Great book for Chocolate Lovers! by Debra
I was so excited to be able to get this book. I love her blog. So let me tell you about this book. I loved it. I can't wait to get my order of raw cacao powder and nibs so I can try some of these recipes. I am thinking I will be trying some with raw carob powder- just to get me by until my order gets here.

The book has 5 chapters. The first chapter is titled Raw Basics. It covers as it says the basics but also a list of equipment needed (or enjoyed as a raw foodie), ingredient descriptions, basic recipes for nut/seed milks and raw condiments. My favorite part of this chapter is her tips. I learned a lot. My favorite tip is for doubling recipes. I double, sometimes quadruple a recipe for my large family so this was good info.

The second chapter covers Raw Chocolate. You get a brief history of chocolate and learn why it is good for you. She also covers the different raw chocolate products available and other special ingredients. Chapter three covers chocolate drinks. I can't wait to try the Creamy chocolate vanilla milk , and the Chocolate holiday spice nog.

In chapter four she covers snacks, soup, salad dressing, crackers and breakfasts. A lot of great recipes to choose from. Several popped off the page at me: Chocolate powered oatmeal, Power packed trail mix, Chocolate chia crackers, Mesquite spiced chocolate brazil nut crumble and Chia chocolate pudding snack to name a few..

In the final chapter she covers desserts. Yum! How about Goddess cream cake , Chocolate pumpkin pie, Pure rush chocolate and Fun chocolate banana plant leather. It is hard to choose just one recipe that I can't wait to try.

I learned a lot about raw chocolate. Like how it is loaded with antioxidants. I also learned that pure chocolate has heart health benefits. "The flavonoids (organic compounds) found in cacao can help prevent clogged arteries and lower blood pressure." If you love chocolate like we do and are looking for healthy vegan recipes this book will deliver! Yes it is a raw book but I believe that even if you are not a raw foodie you can benefit from getting more raw food into your diet. Besides doesn't it make you feel less guilty eating chocolate when you know it is good for you? You will not be disappointed with this book.

Guilt-Free Chocolate! by H. R. Burton
I've really enjoy all the books I've gotten from Kristen, and this one is no exception! I love the fact that I can enjoy raw desserts and chocolate and not feel guilty! Instead I feel happy about the nutritious and delicious treats. As usual, Kristen comes up with great and unusual flavor combinations - i.e. pumpkin and chocolate. Chocolate Pumpkin Pie was the first recipe I tried and it was fabulous! The Chia Chocolate Pudding Snack is one of my new favorites, too. I really like that this book isn't all desserts, but there's smoothies, milks, snacks, crackers, breakfast goodies, and more. Who knew chocolate was so versatile?! I love the recipes in this book and definitely recommend it for anyone who loves chocolate!

Must-have for healthy chocolate-eaters by A. Bittinger
This book is amazing! I love reading Kristen's raw blog and had to order this. She has a lot of unique recipes that I haven't seen anywhere else, like chocolate chia crackers or mango brownies. There are even savory recipes with chocolate in them. This woman loves her chocolate! The recipes are easy to follow and have lots of tips about food prep. Raw food is fun to make and easy when you have great books like this.

Kristen has done it again! by Tushaun
Kristen Suzanne and chocolate are truly a winning combination. Kristen brings her usual creativity to her newest book...all about the wonderful world of raw chocolate. There are many recipe books that feature raw chocolate as a dessert or smoothie ingredient, and there are a number of delicious dessert and beverage recipes in this book as well. However, Kristen takes chocolate to another level with wonderful recipes for chocolate crackers, soup, and salad dressing...all raw, all vegan, all healthy.

In the southwest, chocolate is a part of the culture. The chocolate consumed here is not milk chocolate, or chocolate-covered marshmallows, but dark, rich, almost bitter chocolate...often combined with cinnamon and chiles. I was delighted to find that Kristen includes recipes with just those ingredients...the best way to enjoy chocolate, in my opinion.

I can't wait to see what Kristen comes up with next.

By best-selling author of Superfoods and Eating for Beauty.

Lose weight, boost your immunity, cleanse your blood and organs, and live longer and happier with this comprehensive five-part approach created by leading nutrition and raw food authority David Wolfe.

In Longevity Now, Wolfe exposes the number-one cause of all degenerative illness and aging: calcification. Caused by an excess of calcium and the presence of nanobacteria, calcification can be found in some degree in virtually every adult and even some children. It leads to a plethora of illnesses and manifests as achy joints, hardened arteries, cellulite, cysts, kidney stones, gallstones, dental plaque, cataracts, and bone spurs, among many other health problems. By breaking down calcification and removing parasites, heavy metals, and other "unwanted guests" from your system, you can reverse the aging process and eliminate the prospect of degenerative disease from your future.

Part 1 of the Longevity Now Program focuses on supplements to dissolve the buildup of calcium in your system, leading to freer movement, a clearer head, and a lighter step. Part 2 focuses on boosting your immunity, using a variety of supplements to make your body as resilient as possible. Part 3 focuses on rejuvenating each and every cell of your body with nutrient-packed supplements and superfoods. Part 4 focuses on using special electromagnetic grounding technologies to eliminate parasites and reconnect you with the rhythmic cycles of Earth's energy field. Part 5 focuses on deep-tissue bodywork and yoga, so that you can move blocked energy around and break up stagnation in typically unaccessed parts of the body.

