Customer Reviews

WOW

I bought the book because I was dealing with a health problem. I did not know what to expect but was certainly pleasantly surprised. Just reading about how the authors struggled with a major illness and were able to overcome it was an inspiration. Half way through the book I stopped and ordered three additional books and had them sent to friends and relatives who are dealing with health problems. I can not imagine anyone who is facing health problems not being inspired by this book. If they are not inspired or encouraged, perhaps they are not discouraged enough to have an open mind. I truly believe that we do not have to know how something works in order to benefit from trying it. I believe that this books offers HOPE.

Opened My Mind

This book helped me to look at my illness in a new way. Although parts of the authors' story were a bit longwinded, I found it helpful to read about their process in detail. I could feel (and relate to) how consumed they were by trying to create a "safe" environment in the external world- and how this obsession did little to improve their health. I felt encouraged as they discovered new ways of relating to EI and how they were transformed by their intense inner work. I had never heard of "channeling" and I wasn't really into energy healing when I first read this book. I benefitted from its basic message nonetheless. I still refer back to it, especially Appendix IV which is a summary of the authors' observations on healing CFS/EI. As the authors note, not everyone has to do what they did to heal the illness, but if you have tried "everything" are stuck, this book could be helpful to you. If this book is too "woo-woo" for your taste (and even if it isn't), I recommend "Healing Environmental Illness from Within" by Marcia Murphy. It is the story of woman who wholeheartedly tried the more conventional treatments for EI, but failed to break through it until she included mind & spirit in her healing process.

Keep an Open Mind For Your Healing

While I do not have EI nor MCS, I suffered for nearly thirty years with severe asthma and allergies until being treated for them, and cured, yes cured (and I don't use that word lightly), by Robert and Patricia. After reading their book, I sought them out, and was treated by them in person. This book is an invitation for those who choose to take charge of their own illnesses, those who wish to open themselves to take a risk and explore alternative approaches. These are different times we're living in, with tough illnesses that require our whole selves to participate in healing. There is a growing network of pratitioners (usually chiropractors or acupuncturists) who practice NAET, part of the program that Robert and Patricia offer in their healing center. I urge you to open to new ways of becoming whole. There is very little to lose, much to gain at all levels of mind, body and spirit. This book has changed my daily life (no more hospitalizations since I've been healed by the authors. I'm so sorry that some other readers who have made comments here have dismissed the teachings in this book, and missed the chance for profound healing.
