“America’s top learning expert shows how every child can succeed,” says the book jacket, and well he does. Dr. Levine has proven his expertise in understanding and appreciating the varied minds in the world. He is encouraging, understanding and even enthusiastic about all the possibilities there are to help people succeed.

The author explains with excellent examples the learning difficulties or strengths we’re born with and how to maximize their worth. Teachers and parents alike would benefit from reading this book with its careful explanations of what makes everyone unique. He further helps us understand why we need to build on the minds we’re working with instead of trying to put them in identical slots and on set programs where each person must fit into a mold.

The reader comes away with a new appreciation for the differences of individuals while understanding that each has a place in the world and each can succeed. His methods of helping aren’t hard nor impossible, but they need to be understood. He helps us know why someone is good at one talent or skill while another is lost; he also defends that lost one because his/her talents and skills are in another area of importance.

Dr. Levine’s case studies provide examples to relate to and solutions that work. The message is one that while we can’t or shouldn’t change another’s way of thinking or doing things, we can better understand how or why they do it. He goes about it in such a sympathetic and thoughtful way that the reader’s immediate reaction is “that makes sense,” “we can surely do that” or “let’s give it a try.” Anyone reading this book will come away with a new respect for individuality, language, strengths and weaknesses, factors that affect one’s daily routine and simply how intricate and marvelous is the mind. Well written and readable, this book would benefit anyone who deals with people of any age.

The author states “as weather patterns change and reliable water supplies become more scarce, the need for expert dowsers will increase.” A successful dowser for over 50 years, Applegate presents his experience in this “how to find book,” a self-help book on how to locate water underground. This information can be used to find water anywhere in the world and includes:

• . The principles and techniques of dowsing
• . Advanced dowsing techniques
• . Advice on how to use dowsing for engineering and industrial application
• . Guidance on understanding geology and land formation
• . A wide-ranging reference section.

Applegate focuses on one field of dowsing—the development of a reliable method of finding water by making the best possible use of dowsing skills with a sound knowledge of geology. His method is a combination of physical and psychological aspects which he calls “psycho-physics.” His goal is to pass on to future generations of dowsers the methods, experience and knowledge he has accumulated during his years of successfully locating underground water worldwide and also be of benefit to mankind in general. Anyone who is concerned about water from a work point of view or because of an interest in and concern for the environment will find The Complete Guide to Dowsing of interest.

HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT CANCER WITH NATURAL MEDICINE
by Michael T. Murray, N.D.
Riverhead Books
$25.95/hardcover
356 pages



A new tool in the battle against cancer is my capsulized description of my latest book, How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine. Cancer is a dreaded disease for good reason. The biggest, perhaps, is that most of us have watched helplessly as this disease has robbed the body, mind and spirit of someone close to us. Despite dedicating significant resources in the battle against cancer, conventional medicine alone has failed. Granted, there have been some tremendous advances but for the most part, we are losing the war on cancer. One of the key reasons is that conventional medicine has long ignored the greatest healer of all—nature.

How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine, is a valuable resource that provides not only the latest information on dietary and supplementation strategies to prevent cancer but also the critical guidance that the cancer patient desperately needs in winning the battle. Whether you want to prevent, treat or deal with the side effects of conventional cancer care, my coauthors and I offer a comprehensive program of dietary measures and the proper use of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other natural measures.

If you follow the guidelines we present in this book you could reduce your cancer risk by at least two-thirds. And if you have a family history of cancer, it is even that much more important to follow the guidance we present because your cancer risk is higher. Simply stated, we provide a clear path to changing the environment within your body so that it will not support the growth of cancer. We provide a simple test to find out your relative risk for cancer and if you have cancer, we can help you provide the support you need to help you fight the disease. We also help you deal with the side effects as well as enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine provides a practical, focused program that will carefully detail how natural medicines can:

• Significantly reduce your risk for cancer.
• Effectively change the internal environment to prevent cancer formation.
• Improve the detoxification of harmful cancer causing chemicals before they have the chance to do their damage.
• Protect against chemotherapy or radiation therapy causing cancer in the future.
• Bolster the cancer patient's immune system.
• Eliminate or dramatically reduce the common side effects of chemotherapy.
• Slow down cancer growth with natural compounds that are selectively toxic to tumor cells.
• Lower the risk for recurrent tumors.
• Significantly increase the chances for partial or complete remission—a cure.

Our program given is not based upon theory. It is based upon our real-life experience working with cancer patients. We have treated thousands of cancer patients successfully with the program detailed in How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine. This experience has helped us learn firsthand what works and what does not. The book contains a massive amount of useful, practical information organized in an extremely reader friendly format. If you want to prevent cancer or if you have cancer, then you need to acquire this book.