In addition to all this, Wolfe offers abundant additional information to help you more fully live the Longevity Now lifestyle, such as foods to avoid, healthful alternative sweeteners, delicious recipes, and more tips and tricks to keep you on the path of rejuvenation, radiant health, and full-throttle vitality.

Clear and Sincere, by Sam Buck
I've been following David steady for a while now and this is a great collection of everything he's been sharing with the world for so long. Calibrating at 576 this book is full of truth valuable to most people. With terms I've never heard before like "super-drug sugars" and considerate structuring of explanation for the vegan audience I really enjoyed learning a tremendous amount from this book. David doesn't shy away from what will undoubtedly make many people re-evaluate long held attachments derived from misleading mass information. As someone who has jumped into a lot of David's recommendations, buying supplements and superfoods, this book helps detail a lot of things I didn't understand fully enough. Immediately I find myself more aware of how to effectively use these products and plants he recommends in the future. Thank you David for not only a great book but a great stepping stone for us following in your footsteps. There are well over 22 books cited for us to explore further if we are struck to do so. I'm excited to read Longevity Now at least a couple more times to continue to build a better understanding of the good words within.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, by just seeking
I love and appreciate everything this man is. This book is just like him.......full of knowledgeable, clear and usable information for the benefit of one's health.

Finally a logical approach to living healthy longer. He uses common sense and tangible daily goals to improve hormone balance.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAS SEEN ON NATIONAL PUBLIC TELEVISION We've been led to believe that when we get sick, it's our genetics. Or it's just bad luck--and doctors alone hold the keys to optimal health. Therefore when Dr. Lissa Rankin's own health started to suffer, she turned to Western medical treatments, but what she found was that they not only failed to help; they made her worse. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. Through her research, Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body's innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of the mind. To better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. Using extraordinary cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body's physiology. She lays out the scientific data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body's self-healing processes. In this book, you'll find a radical new wellness model based on Dr. Rankin's scientific findings. Her unique six-step program will help you uncover where things might be out of whack in your life--spiritually, creatively, environmentally, nutritionally, and in your professional and personal relationships--so that you can create a customized treatment plan aimed at bolstering these health-promoting pieces of your life. You'll learn how to listen to your body's whispers before they turn to life-threatening screams that can be prevented with proper self-care, and you'll learn how to trust your inner guidance when making decisions about your health and your life. By the time you finish Mind Over Medicine, you'll have made your own Diagnosis, written your own Prescription, and created a clear action plan designed to help you make your body ripe for miracles.

What a pleasure it is to see the next generation of physicians waking up to what I call real medicine - the kind that acknowledges our true power to heal and be well.

WOW! Just wow! That is how I feel about Lissa Rankin's work! Everything she says rings so true to me, and her voice, as a professional medical doctor, is just what is needed in today's drug dependent society. Bravo, Lissa for having the courage to speak out and share your truth. This world needs more like you!

Customer Reviews

This book is a game changer for your health by Ken Jaques
My thoughts are that the material in this book truly leads us to shift our thinking about how we look at our health and illness, and REMEMBER the body's innate ability to help heal itself. It contains a wealth of information, as well as practical approaches for you to develop your own personal approach to your health and happiness. I would go so far as to suggest that this book should form part of a curriculum for students from early ages where subconscious beliefs and programming are first formed, right through to medical school. Anyone diagnosed with a health condition, anyone "worried" that they might be predisposed to a condition, or anyone simply looking to maintain their existing good health can benefit from reading this book.

Meditations on Medication by Terry MacDonald
It's never too late to change your perspective on what health and wellness means. If you read this book today, get ready for some incredible revelations. The information Dr. Rankins presents may not all be new news, but its powerfully expressed and the time is right. People, like myself and most likely anyone reading this, are searching for answers on how to live healthy and simply. The answer of course is that we have everything we need inside us it just takes an eloquent author to tell us that! A book that has helped me realize the power of self-expression to self-heal is Art and Healing by Barbara Ganim.

What makes Mind Over Medicine so different from the other books is that she provides information that is grounded in scientific study from mainstream medical journals in accessible language. She challenges the Western medicine culture without disparaging it. Instead, she advocates the power of positive thinking, proactive self-care, and seeing wellness with an open mind. I wish there was an index, but she organizes her case well into three sections:
1) Evidence of mind-body connection
2) Areas in the body where the mind can create healing, which includes the real physiology/mechanics of what goes on in the body
3) Methods to change your belief systems and habits to a personal health prescription

Wholesome and invigorating juices are the ultimate all-in-one health drink. Drinking one or two glasses of fruit or vegetable juice a day will give you all the vitamins and mineral you need -- the easy way!

Great book. Have used it everyday since I got it both hubby and I. Would recommend to any one to buy.

Mycelium Running is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. That’s right: growing more mushrooms may be the best thing we can do to save the environment, and in this groundbreaking text from mushroom expert Paul Stamets, you’ll find out how.

The basic science goes like this: Microscopic cells called “mycelium”--the fruit of which are mushrooms--recycle carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements as they break down plant and animal debris in the creation of rich new soil. What Stamets has discovered is that we can capitalize on mycelium’s digestive power and target it to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants (mycoremediation), catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds (mycofiltration), control insect populations (mycopesticides), and generally enhance the health of our forests and gardens (mycoforestry and myco-gardening). 

