The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural, and the Healing Power of Hope

by: M.D., FACS, Allan J. Hamilton

Release Date March 13, 2008
Excellent read. (and i dont read much)Had it sent over here to Ireland. Heard Dr Hamilton on a pod cast and looked up the book. He's a really intresting guy, great to see a doctor with his attitude, and respect for his patients. Amazing true storys. Alot of them sad, but a great insight into the reactions of terminally ill people, as well as what the doctor may be thinking.

Natural Health, Natural Medicine: The Complete Guide to Wellness and Self-Care for Optimum Health

by: Andrew Weil

Release Date December 09, 2004
I was very impressed by the chapter about physical activities and related effects on health in general.

The author explains in a systematic manner the positive and negative types of physical exercise and training.
I have tremendously enjoyed the therapeutic techniques included in this book, especially those that improve the quality of our health.
As a matter of fact, I began to use some of these techniques, and already I feel much better.

A superb book, and a great health guide.

Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing (The Self Healing Series)

by: Andrew Weil

Release Date February 08, 2000
I paid $25 for this in a retail store, and I regret it. I was looking for a CD that would take me through guided breathing exercises, the way some CDs take you through a guided meditation. I have asthma, and I'm pregnant, and I wanted to focus on better breathing. I'm still not sure if this CD has guided breathing exercises or not, maybe it does. Everytime I listen, I fall asleep before I hear him get to any part like that. Everything I've heard sounds like I'm back in a (boring) college lecture. Even if there are breathing exercises you can do along with the CD, I wouldn't be able to skip forward to them since this CD is a one-track deal.

Healthy Sleep

by: Andrew Weil, Rubin, Ph.D. Naiman

Release Date 2007-09
I have infrequent yet intermittent insomnia caused by anxiety - but when it hits, it feels like I have to dig myself out of a hole again. I had just come from my doctor and he recommended that I buy this amazing audio set. I was so exhausted that I bought it, came home, put it on my computer and took not one but two naps! The Dr.'s voices are easy on the ears and their understanding of insomnia through and through is comforting in itself. I highly recommend! I had the most gentle naps with this CD and I am not a napper. I have been too anxious to nap. Thanks to this CD, not today:)

Spontaneous Healing : How to Discover and Embrace Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself

by: Andrew Weil

Release Date April 04, 2000
Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness

A fantastic book about how to see the body from a whole new perspective. Dr. Weil is able to logically and clearly make strong connections between Western and "alternative" medicines in ways that make them easy to understand. I've read many of his books and without doubt, this is one of his best works. Look for his products at Origins....they are not tested on animals and his supplements are some of the finest around. Strongly recommended for anyone seeking excellent health and an opportunity to get and stay in shape.

Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, Revised Edition: A Proven Program for Taking Full Advantage of Your Body's Natural Healing Power

by: Andrew Weil

Release Date September 12, 2006
Wow what a great, well written alternative health text. So many issues that I had not heard of, now to digest the information. I will never view doctors with the same trusting faith again. Apparently we all have much to learn about human healing and so little time. Thank you Dr. Weil.

Eating Well For Optimum Health: The Essential Guide to Bringing Health and Pleasure Back to Eating

by: Andrew Weil

Release Date March 06, 2001
I am only prepared to comment on the content of the book, and not the style.
I read "Eating well for optimum health" a few years back and started applying the lifestyle suggestions from it without excessive rigor. I found substantial improvement of my health. In particular, I got rid of my severe hay fever and was able to maintain a reasonable body weight. Since I had no other medical concerns, I can say that the book helped me solve all my health problems. In addition, it provided me with guidelines for a balanced lifestyle with a diet rich in variety and taste.
I highly appreciate the work of Dr. Weil and his approach to pursuing healthy living and comprehensive medicine.

Heal Yourself With Medical Hypnosis: The Most Immediate Way to Use Your Mind-Body Connection!

by: Andrew Weil, Steven, Ph.D. Gurgevich

Release Date 2005-09
The lecture by Dr. Weil is excellent information on the dynamics and scientific work being done with medical hypnosis. The sessions with Dr. Gurgevich on Disc 2 were a review for me having already been trained as a hypnotherapist. Therefore, this is a CD I would only listen to once and/or refer to if trying to start someone else out with hypnosis. However, I did go to Dr. Gurgevich's website and order 4 of his CD's specific to some medical issues and impending surgery I am dealing with. Therefore, I do belive their information is accurate and effective.
