4.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you are serious about your health, February 16, 2006

This is not for the faint of heart. Diane Cramer has written several books already, and they are all great reference sources. I made some interesting discoveries just based on my own horoscope and this book.

Diane's writing style is concise and easy to grasp. Llewellyn's organization of the book leaves a bit to be desired though. If you have a Windows PC, you will probably find the enclosed CD-ROM with software to create your own Health Report very worthwhile and an excellent start to taking control of your own health.

I enjoy this book very much and frequently consult it to adjust my own health regimen. Your personal alopathic physician may find it all too farfetched; then again, I'd rather take my vitamins now rather than prescription medications with nasty side effects later. Diane Cramer doesn't claim that using astrology could prevent or cure disease, but I believe that it can at least give insight into how to take charge of any (potential) health issues. Use this book as a guide to improving your health. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Astrology Simplified, January 18, 2009

By 

Marina Agassiz (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Managing Your Health & Wellness: A Guide to Holistic Health (Astrology Made Easy Series) (Paperback)

In Managing Your Health and Wellness, Diane L. Cramer manages to demystify medical astrology and help you have immediate access to the health indications in your birth chart. Medical Astrology is a complex and complicated topic that is often difficult to understand. Managing Your Health and Wellness is the first book that I know of to present this wealth of material cookbook styloe. There are interpretations for all the planets, signs, houses, aspects and more, including a CD ROM for beginners that prints a health and wellness report based on the book. It's a wonderful introduction to the subject, but also gives lots of specific information for those who have already studied the topic. I turn to it on a regular basis as a reference.

You'll learn about your body's strengths and weaknesses, along with specific remedies for building up weak areas. I was often amazed at how accurately this book pinpointed the trouble spots and symptoms I experience. There's a Glossary of the medical and astrology terminology used, along with an excellent Bibliography of other outstanding medical astrology books for those who want to learn more.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in medical astrology, especially as a first book on the subject. It is a concise guide, and Diane Cramer's many years of study of both astrology and nutrition shine through every page.