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll find chapters detailing each of these four exciting branches of what Stamets has coined “mycorestoration,” as well as chapters on the medicinal and nutritional properties of mushrooms, inoculation methods, log and stump culture, and species selection for various environmental purposes. Heavily referenced and beautifully illustrated, this book is destined to be a classic reference for bemushroomed generations to come.

Reviews

As a physician and practitioner of integrative medicine, I find this book exciting and optimistic because it suggests new, nonharmful possibilities for solving serious problems that affect our health and the health of our environment. Paul Stamets has come up with those possibilities by observing an area of the natural world most of us have ignored. He has directed his attention to mushrooms and mycelium and has used his unique intelligence and intuition to make discoveries of great practical import. I think you will find it hard not to share the enthusiasm and passion he brings to these pages.
--From the foreword by Andrew Weil, MD, author of Eating Well for Optimum Health

“Stamets is a visionary emissary from the fungus kingdom to our world, and the message he’s brought back in this book, about the possibilities fungi hold for healing the environment, will fill you with wonder and hope.“
 --Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire
 
“This is the kind of book I love: highly factual and practical and mixed with the spiritual content that sets the great writers apart from all the rest.“
--John Norris, former deputy commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and founder of the Bioterrorism Institute
 
“This is the first book to give the Kingdom of the Fungi its proper place in the scheme of things. It is the most important book on nature that I’ve seen in years.”
--Gary Lincoff, author of National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms
 
“A paradigm-changing book. Stamets’s visionary insights are leading to a whole new understanding of how mushrooms, scarcely seen and rarely appreciated, regulate the earth’s ecosystems.“
--John Todd, founder and president of Ocean Arks International
 
“This visionary and practical book should be an instant classic in the emerging science of how to use nature’s wisdom and fecundity to rescue the earth and ourselves from the unwelcome consequences of human cleverness.“
--Amory B. Lovins, chief executive officer of Rocky Mountain Institute
 
“This gospel of fungi contains crucial pragmatic solutions showing us how to work with nature in order to heal nature.”
--Kenny Ausubel, founder and co-executive director of Bioneers
 
“In his respectful and casual way, Paul brings depth and clarity to the complexity of fungi and its place in the natural order, all the while engaging us in fungi knowledge for healing our planet.”
--Guujaaw, president of the Haida Council, Haida Nation
 
“Stamets’s best work to date, Mycelium Running provides a wealth of information showing how fungal mycelia and mushrooms can profoundly improve the quality of human life. Should be mandatory reading for government policy makers.”

Super Valuable Information
By Jeff Gee

Last summer I attended one of Paul's seminars at Fungi Perfecti. Living near by it was easy to attend however I had absolutely no knowledge of mushrooms other than eating Portobellos et al., and reading a little about the possibility of plugging stumps and logs. In fact, at the seminar I felt a bit out of place amongst all of the others who had particular goals and agendas for being there. I figured a bit of education could help me understand this whole mushroom thing. When I left I was completely blown away by all of the possibilities that mycelium offer and by Fungi Perfecti's excellent presentation of this data. Most all of what Paul and his staff taught in this seminar is in this book.

This fascinating book is a treasure trove of effective low tech methods for 'running mycelium'. Paul describes everything from gardening techniques to soil restoration to health care application using typical gourmet mushrooms (oh what Oyster mushrooms can do) and many other species. As a scientist, he backs his data with reputable references. He also uses language that may be challenging to those not educated in the biological/medical sciences. However, not unlike Dr. Andrew Weil's publications, it is nearly impossible to simplify this type of information without giving all audiences from foresters to backyard gardeners to medical practitioners enough information to help everyone understand how powerful this natural filter in soil is regardless of their educational background.

Mycelium Running has very high quality color photos, detailed 'how tos' anyone can follow and specifics describing the chemistry of this powerful ally in its myriad of uses. This is a wonderful text that hopefully will assist us in restoring our battered environment and ailing health one backyard and human body at a time. For what it is worth, this is perhaps the most important and interesting book I have purchased in years. Now I have piles of card board stacked around my property successfully running all kinds of mycelium from spent mushroom kits. I expect to further the `running' using the techniques from this book to build more productive gardens and help keep Rue Creek running clean.

Because of Fungi Perfecti and Mycelium Running's superb information, I have truly become 'beshroomed'. I now go out of my way to educate friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers alike of the beneficial effects of growing better gardens, managing yard waste (instead of burning), mitigating damage by clear cut logging, cleaning up polluted soil and water ways, removing termites and ants (cannot wait to get an off the shelf solution for this!), alternative/supplemental solutions for treating disease/cancer and every day use for maintaining good health. All of this is painstakingly described in this book; simply amazing.

Paul and his staff are the type of people who do wonderful things for humanity. So wonderful, it makes me want to start a new career and open a natural healing center. Because of Mycelium Running, it would seem there is high probability of significant grassroots restoration of earth and human body. Do yourself a huge favor and spend the money to get this book; it is worth its weight in gold. Next thing you'll find is that you'll be running mycelium in some way, shape or form. It is that easy. Kudos to Paul, Dusty and FP staff for your dedication and hard work!

