Dr. Thie's books on Touch for Health have sold in excess of 500,000 copies. No chiropractor has ever developed a patient education program that has had the influence that Touch for Health has. Touch for Health caught the attention of many laymen and other health professionals in several disciplines, and spawned national and international workshops and certification programs. It has spread some of the methods of applied kinesiology (particularly the Traditional Chinese Medicine, somatovisceral and viscerosomatic reflexes, and emotional methodologies) to "hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the globe." (Keating, 2005)

The importance of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been shown to countless people in the West using the Touch for Health methods (based on the bridge provided by the manual muscle test and the early applied kinesiology reflex diagnostic and treatment techniques of Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr.).

The clinical sections include detailed descriptions of treatment approaches for the cervical region, the cranium, the shoulder and upper extremity, the thorax, the low back and pelvis, the thighs, legs and feet. The artwork and illustrations are superb, some of the best ever produced in the kinesiology kingdom.

There are not many scientific references in the textbook, but rather "best practices" are taken from anecdotal sources rather than from scientific peer-reviewed journals, which may undermine the book's overall scientific credibility. In this age of evidence-based medicine, some scientists and clinicians may consider that this book contains only personal, speculative opinions, presented with a high degree of authority.

However this is the best "How To" manual on "Kinesiology" ever produced, and derives its methodologies from applied kinesiology and the International College of Applied Kinesiology, which has a significant evidence base. Further, Touch For Health has begun a serious research program and have produced some impressive early results confirming some of the cornerstone procedures of its methods.

Dr. Thie and his son Matthew Thie have delivered a book that can be studied in basic and advanced level massage courses around the world. The text is also an excellent reference for the practicing massage therapist, acupuncturist, nutritionist and bodyworker who is committed to ongoing continuing education. Highly recommended!

With the publication of "One Man Alone", Dr. Gonzalez makes a welcomed addition to the legacy of two original and creative thinkers, Drs. Beard and Kelley, who proposed and practiced a radically new and innovative cancer treatment using pancreatic enzymes to augment the body's natural immunological defense system.

The Introduction and the Biographical Sketch of Dr. Kelley in Part I gave interesting details of an intensely  dedicated figure who strode across the landscape of complementary and alternative healing in giant steps.  Chapters II and III were very instructive and resonated strongly, because of a total lack of even a fundamental understanding on my part of the true nature of the autonomic nervous system.  The inclusion of these essays fits perfectly in the over-all scheme and logic of the book's organization.

The long awaited publication of the 50 Kelley case histories provide an excellent addition to the literature of the healing arts. These case studies simply have to be acknowledged and either refuted or recognized but they should not be ignored. The challenge of dealing scientifically with these authentic medical cancer histories could serve to gain momentum toward the time when all the legitimate parts of the healing profession come together to achieve a common goal.

I must pay my sincere respects to Dr. Gonzalez for the honest and compasionate homage he paid his mentor, Dr. William D. Kelley.  This gesture gives us a sense of the brilliance, insight, and integrity as well as the outstanding professionalism of Dr. Gonzalez and the key role he is playing in the formidable task of keeping the Beardian legacy alive in spite of enormous obstacles.

Anyone whose goal is to educate and empower themselves to make informed cancer treatment decisions will greatly benefit from reading "One Man Alone".

By Virginia MacIvor Meyn, Ph. D.

