Natural Highs: Supplements, Nutrition, and Mind-Body Techniques to Help You Feel Good All the Time (Paperback)
by Hyla Cass, Patrick Holford

I don't know about you, but I get tired of health & nutrition books that go on and on about technical details without supplying any real information I can use. That is why I have appreciated the direct approach taken in Natural Highs. The authors clearly explain how to feel better and why it works. The descriptions of neurotransmitters and brain chemistry are sufficient without becoming tiresome. The supplement recommendations are candid and well balanced. Important techniques such as breathwork and meditation are also covered. This book is readable and even entertaining. If you are curious about natural ways to relax or improve your mood, give it a try!

The Detox Solution: The Missing Link to Radiant Health, Abundant Energy, Ideal Weight, and Peace of Mind (Paperback)
by Patricia Fitzgerald

What is extraordinary about this book is both the logic of holistic-health solutions but also addressing the spiritual side of people from a completely open-minded, progressive standpoint. While many good and valuable health books show alternative medicines, this one demonstrates both through common sense as well as an extensive bibliography the proof that eradicating toxins (in mind, body, and spirit) is the real key. It is the real key, though often not talked about "in polite company". People seem to want the magic pill or vitamin, but won't think of the logic behind flushing the body of its waste, which is a real problem in the industrialized world. As a healed patient of Dr. Patricia, I was greatly pleased to see this book come out to spread her excellent work to a worldwide audience. It will remain a great resource for me and my family in the future.

Clinical nutritionist Elizabeth Lipski, M.S., C.C.N., also includes arthritis, autism, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and schizophrenia in the list of digestion-related ailments.

This book gives both the parent and the physician a clear road map to follow and explains in detail the many complicated "pieces of the puzzle".

Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Paperback)
by Tony Attwood

This book is an excellent resource tool regarding Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome (AS)is on the autism/Asperger's (a/A) spectrum and has long been regarded as the "high functioning end of the autism spectrum." Because this IS a spectrum, the behaviors and experiences and manifestations are as varied as there are individuals on the spectrum. However, there are certain diagnostic criteria that have to be met in order to determine if someone has Asperger's Syndrome or a place on the a/A spectrum.
Tony Attwood validates the behavior of people on the spectrum; he writes in a plain, straight forward style that reaches ALL readers from professionals to persons just learning about Asperger's. I like the way he encourages people with Asperger's embrace and accept this aspect of their lives. Tony Attwood makes it plain that a diagnosis of Asperger's is NOT a death knell or a mental health condemnation; on the contrary, he describes a place on the a/A spectrum as a baseline for behaviors that had previously caused "undefined differences." Asperger's is not a mental illness and this point is underscored throughout the book. Tony Attwood's voice is one of gentleness and acceptance; he describes behavior and sensory issues including synesthesia (linked sensory modes) in a way that invites and opens the door to discourse.

Empty Harvest (Paperback)
by Bernard Jensen

The premise of the book's subtitle - Understanding the Link Between Our Food, Our Immunity and Our Planet - got my attention. And, for the most part, the authors succeed in making their central point. They connect the dots between the quality of the soil, the harvest, our immune system, and our health. This level of holistic thinking is an important foundational piece of any conversation about the systems that are involved in creating personal and planetary health.

Touch for Health: A Practical Guide to Natural Health Using Acupressure Touch and Massage to Improve Postural Balance and Reduce Physical and Mental Pain and Tension (Spiral-bound)
by John F. Thie

Dr John Thie, founder of Touch for Health and one of the co-founders of Applied Kinesiology, passed away in August 2005 but his love of humanity and his quest to bring healing and natural health into every family lives on in this and his other works. As a Touch For Health Instructor since 1989, Dr Blumenthal has seen people from every background imaginable take up and use the tools in the Touch For Health system to improve their health and their friends and family’s health. This book has also been the springboard for countless people like Dr B who went back to school and became Doctors of Chiropractic. In this newest edition, the material is even more easily accessible and well laid out. Every family should have at least one copy of this essential resource.
