This is not a book for beginner.......2003-09-07

As Author indicated, this book is for beginners. What he failed to mentioned is what is beginner
If you're beginner in a way of having a good knowledge of steam engine and read about it before and have a set of tools and experience with lathe and understand poor explanation of component of steam engine (which he failed to explain any of it at all) then yes this is for you.
However, if you're a beginner that doesn't know much about steam engine then don't even waste your time with this book. To just give you a very brief example, on his first engine he has a section call "spring". Instead of explaining what is spring is used for he mentioned where he looked to find the spring. Again, he has another section call "Steam Chest" again he failed to explain the mechanism of the steam chest. Instead he mentioned make a whole here and there without any explanation as what is steam chest is use for and how it works.
Again if you're really a beginner without any previous knowledge of steam engine, them THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR YOU

Good projects.......2000-09-13

This book is excellent reading because of its suttle and charming humoristic style. It also has some good projects with very thorough instructions. Being from mainland Europe I'm not used to the Imperical measurements used and this can be a bit confusing. If you like model steam engines this book should be on your shelf.

A perfect book for the beginning model engineer........2000-06-10

It has been two months since I received this book and I have already built two of the engines shown! (they run perfectly). The author guides you through the building process as if he were beside you all the time, even though, a little machining experience is needed.

Since she was a young child, Ellen Cutler suffered from constipation, bloating, irritability, cravings, and fatigue from food allergies. She later studied chiropractic with an emphasis on nutrition. Through studying a number of alternative therapies, she developed BioSET--a protocol to treat food allergies and conditions that may be caused by food allergies, such as asthma, headaches, ADHD, and many other disorders.

Cutler's theories, conclusions, and treatments may elicit raised eyebrows from M.D. allergy specialists, although they are commonly used by naturopaths. She diagnoses allergies by means of muscle testing: the patient holds a glass vial of the allergen in one hand while the health professional presses down on the other arm, with weakness indicating allergy. Part of her process uses acupressure to stimulate points on the spine to activate energy blocks and reprogram the brain to stop identifying the substance as an allergen. Her treatment includes enzyme therapy.

Much of The Food Allergy Cure is a discussion of allergies, their symptoms (which can be just about any ailment, complaint, or condition), causes, and food triggers, with plentiful case studies of Cutler's success with patients. There is very little actual self-help information here. Usually Cutler discusses a condition and its roots in food allergies, and then describes how successful she is in treating patients with this condition using her BioSET system. The only at-home treatments described in the book are muscle testing, acupressure technique, an introduction to detoxifying activities, and a number of dietary suggestions and recipes. Other than that, she advises you to consult a BioSET practitioner (you're directed to the author's Web site for a referral list) and/or order the products she promotes. --Joan Price

Book Description

FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED PAPERBACK EDITION.
ELIMINATE YOUR FOOD SENSITIVITIES—ONCE AND FOR ALL.

If you are one of the nearly 90 million people (about one-third of the American population) who are forced to avoid certain foods, then you may have experienced one or several of the myriad of symptoms associated with food allergies, including sinusitis, chronic heartburn, asthma, chronic fatigue, and gastrointestinal distress. Relief from these conditions can now be found in Dr. Ellen Cutler’s revolutionary program, known as BioSET™. The Food Allergy Cure outlines this technique and will help you to combat your food allergies at their root. Combining muscle testing, detoxification techniques, and enzyme and diet therapies, The Food Allergy Cure will help sufferers to:

• Identify and alleviate specific food sensitivities immediately, with quick and easy methods
• Discover how to detoxify your body
• Find the most effective means of eliminating food sensitivities, safely and quickly
• Use a self-diagnostic questionnaire to determine which enzymes will contribute to your optimum health

Using a combination of Eastern and Western medicines, The Food Allergy Cure offers a program that is easy to implement, does not depend on drugs or expensive procedures, and is an invaluable resource for longtime food-allergy sufferers.

