5.0 out of 5 stars BodyTalk - a fresh & effective approach to health, September 15, 2000

By A Customer

This book changed the way I view health, disease & medicine. Written in an engaging manner, the book covers theory and describes techniques that are clearly illustrated and easy to apply. These techniques are simple, safe & subtle - yet extremely powerful. I am using the BodyTalk system with my patients and results are fast & amazing. Apart from feeling better, many of my patients chose to study the BodyTalk system themselves so that they can take care of family members and friends. This book is a MUST for all health care practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars BodyTalk brings it all together, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

As a practitioner all I can say is that this book is a must have. BodyTalk will redefine the standard you have for health care. Going off of the basis of Nada Yoga breathing technique and Kineseology, Body Talk is a system without diagnosis and without medication or manipulation on it's most basis levels while addressing issues of the bodymind on the levels of mental, physical, and spiritual. It is a non invasive technique that deals with contact points on the acupunture channels and harmonizing the chakras with such body systems as the endocrine, the organs, DNA, viral infections, allergies, sprains, scars. It also deals with the energy levels of consciousness, five elements, chakra balancing, and wei chi. While not a cure for all ailments in itself, bodytalk is a complementary therapy designed to help keep the body and mind in balance. My only grievance with this modality is the lack of hard scientific tests that have been run to validate the claims of the patients and the practitioners. If it truly did all they said it facilitates, I would like to think they would subject it to the most rigorous tests, but they seem to believe that having a doctor who also practices is validation enough. I hope the future yields a more open mind on all sides.

5.0 out of 5 stars a new alternative treatment, January 25, 2008

This book explores the in depth of the use of kinesiology (muscle testing), a method of asking the body simple questions to help in treatment. It also explains how the treatment is done in an easy to understand way, with photo illustrations. The book explains how the basic skills can be used by anyone to help friends and family.

While the concept of this book is very alien to AMA thinkers, I have had excellent results with similar treatments that I would never have thought possible. I don't argue with results, and there is obviously a lot we still don't understand about the brain and the human body.

For those who are not satisfied with the restrictions of traditional medicine, this book explains an alternative worthy of consideration.