Inspiring!
By Bruce Parfitt

One of my students recommended this book and I had no idea what I was getting into. A book on fungi that I can't tear myself away from? Yes, it's true. Stamets has made mushrooms his life's work. He knows them like no one else. He presents information based on real science, yet he writes in an easy-to-follow conversational tone. And anyone with a bit of patience can grow fungi using the methods Stamets describes. The things he and his colleagues are doing with mushrooms and tree fungi will astound you. A common mushroom that eliminates diesel fuel from contaminated soil! A tree fungus that out-competes (controls)American Chestnut blight! Erosion control, sewage treatment, enhancing forest health and human health... the list is long and truly inspiring. I am eager for warmer weather so I can get outside and start my own experiments with fungi. And perhaps best of all is the fact that most of these incredibly useful organisms are also edible gourmet delights! This is my first book by Paul Stamets. I am now ready to buy his earlier works (as well as a good field guide to mushrooms and other fungi).

The most comprehensive mushroom/fungi book out there
By Michael Afentoulis

Paul Stamets truly knows the material and has some great insights into the world of growing mushrooms. He succinctly describes how the science of the relatively unknown 5th kingdom (fungi) can be applied to mycoremediation to help unpollute the planet. Even though this sounds like a heavy subject, the material is understandable for people with little scientific or fungal knowledge and helps anybody understand hwo they too can get closer to mushrooms.

Throughout the world -- in China, Japan, Cuba, Canada, Russia, and most of Europe -- healing therapies using oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide have been common for treating a wide array of diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and arthritis. Yet in the United States, where the mainstream medical community is dependent upon funding from the pharmaceutical industry for research and physician training, these highly efficacious and relatively inexpensive therapies have been largely ignored. Dr. Pavel Yutsis, Medical Director of the CAM Institute for Integrative Therapies, has been using these biooxidative techniques for more than twenty years, from the beginning of his career in his native Russia. In Oxygen to the Rescue, Dr. Yutsis explains the difference between oxygenation and oxidation. He describes the four main types of oxygen therapy: -- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) -- Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy -- Ozone Therapy -- Photoluminescence -- or ultraviolet radiation of blood (UVIB), and discusses conventional uses versus experimental/controversial uses for each, as well as the means of administering these therapies.For example, HBOT is typically used by mainstream medicine to promote healing of burns and skin grafts, as well as to treat carbon dioxide poisoning and smoke inhalation. Hydrogen peroxide delivers oxygen to the blood and makes it possible for the body to use oxygen more effectively. It regulates sugar, enhances immune system function, and helps cells produce energy. Oxygen to the Rescue provides both the findings of scientific research and anecdotal evidence demonstrating that these underused therapies deserve to be acknowledged among frontline medicine in the UnitedStates.

GREAT BOOK, by L. Garcia -
My friend gave this book back in 20011. After reading this book and ordered 35% H2o2 from Amazon from a company name THE ONE MINUTE MIRACLE. The product is amazing how it works and it's amazing the thing it cures. Since I been using this product I feel great.

You need to make sure you only buy this product from a real company and not from people trying to sell not the real stuff. I suggest everyone to buy this book and to order from the company I mentioned above. They really have a great product and also a super good customer service.

Thank you to both Oxygen To The Rescue and to The One Minute Miracle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oxygen To the Rescue, by Michael Monji "Tree Whisperer" (Bakersfield, CA)
Oxygen is the key to life, and without enough of it in your body you will get sick. In order to stay healthy your saliva pH has to be
7.2-7.4 on a daily basis. This was confirmed in 1931 when Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel in Medicine for the discovery for the cause of cancer.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book because it's a very important topic, by pedrilo
I recommend this book because it's a very important topic, Paul Harch's book covers more ground, though both books are highly recommended.

Hbot and ketogenic combined is probably the most powerful protocol for anyone struggling with dis-ease,

Amazing Results So Far, by CurrencyChick
I had such a profound experience after listening to a process Michelle did on a call that I decided to buy the book. I have done many clearing statements, but this addressed so many different aspects of an issue that I wanted to try it. The book gives you the ENTIRE process, I don't know many teachers that are willing to offer this. I had a list of possible blocks to success that she talked about on her call and I wrote them down. This week I have been doing 2 per day. The results are that my productivity has increased 1000 fold. I feel excited again, my creativity is through the roof, and I have been able to take action on these ideas. Before I would get the idea and then had a hard time moving forward, I would be stuck and this created a viscous cycle of self sabotage. I feel the cycle is being broken. I have been working on this for years, and I am so grateful to be moving onward and upward!

Absolutely brilliant, by Lee Heather
I have brought literally dozens of books from amazon over the years but have never gotten around to writing a review - however this time I decided that this book would be an exception. It's quite brilliant. I am a professional counselor and am always looking at different methods of personal development and have come across a lot during my years of counselling. This process is simple and powerful. I have used it on myself a dozen or so times since buying the book and it worked wonderfully well. I would say that it is better for people who have some basic spiritual knowledge to begin with or it may seem too 'new age' for the masses but never the less it works so well and I have recommended it to my spiritually inclined friends. Easily five stars. Hard to fault. Using this technique you could easily change major aspects of your life in a fairly short time. If I could ask for any improvements in the book it would be to include a little more information about changing beliefs around finance and money but this is being somewhat pedantic. Great book.

