5.0 out of 5 stars I feel great!, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This is a great book if you have a desire to help yourself feel better. I have ordered about 15 copies in the last 6 months for family members and friends. When someone tells me they have pains I tell them how to relieve it. At first they think I'm nuts. Then they do what I tell them and when the pain goes away they want a copy. I have enjoyed the practice of making myself feel better and you will too with this book. Enjoy the book and the good health that goes with it. To your health. Judy

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative reference, December 30, 2001

By	Aimee Slater (Port Clinton, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

I find Body Reflexology to be very useful in my massage practice. The language and concepts are plain and easily understood. The case histories are extremely interesting. An excellent reference for anyone curious about how reflexology works all over the body, not just hands or feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, December 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Reflexology: Healing at Your Fingertips (Hardcover)

Of course, I used to laugh at all those new age jerks who were studying horoscopes, chakras and reflex charts. However, being pretty desperate about my health, I decided to give Mrs. Carter's book a try - what could I lose, anyway?

Though I found out that reflexology will not work wonders, ie. bring immediate complete healing, I was suprised to see that it had indeed some beneficial effects on my health. I had really bad digestion problems. Massaging the stomach and colon reflexes provided some very quick relief and my digestion is actually improving slowly. I also had slight potency problems, so I started to massage several sex reflexes. I have noticed an obvious improvement in my sexual performance. I have also noticed that massaging the heart reflexes provides some very quick help. I haven't yet noticed any results with my eye problems. I still have lots of work to do with my health, but Mrs. Carter's book gave me a pretty good start.

It was an excellent idea of Mrs. Carter to include other kinds of advice than just reflexology in her book . For instance, she introduces a yoga exercise for instantly curing a sore throat. It doesn't heal your throat completely in an instant as Mrs. Carter claims, but sometimes it's still a great help.

Of course, this book is no substitute for your brains. If you'd take Mrs. Carter's advice dead-seriously, you'd have to spend 24 hours a day massaging your reflexes. Her book seems to be directed on retired persons who have nothing to do all day long anyway. She also prates very much about God, love etc. Please don't let this keep you from reading this wonderful book. Forgive the old lady her little weaknesses. This book is so good that a few flaws that are in it aren't really disturbing at all.
