I got the book as a birthday gift. After leafing through it, I admit that I had my doubts about some of the treatments listed in there. I never imagined that the needles on the hairbrushes can work like acupuncture needles. After I tried it for my knee pain, to my surprise, it worked. I haven't had the opportunity to try other treatments in the book (thank god), but I will keep it handy just in case.

I am glad I bought this book. It's got a pretty good variety of pains and illnesses and most of the instructions are simple and easy to do. The meditation exercise it described helped my anxiety attacks and the yeast treatment for acne did seem to reduce my friend's acne. Overall, I found the book very useful.
