4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for holistic healing, January 9, 2002

By	Calvary (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: African Holistic Health (Paperback)

I'm only 21 years old, and I picked up this book and boy is it great!.Dr. Llaila Afrika educates African-Americans about the numerous benefits of a holistic approach to health, which is rare in today's fat-ridden American society. This book is easy to read and contains many entries on which herbs and natural foods are used to treat what, how to apply them topically (externally), the evils of refined flour and sugar,the evils of alipathic medicine (Western medicine/technology) etc. A must read for all those who value their health. The reason why it didn't get 5 stars was because of all the editing mistakes (punctuation errors, etc.)

Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to opening the universal oneness of SELF, September 6, 1999

By	[e-mail] (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: African Holistic Health (Paperback)

Llaila O. Afrika expressed the complete oneness of the body and how each and every part of the human body is connected. The body, mind, and spirit are connected to form SELF. Dr. Afrika clearly defines how treatment of the body as a whole is crucial to wholistic health. The aches and pains that he body receives are indicators that something is out-of-sync in the body. Dr. Afrika shows different methods to bring the body back in sync with itself. The book express a deep need for each person to look toward thyself for treatment of SELF. The book describes a time when treatment with herbs, reflexology, iridology, vitamin and mineral supplementation was common practice. This is an excellent book for one who truly desires knowledge of themselves in dealing with health related issues. African Holistic Health is a remarkable book for someone new to treating the body, mind, and spirit as one BEING. When you awaken SELF, you awaken the Divine knowledge of SELF. I know that this book aids in aligning the wholistic body with the oneness of the divine SELF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, April 7, 2004

By	Lee Thompson (Seattle Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: African Holistic Health (Paperback)

My first encounter with this book was about 1995 a friend presented it to me, at the time I had no knowledge of Holistic health, reading this book open my eyes to many thing's that were unknown, even though there were things I didn't understand and had a hard time believing, I found myself drawn to at least try that which I felt pertain to me and I must say I owe yrs of pain free living because of this book. I lived with a lot of pain within my stomach from 1983 until 1995 doctors of traditional medicine were not able to tell me the cause or even a cure from what I was dealing with but soon after reading this book I found myself pain free and I could throw away the medicines I was prescribed and now I live life better with out the pain. I am thankful for this book. I recommend it to any one no matter the ethnic back ground it's a great book and a great author Thank you Dr Llaila O. Afrika