The most amazing books I have read!!! 10 stars, by Phoenix (Great State Of Maine)
I bought this for my IPad, read thru the book and proceeded to do the exercises with absolutely amazing results! The concepts in the book are explained in a way that I understood why I needed to do them. So often we are told to do something "this way" without explaining why and often the results are minimal or we go on with more questions that before. I will reread again and again and continue to do the exercises until I need to do them no more. I am totally impressed with this book and can't wait for more from this author!

Get this book if you want to break free of patterns that keep repeating, by Laura Steward
I had the pleasure of working with the author 1-1 and then read her book. It is rare to read a book that actually gives you all the steps you need to do the work the author guides you through when you work directly with her. Manning-Kogler stands out in the crowd with this book for her gift to all those who cannot, for whatever reason, afford or have the time to work with her directly.

If you cannot understand why you are unable to move forward in a specific area of your life, this book shows you it may be something that requires more than just willpower. The author takes you step by step through an easy to implement process that will release you from whatever may be stopping you. I have always thought that all it took was setting your mind to something and you can move forward. Working with Michelle directly and then via her book showed me that it really doesn't have to be as hard as we often make it and that sometimes there is more to what is stopping us than willpower alone can overcome.

Using her Quantum Soul Clearing process has enabled me to have more peace, more abundance and opened more possibility in my life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling or anyone who just wants a life filled with more abundance and ease.

"Quantum-Touch 2.0--The New Human" endeavors to significantly enlarge the possibilities of what humans can be and do. In clear, step-by-step instructions, the reader will learn to easily demonstrate that human limits are as yet unknown. Readers can learn to do healing on multiple people at once to reduce their pain in minutes, work on multiple conditions at once, help people shift their own beliefs with the use of energy, and work across time and space. Readers will even learn to safely and visibly adjust the posture of multiple people simultaneously without touching. Science assumes that we are separate, and that our thoughts don't affect the outer reality. This notion is something that each of us can now clearly demonstrate to be untrue. The originator of the Quantum-Touch energy healing method and a popular workshop leader and speaker at conferences and holistic health institutes, Richard Gordon has been developing and refining Quantum-Touch since the publication of his best-selling "Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal." Gordon shares his discoveries in this new book, which takes Quantum-Touch to a far more powerful level. To enrich the book with scientific insights and commentary, Gordon sought out coauthors Vickie Wickhorst, PhD, and Chris Duffield, PhD. As academics investigating the convergence of science, technology, and the power of the human energy field, Wickhorst and Duffield serve as perfect guides to help readers, even skeptical ones, uncover their own process of discovery. This book is a must for all world travelers!

Am I prejudiced? by Cris on
You may consider me prejudiced because I'm a Quantum-Touch Level I instructor. But I'm not prejudiced and I'll tell you why I'm not. I'm an instructor because doing the simple and powerful techniques has so far helped me to eliminate 5 of the 7 medications that I was on. (I'm on half-doses of the last 2 and intend to eliminate them as well while under my doctor's care.) I'm an instructor because this stuff works and I want everyone to know about it. I'm an accountant in my day job and I teach QT LI workshops in my "spare time" because I want everyone to know that they can feel better, too.

I took this workshop in 2011 with Richard Gordon and was further blown away with Quantum-Touch Level II. Again, the techniques are still so simple that anyone can learn and so powerful that everyone can be successful. I'll say it too, "Wow, wow, wow!" Get the book, practice the exercises, and prepare to be astounded at what's possible.

One of the BEST books to read and keep EVER!! by Anna
I would give this book 50 stars instead of 5 if I could! :)

If you are interested in improving your health (physical, mental, emotional), changing your life to make it more exciting and full, discovering your amazing hidden abilities that we ALL have, this book is for YOU! This book might be the best investment you will ever make in your life!

I've been studying and working with subtle energies for over 20 years, but the first Richard's book "Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal" and this one "QT2" for me are by FAR the most powerful in terms of getting miraculous results! Richard's techniques are so simple to learn and yet so powerful!!!

Here is what separates QT books from others on energy healing subject:
1) You don't have to have any special abilities! NONE!
2) You don't need to be even slightly familiar with energy or alternative healing AT ALL!
3) You don't have to believe in "all this weird stuff" WHAT SO EVER! If you are a skeptic, it's even better!
4) You can and SHOULD prove to YOURSELF that this works! And you can start getting results very quickly. All you need to do is to read the book and follow the instructions! Yes, this is very easy and simple, but the results can and SHOULD blow you away!
5) It is very easy and fun to read and very enjoyable to follow the instructions! And it WORKS!

This is THE BEST "HOW TO" book on energy healing and empowering yourself with knowledge and tools for living much healthier, more exciting, and richer life.

I also highly recommend to read his first book "Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal" where you can get better understanding of the "basics." The techniques in the first book are incredibly powerful! But don't be fooled by the word "basics." You will learn and discover a LOT in that book! And it WORKS!:) Enjoy!!

Wow by Kindle Customer
This book is utterly amazing. I have studied the concept of energy healing for about fifteen years or so. I have read many books on the subject. I have been going thru a very crucial period in my own life for the last 13 months so I was really ready for this book and what it offers. I have used it for a little more than one day and already had some really fascinating results. I can barely put it down. I am sure I will continue to reread and explore. Thank you Richard.

