A.D.D.: The Natural Approach--Anderson, Peiper
"Once parents have succeeded in peeling their hyperactive kids off the ceilings, they ship them off to the medical profession and, more often than not, come back with a prescription for Ritalin. Doctors need to be concerned about the lack of proper nutrition, i.e., minerals, not the lack of drugs. I am pleased that this simple, down to earth and honest book is available to the public and can be used as a holistic reference for ADD and ADHD, and most especially that it explains natural solutions that work." Gillian Marlew, N.D., family practice

The Myth of the A.D.D Child: 50 Ways to Improve Your Child's Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion--Armstrong
Customer Comment (rating=*****): The book is not quite as radical as it sounds; the author isn't saying that some kids aren't different or couldn't use intervention. What he's saying is that the "disorder" designation of ADD is not appropriate for most of the kids who get labeled as such. Yes, they're different, but there are lots of reasons why, including diet, learning styles, temperament, allergies, and normal heredity. The book is very practical.

No More Ritalin: Treating ADHD Without Drugs--Block
Customer Comment (rating=*****): Dr. Block gives excellent alternatives to the causes of the symptoms that doctors are "diagnosing" as ADD/ADHD.

We have taken our daughter to a naturopatic physican for over a year now, and the treatment she has received has made all the difference in the world! This book will change your life (and that of your child/children).

BREASTFEEDING

Breastfeeding the Adopted Baby (paperback)--Peterson
Customer Review (rating=*****): "As an adoptive parent who nursed her newborn, I have looked everywhere for any information on it. I was sorely disappointed in the lack of information and support that I was able to find on adoptive breastfeeding...until I got this book. As a childbirth educator and doula, I do volenteer work for a shelter in which I deal with adoption quite a lot...I recommend this book whenever I work with an adoptive parent wanting to nurse her baby.

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding : 35th Anniversary Edition--La Leche League International
NN Review: "This book is only available through this link used, as the title is out of print. But what a VALUABLE book! Even if you have already had children, if you are pregnant now or planning to get pregnant in the future, I strongly recommend getting your hands on a copy. This book is about so much more than just breastfeeding, but it is about the joy of mothering, or at least the joy it should and can be. In our busy world, babies can get lost in the shuffle--and not only are the babies damaged, but mothers, fathers, siblings, and the whole of society is cheated and profoundly affected. Over and over again this book confirmed and strengthened the deep longings in my heart that at times conflict with modern childrearing policy. I feel freer now to love and nurture my baby instinctively, in ways that are satisfying to both baby and to me. I don't feel as afraid of making mistakes when I am allowed to truly listen to my heart and to my baby's cues. Even if you think you know everything there is to know, read this book. It is a real heart-warmer and is like sitting down with a group of ladies and sharing both accumulated wisdom and fun chat."

BREATHING

The Breathing Book: Good Health and Vitality Through Essential Breath Work (paperback)--Farhi
Customer Comment (rating=*****): I would not be able to sit here long enough to type this review if it were not for Donna Farhi's Book, "The Breathing Book. It's early evening and by now my back would be in too much pain to sit at a computer. But thanx to learning how to breathe from my stomach and getting to know my body again I am doing just great. The book helped me immensely. I highly recommend it and wish Physical Ed teachers would throw away their required texts and start teaching the next generation the way Ms. Farhi is teaching. Maybe it can save others years of pain. It should be required reading for everyone. Thank you Ms. Farhi.

Jumpstart Your Metabolism: How to Lose Weight by Changing the Way You Breathe (paperback)--Grout
Customer Comment (rating=*****): Ms. Grout's book is a quick read with a very down-to-earth tone. I have very much enjoyed incorporating her breathing techniques into my life - for example, several of her "cocktails" and deep breathing techniques are great when feeling stressed on the job, and can be done in a crowded room with no odd looks. While I know that my weight loss (35 pounds so far) is a result of new eating and exercise habits, the "Grout" breathing has become a wonderful addition to my routine - very stress-relieving and energizing!

Cancer: Cause, Cure and Cover-up (paperback)--Gdanski
Customer Review (rating=*****): ""CANCER, Cause, Cure and Cover-up" is a bold account of how and why we are led to believe in the mystery of this disease. With copious background on mechanisms and references, the author has, in my opinion, succeeded in explaining this mystery. If one has read Dr. Becker's landmark work particularly the "Body Electric" and studied, even a little about parasitic and fungal diseases this book will provide you with the whole story behind the cancer industry."

Customer Review (rating=*****): "The Cancer Prevention Diet, by Michio Kushi, outlines the causes and cures for cancer, according to a macrobiotic philosophy. This philosophy, posited on yin-yang (as male-female) is about excess, imbalance (sickness) and balance (health) and how to bring this about in our lives and our diets. It is a wonderful book - very thorough on background, filled with testimonies from cancer survivors, outlining the different types of cancers, and detailing information on menus, cooking, healing tactics, etc."

Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic Treatment and Prevention (paperback)--Moss
Customer Review (rating=*****): "Dr. Moss has put together an excellent resource for people looking into non-toxic cancer treatments. Ralph was thrust into the alternative medicine scene when he brought positive laetrile studies to the public's attention in the1970s when people were saying there was no evidence of laetrile's efficacy. Since then he has been an important voice of reason in the fight for alternatives."

Customer Review (rating=*****): "Ethics or economy? That is the question. Give up your oncologist if you want to cure yourself of cancer. Make the choice! Either you undergo a treatment of drugs, radiation and surgery which is worse than the disease itself,(success rates are worse than doing NOTHING) or you undergo a comprehensive treatment that is 95% successful...In 100 years we have gone from 1 person in 8000 getting cancer to almost 1 in 2! Obviously the cause of this disease is the multiple change factors of our food supply, environment and lifestyle. This book will show you ALL of these! This is a top notch protocol from a brilliant scientist."

The Cure for All Cancers: Including over 100 Case Histories of Persons Cured (paperback)--Clark
Customer Review (rating=*****): "Nothing is ever guaranteed in this life. This program is not 100% successful for everyone... then again NEITHER IS ANYTHING YOUR DOCTOR WILL DO! This has got to be one of the cheapest, most thorough cancer treatment programs you will ever find. What if it would have worked but you did not give it a try!!? Is a life worth $25, some changes and some effort? Bless you, take the first step..."
