Book Description

No one is immune. For people from champion athletes to desk-bound white-collar professionals, many simple acts of life--a relaxing evening stroll through the neighborhood, an exhilarating run along a sandy beach, just bending down to tie a loose shoelace-are often acts of torture. The walking wounded suffer from torn rotator cuffs, tennis elbow, jogger's knees, bad backs, stiff necks, sore feet, and swollen ankles. It could, without exaggeration, be called a modem epidemic.

In this brilliant book, renowned anatomical functionalist Pete Egoscue identifies the epidemic's causes and effects. By recognizing that the human body is dependent on adequate motion to maintain its full range of physical functions, he has revolutionized both the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and the techniques for training athletes to achieve peak performance levels.

Brimming with common sense and practical advice, the heart of this important book consists of twenty-two easy-to-do, highly effective exercises that stretch, strengthen, and relax the body, allowing a return to proper alignment.

5 out of 5 stars This Book is a lifesaver for those with back pain.......2007-09-17

My doctor recommended this book to me after I had suffered a year with debilitating sciatica that caused me to have to take a leave of absence from my business. After reading the book, I understood why so many of use who are chained to desks and our computers have back pain. The book explains what happens when we are posturally imbalanced and how certain parts of the body have to overfunction when they are not aligned. The exercises are easy to do and they work. After I read the book, I was on the next plane to Pete Egoscue's clinic in San Diego. It took 6 months but I am pain free. If you can't get to one of his now many clinics, this is the book to start with.

5 out of 5 stars Help Yourself with this Very Helpful Info.......2007-08-23

This book is an excellent method to get back to optimal pain free living. It helped my back pain almost immediately. I have done the exercises for about 2 weeks and have had great results. It is the only self administered program I have found to be really effective.

5 out of 5 stars Changes you can really feel!.......2007-03-20

Egoscue breaks down anatomy and physiology into easy to understand concepts, and provides pain relieving exercise that anyone can do! After years of being misaligned, I've already felt relief of pain and look forward to seeing the changes soon. If you're willing to work at it, I believe his methods can work for anyone!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-03-03

This is the best book out there for anyone who has any sort of pain. The Egoscue Method has worked for more people than you could ever imagine. Yes, the method takes some time and if you dont do the exercises, you wont get better, but as long as you make it a priority, you can definately get it done. The really nice thing is that you can do many of these while you are watching TV. I highly recommend this book, I couldnt give it enough stars!

This book is chocked full of very helpful information and easy to read and understand. I recommend it to anyone interested in improving their health.

4 out of 5 stars Detoxing with common sense.......2003-05-13

This is a good book to read for following your first detox. But I did find that my body needed some protein on the second day. So I added beans to the evening meal of miso the second night and it worked like a charm. This book contains some New Age mumbo-jumbo, but if you follow the dietary plans, you will see some amazing benefits. As the book recommends, I highly recommend you stick with a strict vegi diet the week before your detox to get the most benefits. I started on a Tuesday. By the following Tuesday I had lost 9 pounds and felt so great I hated going off the detox plan. Once you try a couple of different plans in this book, you figure out what works best for you. I invested in a Green Power juicer ..., the kind that juices wheatgrass, and I'm using it like crazy. You can also pick up a book of juicing recipes that will help you find ways to make the juices more delicious. Enjoy!

Book Description

Wouldn't it be wonderful to love your life through every age and stage of it? Appreciate yourself every step of the way? And have such vitality that, even though you're perfectly proud of the age you are, people routinely think you're several years younger?

This happy state is the promise of Younger by the Day, a one - year program for aging in reverse with results that start as soon as you do -- and you can start any day of the year.

Victoria Moran was baffled when midlife seemed to change everything, from the shape of her body to her visibility in society. She began a four - year journey, asking these questions: Why do some women blossom with age while others wither? How can you accept yourself as you are and still nurture yourself into becoming the best you can be? How can you draw from your inner wisdom everything you need to deal with the un-certainties of life as well the certainty of growing older?

Victoria found the practical answers, and they are distilled here for you to put into use, one day at a time.

I did not learn anything I did not already know by reading this book.
It also contained outdated information.
It was also written with some kind of weird anti-feminist viewpoint.

