I like it that this book tackles the most popular health problems, causes, symptoms, and recommendations. These are some of the contemporary topics anybody would be interested to know about. I won't care about it's length due to my curiosity to know about the topics. Thanks for this nice review.

Thank you for your review, however is sounds like a self-help for heavy thinkers and appears to really not be my cup of tea. I will attempt a chapter or two just to keep an open mind though.

While the content matter seems intriguing, Western philosophy centered around medicine isn't usually my preferred material. I think there is a lot some may be able to take and learn from this book, but reading over the first few sample pages made it clear that this one is not for me, and your review solidified this! While I'm not particular to one religion I don't necessarily appreciate books that go after christianity either, and the egregious amount of errors in this one is definitely a deal breaker! Thank you for the review.

I am very interested in alternative healing and similar subjects, so this book sounds very interesting to me. This is an interesting review as well and it seems to raise more points about the book that sound as if it goes beyond mere alternative healing, but also raises issues about our existence and the nature of the world that we live in. I look forward to reading this book a lot.

It's always nice to look at all your options when it comes to medication, therefore I think this book could be very useful. Too bad about the bad editing though, that could really make a book a lot less enjoyable.
Thanks for the review, it was great.

As a person who's very interested in mental health and natural remedies, I think I'll enjoy this. I'm looking forward to picking it up, just hope it doesn't read too much like a lecture. Thank you for the review!

This book starts out very interesting. I have an emergency medical background and found the information very accurate and thorough. I wanted to read more to see where it would lead. The review is interesting as the person is a believer in Allah and has a different viewpoint than I do. I wonder if I will get same experience out of this book as the reviewer? However the perception, the one thing that does not change is that we should all be seeking solutions to the grave dangers of diseases discussed in this book, including the mental health disorders.

Thanks for the review. Though I’m not exactly into these kind of books, the aspect of other methods of healing apart from modern medicine is captivating. But I’ll pass on reading this.

I do believe in some alternative medicine (although not all) so this book would be one that I would probably enjoy reading. Thank you for an interesting review!

Thanks for the I insight into a book I am considering reading. I am interested in the topics you mentioned, but my first thought about this book was that it would be a repeat of information I've already read in 100 self help books. According to your review, I think I might gain something from it after all. However, I'm not sure I could stand the syntax and spelling errors you mentioned.

"Awaken you wonderful we: How do we create heaven on earth? The secret of one page table reveal all the real causes of all phe" by Van Duy Dao seems like an interesting book for lovers of this genre. I am not a fan of controversial issues about religion, so, I think I will pass on this one.

While this does seem like a particularly long publication, the first few chapters tend to come across a bit disjointed. The information is presented in a manner that doesn't flow effortlessly but one can be particularly peeved by the grammatical incoherence in the opening chapter alone. I was trying to get a sense as to which particular road the author was heading down, as he relied heavily on scientific data from other sources but was unable to ascertain his motive or reasoning.

Where I live, alternative medicines and Eastern philosophies are quite prevalent due to the ethnic mix of the population. While I'm almost sure that the information in this book will be completely new to me, I think I might just look into it because of that.

Books about holistic therapies, medicine and philosophy do not tend to capture my attention. The fact that this needs some editing and reorganizing has put me off further. I'll pass this time.