Skip this book and go to the source..........2006-03-08

Dr. Cutler barely mentions the acupuncurist from whom she learned her methods, but it was probably Dr. Devi Nambudripad or someone trained by her. So skip the copier and get your information from the woman who discovered a way to truly eliminate all allergies, not just food sensitivities. Her book, Say Goodbye To Illness, is packed full of testimonials, some which include phone numbers and email addresses, which are truly miraculous. She also has a research foundation which has verified the effectiveness of her method, which is called NAET. Nambudripad's materials are much more comprehensive, and there are a lot more NAET practitioners around the country than there are BioSet practitioners. Dr. Cutler does talk more about diet and enzymes than NAET does, but it is also old info you could get in any natural healing book. I am disappointed I wasted my time on this book and will stick with NAET.

Just Not Fair!.......2005-09-07

It's so unreal to me that someone would write this balderdash!
How can they prey on innocent people who have a hard enough time dealing with their very serious, life threatening allergies.
This genre of books is very uncool.

Food for thought for the believers.......2005-02-14

The book offers a novel approach to management of common problems like obesity, depression, arthritis etc. It is based on the premise that allergy to many substances can trigger diverse and totally unrelated symptoms. It dwells on the natural system of health BioSET. This consists of diverse components as unique acupressure techniques, nutritional evaluation and use of enzymes to correct enzyme deficiencies, as well as detoxification through homeopathy along with life style changes.
The author emphasizes that there are ailments related to foods ingested and they include not only asthma, migraine but also depression, obesity, infertility and PMS. She talks about food allergy testing and muscle testing strategies. Finally she reviews BioSET home treatment for food allergies as well as enzyme therapy. She even devotes a reader-friendly chapter to recipies and diet plans.

Ready, set,...huh?.......2004-03-28

The Food Allergy Cure convinced me that allergies may indeed be behind my ailments, but it did not provide me with enough information on how to treat myself without buying more expensive products. After reading the entire book and attempting to start my own treatment, I concluded that The Food Allergy Cure is effectively an extended advertisement for Dr. Cutler's BioSET techniques, where you are expected to buy her home testing products or visit a clinic, and for the enzyme vendor she recommends. Below I will describe how I came to this conclusion.

I slogged through the first half of the book, which is devoted to selling Dr. Cutler's BioSET treatment techniques without discussing in depth what they are and how they work. I was happy when finally on page 153, Cutler gets to actual diagnosis and treatment techniques. I tried the muscle testing on myself with milk, a known allergen, but my muscles did not weaken when I held a vial of milk. Determined to heal myself, I continued to Chapter 8, where you are told that before you actually test for foods, it's best to first test Level 1, where you "balance the body," testing for "blood, organs, glands, immune system, and enzymes" and then Level 2, where you "clear foods," listing "amino acids, phenolics and biochemicals, minerals, Vitamin C, [etc.]" (p. 170). On p. 171, Cutler instructs the reader to begin by testing the blood vial. Fair enough, anyone can prepare a blood vial at home. But how on earth do you get a vial for the rest of Level 1, your "organs, glands, immune system, and enzymes"? I suppose a resourceful person could figure out how to find Level 2 substances "amino acids, phenolics and biochemicals, minerals, Vitamin C, [etc.]" at home. I strongly suspect that Cutler expects the reader to order the Food Allergy Kit of vials, described in Appendix 1. Appendix 1 states that the kit contains Level 1 and 2 allergy vials (p. 287). How can a universal kit contain a substance representing the organs, glands, etc. for all human beings, when so many marrow or organ transplants fail due to patients' immune responses? People are all the same under the skin, but in terms of medicine there are limits.

