BUY THE BOOK IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES/ASTHMA/SINUSITIS
Couldn't breathe. Bought this book. Showed my doctor who changed all my medications. That was six months ago. TODAY? I BREATHE so well that I'm training for the NY marathon. It's hard for me to believe that getting the RIGHT medication can be crucial for allergy and asthma. But I'm a believer.
NO MORE ASTHMA
I live in Georgia and pollen season normally makes me dependent on my inhaler. I read BREATHE RIGHT NOW and started the new medication, Accolate, as described in the book. Now I take two pills (Accolate) a day, along with my Azmacort Inhaler, to PREVENT asthma. No more wheezing--no congestion--no flares. My doctor had not used this drug on patients and I was her first one. But now she is prescribing it to all patients with asthma. A true LIFESAVING BOOK that talks about prevention of problems and how to manage these so you can have a LIFE!!!!
AWESOME BOOK!!! I can breathe again.
Super book! Easy to understand. Chapters on allergy, asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis, and lung disease. Great information on medications and how they work--but understandable, not over the head of the reader. Also enjoyed the alternative medicine chapter and understanding how stress affects breathing. This book helped me get back in control with my chronic allergies. I've learned WHEN to take medication and how they will work to stop swelling and mucus production. AWESOME.

Well written source on new Cox-2 Inhibitors
Super Aspirin Cure for Arthritis is an excellent book for those who are considering the new Cox-2 inhibitors for arthritis pain. Tells all about the new drugs (Celebrex, Vioxx) and how they stop pain and stiffness--without side effects. Can be read in one sitting--also gives a course of treatment to end pain including alternative methods. Am recommending to my arthritis patients.
BUY IT! READ IT! FOLLOW IT FOR NO MORE ARTHRITIS PAIN!!
Excellent and well-written book on the new SUPER ASPIRINS that end arthritis pain and stiffness. Tells all you need to know about the makeup of the COX-2 Inhibitors and gives a workable program to end pain and regain strength for those with all types of arthritis. BUY IT! READ IT! FOLLOW IT! You will feel better quickly as SUPER ASPIRIN DOES cure arthritis pain.
Finally--a cure for my osteoarthritis pain!!!
In the past six months, I have been plagued with constant, nagging pain in the lower back and left hip. The pain even happened at night and interrupted my sleep, leaving me tired and unable to concentrate during the day. After an evaluation, my doctor said--arthritis. I tried Advil and while my pain eased, my stomach churned and I was left with constant burning and indigestion. Then the Super Asprins were released. My doctor gave me Celebrex to try. I was leary because I hate having stomach pain along with hip pain! But I tried it--and it was AMAZING. Within 24 hours and 2 Celebrex later--I was literally pain free. I could move with ease and bending over didn't hurt. I began to sleep soundly all night--without awakening because of pain. I saw Dr. McIlwain's book online and ordered it--and everything he says is true--Super Aspirins are the miracle cure for arthritis pain. The book is easy to read, easy to understand and filled with alternative methods of easing pain which I found to be very helpful. If you have arthritis--or any joint or muscle pain--you do NOT have to live with it. Get this book! Then try the Super Aspirins--you'll get your life back!!

Excellent, Informative & Entertaining
What a fun resource on alternative treatments! I never knew the "downside" of herbs or other alternative treatments. The author gives both the positive and negative--help or hype--about the most commonly touted holistic treatments. I always thought herbs were ALL safe--because they are natural. Not so--and the author has scientific studies to back it up. Good for her! Also like the helpful sidebars on all pages--little known tips about complementary methods of staying well. Super!
for all people interested in holistic healing
I really liked the easytoread format of this book. there are special facts on tips in the margins of each page that are really helpful. this book is very comprehensive and describes herbs and vitamins in very thorough ways.
The BEST Alternative Medicine book I've read--the truth
If you are thinking of using Alternative Medicine--herbs, Ayurvedic, Chiropractic, Chinese Medicine or mind/body therapies--you must know what they can REALLY DO--and the limitations of each. This book gives the TRUTH and HYPE. Totally changed the way I think about taking herbs--yes, some herbs can kill you; some herbs may enhance optimal health. KNOW the difference. This book will show you how to be discerning about what you put into your body. Superbly written--easy to understand--factual & helpful resource every family should have on their shelf.

Impotence can be conquered!
This book is easy to follow and can make a huge difference in your life - highly recommend it!
Changed our marriage!
This book is a MUST READ for any couple over age 35--it will change your life and your marriage! The information on what causes impotence is excellent. We honestly did not know "why" it was happening. Yet, we learned that job STRESS, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, and even over-the-counter medicines can effect male sexual performance--and we followed the book to make important lifestyle changes. Thank you for this book as it changed our marriage!!!
This book will change your life! It has the answers you need
My doctor never told me that my blood pressure medicine could cause impotence. In fact, when I asked about it--he said it wouldn't make any difference. Well--then I read this book!! I realized that this was hindering my sexual performance, called my doctor, and he changed medicines. In three days, I had no problems with impotence--just from changing blood pressure medications! I've learned that we are responsible for our own health--THIS BOOK will help you do just that. Buy it--it's very imformative and gives excellent "tips" throughout on how to overcome erectile dysfunction.

