The Oxygen Prescription: The Miracle of Oxidative Therapies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Oxygen Prescription is the revised, expanded & updated 3rd edition of Oxygen Healing Therapies. It investigates the therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen dioxide) and ozone. Their properties, application and administration are examined according to the results of studies around the globe. The good news is that these therapies promise to bring relief to millions because the substances are inexpensive and affordable. What's more, they have very few adverse effects when correctly administered.
The difference between oxidation (free radical activity) and oxygenation (increase in oxygen molecules) is made clear at the start. The clinical use of ozone and hydrogen peroxide has been amply documented in medical literature but is ignored by the medical mainstream. These two substances hold great promise for the treatment of many of the diseases afflicting mankind and they form part of a new healing paradigm involving safe, effective and natural forms of therapy. In the first part the author explains what these therapies are and takes a closer look at ozone, hydrogen peroxide and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Part two discusses oxidative therapies for a wide spectrum of conditions and diseases including cardiovascular & musculoskeletal problems, cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, an array of infections, neurodegenerative disorders, lung, skin, eye and ear diseases as well as injuries & wound healing and applications in dentistry and veterinary medicine. The author also considers the role of oxygen administration for preventive health, to ensure healthy aging and to enhance athletic performance.
Cancer has been treated with hydrogen peroxide & ozone therapy for decades, since the discovery of Nobel laureate Dr. Otto Warburg that a lack of oxygen at the cellular level enables the disease. Altman evaluates research at the Baylor University Medical Center in Texas, the Tottori University School of Medicine in Japan, Rockefeller University in New York City, the University of California at Irvine and Jackson State University in Mississippi where it was discovered that a combination of hydrogen peroxide, ethanol and the Middle Eastern herb Nigella sativa effectively inactivate cancer cells.
A holistic protocol is provided in part three, including body cleansing, an oxygenation diet, nutritional supplements & healing herbs, aerobic & breathing exercises plus the use of creative visualization. The chapter on herbs and supplements includes valuable information on inter alia beta carotene, coenzyme Q10, vitamins, minerals, trace elements like selenium, echinacea, garlic, ginkgo biloba and green tea. Under Mind-Body Healing the author discusses psycho-neuro-immunology and how to nurture positive thoughts and feelings.
Oxygen products, services and applications like ozone generators, air purifiers, ozonated drinking water, oxygenated bottled water, oxygenation products and the use of hydrogen peroxide in the home and garden are discussed in Appendix I, whilst Appendix II provides resources such as Internet addresses, details of organizations, publications, manufacturers and distributors of products, books and DVD's. The bibliography contains items on bio-oxidative, natural and complementary therapies plus works on holistic health in general.
Tables and figures illustrate the text and the book concludes with extensive notes and an index. This persuasive study provides ample proof that the safety, efficacy and wide-ranging potential applications of oxygen, ozone & hydrogen dioxide merit far more attention than they have been receiving from the media or the medical and scientific communities. The Oxygen Prescription is much more comprehensive and up-to-date than Douglass's Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle.
In an age of surging medical costs and complex procedures, many health-care consumers are searching for safe, effective and affordable therapies. By making the facts and the research results available, Altman has done an excellent job in educating consumers so they can take informed and intelligent decisions about health-care options. I strongly recommend this book to all those who wish to take responsibility for their own health.

A complete guide to oxygen therapies as a path to optimum health • Presents new scientific findings of the effectiveness of oxidative therapies in treating heart disease, cancer, herpes, HIV, hepatitis, and diabetes • Presents the evolution of these therapies, including positive trends and challenges for the future • Includes new chapters on using the therapies in dentistry and veterinary medicine Scientists now agree that most disease states are caused by oxygen starvation at a cellular level. Polluted air, devitalized foods, poor breathing habits, all can lead to chronic oxygen deficiency, a bodily environment in which toxins thrive as the overall immune response is weakened. Though we receive most of our oxygen from the air around us, even deep breathing may not be enough to improve oxygen-starved cells. Oxidative therapies generate the oxygen needed to fight disease and delay the aging process. The Oxygen Prescription is the only book to place oxidative therapies in the context of holistic health. Completely updated and expanded to include the use of these therapies in dentistry and veterinary medicine, it explores the latest scientific findings that show how ozone interacts with cells when introduced into the bloodstream. It presents treatments that stimulate the body's own ability to produce ozone to fight cancer, osteoporosis, and hepatitis and provides the evidence of how oxidative therapies are being used to treat heart disease, herpes, HIV, and diabetes. The Oxygen Prescription also shows how to enhance the effectiveness of these treatments through diet and the use of minerals, herbs, exercise, and visualization.