UPDATE: After using this with some pretty good success for awhile now, I have an opinion as to what may possibly be happening. The energy of the heart is a NOW moment. The pain, blockage, stiffness, etc. is stored in the body with a link to a past/future moment. If the body is really made of the NOW moment love energy, then linking a place where there is a confused signal back to its pure connection is like a reset. Much like rebooting a computer to refresh its function, re-establishing the harmony is like reminding a sore spot, "hey, you are not the painful confusion, but rather, you are this pure power...simple, yet profound, when one allows it.

I understand the idea of running energy, but when applying it to myself, I kept tripping over the actions. To me, if we really are at our core this magical energy, then what am I doing the "sending part" for. However obscure, isn't the heart energy already there at the intended spot? So instead, when working with myself, I get as centered in the heart energy as I can and use the idea of a color, whatever surfaces at the moment, then I turn my focus to the intention and the place I perceive as blocked, etc. In observation, the sheer hint of color will appear there to as I send my love. It works for me.

Discover the nine keys that can unlock your pathway to dramatic healing.Kelly Turner, Ph.D., a researcher and psychotherapist who specializes in integrative oncology, gives the reader the results of her research on over a thousand cases of Radical Remission--people who have defied a serious or even terminal cancer diagnosis with a complete reversal of the disease. The results of this study, which focused on seventy-five factors, include astounding insights of the nine key factors that Dr. Turner found among nearly every Radical Remission survivor she has studied and an explanation of how the reader can put these practices to work in his or her own life.Every chapter of Radical Remission includes dramatic stories of survivors' journeys back to wellness. The realization that the possibilities for healing are more abundant than we had previously known gives people concrete ways to defy the overwhelming prognosis of terminal cancer. This is a book for those who are in the midst of receiving conventional cancer treatment, who are looking for other options because that treatment has done all that it can, or who seemingly have no options left but still feel that the future holds the possibility of hope.Kelly Turner's Radical Remission shows that it is possible to triumph over cancer, even in situations that seem hopeless. Encompassing diet, stress, emotions, spirituality, and other factors that profoundly affect our health and well-being, Turner's discussion of how our choices can cause the seemingly miraculous to happen will open your eyes to what is possible when it comes to lasting healing.

An important book for all cancer patients. Radical Remission is filled with hope, science and possibilities. (Kris Carr, New York Times bestselling author)

Never before has anyone with Dr. Turner’s credentials dared to research the million dollar question: why do some patients get better from seemingly “incurable” illnesses? Dr. Turner has uncovered the holy grail those who want to optimize their chances for cure have been seeking. Bravo, Dr. Turner! (Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine & host of the National Public Television special Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine)

A very important book and a very important mission
By Kelley Eidem

As the author of the book "The Doctor Who Cures Cancer," I believe "Radical Remissions is a big step forward towards creating critical mass. Turner points out in her book that not one doctor she asked who had personally witnessed a Radical Remission had tried to publish the case as a classic case study. She also points out that there are over 1,000 reports of "spontaneous remissions" that have been reported in the medical literature, but that they weren't being pursued by researchers as to the commonalities among them. Turner has done that!

She asked the right questions, "Why did each of these people experience a spontaneous remission? What it spontaneous or was it something they did?" She found out that their remissions were due to something they did.

Turner also highlights how it is by focusing on the anomalies that new discoveries are made. Whether it be Dr. Revici's discoveries, the discovery of penicillin, etc, it is almost always in the exceptional case where the discovery is made. The book then goes forth to expand on the 9 biggest commonalities that she uncovered so that cancer patients can try them for themselves.

Turner continues to collect more cases to help verify her findings. In her book, she calls her findings a hypothesis. She wants to see more attention devoted to her data to confirm and expand her findings. We can be sure that the cancer industry will close ranks and not follow through on Turner's goal just as they have for the past 100 years. But the book and her continued mission is a GIGANTIC step towards greater awareness about the real ways to cure cancer.

Finally a book which uses research which supports non-medical invasive cures
By Christopher Steele

As someone who is always interested in alternative remedies outside of medicine, I purchased this book in hopes to learn more about the subject. The book was so much more than I expected in that not only was it well researched, but was written in such a way that it did not feel like an academic reading. Highly recommend.

A Chocolate Work of Art! by M. Falso (Los Angeles, California)
This book is beautifully written, photographed and inspiring. It's edgy and modern, with sophistication and flair. There are so many creative recipes and wonderful gourmet flavor combinations. I really appreciate the stunning photography and modern flavorings of these chocolate confections. I'm also glad that there are other chocolate-inspired recipes that are beyond the bonbons, bars, buttercups and truffles (for instance, fudges, marzipan, gianduja, buckwheat nib cereal, smoothies, and drinks, just to name a few). I'm excited to try many of these creations.

Personally, I was so happy to see a recipe for white chocolate! I've made 3 recipes from the book and they have all turned out better than expected. My only issue with any of the recipes thus far is the white chocolate base. While the flavor is spot on, the use of coconut flour in the chocolate makes for a very gritty texture. However, I like it so much that I continue to make it regardless.