Most of us who would call ourselves seekers have acquired a vocabulary that describes the ups and downs we all confront along the path of lifethe dark woods, the brambles, the rocks and stumbling blocks, all metaphors that point to a natural phenomenon.  Of course such metaphors have a basis in reality.  Both as a biological process and as an evolution in consciousness, life inevitably presents obstacles.  All the world religions and spiritual practices, and their more recent incarnation, modern psychotherapy, are based on the inevitability of these obstacles and on ways to get through them or surmount them.
In the course of the latter half of the 20th century, emphasis has been placed more and more on the process itself as an adventure rather than as a trial or a scourge to be overcome or a battle to be fought.  This adventure has been viewed as part of a continuous path of healing:  healing the body, healing the mind, healing the whole.  According to this thinking, what were once considered crises are viewed as opportunities for inner growth.  The role of victim has no place on this stage, because the brambles, the rocks and stumbling blocks are all to be found within.  The healing process does not merely remove or palliate the symptoms; it penetrates to the source and removes the cause.  It is an ongoing process.
Of course this thinking is not new; it is inherent in the consciousness of the great poets and spiritual guides of world history.  And it is a legacy we would be at peril to ignore.
There are many ways to approach this kind of healing.  Books and more books have been written on it.  Some clear the misunderstandings that obscure its true meaning and some compound them.  One little book in particular achieves the former, with such economy and elegance and transparency that sheer inspiration shines through.  This book is entitled Opening the Aloha Mind: Healing Self, Healing the World with Hooponopono, by Jim Nourse.
Hooponopono is a practice in Hawaiian tradition with its roots in ancient Polynesia; its purpose is to restore harmony and balance, to make right.  The practice was initially performed to resolve interpersonal conflicts within families and social groups, and in the 1970s and 1980s was adapted for personal healing by and within the individual.  This practice bypasses analysis and goes straight to the heart of the problem.  The subconscious assumes a central role because it is there that the problem is rooted and memories are stored.  Do not be lulled into thinking youve heard this before.  Memory takes on a different meaning in this tradition, and so do the tools used to clear or clean memory:  repentance, forgiveness, and transmutation.  Memory is perceived to create much of the whole complex of experience that we call reality.  It includes habits of thinking that trap us in endless tapes we rerun again and again, creating stress and eventually sickness and then projecting blame on others for our misfortune.  Memory is considered a sort of living entity with whom we must form a compatible working relationship if healing is to be accomplished.
The Hooponopono practice of cleaning memory is very personal, very simple, and very effective.  And very easily misunderstood.  Dr. Nourse understands it.  He experiences its effects in every moment of his life and he convincingly conveys this to others.
Pick up this little book and you will likely not be able to put it down, not if your spinning mind is seeking a liberating new approach into the dark woods and the briar patches that have held you fast.

The Brains Way of Healing starts with a superb description of the former axiomatic belief in the neuroscience community of the immutability of the CNS and the more recent research that has slain that conceptual dragon. The articulation of the ideas in the book is a model of exposition; the language is direct, simple yet elegant, which is no mean trick when conveying the meaning of technical research studies. The book offers real hope to individuals suffering from diverse chronic conditions. It shows in terms of graphic personal stories that we truly do not yet know the limits of what is possible in rehabilitation. The book also has a number of creative integrations of the data that will be of interest to neuroscientists.

The author is a cardiologist and medical educator who skillfully draws together five elements transforming our world and applies them to medicine.  The five are Genomics, the Internet, handheld devices and smartphone applications, electronic medical records, evidence based medicine.  Topol envisages a world where empowered patients with a sequenced personal genome can use their I Phones and sensors to interact with their health providers to use evidence based solutions to improve their health.  The writing is clear and designed for the general educated public, and is well documented.  It is an inspiring book.

This work provides a framework for implementing a program of life-long skills in diet management. The presentation is easy to
read and implement. A strength of the work is that it covers the
motivational side of dietary management.
 Major themes address the
 nurturing of our bodies, pride in ourselves and a balanced
eating regimen. The book definitely recommends life style changes as a condition precedent to implementing a successful
diet strategy. The key concepts to learn are balanced diet,
intimacy, vibrance, spirituality, rewards and interests. This
book develops an extensive self-care regimen with accompanying
support systems to encourage the desired behavioral
modifications. The work is an important addition to the existing
health library. Diet management requires a
disciplined approach which this author instills in the reader. The purchase is a solid value for the price charged.

Coming Into Balance: A Guide for Activating Your True Potential belongs in new age and spirituality collections alike, and provides a book of spiritual healing practices based on the Medicine Wheel concept, a spiritual Mandela found in many cultures from Native American to Celtic and Hindu. While some prior familiarity with the Wheel of Life concept is recommended to make the most of this book, its purpose is to provide a template for empowerment and success via a workbook packed with keys to developing circles of consciousness and connection in the world.

While concepts of mandalas, medicine wheels and circles of life aren't anything new to the field of new age thinking, what is different here is having a step-by-step guide that provides exercises and informational keys to change - and, of course, this presupposes that readers are interested in both hard personal work and change.

Those with such a purpose are admonished to use this workbook's step-by-step process with mindfulness, without skipping ahead, skimming its surface, or mistaking simplicity for shallowness. Every chapter holds a different focus, whether it be using moon cycles to track significant events and times in one's life to understanding how the medicine wheel is replicated in nature. Each chapter is significant, each is full of promise, and each requires work to make the most of its insights: the rest is up to the reader.

