 weeks I've been to Urgent Care twice, and both times sent directly to the ER by the Urgent Care doctor, to my family doctor twice, and to an internal medicine doctor yesterday who is sending me to 2 more specialists. I had to get a CT scan of my brain - that was scary, but no tumor. All of the doctors are disagreeing and I'm scared and angry. But getting this book expressed shipped to me a few days ago has answered my questions and is putting me on the road to some relief. By the way, all this misery started from a trip to the dentist where I was given anesthetic with adrenaline....you'll have to read about it in the book. WOW! Other medical problems that I already have like temporal lobe epilepsy and hypothyroidism started to cascade, but I think I have put the brakes on now and will start climbing back out of the hole I'm in. GET THIS LITTLE BOOK. Quick read, and not very expensive. Do what he says and if you have MVPS, you WILL feel better soon. I have hope for the first time in 4 weeks. Thank you Dr. Hoffman for your compassion towards those of us with this problem, and for not telling us it is all in our heads. Even my husband, a psychiatric nurse, is starting to believe it is not my fault and he apologized for calling me a hypochondriac 2 weeks ago after reading it. He owes me flowers for that one.

I won't go quite so far as to say this book has saved my life, but I will say it has absolutely improved the QUALITY of my life since I was diagnosed with diastolic congestive heart failure last year. The book was recommended by a nurse at my pulmonologist's office, and she was absolutely right about how much it would help me understand CHF and what I can expect.

What I like the most about this book is that, when every other resource I've read about CHF has been grim and left me feeling fearful for my life, this book talks about improving quality of life and extending quantity of life, and actually gives hope that some people with CHF might be able to live a normal-ish life with just a few changes.

While my doctor had talked about reducing fluid intake and increasing my diuretics, he never explained why, and this book explains it in depth. Keeping my fluids under 2 liters has made a HUGE difference for me, and for the first time,I'm starting to see all the water weight I have been gaining from the CHF that has made me feel miserable, caused pain and stretched my skin, is going away. My total weight is coming down due to no longer having as much fluid retention.

Learning to limit my sodium intake was easier than limiting my fluid intake.

There are some amazing explanations of what medications are typically prescribed for what symptoms and what those medications do for the body and heart. For example, I did not know why I was taking enalapril, a blood pressure reducer, when I had low blood pressure or normal blood pressure, not high blood pressure. This book explained what enalapril (or its class of medications) did for shaping the heart and preventing certain things. Helped me understand why I need to take it.

Yet, even though the book gave plenty of technical information, it was written in layman's terms anyone should be able to understand. I liked that, and I liked that it gave more information and places to go find more information too. It discusses diet, doctor's visits, tests, medications, procedures--all around, just a really good tool for understanding what to expect when living with congestive heart failure.

The big thing though... and this was soooo huge for me: This book gave me hope.

After the diagnosis, I was terrified. I'd done everything right, wasn't sedentary, ate well, didn't drink, didn't do bad things to risk my health, so it seemed really unfair to end up with this condition. I was angry. But mostly, I was terrified I would die. This book showed me that while death is one possible outcome of CHF, it's not necessarily the only outcome, and that with proper care, proper diet, proper medication, I can live for a long time, and not just survive, but actually have a life. It was the first time anyone had given me this type of hope since the diagnosis, and my life has dramatically improved since making some of the changes in my lifestyle this book suggested.

I recommend it for anyone who has been diagnosed with CHF or loved ones who care for people with CHF. I consider this MUST-HAVE reading for all patients and caregivers with this condition. It also helps patients know what to ask their doctors and how to start these conversations with your doctor.

As an Emergency Physician dealing with intensely difficult problems, this book was key to helping me come up with plans to help patients go from being irate to being grateful and content.  You must learn how to swallow your pride and show individual respect to all people involved in a dispute.  This book is a MUST READ for every person who interacts with others.  This book saved my career.  After many years, nurses stated that I was so adept at resolving problems that they suggested I become a politician!  I was flattered, but in Emergency Medicine one must operate as a benevolent dictator in the guise of running a democracy.  One must be in control and there can be no room for much discussion when there is a life or death situation being dealt with.  I was always open to helpful comments or suggestions at times too.  The most valuable technique that this book teaches is to apologize even if it's not your fault.  That's hard for some to do, but is an amazing technique at how it defuses a problem.  If you have poor self-esteem, are insecure, or have similar attributes, you'll need to learn how to get over these feelings.  Role playing with others would be helpful and even better, attend one of Dale Carnegie's seminars or workshops.  Doc Jim

Two thumbs up for this masterpiece of a book by Mr. John Longenecker!  From the beginning to the end you will be captivated with a wealth of knowledge which is easy to understand, truthful, relevant to our times, and so written in a way that it is hard to put down until you have completed the reading of a book that will produce "Safer Streets" in America.

