Baby Bargains
September 8th, 2009
What’s good about this book
The authors buy the items themselves so they are motivated to tell the truth and not side with any one manufacture over another.
What I didn’t like about this book
I don’t like the way they put down the book, What to Eat When Your Expecting; you should make your own decision on that one. The model offered in What to Eat When Your Expecting is an ideal and if we aim for an ideal then we will be doing better than we would otherwise. Especially good sections to read Products that are a waste of money.
What I didn’t like/would change/wouldn’t recommend about this book
I don’t like the way they put down the book, What to Eat When You’re Expecting; you should make your own decision on that one. (One of their reasons for not getting it is because it’s a sequel. Well, Baby Bargains is a sequel too.) The eating model offered in that book is an ideal and if we aim for an ideal then we will be doing better than we would have otherwise. (Sugar is NOT a food group and the authors of What to Eat When You’re Expecting know that.)
Especially good sections to read
Products that are a waste of money. (Seems contradictory, doesn’t it?)
What to skip
Sections on items that don’t apply to you or your child’s needs.
When to get this book
With enough time to read before the baby comes since you’ll want to do your shopping well ahead of time.
Final Comments
As always you should take things to heart and see how they feel to you and your gut when making decisions.

About this book
Here is yet more information from Arnold Ehret on his methods of healing the body and returning it to vibrant health. This book focuses on the role fasting plays in healing the body of any disease.
Conclusions
This book can be used in conjunction with his Mucusless Diet Healing System. I enjoyed reading this book and getting a clearer picture of the role fasting plays and how it can be done safely. Read this book before you go and do a fast yourself. Also check with your health care practitioner before changing your diet or your lifestyle and especially before fasting.

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
March 21st, 2009
What this book is about
This is another adventure story that shifts paradigms and opens up the consciousness to a whole new world of possibilities. One reluctant messiah mentors another and the results range from interesting to humorous and outright outrageous all with the result of learning and passing the torch.
My impressions
I really loved this book because it was an adventure story that also shifted my paradigm and opened my mind and consciousness to infinite possibilities. We can master this world and help others but realize that we all have a mission in life. Cool book…
If you were a messiah, would you be reluctant?

What this book is about
In this beautifully illustrated book, three children meet their new neighbor, Stillwater, a panda who teaches them Zen through the example of his life, his experiences with them and the stories he tells them.
My experience
I really enjoyed reading this to my daughter and she enjoyed the stories of the children’s experiences with the panda and the stories he tells them. She’s 7 so she had a lot of questions afterward.
Law of attraction caution
For those of you who don’t want to read anything to your children that they don’t want to experience you should know that one of the stories the panda tells is about a robber. Of course, the person being robbed (the panda’s uncle) gave the robber everything he had (which was only his robe) since the robber obviously needed it more than he did.
Conclusions
I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading the other ones that are available or getting the stuffed panda. The pictures are beautiful and the stories inspiring.
