Book Description

Struggling with weight gain? Plagued by fatigue? Suffering from joint pain? According to preeminent clinical nutritionist Dr. Shari Lieberman, these symptoms are among the hallmarks of a little-known but surprisingly common sensitivity to gluten, a protein in certain grains. Dr. Lieberman has been investigating gluten sensitivity for more than 20 years. In her experience, eliminating gluten can alleviate many troubling symptoms for which doctors often cant find a cause, as well as chronic conditions for which mainstream medicine offers little hope of reliefincluding rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, lupus, and irritable bowel syndrome. In fact, 85 percent of Dr. Liebermans clients who follow a gluten-free diet report dramatic improvement in their healthand scientific studies support her results. In The Gluten Connection, Dr. Lieberman presents a simple questionnaire to help readers assess their risk for gluten sensitivity and provides a 14-day eating plan to start them on the path to improved health and vitality. She also recommends nutritional supplements to support and maximize the therapeutic potential of a gluten-free diet.

5 out of 5 stars Should be a best seller.......2007-09-23

I received The Gluten Connection in late August , read in quickly and our family started to eliminate gluten from our diets. What a difference it has made in the way we feel in a very short time Thank you Dr. Lieberman This book should be on the best seller list!

5 out of 5 stars Something finally worked!!!.......2007-09-04

I finally have a normal digestive system after years of struggling and this book was the key to my success. After four days of eating gluten-free all of my symptoms went away and I have been doing great ever since. This is nothing short of a miracle! This is a great resource for those of us whom the medical world cannot figure out! My searching has finally paid off! Thank you, Dr. Shari!

5 out of 5 stars Help for migraine sufferers!!!.......2007-06-27

The Gluten Connection is a great book for anyone suffering with an ailment that you cannot find help in the general medical community. Shari Liberman explains how gluten sensitivity is at the root cause of many illinesses like migraines, diabetes, and even autisum. She presents a lot of research, and then offers real solutions. There are recipes, and sources for shopping for gluten-free products. This book is an excellent resource!!!


5 out of 5 stars Life Changing Book.......2007-05-07

The Gluten Connection is by far the most important book I have ever read. If you are gluten sensitive, it will change your life; if you are not, it will apply to someone you know. The message gets through that 30% of the population is sensitive to gluten and that the smallest amount of it results in symptoms. In my case, after 3 days of gluten-free existence, the allergies that have plagued me for 30 years disappeared entirely and the muscle tightness that has made me miserable lately was gone as well. I will be eternally grateful to the author for writing this book. Susan Hildebran

5 out of 5 stars The Gluten Connection.......2007-03-27

I found this book to be very well written and very precise in the information provided. So many of the books on gluten intolerance are sketchy to say the least. This one however, explains gluten intolerance so very well. I was very impressed and will recommend it to new celiac's. A book well worth reading.

5 out of 5 stars Gabrielle Alizay makes Feng Shui understandable........2007-07-20

I have really enjoyed reading this book. I have been interested in Feng Shui for years but could never find a book that defined it so well as this one does. She set me straight about the differences in Feng Shui practices and how to use intention along with techniques. Great book with no confusion!
Kristi

5 out of 5 stars Feng Shui Fantastic.......2007-03-23

Super easy to read! Humorous and fun. Alizay un-mystifies a foreign mystery . One that will help direct our lives onto a better path. Tibetan Black Hat Feng Shui is much less complicated than the Chinese compass version. It is much more forgiving as long your actions are done with intent. This book gives real world examples and understand that we dont live in a perfect world- otherwise there would be no need for Feng Shui anyway. So far i have been very please with the book and the results. If nothing else, it has made me take a closer look at how i am living, my surroundings and what they say about me and why.

1 out of 5 stars Shill Alert.......2007-01-28

As of Jan 2007 all but three reviews of this book were made in November 2005. They read like they were written by the same person to me.

5 out of 5 stars Feng Shui Confusion Cleared.......2006-02-14

I have purchased several books in the pursuit of understanding and applying feng shui to my home. After all, I know that I feel better in rooms that are uncluttered and clean per basic feng shui principles. Therefore I hoped to dig deeper into feng shui applications to discover how to increase the sense of peace and comfort into my home.

This is the book that I needed to make sense of the other books that I own, although this book could just as easily stand on its own. Gabrielle Alizay has a simple, straightforward, and down-to-earth style of writing. She imparts her knowledge in an easily accessible manner and encourages readers to make the art of feng shui "their own." She doesn't bog readers down esoteric mumbo jumbo, but explains how gain positive results by personalizing things within one's own belief system.

Feng shui is not some mysterious religion, but rather a science of symbols and their effect on our subconscious mind. This was the book that cleared the confusion of feng shui and made it easy to understand how to put it into practice. When reading other books on feng shui, I use "Feng Shui for the Rest of Us" as a sort of feng shui encyclopedia or reference guide. But, if I could only keep one book on feng shui, this one would be it.

