Kurz
Imagine Homeopathy
"Most definitely one of the BEST books written on homeopathy. Chris Kurz writes in an interesting and fully comprehensive way to help us understand some of the most confusing concepts in homeopathy. Throughout my studies I have referred to this book many, many times and each time I have understood and extracted something new from it. I continue to re-read it even now and always find something new. Kurz is a good writer and a brilliant homeopath. Very interesting!"--amazon.com

Higdon
An Evidence-Based Approach to Dietary Phytochemicals
"The benefits of dietary phytochemicals receive almost daily mention in the media. In this unique book, the late Jane Higdon has compiled the available studies and evidence for the actual effects... I know of no other such reference that allows the practitioner to so quickly scan the published evidence for so many therapeutically active food chemicals. I highly recommend this book to any clinician that works with diet or supplements. It will enhance your protocols and help to improve patient outcomes."

Roemer
Medical Acupuncture in Pregnancy
"Concise and very clear text, which makes it accessible to students and practitioners. Each section includes main acupuncture points that are recommended for the condition, additional points that may be useful and a reference to nutritional recommendations covered later in the book. Concepts are clearly outlined, the tables are easy to understand and the author makes correlations between Chinese and Western medicine which can assist the Western student with an understanding of Chinese concepts. Because of its clear layout and compound format it is easy to use for a quick reference without having to navigate a complex text. A short section on the practice of qi gong... should be useful for a practitioner not familiar with qi gong practice... it contains a solid amount of Western medical information, which should be of interest to a TCM-trained acupuncturist." --The Lantern: A Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Kurz
Imagine Homeopathy
"A surprising book on homeopathic philosophy. Chapters cover topics from elementary to advanced...organized so they can be used in classrooms, or other teaching environments. This book would be interesting to both patients and practitioners alike. It provides a foundation knowledge of homeopathy, based on science that would even inform skeptics. Imaging Homeopathy is a unique book that provides a refreshing approach to homeopathic insight and teaching." --The American Homeopath
"Chris Kurz offers us a unique experience...[he] has found a way to harness the powers of our whole creativity, intuition and mental capacity in exploring the known and lesser known facts of homeopathy. The seventeen chapters take us on a journey through the landscape of homeopathy...and does so in a novel way that makes [the book] hard to put down. Images and metaphors stimulate imagination and work hand-in-hand with science, opening new pathways that take us to discover what homeopathy is and where we can go with it.
"I experienced "Imagine Homeopathy" as a really interactive book. It stimulated me to think, imagine, play, gave birth to new thoughts and questions and a whole new level of understanding. This is a book that you will read and (live through) with pleasure, and at the end you will find yourself in possession of the kind of quantity and quality of knowledge that usually asks for hours of head splitting study and years of trial and error experience. "Imagine homeopathy" is useful for dedicated teachers, a good way to start looking into homeopathy for beginners, and a stimulating companion for seasoned homeopaths in their lifelong homeopathic journey." --Dr. Atena Ioana Antonescu, Romanian Vice President, Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI)
"This delightful book uses metaphor and imagery to describe and illustrate principles and concepts of homeopathy. ..Provocative, interesting, understandable, and intriguing to read. The imagery, metaphors, and pictures speak a thousand words in their simplicity and create perfect teaching tools to examine, illustrate, and provoke critical thinking about the content. I have not seen a book of this kind on this subject. I highly recommend it to teachers as both a pedagogical tool to teach holistic therapies in general and to those teaching homeopathy."--Doody's Book Reviewss

Marquardt
Reflexotherapy of the Feet
"An excellent book for the licensed medical primary care provider. I am very aware that there are many well thought out points of view on where reflexes on the feet are located. Hanne Marquardt has done possibly the best job I have ever seen of showing where she thinks such reflexes are located."
--Bill Flocco, Founder/Director, American Academy of Reflexology; Past President, International Council of Reflexologists
"At last, a book written for the serious student...The
professional tone of the book makes this work
a great resource and textbook, both for entry-level
and life-long students of reflexology. This is
THE book for the professional!...I will strongly
recommend this book to educators who ask me what
texts are the best in the field to use. In addition
to the theory portion, Marquardt's extensive experience
gives invaluable and practical examples of how
reflexology can complement traditional medicine.
Whether one wants to practice in the medical model
or stress reduction/ wellness model, this book
is a must."
--Christine Issel, author of Reflexology:
Art, Science & History
"A lot of reflexology books cover the same ground. This book is an exception and is suited to the avid reflexology reader. [Reflexotherapy of the Feet provokes] thoughts about technique approaches, issues relating to professionalism, and perspectives on approaching reflex zone therapy...In a decade where reflexology is going mainstream, this book is the leader. It is a major contribution to our knowledge."
--Kevin Kunz, Founder/Director the Reflexology Research Program, Editor, Reflexions, teacher, and author
"I would recommend this book for all those interested in embarking or furthering their knowledge in reflex therapy. It is inspiring, sensitive and wise." --Physiotherapy Journal |