5 out of 5 stars Reading this book will make your next 50 years will be even better!.......2006-09-10

I checked this book out of the library a few weeks ago, but this is a book that I simply must own. This isn't the type of book that you read front to back and then you're done. This is a book you'll want to keep with you for the rest of your life.

5 out of 5 stars How to rejuvenate your body and spirit thru youth-enhancing fun.......2006-04-22

A 365-day advice book on how to rejuvenate your body and spirit provides a series of workable advice encouraging youth-enhancing activities, from using jokes to shut-off the worry machine in April around April Fool's Day to breaking the habit of self-comparison and revamping the pantry to get rid of unhealthy foods. More than another set of admonitions, this packs in useful advice in an easy monthly format readers will find truly inspirational.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2005-12-21

Looking for something uplifting to add to my daily meditation readings, I happily came upon Moran's Younger by the Day. Her book is so inspiring, that I save it to relish as my last reading each day so that I head out for the world renewed and positive. Moran writes in her typical elegant, yet practical and profound manner. This is a real find. I even purchased extra copies to give as gifts for friends and family!

4 out of 5 stars We are always looking for ways to feel better about ourselve.......2005-05-14

We are always looking for ways to feel better about ourselves. Whether ir is through affirmations, changing our health, changing our looks, or through doing a little something for ourselves. Many women get caught uo in our day to day routines and don't take time for ourselves each day like we should. Don't you deserve a little something? With this book you will and you will want to without feeling guilty.

This book is set up in a neat way. Ms. Moran offers us a suggestion for every day of the year to help you feel energized, confident and filled with youthfullness that you felt at one point in your life.

Many of the suggestions will make you take a step back and really think about what you have been doing with your time and your life. Her entries are very inspiring. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who feels they are stuck on a rut and needs a different perspective on things.

I've probably read anti-aging books , and "Anti-Aging Therapy: How to Clear Away the Wrinkles & Rejuvenate Your Face by Ping Zhang"is undoubtedly the most effective and authentic one yet. Everyone who values their body and personal well being should read this book. Just read this book and truly help yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Anti Aging Therapy by Dr. Ping Zhang.......2007-02-07

I am truly grateful for the gift that Dr.Ping Zhang has bestowed upon her readership through her comprehensive research spanning thousands of years of eastern medicine. The concept of self healing in an integrative fashion allowing for the optimizing of the mind body soul connection is reflected in the pages of this book. The information is referenced in such a way that one can learn and apply principles of nutrition, qi gong, including self massage, conscious movement, and breath work, with direction and focus to produce a feeling of well being and synchrony. One can experience the compassion, knowledge base, and dignity of this practitioner as the fuel to motivate the practice of the principles that are referenced. My patients and I have borne witness to the dedication, and comprehensive care and dedication that direct both her practice and her writing.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book! Not only my face rejuvenated, but my body, mind and spirit! .......2007-01-08

I got this book several months ago. I am amazed by the information provided from this book as well as the results from these ancient techniques and rituals.

I followed some of the protocols from the book including making myself the Pear Mask and practicing the Energy Ball Qi Gong exercise. My face Just Glowed instantly! Not only does my face look younger, but I feel more calm and energetic!

Anyone in their late 50s like me and considers rejuvenating their face, body, mind and spirit naturally rather than a chemical approach should consider trying some of these time-tested none-invasive natural methods.

I consider this book a great investment towaeds natural prevention of aging.

5 out of 5 stars Sixth Year in a Row.......2006-01-06

My wife and I have done this cleanse for five years now and will be soon starting for the sixth year. We do it in Jan/Feb every year as a way to recouperate from the holidays and kick-off the year feeling great. As others mention in their reviews, after only 21 days, I feel completely different, lighter (a by product of the cleanse is that you can lose significant weight - a lot of it is water weight which your body usually retains so it can "flush" out the toxins that comes from eating commerically packaged food so a portion of the weight loss comes from the fact that as your body sheds the water when all you eat are organic foods, drink filtered water and no garbage - alcohol, refined sugar, packaged foods, etc.), your skin truly does glow, more energy, and an all-around feeling of well-being. About 20 co-workers have incorporated this into their lives and many friends have also done it simply by seeing the effect it has on me (my wife and I don't really evangalize it among our friends/family). This is one of the only times I've talked the cleanse diet up in public. Yes it's a bit time consuming as you make most of the food from scratch but that's the whole point. For three weeks, you hit the pause button on your normal intake of food, and shift your daily consumption routines and get really aware and focused on what you put into your body. Really convienent food tends not to be very good for... which shouldn't be news to anybody. Those who are lazy and have no will power will not enjoy or complete this relatively short but highly effective regime.