The Honey Prescription: The Amazing Power of Honey as Medicine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review originally appeared on The Magical Buffet website on 6/13/10.
You know what I really dislike? "Cure All" books. You know what I'm talking about, books that are all like: `this one thing that your doctor wouldn't suggest to you is able to cure just about any ailment you may or may not have.' These books prey on people's desperation and distrust of Western medicine. As someone suffering from a prolonged chronic pain condition, I know first hand about those feelings, which make those kinds of books, despite perhaps noble intentions, provoke a special visceral response from me.
(If you will allow me a moment on the parenthetical soap box. I know that many people feel their doctors would belittle them if they mentioned things like herbal supplements, acupuncture, or any other kind of "alternative medical treatment". To avoid any potential embarrassment these people will not see their family doctor, or worse, see them and not tell them of everything they're doing with regards to their health. It is dangerous and irresponsible to not tell your doctor EVERYTHING you do with regards to your health. They should know about every over the counter prescription you take, every herbal/vitamin supplement you use, and anything else that effects your body be it stress and nerves or your daily yoga practice. And guess what Nervous Nellies? Odds are your doctor will have useful, constructive information to share with you about these kinds of things. Good doctors want to help you get better, and to do that they need to know your thoughts on your treatment. And you know what? If your doctor mocks you or dismisses your thoughts and concerns regarding your treatment, they're not a good doctor for you. It's your body, treat it right and be sure it is given the respect it deserves, your doctor will probably thank you for it.)
Now you can understand how dismissive I was when I received a review copy of "The Honey Prescription" by Nathaniel Altman from Healing Arts Press. I pulled it out of the envelope and actually said aloud to my husband, "Well I won't be reading this." Yet there it sat on my kitchen counter for about a week, right next to the bottle of honey I use with Greek yogurt, on toast, and in my morning cereal. I like honey, what if there was useful information about this food I already consume? And that's when I started reading.
Right out of the gate I was impressed. The first section discusses in detail the life and times of the honeybee. I was blown away. The average beehive is as complex and drama laden as your daytime soap opera. Bees are so much more interesting than I would have thought. I generally look at bees as evil little buggers who want to hurt me. I'm afraid of bee stings, sue me. However, after reading "The Honey Prescription" I can see why so many people are fascinated by bees.
Next up was everything you probably never knew about types of honey and their differences and similarities. Also discussed is the evolution of honey gathering around the world. Honestly, the book is worth reading for just "Part One: Grounding". Despite enjoying the first part of the book, I was still bracing myself for the inevitable disappointment of reading something akin to a snake oil salesman's pitch. Guess what? It never happened.
"The Honey Prescription" is the book that I wish other "alternative medicine" books were like. There was so much that impressed me. Instead of acting as if folklore is scientific evidence, Altman directs your attention to current studies being done and medical applications occurring in other countries. There is a section of traditional folk medicine applications, but it is presented more as historical context rather than as a how-to guide. Despite having a laundry list of possible health applications, honey is never presented as a cure all. The author goes so far as to do what is generally a cardinal sin for these kinds of books, he tells you that you will probably not find the kind of "medical honey" he's discussing in the United States. An even graver sin, Altman does not have his own line of "medical honey" that he offers to sell you. It really is a researched argument for exploring possible medicinal applications for honey.
"The Honey Prescription" is an insightful read. I've learned a lot about potential uses for honey in modern medicine, and better still, I also learned a lot about the honey that I buy in the store. This book stimulated my mind, and also my taste buds.