Super Calcium and Super Recipes
The Calcium counter is amazing,but the great recipes were a real bonus. I keep in my desk and it really helps when I prepare the weekly menus for my family. My girls are already leaning how to have strong bones from the beginning!
Great source for foods that keep bones strong
My mother and grandmother both have osteoporosis. When my doctor told me that family history plays a big role in who gets this disease, I decided to fight it all I could. This book--SUPER CALCIUM COUNTER--is amazing!!! The food lists are excellent and so helpful as I plan my family's weekly menu. The recipes are easy to understand--and trendy--even my kids love them. There is NO NEED to get osteoporosis--if you can understand the cause and prevention. BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Excellent source for the top bone-building foods & recipes
As a registered dietician, I'm always watching for nutrition books. So many are full of hype and misinformation--yet SUPER CALCIUM COUNTER is the first easy-to-read book I've seen that is filled with the top bone-boosting foods--and it is totally correct. The recipes are delicious--easy to make. Get the book--it will keep you strong your entire life!

Feeling Good Made Easy
I have found that this author has taken information and research to the next level. She has helped me understand ALL aspects of fitness plus a LOT about anti-aging and natural hormone balancing. She clearly understood the problems of HRT long before the public was given this information. It's easy to understand with many ways to motivate yourself. She actually teaches you how to become your own personal trainer, so I got rid of mine and saved a bundle. This is not a trendy book, but one that I have highlighted heavily for future reference. This is solid, well researched "information for life" and I already feel and look so much better. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Amazing weight loss and anti-aging guide
24 Hour Turnaround is 8 books in one! It covers every base of weight loss, fitness, aging, hormones, sleep, diet, motivation, meditation, yoga and more. Easy to read (but includes the research if you want to learn more). Provides easy to follow steps to start to change your life immediately. I have never been so motivated and able to stay on a program. Finally exercise makes sense! The author gives you an exercise perscription that makes exercise easy - not painful. The Definition Diet teaches us how to go and find food we like to eat instead of someone elses favorite food. Most importantly I learned how and why these changes will effect my life. I have lost 16 pounds and I feel great. My entire family is on the Turnaround!

Informative and inspirational
Had no idea when I ordered this book from Amazon that it would be both informative and inspirational. The background on a host of touch therapies enriched me; the real stories of healing, using hands-on touch enlightened me. A must read for anyone who wants to know more about alternative therapies and how to incorporate these in your lifestyle for health and healing.
Superb guide!!! True healing studies using TOUCH therapy
This guide is superb! I picked it up because I wanted to know more about massage and acupuncture for pain relief. I was so surprised as the guide not only gave me the history and factual information on MANY touch therapies, it also detailed many patient stories of healing using touch. It was uplifting!! So often alternative therapy books are negative in tone. But this book was magical--it empowered me to feel like a touch therapy could actually help my back pain and gave me the confidence to try one. A great read for any age and very fresh and genuine in tone. Especially helpful--the chapter on managed care and how to get your HMO to pay for the therapy.

A must read for all health-savvy Americans
Overkill serves up a blend of well-written commentary on the very operation of our medical system in a clear and concise manner, along with examples practical enough to apply to all of our lives. By virtue of assessments, readers can experience why levels of resistance continue to rise year after year, generation after generation. Seemingly innocuous chemicals designed to better your well-being often disarm potent antibacterial drugs from doing their prescribed job. It was only a few decades ago that penicillin was the panacea for Americans the nation over, but continued use has left many requiring higher and higher allotments -- subsequently leading to its virtual impotency. Before you down another pill or take a spoonful of medicine, pick-up a copy -- you'll be glad you did.
Great Book
This book is a wake up call! Thank you!

Informative but not objective?... it's an Infomercial
Not to pan the book entirely: it's an easy read and offers hope as well as some helpful information - but I have two issues.
First, there are innumerable references to products which provide profit for the "Medical Editor", Dr. Murray Grossan. I'm a user of one of his products, and I'd endorse it too - but not under the guise of an medical self-help book.
The second item that makes me wonder about the expertise of the author ("A long time sinus sufferer"). Opposite the title page are some of the other titles from the author - "The Super Aspirin Cure for Arthritis". "Super Calcium Counter...". "The Osteoporosis Cure". "The Fibromyagia Handbook". Can "The Tao of Ephedra" be far away?
The book is worth a read. But if you're deciding between it and other well-rated volumes - I'd look elsewhere.
I can breathe thanks to this book. The Sinus Cure
Thank you for this book. Finally, after years of mouth breathing because of constant congestion, I can breathe through my nose again (something most people take for granted). The book was extremely well written and easy to read. I'd recommend to anyone who has allergies, sinusitis, rhinitis or other respiratory problems. It gives you HOPE!!
Very credible. Well written. VERY HELPFUL with high pollen.
This is VERY IRONIC!!! I just heard the author Debra Bruce on the radio in Atlanta, Georgia this morning. A friend gave me her book three weeks ago and I read it--cover to cover. An interesting and easy read. This was BEFORE tree pollen season hit the South. I used the techniques suggested in the book--the nasal saline irrigation, avoiding iced drinks, avoiding key pollen times, and a nasal steroid spray. I changed my medication to a decongestant/antihistamine combo. For the FIRST time in my life--I have MY LIFE. It's super. I'm not a shut-in anymore. Thank you for a very credible book. A must read for ANYONE with sinusitis.