4 out of 5 stars Detox programme works well, but format could be clearer........2004-09-24

I've used this book's detox programme twice, once six years ago and once this month, September 2004. I've found it really effective. The first time I did it I felt great, plus I lost 16 pounds and 2 inches off my waist, and kept it there for 4 years! So I recently detoxed again because I do like cookies etc! It worked well again. I found the book's format was very readable, and the articles for each day were interesting. For the daily menus during the 21 day prgramme, I would have preferred it presented more in simple lists and tables, not so many wordy paragraphs. I had to search for the information and write up my own schedule and shopping lists. But that's not much work, and if you really want the detox to succeed, it's worth that effort. Very good; reccomended.

1 out of 5 stars a HUGE was of time.......2003-04-23

This book outlines a diet that is a huge waste of time. The diet is impractical, the sections are poorly organized, the shopping lists are worthless (they omit many items needed for meals) and the premise of the whole process is based on pseudo-science and new age mumbo-jumbo. You'd be better off going on a strict, vegan, no protein, no carb diet for three weeks than trying to adhere to this crazy diet! The weight loss experienced by this diet would be due solely to the lower caloric intake and have nothing to do a some 'magical' combinations of 'problem foods' that you have avoided. Of course, my 'problem food' combination is a big mac, french fries and a milkshake -- so maybe it does help???

4 out of 5 stars Complicated.......2002-06-21

This was the first detox book I have read.

It involves a lot of planning & preparing.

What I gained from the book: rediscovered taking baths, understanding how my colon should properly function (& how my protruding stomach was due to a bloated dysfunctional colon), some wonderful liquid concoctions & that my menstrual cycle is necessary for cleansing & how to help it along. I saved the activities for those weekends or nights when I didn't have responsibilities to deal with & my boyfriend in the house. They served as a nice treat.

The most visible improvement was my skin. About more than a year ago I started getting really bad acne again, since about 6 years ago. The Rejuvalac drink seemed to clear it up. In fact I stopped using it & the spots (which I believe were due to some bacterial imbalance) came back. I then started to drink it again & it's been about 3 months & still clear. You need to hold your nose when you drink it but it doesn't have a bad taste.

By the second week I unfortunately gave up. I work full time, go to school and the plan is just too complicated and time consuming for me right now. Its been about 4 months since I started it & I still try to do some of things suggested in the book though. I have gone back to some of my bad habits though.

Unlike one review, and i've reread the book a couple of times, I don't remember the author claiming that her food combining principles are the reason that will help one lose weight. She only claimed that eating certain foods together leaves gases in your stomach, which makes one's stomach protrude. And she only claimed, as a by the way benefit, that one would 'may' lose some weight while following this.

The program is time consuming & somewhat expensive. The book does say that doing the entire program is somewhat impossible but the author wanted to give enough so that the individual readers can tailor/omit things. I live in hippie town San Francisco so finding the ingredients at my local organic, non-meat, bulk food, co-op health food store was easy enough (though time consuming & expensive). I can only assume it would be hard trying to find all of it if I didn't live in this diverse city though.

I gave the book 4 stars for the wealth of information the book provides. I give myself 1 star for not following thru. But I plan to revisit the book once (if) I get it back from my friend.
Once I finish school this next year I plan to see if I can do the entire program all the way through.

