OK.... what can I say? I saw the TV infomercial but didn't like the TV price. Sooo, off to see the wizard. There it was on Amazon for a fraction of the TV price. And when it arrived? Well, I'm glad I didn't pay the full TV price. Very glad. This is mostly a rehash/reprint of stuff that's been around for years. I was aware of lots of it 20+ years ago. They've just freshened it up a bit. The TV infomercial shows the true power of a slick sales effort. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - unless you know nothing about health options. If you don't, it would be a good primer for you.

Even as I type this review I have five, yes, 5 Bottomline Invoices on my desk (I've returned the books, but their accounting department is apparently inadequately staffed). Against my better judgment, but seduced by masterful marketing emails, I ordered Bottomline Book of Moneysavers ($35.92), Healthbreakthroug 2007 ($35.95),Prescription Alternatives ($35.92), Bottomline Uncommon Cures ($33.91), and Superhealing, Unlimited ($39.91).

I, perhaps fortunately, didn't have time to peruse all of them, but the two I looked at were hundreds of pages of brief paragraphs, nuggets of information, teasers. Supposedly written by experts, but there would be an opposing opinion by another expert on the same subject on another page.

I found it very frustrating, both not enough information, and way, way too much on too many topics. Much of the information is common sense or widely disseminated.

In reality, I may very well purchase these books, but certainly NOT from Bottomline. The Amazon Marketplace serves me well. I firmly believe, given the quality of these books, there will be an endless supply of "Like New" for pennies on the dollar.

I am very disapointed by this book. I bought it because the advertisement guaranteed a secret way to lower high blood pressure in two weeks. Surprise, the book said to exercise, eat better and go to the doctor for medication if it is more than a little bit high. No secrets in this book, just what you have already heard on television and from every other source.

Please save your money and skip this book! I also bought it based on the claim to lower your blood pressure in a short time. Diet and exercise - good advice but hardly any secret. Page after page, issue after issue was the same disappointment. I feel thoroughly ripped off - I should have known better. Do net searches for your health issues and you'll find much more valuable information for free.

This book is a large, heavy, primer. NO Secrets here.
Too basic. The information is available anywhere. Disappointing.

After seeing the infomercial for the 100th time, I decided it was time... I needed to know all those secrets. I relisted the book for sale the same day I recieved it. I hope that tells you all you need to know. There is NOTHING of value in the book. A waste of my time and money. (FYI- Giving no stars it not an option...1 is the lowest)

What a bunch of trash. Snippets of health secrets...what a joke. A compilation of mostly meaningless tidbits. Go elsewhere...ignore the infocommercial...worthless.

In general, I consider all Bottom Line books a SCAM. I subscribed to their newsletter and instead of sending info, I was sent the same come-on's that if i paid more i could get the answers. They usually tell you things that you already know, if you have been reading health reports and these are things you can get on the internet.

this book does not include what is advertised only pieces of what is advertised. I really am sorry I purchased it, but like it is said let the buyer beware. In this case I was very wrong in my choice. I wish there was a way to rate this as 1/2 a star.

I paid only 4.00 but I still consider it a waste of money. I feel sorry for the people who pay $39 plus shipping on the infomercial.