5 out of 5 stars Feng Shui for me...........2006-01-14

I hardly knew about Feng Shui before I read this book--Plus, I really was not interested--so I guess I was a skeptic. A friend gave me the book for Christmas. And though I still am a skeptic to a degree, Alizay seems to describe Feng Shui in a way that I found surprisingly charming and easy to understand. I have tried a couple of her suggestions and I have been rather amazed. I had results! I am still not a complete convert, but the book is enjoyable to read, well-written, and worth the time investment for anyone to finally "get" a bit of comprehension on what this Feng Shui "frenzy" is all about.

5 out of 5 stars Helped me more than anything.......2003-10-31

I had the opportunity to buy another book by this author several years but now regretfully passed and watched by investments go down the drain as I followed advice from another financial author.

Edelmans book helped me to recoup those losses and get back on track. I have since added "The Truth About Money" and "Ordinary People Extraordinary Wealth." I also recommend "The Road to Wealth" and "The Laws of Money" by Suze Orman, another credible financial author.

1 out of 5 stars don't rush to do any of this.......2003-06-19

Ric still assumes you can get 10% on investments. Right. And your Enron retirement plan will keep you cozy until you're 99.

2 out of 5 stars An insurance salesman's dream!.......2002-07-09

This book should have been titled "Why you need to overinsure yourself rather than plan for retirement!" Ric uses life insurance *AS* his retirement plan and recommends you maintain enough insurance to provide an INCOME to your family. Not just pay off your debts and provide some cushion for your family, but to actually LIVE off the income. Geez, no wonder insurance rates are sky high! I can see a larger policy for a working man with a wife and young children to support -- so that his wife can have a few years to find her own way. But this man is advocating using life insurance for something it was never intended to be used for.

On top of that, he completely discounts just how much all this life and disability insurance costs. He maintains that if you can purchase a VCR and TV, you can someone find the money each month for all this insurance. Well let me tell you, I did just a basic search for the numbers he recommended for my family and we would pay out OVER $500 a month just for insurance! No thank you. We'll stick with our meager $100,000 whole life policy and the term policy for paying off the mortgage.

And that's another thing! I've never read a financial planning book that advocates not paying off your mortgage! His entire chapter about that was totally contrary to ALL the other advice out there and I couldn't disagree more. One should maintain the status quo, pay your debts, save, invest, and then pay off the morgage! Provide for your own retirement and stop using life insurance as your retirement plan.

5 out of 5 stars Book achieves its goals.......2001-11-30

This book accomplishs its limited goal and does it well. To say the book is short on detail or substance misses the point of the book. Ric's other books do that. This book is meant to be a quick and basic primer on what people can do now, and it's not meant to be more. Furthermore, to say the author has questionable credentials is amusing. His firm was ranked by Bloomberg as the 5th-largest independent financial planning firm in the nation, with 5,400+ clients and $1.7 billion in client assets. Please, if you're going issue a poor review, make sure its not just a shallow and sleazy ranting.

5 out of 5 stars Well written book, gives great advice.......2001-11-27

With the evnets of 9/11, many of us don't know where to turn regarding our finances. This book will guide you with great advice. I'm glad I purchased it and will advise you to do the same. An easy read!!!

    Book Description

    Finding and bonding with an adorable extraterrestrial with wondrous powers sounds like the perfect fantasy, a fantasy that becomes reality for Shiina and Akira, two typical Tokyo teens, as well as for an unknown number of other youths. But the brightest fantasies can cast the darkest shadows, and these cute, cuddly creatures will eventually grow into powerful, fearsome Shadow Dragons that, if bonded with troubled teens, can become threats of the highest order. And when these Dragon-bonded delinquents begin to organize in secret, the danger grows exponentially. Shiina and Akira inevitably draw the attention of this underground movement, and how the two girls choose their paths will determine the direction of their friendship - and, perhaps, the future of Mankind.

    5 out of 5 stars Calm before the storm.......2007-05-13

    By now, this series has set up nearly all of the major characters' places in its dramatic plot, and a couple little loose ends have been tied up concerning the shadow dragons: hulking, unearthly, and, more often than not, terrifying beasts that the mentally frenzied teenage cast can control to do whatever they wish. It keeps you interested at all times, intrigued at others, and even smiling at a few precious moments. Yet it's no understatement to say that volume 6 will be the last time you smile until a point past the current English releases.