This book illustrates how to recognize stone buildup and provides do-it-yourself instructions for painlessly flushing them out of the body. The author thoroughly explains what causes gallstones in the liver and gallbladder and gives practical guidelines on how to prevent new ones from being formed. He clearly details how gallstones congesting the liver impair proper liver function, which in turn can lead to poor general health and contribute to serious illness. However, the core of the book is the easy-to-follow, all-natural cleanse that has helped thousands of people gain the benefits of a clean, revitalized liver. This preventative health approach promises the reader improved health now, as well as a reduced chance of needing invasive gallstone surgery in the future.

    5 out of 5 stars heeee haawwww!!!!.......2007-09-26

    This book is the next best thing from the more expensive one's, namely THE AMAZING LIVER CLEANSE and TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH & REJUVENATION. These are essential if you are starting to educate youself in alternative medicine.
    Sure the more expensive books are better formatted and such , but if you need the info , this is a cheap way to get it. If your willing to fork out an extra $15 dollars or so I would go with THE AMAZING LIVER CLEANSE. In either case Andreas Moritz produced very most exellent material here of the utmost hihest caliber. Just buy it man!

    5 out of 5 stars you never really know yourself.................2007-07-02

    I love this book, as it really helped me to figure out why certain fats (soybean oil) gave me problems after eating. It is easy enough to follow, and the amount of problems that can be solved by cleansing are immense. Not for the squeamish or those that care for western medicine. Thank-you Andreas Moritz!

    Book Description

    Eastern cultures have long attributed well-being to the balancing of one's chakras -- or vital energy centers within the body -- through yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises. This deck, by the author of the best-selling Yoga Deck, introduces the seven major chakras -- Root, Sacral, Navel Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. Learn how they affect your overall state of being and how to balance chakras that have become blocked or overloaded.

    5 out of 5 stars Love It !.......2007-01-14

    I purchased one deck for myself and one for a friend. We both think they are great. All of these decks are such good quality and a great value for the price. I'm sure I will purchase more.

    5 out of 5 stars This is a great all-in-one deck!.......2006-12-02

    I recieved this deck a few weeks ago. Being new to the world of chakras and meditation, I found this deck VERY helpful! It has a description of each chakra, an explanation of associated body parts and basic emotional and physical issues relating to each chakra. It also has the gemstones/crystals for each, flower essences, essential oils, and specific food for each chakra. It then gives three or four different yoga poses to help clear that particular chakra, as well as breathing exercises and meditations/chants for each. I found the cards easy to follow and nicely condensed, as they come in their own storage box with lid. There is even an aura card.
    I highly recommend this deck if your looking for a quick reference or for traveling. :o)

    5 out of 5 stars Relaxed & Rejuvenated - That's Me!.......2006-07-05

    This is my 2nd Deck - a gift for a friend. A truly enlightening, user-friendly, all-encompassing reference tool. The 7 Major Chakras are discussed in great detail including various healing yoga poses for each Chakra. Additionally, the Aura (Protective Shield) is included in the Deck. I would recommend this Chakra Deck to everyone!

    5 out of 5 stars Great Deck For Chakra Work.......2005-12-09

    "Within the body like seven vital energy centers. We can't see or feel them; they won't show up in an X ray or MRI. Yet, for thousands of years, Eastern cultures have recognized their importance to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Through these centers, known as chakras, life energy flows and is processed." - From the deck

    The word "chakra" is Sanskrit for "wheel" which refers to the seven circular vortices of energy that are aligned vertically from the base of the spine. Chakras regulate energy flow, which can both expand and contract. Trauma, illness and stress can cause imbalances, resulting in blocked (deficient) energy or overloaded (excessive) energy. Balanced chakras, however, allow energy to flow freely, promoting health, vitality and harmony.

    Each of the seven chakras governs different areas of life, and correlate to parts of the body, colors, sounds, mudras (hand positions), elements, essential oils and more:

    Root Chakra - Red - Safety
    Sacral Chakra - Orange - Relationships and Creativity
    Solar Plexus (Navel) Chakra - Yellow - Personality and Willpower
    Heart Chakra - Green (and Pink) - Love and Compassion
    Throat Chakra - Blue - Expression and Communication
    Third Eye (Brow) Chakra - Indigo - Intuition
    Crown Chakra - Violet (White/Gold) - Union with the All That Is

    According to Olivia Miller, it is not necessary to know which chakras are unbalanced or what has caused the imbalance in order to bring balance to them again. She maintains that chakras can be cleared, rebalanced, and energized through yoga, controlled deep breathing (pranayama), meditation, gemstones, crystals, flower essences and essential oils.

