PASSTRAK Life and Health Insurance License Exam Manual, Fifth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Combines the Dearborne Pastrack Health Insurance & Life Insurance License Exam Manuals.
Overall it is a good study guide (I passed using this book with 2 weeks of leisurely at home study), but the test section could be revamped - it did not include enough questions that were like the ones on the actual exam (I took an Experior Online state exam).

Bad Medicine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sugar, aspirin, fluoride, silver fillings, these are all things that most people believe are safe and that the government, our doctors, and mainstream media tell us are safe. But this medical doctor tells the truth as to why all these very common things are so dangerous.
For instance, aspirin, long touted to be a heart attack prevention pill, is actually more likely to cause a brain bleed since it weakens the vessels and causes internal bleeding. The study that said that aspirin prevented heart attacks was done with aspirin that was buffered with magnesium. Magnesium does in fact prevent heart attacks. But when the study was done without the buffering, the aspirin did not prevent heart attacks.
He gives the same kind of insiders look at all the other issues too. This is another book that any natural health practitioner should have on their bookshelf.

The Biggest Legal Mistakes Physicians Make and How to Avoid Them Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book contains many topics important to physicians. However the substance for each topic is minimal. It does give some helpful tips for dealing with each topic it covers, but will certainly not be good as a sole reference on any of the topics. The question and answer format is difficult for me to follow. I would recommend getting books specific to the topics you need, as you would likely get more for your money.

Bare Bones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very interesting and sincere book of life experience and wisdom, indispensable for any orthopaedic practinioner; it's going to be an extremely exciting reading for anyone, concerned with orthopaedic surgery and modern medicine in general. The very epigraphs to the chapters are worth jotting down and being remembered through one's life. I'd especially recommend it to my fellows orthopaedic surgeons, who, in author's unvarnished narrative, would find their own practice events mirrored to some extent, and also feel themselves for a moment communicating with many legendary figures of American orthopaedics. It made me more humble and at the same time opened new horizons for my mind. A must-have book.

Like the 14th-century surgeon in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", Dr. Augusto Sarmiento has a tale to tell. This book is both an interesting autobiographical story of a young immigrant doctor's rise to success in the United States and a critique of recent trends in American medicine by someone who is now a recognised authority in orthopaedic surgery. This modern surgeon's tale is both an inspirational story of how one man made a difference and a revealing critique of the ills affecting American medicine today.

Harvest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Firstly, I have to say that Harvest is in my Top Ten List of all-time most favorite reads (and I've been a voracious reader for forty years).........This book has it all.............thrills, chills, great twisted plots, superb character development...........bad guys, good guys....kept me guessing.......and guessing.........Abby Di Matteo was a second year resident at Bayside Hospital in Boston when she was chosen to be part of the cardiac transplant team....When she discovered that a heart was to be given to a rich man's wife, rather than a young 17 year old boy who was next in line, both Abby and Dr. Chao, took drastic measures....which had immediate repercussions!Finding donor records as being falsified, and knowing that some hearts aren't coming through the correct channels, Abby starts an investigation........Since I first read Harvest when it came out in hardcover in 1996, the details and characters have stayed with me....this is a book that one can't forget..........it's an "edge of the seat" thriller, which is even scarier knowing that it's so easy for this to happen in real life.............Gerritsen's knowledge of the medical field shines through without all the jargon that we lay people can't understand! No matter where I am, at weddings, wakes, bookstores, beaches, if I see or know someone who reads, I always recommend any Tess Gerritsen book, so long as it includes Harvest!! Better than Cook, Crichton, or Palmer, and they are great authors, I assure you............This book is a MUST read.....Gotta mention, I was lucky enough to meet this beautiful and talented lady, twice at booksignings.........she is such a down-to-earth, friendly, sincere person, I hope each of you gets to meet her someday also!

The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones: A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness for Men, Women and Children Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got a copy of Dr. Platt's book by accident, but when I started reading it I (and my partner) saw ourselves in the pages. It was really quite remarkable, as Dr. Platt seemed to be writing about us. The book gave us hope for renewed health, and on the basis of it, we scheduled an appointment with him on Jan 3, 2007 (we live in California).
We have been following his program for less than a full week after driving back from Palm Desert, but the results have already been astonishing. My partner was sleeping 12-13 hours a day and was always exhausted; she is now sleeping 8 hours a day and waking up naturally, rested. For the last year we had to drug ourselves with benadryl and melatonin to sleep; now, with the progesterone cream, we are sleeping easily and well. We both have energy again, and the brain fog is starting to clear. My partner was so depressed she was literally suicidal, yet all the anti-depressants in the world were not helping. She is no longer taking anti-depressants, yet she is in a better mood than I have seen her in YEARS. She was struggling to work 3-4 hours a day, and she has put in FULL 8 HOUR DAYS every day this week. There is no explanation for this major change other than the fact that she has been taking the thyroid and hormone medications prescribed by Dr. Platt. She has also been getting very ill with respiratory illnesses every winter for her entire life -- especially the last few years -- and she is now -- in just a week! -- in better health than she has been in years. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it is true.
I have already lost nearly 6 pounds in five days, and I haven't even been 100?% compliant with cutting out refined carbs (I've been 95% compliant, my partner has been 100% compliant). What is most astonishing is that neither one of us have the cravings for sugar, white bread, candy, baked goods that we had before we started on Dr. Platt's regimine. Before, we would try not to eat carbs, but it was just impossible -- the cravings were too great. I attribute the lack of cravings to the hormones that Dr. Platt prescribed.
I don't know what will happen over the long term, but I do know this -- the results we seen in just the last week are nothing short of miraculous. We are going to keep this up. I won't bore everyone with the details of the major health problems we've both had during the last 10-15 years, but I will say that we had pretty much given up hope. I am 49 and my partner is 54, and we have real optomism now that we can regain our health and enjoy the rest of our lives with mobility and joy. Now I really believe that my lifelong goal of hiking down and up the Grand Canyon can be achieved, because now I really believe I can get the weight off that it will take to accomplish that goal.
Dr. Platt was kind, gentle, and factual when we met with him. His office staff is first rate. It was a blessing to talk to someone who, for the first time, didn't blame us for our weight and health problems. It was a blessing to have someone treat us as humans, not as lab results.
I recommend this book to anyone who is persistently, consistently overweight or is experiencing high blood sugar, etc. I recommend that you find the money and consult with Dr. Platt if there isn't someone in your area who will do hormone replacement. I think this is, at last, the real deal.
