I am curious about the reviews in which plagiarism is mentioned especially where there don't appear to be any bad reviews concerning plagiarism. This leads me to believe there have been other known instances in which Ms. Larson has used others' copyrighted material. The good reviews here at Amazon are suspect and sound as if they were written by Linda Larson herself. (the 'author'). Do your research, and investigate Ms. Larson's claims on her websites because I am personally aware of copyright infringement in the case of another book she claimed to have written. If others are aware of plagiarism on the part of the 'author' in any other published books please feel free to contact me.

I have used the information in this book and it is truly great and very helpful to new mothers with infants. I am devastated of what another reviewer has to say about Ms Larson's book. This sounds almost like petty jealousy and no where did I read that Ms Larson was proclaiming to be a doctor. Her techniques and methods are proven and very good. I did not see anywhere in her book which I own,falsehoods at all. I am sorry, this is a great book and every new mother should have it in her home.

I think this book offers much advice and help on the baby massage. I beleive the other person who wrote the other review is jealous and petty. No where in her book does Ms. Larson proclaim to be a medical doctor nor have I found any plagerism in the book. This book is of great help to all new mothers with their infants and from I have experience from the book helps greatly. I would give this book a high 5 star rating no matter what any other reviewer says. I have this book and use it and I would not be without it. I did not think she talked as though she had a medical license. This book is a must for all new mothers with infants. To accuse someone of what this other reviewer has done is duly unjust and unprofessional.

This book has wonderful information on Chinese "TUINA" Acupressure and Aromatherapy. The author studied in China, and the valuable information taken from both Chinese Medicine Doctors and a very well known Registered Nurse Jane Buckle, author of "Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing" of whom wrote the foreword in this book. There is much credible information in the book, great for new mothers and for those who simply want to use acupressure to help their children! Sincerely, LOVED THE BOOK!! AMTA (AMERICAN MASSAGE THERAPY JOURNAL IS DOING A FRONT COVER ARTICLE ON THIS BOOK SPRING 2001. A NATIONAL MEDICAL ORGANIZATION, BOOK REVIEW WILL FOLLOW IN SEPTEMBER 2001 ISSUE OF THE MASSAGE THERAPY JOURNAL.

I bought this as a gift for my boss. I thought the subject was very interesting and bought it based on the positive reviews of other readers. When I received it, I was very disappointed by the quality of the printing. It looked like someone photo-copied it. I expected a $12 paperback to have a more professional look. Needless to say, I won't be giving it as a gift.

Mind you, I am not judging the quality of the writing. Since I know nothing about children or accupressure, I am not qualified to rate that.
