In short, they mirror all of our problems.

"This guide offers a concise but thorough overview of ten of the most useful natural healing methods, followed by an alphabetical listing of health problems and their remedies. The therapies include vitamins and minerals, herbs, naturopathy, homeopathy and cell salts, amino acids, acupressure, aromatherapy, flower essences, gemstones and gem essences, and emotional healing. Descriptions are clear and illustrations are frequent, informative and easily understood. The listing of dis-eases and remedies is remarkably practical, and while certainly not exhaustive, many of the common health problems of women are covered, everything from herpes and migraines to AIDS, heart disease and PMS. For each of these disorders, a variety of approaches are suggested, including diagrams of acupressure points, herbal tincture recipes, visualization exercises, homeopathic remedies, helpful vitamins, foods, flower essences, aromas and gems. This is not an encyclopedia, but a practical tool for holistic healing." - WomanSource. Remainder mark.

Joseph H Gelberman
Illness, seen as an imbalance or disharmony, is a wake-up call for self-inquiry. In Physician of the Soul, Rabbi Joseph Gelberman reveals how to answer this call, exploring healing through meditation, affirmation, visualization, enhanced awareness, and prayer. Drawing on the imagery and philosophy of the 2,000-year-old Kabbalah tradition, he describes the importance of cultivating a deeper understanding of self; forming a mutually supportive partnership with God; and maintaining a joyful, positive outlook, especially in the face of adversity. He suggests meditations focused on the Kabbalah's Tree of Life, a "cosmic map of consciousness," as a way to tune in to a higher consciousness. Gelberman's path to good health also includes exercises to promote harmony in the body and techniques using intuition and imagination. Remainder mark.

Howard Brody
Did you know that you'll heal faster after surgery if you see trees and grass outside your window than if you're looking at a brick wall; after asthmatic children were given vanilla aroma to use with their inhalers, their asthma eventually improved in response to the vanilla alone, even when the inhalers contained no active drug; some patients who had sham angina surgery performed in a double-blind experiment showed improvements lasting six months or more, which their physicians could not distinguish from the results in patients who had had the real surgery; when Japanese teenagers, who were allergic to a tree similar to poison ivy, were touched with leaves from a harmless chestnut tree, they developed severe rashes - when touched with the poisonous leaves but told they were chestnut, they had no reaction whatsoever. According to Brody, the placebo response - which he pronounces mysterious and unknowable at its very heart - occurs when healing signals, assigned meaning, and human expectations converge, stimulating the body's innate healing powers. Positive mental and emotional reactions to a medical intervention release what Brody calls the "inner pharmacy." Even if the treatment is in essence benign, the body's biochemical pathways are still stimulated, inducing healing in the same manner actual medicines do. Remainder mark.

Jane Plant & Gill Tidey
The bestselling author of Your Life in Your Hands has now written The Plant Programme, a collection of recipes for fighting breast cancer. Plant developed breast cancer in 1987 and as a scientist was frustrated by the lack of answers on why cancer develops, and what we can do to cure and prevent it. She discovered one startling fact that she couldn't ignore - that 1 in 10 women in the UK will develop breast cancer whereas the incidence in China is just 1 in 10 thousand. From this she went on to study the links between lifestyle and diet and drew some controversial conclusions - most notably she recommended the avoidance of all kinds of dairy produce and the adoption of a largely vegan diet. The Plant Programme is a collection of recipes and dietary advice that follows this approach. Before the recipes the principles behind the diet are explained.