The times, they are a-changin. Today, even as technology has achieved immense successes in changing the quality of life for many, there is yet much to be done in the health sector. There are a lot of chronic bodily malfunctions, e.g. neurodegenerative disorders, some forms of cancer, diseases caused by resistant bacteria and even fibromyalgia for which there is no specific cure. On the other hand, many people are also exploring the New Age/Vedic paradigm that all answers are within you, especially when it comes to diseases for which there is no cure according to conventional medicine, either for yourself, or your loved ones. This ebook documents the authors own story as he cured himself of a nagging chest pain which would not let him sleep and which had been plaguing him for months on end.

After trying out several health giving options, including an early morning jog, a healthy diet, an assortment of herbal teas and acupuncture, the author approached a healer trained in kinesiology by Donna Eden, author of the seminal book Energy Medicine. This treatment helped for a short length of time, but it also paved the way for the author to understand and to modify a certain technique based on the principles of Kinesiology,  In this ebook, the author describes in detail how he uses this technique to communicate with his own spiritual DNA (see the Kryon books by Lee Carroll) to get specific yes/no answers to specific questions. This is followed by the actual conversation that the author had  with his spiritual DNA. Questions like what to eat, whether to exercise, how long something would take to heal and so on are taken up, The documentation continues until the pain disappears.

This is a very well written ebook in the best traditions of the same, concise, easy to read and packed with information with a personal touch. Yet this book affirms something more. This something is a gestalt, a sense of the ever present reality of the energy body that has all the answers we seek. A sense that with a few tweaks with our bodily movements, we can get answers to our life questions, answers that can make a real difference to our lives. This kind of documentation is very much the need of the hour, as we grapple with problems that require the use of coping faculties that we did not even know we possessed, faculties that are accessible only to our extended selves that stretch outside  of space time. We, need to realize that energy medicine is  real and one can indeed find solutions we seek, if we only ask in the right way.

Warmly recommended.

The work defined in this book and Luckman's previous book Conscious Healing should be the starting place of every health practice.  As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and Acupuncturist, having a tool with which to align the body and create  tangible potential for healing is beyond magnificent.  Using this book I performed a potentiation on myself and my entire family.  Over the past almost two months what I mark as the most significant impact has been our growing understanding of our potential as beings.  Finding a connection to love and gratitude has become so much simpler, as has happiness, joy and dissolution of fear.  Healing has become easier, which I have noticed as diminished headaches and reduced time spent in pain for myself.

Furthermore, what I have found is that the changes are not only subjective, but objective as well as I have been able to observe lab values moving toward normal as the process proceeds.  Anyone with a desire to elevate their energetic and physical potential needs to understand Luckman's work and experience it for themselves.  I wake up daily with gratitude for what has already happened in my life as the result of this information.

Whats the Matter by Dr. Mike Godfrey.
 "A doctors journey into our inate spirituality".
This is an exciting and highly intellectual book, a product of a 10-year gestation and a personal journey of discovery that won the annual award of the Ashton Wylie  Charitable trust for the best body  mind  spirit book.  Dr. Godfrey gives the reader a sense of the subject matter in the Dedication and Prologue in which he acknowledges that science and spirituality are at last coming together.
Inspiration came to the author by his introduction to Sri Sathya Sai Baba in India, recognized by millions  of people as an Avatar and the greatest spiritual leader of the 20th century.  He condemns the present reductionist aspect of modern medicine, beckoning us to a new age where Mind over Matter must have much greater importance in the healing of sickness in the body.  The art of medicine lies in the ability of the healer to understand the spiritual knowledge that has long been part of the profound holistic health care system of all ethnic peoples for millennia.  He challenges the impact of true religion over religiosity and emphasizes the Near Death Experience (NDE) as factual evidence for a life beyond death.  For both patients and doctors, this book is an inspiration, leading us towards a better understanding of the responsibility of each in the objectives sought by both.

I could not put this book down..it is wonderful.  The author provides a balanced perspective on the use of both western and eastern medicine and exercise techniques in attaining optimal health and wellbeing.  It is a practical, understandable and attainable set of practices--addressing lifestyle, eating habits, longevity exercise routines, and body/mind care.  It is a roadmap to a healthy, balanced, fulfilling, high quality long life!

I have consistently followed Dr. Kuhn's roadmap, including the daily practice of Qigong, for the last 2 years and have personally experienced great results. As a holistic fitness coach, certified qigong instructor and  personal trainer, I teach and incorporate many of the practices outlined in this book.  The results for my client's have been excellent.

Dr. Kuhn is a compassionate and wonderful healer.  I am grateful that she has shared her lifetime of experience and expertise with the world.