    The Chakra Deck contains 50 color-coded cards with seven card dedicated to each chakra and one card addressing the aura-the electromagnetic protective shield that surrounds the body. A 4-part fold-out accompanies the deck and serves as an introduction to the chakras as well as an instruction manual for getting the most out of the deck. The cards measure approximately 5.5 x 3.75 inches and come in a sturdy gold-colored box. The top comes off easily, providing easy access to the deck, and the box can stand upright.

    The seven cards for each chakra include:

    * Description Card - Lists basic information such as English and Sanskrit names, physical location, associated body parts, and key influences such as color, gemstones, flower essences, essential oils, foods, basic issues and more.
    * Explanation Card - Lists ways to identify imbalances including associated physical, emotional, and behavioral issues-as well as suggested activities beneficial to achieving balance.
    * Breathing Exercise Card and Three Yoga Pose Cards - Each card features an illustration of the pose on one side while the other side provides easy-to-follow instructions, list of benefits, and a suggested affirmation targeting a specific chakra. These are designed to move stagnant or constricted energy, balance the glandular system, relieve stress, and balance the respiratory and central nervous system.
    * Meditation Card - Aids in fully integrating the chakra's energy throughout the entire being.

    The Chakra Deck is a no-frills set of cards that are full of helpful information and practical exercises. Color-coded, numbered, and labeled, these concise cards are great for learning, understanding, and balancing the chakras.

    5 out of 5 stars Great info.......2007-01-06

    Book was informative and enlightening. I learned a lot about techniques I should consider to save and restore my skin. It was well written and easy to understand for a lay person such as myself. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.

    5 out of 5 stars Very helpful and easy to understand........2006-12-15

    Beautifeye is a great resource for anyone who wants to easily understand all the newest procedures for the eyes and face. This book outlines cosmetic procedures including peels, micordermabrasion and Botox and surgeries such as brow lifts and correction of droopy eyelids. It is very helpful that each procedure clearly lists the results and complications. The before and after photos display the actual results that may be achieved from different procedures, which is useful for visualizing how these changes may look on my face. There's no hype here, just concise info, as opposed to most fashion and beauty magazines, which always confuse and overwhelm me when they write about these sorts of things. I would recommend this to anyone who's seriously considering a cosmetic and/or surgical procedure.

    We have several books on aromatherapy, and rate this book as among the best of them. We like the ease at which we can find what we are looking for, and the simplicity yet effectiveness of the suggestions given in this book.

    5 out of 5 stars AROMATHERAPY.......2007-02-22

    This is the BEST Aromatherapy book I have ever read!!! This is a must read for everyone interested in Aromatherapy.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful and informative book.......2007-01-16

    I gave this book to my sister as a gift. I own a copy as well. This book is one of my treasures and I use it often.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent guide.......2005-10-28


    This book gets 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it doesn't cover much history of essential oils, or really their creation and how they're made, or essential oils by themselves in detail. What it does do is cover a huge variety of conditions and beauty regimens with detail, then with an arsenal of EO combinations, and much more. It's a delight to read, even if it is a bit on the serious side, delving deeply into the world of aromatherapy. The author obviously holds these gems in high regard, making much use of her time by detailing personal experiences, ideas, theories, and reasons for her motivations.

    It really is very good - if you're in the market for a great introduction filled with recipes, advice, and information, it's a good place to look. However, if you want to know more, it's better to accompany it with another, fuller guide in the future.

    4 out of 5 stars Oil on the pages, herbs stuck in the binding..........2004-02-04

    ...this book has been abused, beaten and much loved. As someone who loves working with oils, essences, herbs and the like, I have to say this book is among my top two! Whenver a healing blend is needed, I find myself reaching for this book first. The easy language makes it accessible even to my partner, who barely dabbles in these things. The herbal tea blends included are phenomenal. The blends translate well to massage oils, room scenting oils, soaps and candles, you name it!

    If you a a magical person looking to get into blending, put this volume next to your Cunningham!