    Volume 5 was an offering dedicated to showcasing the murderous talents of the dragons on the evil side of the spectrum, commanded by three high schoolers working together to change the very framework of society. Joining them was Mamiko Kuri, the mysterious girl who reveals in the beginning of this book that she has a dragon, too. Its form remains unknown. Elsewhere, the heroic dragon bearers--headstrong Shiina Tamai, timid Akira Sakura, bitter Norio Koga, and smug Takeo Tsurumaru--are all off on their own adventures after the aerial onslaught brought about by the mysterious villains. Unbeknownst to young girls Shiina and Akira, their calm friend Sudo Naozumi is one of the telepathic dragon bearers they fought high above the ground, and the three make a plan to go on an innocent day of fishing. Trouble in paradise brews as they drive home, though: Sudo invites Akira to join his wicked group (to which she utters no reply), going on to explain that their fishing trip was no different from "hitting someone for your own enjoyment, but the fish can't complain or fight back". Through the whole series Sudo's remain the most brutally honest, realistically-thinking views of all those presented.

    But there is another brief plot brewing, one which I consider the happiest and most believable through the whole manga. Some fans call it the story of the "terrible three", and it focuses on the relationship between three new youths, going a bit further into the origin of the dragons as well. Cousins Kyoji and Shoko Fukayama, along with lifelong friend Jyun Ezumi, become entangled in a romantic side story that journeys to every corner of the human heart and forces out some of the strongest emotions exhibited during all twelve of Shadow Star's volumes. The three meet up in Tokyo after a long separation; Kyoji in a coma after falling off an abandoned building, Shoko heartbroken at the severity of his injuries, and Jyun giving Shoko a caustic lecture on how selfish she came across when they wrote letters to one another. Shiina, who had befriended Jyun the previous night when they found each other training on their shadow dragons, is witness to it all, from Shoko confessing her poignant love for Kyoji to Jyun showing her the birth of a dragon princess. Kyoji ends up passing away, Jyun is revealed to be both deceased and a physical form of Kyoji's soul granted to him by the dragons, and Shoko cries that she can keep on loving Kyoji past his death.

    If it sounds complicated, that's because it is, but it's, above all else, the ultimate contrast to the upcoming plot, which is without a doubt the most terrifying in the whole series. Author/artist Mohiro Kitoh knocks down your defenses with this volume's account of self-discovery and the power to move on, which makes volume 7 have leaps and bounds more impact. But what happens in the next volume stays in the next volume, and standing up against what has already come, Shadow Star's volume 6 is the simultaneously the best and most compassionate yet.

    Book Description


    "All children with autism have ways of dropping into their own world, leaving us behind for a minute, and hour, a day."

    This is the essence of autism: a disorder that is, at its heart, about interaction. Many of the symptoms associated with autism come from either a lack of paying attention to other people or a lack of interest in joining in with the rest of the world.

    Because this is the case, it is important that when you work with your child, you are addressing the core issue of autism: your child, for one reason or another, is not spending enough time in our interactive world.

    What You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child with Autism gives you the best techniques you can do - right now - to work with your child and draw him or her back into our interactive world.

    The ten techniques in the book are not just explained in detail, they are also illustrated by true stories of Mr. Levy's work with children with autism (and their parents).

    Topics include:

    Don't React: How you respond to your child's behaviors can make all the difference. Learn why most people are ineffective in discouraging their child's 'problem' behaviors and how you can do it differently.

    Make Eye Contact a Priority: Understand why eye contact is vital to your child's development and easy steps you can take to help your child to look more.

    Join with the Stims: A different and powerful approach to your child's self stimulating and repetitious behaviors.

    Respond Differently to Crying: Most of us give children great reasons to cry and act unhappy. Learn to teach your child a more effective way to communicate with you and the rest of the world.

    Give Your Child as much Control as Possible: Most children with autism are told "No" much of the time by their parents, teachers, and family members. Make interacting with people more attractive to your child by allowing him to do more of what he wants and moving against him less.

    Focus on Your Attitude: A hidden factor in your child's development is how you feel as you work with her. Learn why this is the case and how to feel better, more of the time.

    Work One-On-One in a Non-Distracting Room: Why school isn't the best place for your child to develop and grow. Understand the three main factors in a successful educational environment.

    Be Dynamic with Your Child: Enthusiasm matters to your child's growth. Learn the three tools you can use to demonstrate energy, excitement, and enthusiasm.

    Get More Language: There are three categories of language ability, which does your child fit into? Master techniques that will enable your child to improve her speech, whatever her current level.

    Make Sure Food Isn't Part of the Problem: An explanation of dairy and wheat intolerances, and why sugar isn't helping your child. Also, how to introduce new foods so he actually eats them.


    When parents feel their world spinning out of control, What You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Child with Autism puts the power back in their hands to work with--and help--their child.

    5 out of 5 stars a great start.......2007-10-08

    After reading this book I am ordering twenty: for all the people who work with my daughter, all our family and everyone I know who has an autistic child! It explains so much better than I ever could just how to reach her!