Whether you are a Liberty enthusiast, a Second Amendment enthusiast, or a non-gun owner, this book is for you.  You will gain knowledge here which you will get nowhere else.  It contains a collection of essays which emphasize how the Second Amendment is a mainstream value.  Having read Johns writings for a long time, many of these truths have never been published and others are updated to make a great read which will inspire you.

One of the greatest reads is the CPR Corollary, now with twelve elements.  The idea is that just as people are serious-minded about caring for others and being "trustworthy" as a mainstream value, so they will choose to be armed as much as knowing CPR.  A) The values are identical in moral purpose, and public interest, and B) A recent study of John's {the Safer Streets Gun Owner Survey}, showed that 79.5% of the gun owners surveyed already knew CPR and have made it a vital part of their preparedness plan.  Gun owners have the value of saving lives as thier main objective. He clearly shows that in the absence of first responders, being armed is as vital to saving lives in those critical moments of violence, as CPR is in the critical moments of life-saving intervention on a humans body.  This is a masterpiece corollation, I have never read anything like it before.  Individual, public citizens must be involved in the public security and safety of others.  It is our Right and our duty.  He also has created a CPR Corollary illustration to pictorially make the point.

Here is the big point shown so clearly by the Author: gun owners are very cosistent in what is shown as a positive mental attitude and values system, and that is why they undertake training in both handgun use and citizen CPR.  John has proved that this attitude changes the whole complexion of how gun owners are to be viewed by the rest of the electorate; independence of self in liberty, and self-expectations of duty in the absence of first responders.  They play an important role in the defense of, and the rescue of citizens in a life or death situation. A role no-one else can play when seconds count.

A powerful case for Militia is made in a series of essays, showing the role of Militia in 2011.  He clearly shows the friendly association of Militias and Law Enforcement in a wider preparedness model, and legal authority.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Liberty, safety, security, and personal responsibility for themselves and the citizens of the United States.  My advice, get it today.  You won't be disappointed, you will be inspired and informed!

The entire point of this book is discovery.  I hope no one is swayed by biased reviews into letting this opportunity slip by.  Read this book.  Whether you find truth in it or not is up to you.  I have seen it save lives.  I would not be alive today if it weren't for this book.

Excellent book, I agree with many of the other reviewers that indeed what the author writes in this book is all about common sense, but thats exactly what he states and sometimes we just need to be taught how to use certain gifts that we have, no shame in that.

I think it can save your life, the survival signals are very important, I've come across some of these traits and "more" in many people I've met and I appreciate having this book as a guide now to understand this further, if I had known then what I know now I could have done a better job at "helping myself"  Regardless i'm grateful to have found it now, and I'm having my mother read the book and enlightening my teenage sisters about the topic in a simplified form.

Thank you Mr. Gavin De Backer, you gave me the opportunity to understand my own behaviour and the chance to avoid harmful individuals by understanding their behaviour.

"Pooling Blood," by Cheryl  Nineff D'Ambrosio, is an amazing book. It relates the personal story of two girls with bleeding disorders, and the many challenges their parents face as they try to obtain proper treatment for their girls. The book is also an excellent source of valuable, potentially life-saving, information about navigating a health care system that is frequently unprepared to treat bleeding disorders in girls.
Cheryl recounts the many life-threatening episodes of bleeding her daughters experienced, and the frequent battles with health care professionals who have little or no experience treating such conditions. All too often, the medical staff chose to ignore the information provided by the parents, thereby putting the girls at serious risk. These frightening yet uplifting personal stories are the basis for Cheryl's drive to inform and advise patients, families, and the medical professionals who treat them.
This book should be required reading for all health care providers.

This book has the potential to save countless lives from awful pain and suffering. This book makes you think for yourself as a patent, go with your gut instinct about your precious child, and stop blinding trusting medical doctors. This book will spark any parent that reads it to research the vaccine scam which is the most important lifesaver within its pages. I have a vaccine injured child that would never had happened had I read this book first before trusting his uneducated pediatrician. TMR turns us into THINKERS for our children's health. God bless every parent who poured their soul out into these pages. I highly recommend buying this book for any pregnant mom you may know as it would be a priceless gift for them and their unborn child.

I think that if we all read this book, keeping it on hand until it's common knowledge, we would be a much healthier and happier society. And the health industry as we know it would change to the benefit of the human race rather then the drug companies that are counting on us to get sick. And the big food manufacturing companies who want us to get hooked on their toxic cancer causing foods. Live long, live healthy is what this book is about. And do it for the same amount of money that you are spending right now when you go to your local grocery store. I personally learned so much, the light bulb went on and I'm now embracing this new lifestyle and loving it. This BOOK is going to be a present that I buy over and again to send to my loved ones, Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Baby Showers, etc...It's the gift of life!
