Review

"Book II of Forget the Cures, Find the Cause is a phenomenal journey of passion and conviction. From the poignant introduction that describes Gangi's personal journey into alternative health, to the touching essay on dealing with grief at the end of life's journey, the reader is guided through their own history of illness, imbalance, trauma, and changes that have affected their present state of health. Book I gave us the Seven Keys to balanced health and was also a powerful read and overview of the often misunderstood world of alternative health. The Circle, in Book II shows us our connection to the world around us and is quite brave and firm in discussing the causes of America's ill health. Recommended for every parent and every child regardles of age. Sandy Tender, MSW. --Body & Sole Books

As a colleague and friend, I have known Rayna to be a dedicated researcher, healer, writer, and teacher who embraces a deep respect for earth awareness and the interconnections and synergy of all experiences in being within the circle of life. As an alternative to the Magic Bullet approach of pills and potions, she offers a guide for those searching for greater balance and health in their lives. I laud her courage to move us toward a more holy, holistic, and holographic way of living and being through personal transition and transformation. - Dr. Karen Kelley, DC, MSW, Director, The Holistic Healing Arts Center. --Holistic Healing Arts Newsletter

Everyone has something in common we are all someone s child. From birth, we subject our children to vaccines that are supposed to protect and defend us against mumps, tetanus, rubella, etc. However, Gangi writes that within hours of being vaccinated, some children suffered convulsions, respiratory and cardiac arrest, and died. Why do we do it? Medical experts argue that only several hundred of the thousands of babies inoculated had adverse reactions. That does not seem to be a comfort if one of the children who died was yours. Vaccines have become the mainstream weapon of destruction. Gangi recalls that she suffered with mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox and something called the fifth disease. She claims that her immune system got stronger having got through these diseases. But, as she entered the Marines, she was inoculated for every disease imaginable, and her body reacted negatively erythema in multi-form, nodules, vascular impairment, nerve damage, and paralysis. Few people realize the extent of vaccine-induced disease, impairment, and death. While there were ten or so mandatory vaccines in the 50 s and 60 s, today, children are expected to have an average of 36, beginning often at two days old and continuing into young adulthood. The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, sub acute lupus, erthematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma. Autism has risen and SIDS is up 400%. Gangi suggests that it is from foreign particles in vaccines such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, and other toxic agents. Since the days of miracle drugs, the rates for cancer have risen. Adulterated foods are a problem. And unhealthy lifestyles do not help fast foods, little or no exercising, etc. This book is highly recommended for it s well-researched material, history, and poignant points and stories. We have everything we need to heal instead we trust a company to provide us a pill, a magic bullet. Gangi has provided a wealth of information packed into 268-pages it is sensible and you will wonder why you hadn t connected the dots earlier. Reviewer s note: Fifth disease is a viral disease common among children 5-15 years of age. Contributed by: Sue Vogan: Sue is a Writer & Author of NCO-No Compassion Observed --BookPleasures.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Empowering!, January 3, 2008

By	Alice Berger "Bergers Book Reviews" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forget the Cures, Find the Cause: Book 2: The Circle (Paperback)

If you're a firm believer in modern-day medicine and have no interest in taking care of your own body, then this book is not for you. But many people today are beginning to question the ability of their physicians to treat their whole body rather than just a set of symptoms, and they're looking for ways to take their health care into their own hands.

Rayna M. Gangi, a holistic healer with native American roots, begins this volume by providing considerable evidence that today's children are suffering much greater health risks than those of several decades ago, with the increase in vaccinations and behavior modification drugs. Chemicals in common household products and in the water they drink expose them to numerable toxins. And their diets are suffering due to soft drinks, sugary products and artificial sweeteners and colors.

She also explores the over-vaccination of pets and the poor quality of most pet foods. While the author doesn't mention the food poisoning which recently devastated many pet owners, that incident certainly does make one question what our pets are really eating.

As the circle implies, our journey begins with childhood, and this book wouldn't be complete unless it traveled the full arc into aging and death. The author touches on the concept of living life in circle, and living in harmony with the earth and its cycles. In a well-written and well-documented book, she shows us where we can make changes in our lives, so we can experience better health and happiness.

Rayna M. Gangi writes with warmth and compassion. She encourages us to ask questions, and to notice how our bodies feel when we bombard them with chemicals and mistreat them. Ultimately, she sees a world where we all respect our bodies, our environment, and each other.

By	Lauren Azzarella (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forget the Cures, Find the Cause: Book 2: The Circle (Paperback)

This book continues where Book One left off and explains in greater detail the whys and hows to self-empowerment. Rayna's writing is concise and poetic and provokes emotional responses that lead you from your mind and body into your heart and soul, and you just feel that what she says is Truth. In a world of medications and operations, depression, sexual dysfunction, degenerative disease and violent children, Forget the Cures, Find the Cause, Book Two - The Circle is an inspiration as well as a workable tool in helping us to reclaim and regain our God given right to health and happiness. A perfect gift for everyone, especially parents and grandparents as we are the keepers of our children and our next generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get both books!, September 20, 2007

By	Elsa D. Claverie (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forget the Cures, Find the Cause: Book 2: The Circle (Paperback)

Forget the Cures, Find the Cause, Book Two is an amazing testement to the knowledge and experience Rayna Gangi has in the holistic and alternative health field. Rayna shares holistic approaches to children's health including the role of parents before conception, the formative years, pre-school health problems and becoming adults. Her essays on vaccines, the health care system, grief and America are worthy of standalone applause, but included within the context of this well-written book, make it even more powerful. The Circle in relationship to Book One, the Seven Keys, continues the journey and enlightens even the casual reader to problems in our health care system and ways to overcome them. A powerful book that deserves attention.
