An excellent, encouraging book that supports self-care
Just got finished reading the 1989 reprint of the original, first published in 1985. I'm very encouraged by the organized approach the author uses to explain that M.S. is not a "disease" so much as it is a reaction to the recent changes humans have made in the way we eat and live.

The text also mentions hypoglycemia, arthritis, diabetes, and other disorders, and those who suffer from these might also benefit from this book, IMHO.

I've got several friends with M.S.; I'm planning to send or refer this book to them.

Back to Basics from a Doctor who uses Common Sense
Doctor Vogel's Book "The Nature Doctor" is full of down to earth common sense guides to healty living. Being a beleiver of the natural medicating stregnth of the human body and the need for less harmful remidies myself, I am heartened to see such an informative and realistic book.

Dr. Vogel writes with such zest and knowledge that it is hard to put the book down. The book is not designed to be a quick fix, more a change in the way you live and eat. The content ranges from body to mind and in between. There is much to offer the patient that has tried all the other Allapathic methods of medicine and found no real relief. Being written in plain english it is easy to follow and understand.

Even though the book is somewhat concise (678 pages) it gets right to the point and tells you "like it is". A great number of alements and appropriate remidies are discussed. You will find the sections on specific organs in the body most interesting and informative. An inside look at the natural rythms of the body help you understand why we need to live and eat in such a healty way. There are so many whole foods that we can use to aid the healing process, the mind can scarsely take them all in at once. A large number of sections on medicinal plants, Homeopathic remidies, Fruits, Vegetables, nuts and some insight into Bach Flowers. Interestingly Dr. Vogel talks alot about the mind and basic nutrition and delves into a few basic diets with some very tasty soups and recipies for healty living.

The Book is written with a deffinite sense that the Author is extremely knowledgeable in his chosen field and this inspires a sense of trust and comfort that you are not reading a book based on a Fad !

I was refered to this book by my Uncle who had 3 ateries blocked 70% and he cured them by following suggestions in this book without one doctor lifting a scalple - if that isn't one reason to read this book I don't know what is.

An excellent review of the state of the art in stunt kites.
This book contains a thorough review of all aspects of stunt kite flying, including construction, materials, theory, flying and application. Absolutely authoratative although it is "of its time". Comprehensive plans included for many different types of stunt kite.

Excellent second book
This book is a great sequel to "Stunt Kites". It includes detailed plans for a variety of intermediate to advanced stunt and power kites as well as a good beginner's stunt kite, the "Zipp" and an aerial sculpture, the "Pirana" (see cover photo). It also contains building instructions, plans, and instructions on use of two kite buggies (3wheel and 4 wheel). I wholeheartedly recommend this book to stunt kitebuilders and power kite enthusiasts.

On the fringe
Don't be fooled by the title - this book is poorly written and full of unproven techniques. If you want to treat your migraine, go for something with a more solid basis.

Excellent Pain relief!
I found this book very informative and helpful. It explained the dynamics of migraine, the different types that had been overlooked and how to help yourself. I was able to follow most of the instructions with no trouble and see results - no charlatan here, Jan de Vries obviously knows what he is talking about. Thoroughly good read and his recommendations are simple and straightforward.
