Excellent - the allergy/sensitivity testing is on the money

This book led me to read the ingredients on my toothpaste. Everyday, twice a day, I was sabotaging my health by brushing my teeth. Although Toms of Main toothpaste is a really great toothpaste (my dentist noticed my cleaner teeth), it is made with Xylitol - which as explained in the ingredients list is derived from Birch. I read the label on my toothpaste after using the testing techniques and finding not only a weak muscle, but that my whole arm went weak (from just holding the tube of toothpaste). According to my allergist Birch is my worst allergy. I no longer feel like falling asleep during the day (at least in the mornings after I would brush my teeth) and at night I am sleeping better. I am working on the Candida and other allergy issues now. Some of the directions get a little confusing but even his basic exercises are very helpful.
A Great Guide For Getting Well
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In the course of my more than 13 years of battling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I have read literally hundreds of "health books". I have come to judge these books on whether or not they contain useful, practical information, and if applying the information results in a significant improvement to my health. After reading this book and following the principles it explains, I went from spending days to weeks at a time barely able to get out of bed, to working fulltime and resuming a normal lifestyle. This is one of the very few books I have ever read that effectively addresses the usual collection of otherwise "incurable" chronic illnesses, which have become so widespread. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who is seriously interested in overcoming one of these chronic illnesses. Wishing you the best of health!
The most complete book on ecological illnesses.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I suggest that all readers with ecological illness buy the 4th edition. Prof. Rochlitz is a genius in the way he explains ecological illness and why so many people don't get completely well from either orthodox or wholistic medicine. He makes many suggestions throughout the book of things you can do to get well on your own, though he does caution that it is important to get to the root of the problem and not treat the symptoms. I know his ideas /techniques saved my family thousands of dollars in doctor bills and educated me about many bogus protocols that were only complicating my health. As a teacher, I would also suggest this book for any parent or teacher who has children with learning problems. Prof. Rochlitz is a world leader on Brain Integration techniques. His suggestions should be standard in every regular and special education classroom. The writer of the previous review obviously didn't read the same book I read or she couldn't quite grasp the ideas articulated. Actually she reviewed an older edition. Her advice doesn't make sense and is entirely out of context. The book isn't a recruiting tool to visit Prof. Rochlitz. Her mention of antifungals and parasites clearly demonstrates her ingorance of the topic. Furthermore her list of other books suggest some of the last things seriously ill people need. I suggest readers who want more information read some of Prof. Rochlitz' recent articles in the medical journal Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients or visit his website wellatlast.com.
Best holistic book ever on allergies or candida.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A unique masterpiece on what causes allergies and candida-yeast syndrome. The parasite section revealed that often the amoeba or giardia occur first and weaken us allowing overgrowth of candida. It states that allergies result from the body being to permeable. Permeability of the intestines comes from parasites or candida and results in food allergies. Viruses, said to be secondary from parasites result in chemical and electromagnetic allergies. But this book also has rapid applied kinesiology, self-help techniques to return energy and health to the sufferer. I've never before seen a book telling the reader to stop reading and do the rapid kinesiology energy balancing techniues. Most are easy to perform like the brain and heart integration exercises and the destressing techniques. Some can even overcome dizziness and poor balance. But the author cautions that the reader must kill his candida or parasites with the herbal and diet recommendations for the energy balancing to last. It does offer new diet and supplement recomendations. If you want to find out at last what is causing your chronic ills and what to do to finally get rid of them, this is the book. I can't say enough how much healthier I am after following the protocol. A wonderful and complete reference for sufferers of food, chemical and electromagnetic allergies; candidiasis; parasitosis; chronic fatigue; fibromyalgia.