    It is a one night read, very commonsense and straightforward. Others may find it "out there". I can vouch that it's tried and tested and beyond "not doing harm" I think it may just be pretty darned helpful!! You get the feeling that there's more Jonathon Levy is not saying. Clearly it's YEARS of experience condensed drastically. I think the idea is, try it and wait and see (do this with an open mind! As if anything will work if you're waiting for it to crash and burn!)then if you like what you see get back online and look up the books that started the Son-Rise program (Son-Rise, A Miracle To Believe In etc by Barry Neil Kaufman).

    What I will suggest is this: READ IT! It's not expensive and it may turn you upside down on how you deal with your autistic loved one. Upside down isn't a bad thing: IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE YOU'LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT. But if there's more... like an enriched relationship, a deepened appreciation... are you willing to give it a shot, try something new, and move out of your comfort zone to get it?

    5 out of 5 stars Advice to empower parents and caregivers...Fantastic!!!.......2007-09-20

    Levy lays out 10 straight forward techniques to help those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (e.g., Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), PDD-NOS, Asperger's Syndrome, ...), as well as addresses parents' feelings/experiences with a special child and includes instructions on charting where a child is (in terms of eye contact, language, what a child is eating [GF/CF] and more). It forewarns the reader of the pitfalls of assuming that a child gives plenty of eye contact (chart it to be sure) or if a child is very verbal (are they really interacting in our world?)...we have all been on the phone with someone while answering emails and said just enough to convince the other person that we are really engaging with them ("really", "that's interesting", "go on"...), yet we are not really interacting with them.

    This book is an enjoyable read...unlike some other books on autism, it is not burdened by heavy technical jargon that leaves the reader feeling inferior, rather Levy's book uses language to empower the reader. The book also has a website that has on-line video seminars. While this book ideally recommends a home-school setting, I still advise teachers to read it too. Because, lets face it, not everyone's circumstances allow them to keep their child home. So, if your going to be dealing with ASD kids, you will be far better off to have some real tools that will help you teach those in your care. We are getting our daughter back as a result of this approach. She is progressing by leaps and bounds in the areas of eye contact, verbal communication, sleep pattern, demeanor, and is now fully potty trained. This book is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Practical, Down To Earth.......2007-08-29

    This is a very good guide for parents and teachers who wish to waste no time in treating their autistic child or student. The author "sells" his ideas very quickly and effectively with a powerful introduction. He's been there, seen the worst, done it and has numerous successes stories under his belt.

    The 10 steps he recommends (listed and briefly explained in the synopsis) require very little preparation to execute. A few of the tips are obvious. Some are enlightening and some are downright controversial. Do they all work for all autistic children? Only reliable research data will reveal the whole and objective truth, but many of the exercises recommended by the author probably won't hurt. Some may even be very effective.

    The wonderful thing about some of the author's insights is that a lot of his advice is good not just for autistic children but also for normal children who don't behave well. My only complaint is that there are probably more tricks than these that the author is not sharing with us yet.

    4 out of 5 stars NJR.......2007-08-25

    I would recommend this book to parents who have just found out their child is autistic because it offers some helpful advice on dealing with an autistic child on a practical level. It also provides some helpful hints on what the parents need to work on asap with their child such as eye contact, behavioral problems, stemming, and offering different foods to your child so they won't be stuck on the same food preferences which may or may not be healthy. I would add to this book a chapter on helping your child to talk. Bumble Bee language tapes offered on-line were very helpful to our family with making sure our autistic son could speak and communicate his wants and needs which helped eliminate his frustration and early behavioral problems. The parents have to keep talking with their child and practice the very important eye contact to help their child succeed in life.

    5 out of 5 stars Something to think about.......2007-08-23

    This book is thought provoking. I'm the mother of a child with autism, as well as a professional who works with children on the spectrum. I highly recommend this as a must read!

      4 out of 5 stars Very good.......2007-09-04

      This book gives yyou proof of what works and what is questionable. It also gives the side effects. What it lacks, is MORE supplements for each medical condition...example the cold and vitamin C's effects are not mentioned.
      Also, the most common conditions are addressed but I really would have liked more.
      BUT it is still very useful and a reccomend for your home library.

        3 out of 5 stars Quite boring.......2006-01-19

        The books is a collection of a few articles written by a few famous investors. Of course, there is some wisdom in their words, but overall the selection looks pretty random. The articles are not really logically connected, written about different markets, different times and often are given out of the context. Just like mixing the best ingridients is not nessesary makes a good meal, this books is not adding much value by combining the pieces together.

        It's also hard to recommend this book to any category of investors. It's clearly not a getting started guide for the beginners because there is no introduction to the market. And the serious investors would probably rather read the original works of those star investors.