My only issue with this classic book is that there are some gaps in information about ingredients, for instance, like chocolate liquor/paste. I personally know what it is and how to use it, there is no explanation for what it is, how to use it, and why to use it. Another part that is missing from this book is actual processing of the raw chocolate and how it is made, especially raw cocoa butter, raw cocoa powder, and the raw cocoa bean.I know that it is not the intent of the book to show you how to make chocolate from bean to bar, but it would really make the book a more complete all-around raw chocolate book. This does not detract from this beautiful book, but I believe it would only benefit the inclusion of this information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazed at success of recipes, by Kibster
My friends now think I'm a raw chocolate chef! These recipes make it easy. While this isn't a beginner's book,I found the recipes straightforward and easy to follow. (The best part about working with raw chocolate is that you can always eat your "mistakes"). The only thing I wished for was a product source list; I did have a little trouble at first finding some of the ingredients.

Overall: fun book, fun recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valentine's Day Goes Raw, by vickiechip
This excellent entry in the authors' series of raw books is a Valentine's Day must. The raw chocolate bon bons are beautiful. Who knew what could be done w/ Cacao Paste. One point to make is the authors don't provide a source for that product but no matter, your local Whole Foods or Earth Fare have it in stock. It's not as exotic as it sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC BOOK!!, by rwfdie
I love everything about this book! The pics are beautiful and so inspiring. The recipes range from simple to more
challenging-(Fudge to bon bons) and directions are spot on. Such an ode to chocolate.
HUGE VARIETY!!! Thank you for making this book!!!

Mouth-watering rather than medicinal, simple rather than complicated, the recipes presented here include jams, scones, soup, crackers, nut milk, truffles, chocolate cake, mousse cake, and more. Complete, illustrated directions make it simple for both avid raw foodists and novice cooks alike to embrace the diet favored by Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Donna Karan, and other celebrities.

Read it in one sitting, couldn't put it down! by Melanie
I've read quite a bit lately on raw foods, and this book is different from them all. I finished it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. The Boutenko's welcome us into their lives and share their journey from dire illness to raw foods as a family.

Written in such a way that each family member's voice is included, this book chronicles their introduction to raw foods in 1994 when Sergei, then in 3rd grade, was diagnosed with "incurable" juvenile diabetes. Following her instincts, his mother Victoria refused to put him on insulin, instead beginning to research the effects of diet on health.

Amazingly, the whole family went raw together a short time afterward, and this story includes all the thoughts and feelings, all the changes they experienced as a result of their live food diet. Reading it does something that other more technical raw food manuals and cookbooks cannot do: it allows the reader to actually see what life might be like as a raw fooder.

Though the Boutenko's and their children were experiencing health problems due to their diet and lifestyle which strongly influenced their desire to go raw and encouraged them to stick with it, their story offers hope that making the transition with older children is indeed possible.
This is an inspiring book, and it includes a small recipe section and some before and after photographs of the family. A gem!

Excellent book by "jonkatzlawyer"
This is an excellent book for inspiring people to try a raw foods diet. Excellent prose are not needed to accomplish this; all that's needed is the heartfelt words of the authors. Here's the benefit I've derived from this book and the Boutenko family: After 13 years as a vegetarian (usually at least 10 pounds overweight the whole vegetarian time - rarely overweight that much before becoming a vegetarian, except for the year before), the most effective route for me has been the 100% raw foods route. I've lost ten pounds in 15 days on this diet, and plan to stay with it to shed several more overweight pounds. I include 3-4 times of 1/2 hour - 1 hour of exercise (Stairmaster, t'ai chi, one round of weights minimum every other day). I had the benefit of being convinced to try this raw foods diet without intent when (1) meeting the Boutenko raw family and (2) knowing a trustworthy acquaintance who knows well and vouches for the reliability of the Boutenko's claims (e.g., that the mom shed away her 280 lb. frame on raw, her son lost his juvenile diabetes, her husband lost his serious thyroid condition, and her daughter lost her asthma). I'm doing a simple raw diet. To make it easier to eat raw all day rather than going frustrated with a lack of time or recipes, I have not used any machinery (juicers, dehydrators, blenders, food processors). Besides, summer is a great time for an abundance of delicious raw foods at reasonable prices (including tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, bananas (year round), the broccoli family, summer fruits (melons, plums, nectarines). In colder weather, there remain numerous vegetables, citrus (I eat citrus daily), dried fruits, winter fruits, raw nuts, and transported tropical fruits. In this short time, I'm feeling better overall. My body feels cleaner. I don't feel the sniffles that I often had a few times a week for at least an hour. My cravings for un-raw food are slim to none. Jon Katz,

Awaken Yourself and Those You Love by Surya Peralta
I love this book. I found it inspiring, truthful, concise, and obviously born of a mothers love. My husband, a lifelong meat-and-potatoes man, read this book and literally became a raw foodist overnight. This book taught him in one read what I had been unable to in 7 years. This book very well may inspire you and your family to become healthy, happy, and harmonious. Beautifully sincere and possibly life altering book!

A Little Treasure by Marjorie Roswell
This book is a treasure. First of all, it's just a good read: It's an engaging narrative with a good story behind it. Secondly, it'll make you smile. Thirdly the few recipes in this book are AWESOME, especially the generic salad dressing. Fourthly, the book is a fast read. Finally, this book is a story of transformation (Four transformations, actually: in mom, dad, son and daughter) that can inspire us on our own path to health.

Great book, by E. Bolduc (Carmel, CA)
Amazing book. Easy to understand. Makes eating raw a fun adventure with great recipes! I got as a gift for my mom.