David Shannahoff-Khalsa is a gift to the science of self-healing. After exploring the clinical effects of Kundalini yoga, I became very interested in a more scientific and detailed discussion of the application of this methodology. This book, as well as Kundalini Yoga Meditation and Kundalini Yoga Meditation for Complex Psychiatric Disorders have become my clinical go to for all of my patients. These protocols have the power to shift symptoms and life experience within the space of several weeks, and to have these guides is an incredible asset. Afterall, for some indications, this may be the most powerful medicine available!

I am so grateful that Dr. Deng and Dr. Raia, the extended team of researchers and patients have committed themselves to challenging the dominant framework in Medicine, which tends to see bodily treatment as the primary concern of healthcare professionals. We have interspersonal therapies, religious institutions and other demarcated spaces  to address spiritual and emotional needs though they are really inseparable from the illness experience in the hospital bed, in the triumph of a death-defying surgery, in the complete loss of normal function. Maybe we do not know how to interact with the whole person with heart disease or any kind of debilitating illness because we cannot imagine what it is like to be that person. This book does an exceptional job at describing the foreignness of being a patient; we are immersed in an intimate and empathic dialogue with the multidimensional person: the soul in front of me with a mechanical heart who likes chocolate as much as I do. I think the way the book was written exemplifies the idea that interdisciplinary approaches are necessary to the advancement of healthcare; humanistic perspectives expressed in poetry, philosophy, and art inform an understanding of how we relate to our bodies, how we conceive of our personal identities, irreducible to the DNA in our cells, the leukocytes swimming in our blood. When we acknowledge a patients personhood, we harness great healing power- it is hope, it is meaning, it is a reclamation of ones circumstance and life. It is heart-wrenching and beautiful and nothing short of transformative.
Wow did I love this!!! :')

Listen to Your Soul and Heal Your Body of Chronic Disease
By Meirav Harel
Review By Ila Garg

Listen to Your Soul and Heal Your Body of Chronic Disease, a novel by Meirav Harel, is published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. The cover is quite minimalist. With a lady smiling from ear to ear reflecting hale and hearty vibes, this one is a self-help book.

This is a book on self-healing. In authors own words: I wrote this book so that it would not take you 10 years to heal yourselves as it has taken me as well as to give you the hope that you can heal yourselves of disease - both the inspiration to begin as well as practical guidance about what needs to be done - something that I did not have when I set out on my journey of healing. We have far more strength and power than we are accustomed to think or believe that we do. Yes, ordinary people who never went to medical school can do what doctors cannot: to heal from illness with healing that is real, complete, balanced, and non-chemical dependent.

The connection between the body and the soul can actually help one recover from chronic diseases without the need of pills. Every pain that we suffer is directly linked to this connection between body and soul. So to venture on the journey of self-healing, it is important to understand this connectionwhatever you are inside, you will be outside.

This 351-page book is a good read. However, it requires patience and understanding. You would have to go back and forth to comprehend what the author wants you to apply and heal yourself.

Dr. Kaplan has done something new and different -- he has presented a way to treat pain and depression that is new and different.

I found this book full of hope -- but  evidence based hope, along with a clear path and plan to follow.  The conclusion by Dr. Kaplan that these miserable conditions are caused by inflammation in the brain is very provocative and he makes his case in a highly effective manner.

The book is well written and clear for lay person and clinician alike.  Some of it reads like a mystery novel.  Like all successful people, Dr. Kaplan went through years of both success and failure while developing the science and evidence to support this course of treatment.

I think this book can be one of the most important for a sufferer of mental or physical pain.  I hope your journey is swift and successful.

Dr. Che's book is a far more in-depth and scientific work than the usual metaphysical offerings. Since hundreds of readers have already acknowledged this book for its Law of Attraction , I would like to address another aspect of this information. I have treated many thousands of patients in therapy  (Ph. D is in Clinical Psychology) and I have seen how a deeper understanding of how the mind works is healing for even very depressed and anxious people. Applying the wisdom gleaned by understanding how consciousness functions according to invariable principles permits patients to apply a  self-healing in very effective ways.  The person leans that events and moods do not descend upon them from some external locus of control but rather that consciousness creates and that they themselves can  have  far great control over  consciousness. This takes the mystery and fear out of life crippling disorders that are holding people in a misery that they have thought was mainly uncontrollable. The knowledge of consciousness is a great help to PTST suffers as well as they can learn how their mind works and how to take powerful control over the functions of awareness. I hope that Dr. Che will write another book on this aspect of the Law of  Attraction. He is uniquely suited to do so, in my opinion.