If you forgo buying Dr. Cutler's vials and test for foods only, Cutler's anecdotes on patients who went through the full treatment leave you with question of whether or not your treatment would be more successful if you bought the vials, or better yet, actually visited a certified BioSET clinic. Chapter 9 suggests credible detoxification techniques that do not necessarily require further purchases, but Chapter 10 describes enzyme therapy, which involves--guess what--another purchase. Cutler's recommendations dovetail conveniently with the offerings of Wellzyme, which interestingly also sells this book prominently on the website. And a visit to the website shows that a modest regimen of enzymes would quickly add up to the same amount as a modest regimen of prescription drugs on an HMO plan. In this sense, the book's back-cover promises that you can treat yourself with the information in this book without drugs or expensive procedures, are not entirely true. I imagine visits to BioSET clinics are not cheap (I tried to inquire, but no person answers the 800 number on the BioSET website, nor do they return calls), and while enzymes are not technically drugs, they do cost as much as drugs.

Chapter 11 outlines diet plans that look remarkably similar to one another (three of four prescribe liberal quantities of vegetables, for example). They also look difficult to follow. It's very well to restrict yourself to two of some fruits per day, but there are other fruits and vegetables that you can eat only 3-4 times per week. If you're a dieter, you can take weekly meal planning in stride, but most of us can't be bothered figuring out which fruits to have daily and which to have only a few times a week.

I do believe that these theories have some validity, but the procedures described require a certain suspension of belief. I recommend you borrow this book from the library, read it carefully, and proceed sensibly.

Don't let the skeptics turn you away.......2003-10-09

I also was cured of life threatening allergies by using this method. Did I think it was too good to be true? Yes. But after being told by 3 specialists that there was nothing they could do for me I was willing to grasp at straws. It worked for me and I have not taken a pill or made a trip to the emergency room for anaphylactic shock for several years.
Please don't let the skeptics keep you from trying such a wonderful chance to change your life. It is pain free and risk free so I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It can't hurt to try!

A Must for the Arthritic Dog Owner.......2002-04-09

This is a great book for the arthritic dog owner. It is very thorough and investigates ALL of the solutions for dogs with arthritis and other diseases, such as Canine Hip Dysplasia. It talks about maintaining the dog's quality of health by holostic means, rather than the ever popular NSAIDS such as Rimadyl/Estogesic, which have been known to have a lot of side effects. But it also investigates the NSAIDS. The book is not one-sided, but gives open information about all possible routes that can be taken to maintain a dog with arthritis. I have read a lot of books about this topic, but this is one of my top picks. It delivers a lot of information in a clear manner, then lets the reader decide for her/his self what are the best solutions for their individual dog. I enjoyed this book most because of its thoroughness. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is facing anytype of joint complications with their dog.

Book Description

Millions of Americans would appreciate a quick fix or an instant cure for arthritis. Thanks to some recently released books that claim arthritis sufferers can pop a few pills and watch their arthritis and pain disappear, people think they?ve got the cure. They may soon be disappointed.
According to the co-authors of a brand new book, The Arthritis Solution, there?s more involved than just popping a few pills. ?The claim is that when combined, the over-the-counter products glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate can halt, reverse, and may even cure osteoarthritis,? says Dr. Joseph Kandel. ?The real question is, are these really of any value at all?? The Arthritis Solution looks at the pros and cons of this much-discussed combination treatment for treating arthritis and other joint pain syndromes. It also considers a broad array of other treatments that can ease, and in some cases radically reduce the pain and problems associated with arthritis.
?The goal of our book is to present arthritis sufferers with various pieces of the puzzle, so together with their doctor, they can put together their own combination of pain relief,? says Dr. David Sudderth. ?The pieces may comprise traditional medication, dietary changes, weight loss, exercise, massage, magnets, or any of more than two dozen other treatments. We encourage people to design the right solution for them.?Written as a news bulletin on the latest medicines, procedures, and options, The Arthritis Solution explains what arthritis is and what illnesses many people and sometimes even doctors confuse with it. It also informs readers of the most effective medicines on the market today and discusses a variety of natural medicines and alternatives ranging from massage to heat packs to mud baths and even the latest weight loss medication, Redux.