Not science fiction, but a scientific fact! This book is the first common sense scientific explanation of the aging process and "how to" reverse it. The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and environment prevent our body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates. Gradually, these leftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our body. Since acid coagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste areas becomes poor, causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop. The author defines the aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within the body. According to this theory, the reduction of accumulated wastes is re verse aging. This book explains how some of the adult degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and describes the various scientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes without any harmful side effects. These devices and methods are being wid ely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in existence in Japan for more than 40 years. Many in the alternative health industry of water ionizers, magnet and far-infrared devices regard this book as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of its kind in the English language. It is a "must read" for all who are health-conscious.

Great review of the science behind alkaline diets by Michael M.
This was one of the first books I picked up after reading Dr. Young's "The pH Miracle", which had left me with more questions than answers. What I loved about this book was the way Mr. Whang explains - in plain English anyone can understand - the chemical and physical science that makes alkaline diets work.

If you're looking to understand the science behind alkaline diets, this book is a must-read. Mr. Whang doesn't approach alkaline balance like most other authors who just tell you to eat this and not eat that. In the first few chapters of the book, he gives the reader the essential understanding of how the human body works - from a chemical perspective. He doesn't make assumptions or rely on annectodal data - he shows the reader how the laws of physics and chemistry affect the chemical reactions inside the human body.

Armed with this information, he then tells the reader how the basic elements of foods (minerals, calcium, phosphorus, etc.) affect the pH of the body. This is the key understanding when it comes to figuring out which foods are acidifying and which ones are alkalizing.

His approach is very straight forward, clear, and matter-of-fact. He then goes on to show how an acidic lifestyle and diet affects the body, how the body tries to maintain its chemical integrity, and what the resulting strain does, in terms of reactions, diseases, etc. Mr. Whang's description of diseases and how they come to be is also very interesting. He goes through a long list of diseases, gives specific reasons for each of them (from an alkaline diet point of view) and tells the reader how to reverse them. He goes a step further in his description of non-medicinal health improvement devices that are mainly used in other countries. Again, giving scientific reasons why and how they work to alkalize the body.

What is missing from this book is a good description of what to do on a day-to-day basis to become alkaline. He only mentions drinking alkaline waters. Nonetheless, I think Mr. Whang's book is excellent. If you're serious about getting healthy through an alkaline diet, you must to read this book (and also find another book that gives step-by-step instructions for what to do).

Karyn Calabrese is Chicago's premier vegan and raw restaurateur and champion for holistic cooking. Her latest cookbook is divided into two sections: one features popular cooked recipes from her restaurants, and the other focuses on her favourite raw recipes.

Reviews

"To call Karyn Calabrese's food exceedingly healthy is beside the point. It is, but more importantly, everything she touches in the kitchen becomes magically delicious. It's one of the reasons I live fifty feet from one of her restaurants. My wife and I are avid fans, not only of her restaurants but also of Karyn's holistic approach to life. Just look at her-enough said, right? To distill good nutrition and high sensuality into your cuisine is the true definition of culinary artistry. Run-don't wait-to buy this book. Three cheers, Karyn. You are the best."
-- Charlie Trotter, author and chef-owner, Charlie Trotter's.

"How I wish I could sit at Karyn's table every day to be nourished sufficiently. I know that eating this way is what provides and prolongs superior health and vitality, but beyond that is the fact that this food tastes so good. Now I can eat like this at home. Thanks Karyn."
-- Angela Bassett, Academy Award nominee and actress

Healthier Eating, by Terry R.
I purchased a copy so I would not mark up a friend's book I was perusing. I like that Karyn give options for those of us who are starting and want to change to healthier eating, however, find it difficult to go it 100% right away. I was surprised to find I had many of the herbs and groceries she uses in her recipes as I have started to change my eating habits. Thanks.

5 stars for me. I love it!, by Mazell Burns

Customer Reviews

Keeps Getting Better, by azmissdaisy (Scottsdale, AZ USA)
Dr. Joel Fuhrman is the one true voice to listen to when it comes to diet and nutrition. He is thorough in his research and with the success stories of his patients is proving that his beliefs are not only sound but work. When you read his words you just know that it all makes sense. I love Eat To Live and and am thrilled with Eat For Health and thought what could be new in Super Immunity? Let me just say- LOTS. He has done it again!

After reading this book, I feel like I have a clear picture of where disease comes from, what to do to prevent it and how to go about reversing it in it's tracks. Every thing from colds and flus and what to do about them, including a thoughtful and scientific overview of vaccines, so that people can make their own INFORMED decisions about these, to where cancer comes from and how to halt it's progression and even prevent it.

Cancer is not something that strikes people out of the blue or a rogue gene that needs tons of money to investigate. It is instead a direct result of processed and packaged foods being introduced and accepted as food in our society along with the lack of nutrients that the body needs for protection. If you are not eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables and super foods, you are walking around in a body with no "force field" against illness and disease. It's just a matter of time before disease and illness comes to call, unless you take proactive steps to stop it.

This book should be required reading for everyone as a user's manual for the body. Not only does it provide the science behind what is happening in the body, it spells out what foods to focus on and recipes on how to incorporate them into your daily lifestyle.

We as Americans are so out of touch with how to support our health and the real crime is that we are spreading our poisonous lifestyle and diet-born illnesses to the world around us. Wake up people, put down your cheeseburger, fries and soda and take charge of your own health and life.

I highly recommend this book! Another home run Dr. Fuhrman!
