THIS IS NOT A SELF-HELP BOOK as I had thought. As the doctor notes on page xxxv :The framework of this book is drawn from a formal dissertational I submitted as a basis for my doctorate degree"__.

This information is not helpful for treating people who live too far from a NAET practitioner or who may not be able to afford care. As the doctor states on page 28, "This book will teach you how to test yourself and locate your problem. STEPS OF TREATMENT ARE NOT GIVEN HERE BECAUSE THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS BOOK. NAET TRAINING IS LIMITED TO ACTIVELY LICENSED MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS ONLY" The title should be, Say Good-Bye to Illness-See One Of Our Doctors. What a pity, the doctor had an opportunity to help millions of people in her book. If the kinesiology or accupressure portion of her technique works and I suspect it does in a percentage of the people, most lay people could apply it. The companion book to this one, The NAET Guide Book is of absolutely of no help as a guide book to the self help person either. As the doctor states in the Preface, "The purpose of this book is to help practitioners who treat patients with__NAET and patients who undergo NAET treatments." Just as dissapointing as in Say Good-Bye To Illness in the respect that there is no hint of the secret treatments. I believe that I am one of several thousand people who may have bought these books looking for a glimmer of hope for a loved one. Unfortunately what is cloacked as a self-help book written with the lay person in mind is disapointing in that respect. This is not to discourage those who may seek out NAET care as it appears from the testimonials it helps many conditions.

At last you have a remedy for asthma and other related allergies in Say Good-Bye to Illness by Devi S., MD Nambudripad. This book will be an eye-opener for people suffering from asthma and other such allergies.

Articles on nutrition and health maintenance are also very good. This is a really interesting book about how eating affects our health. There is a lot of useful information in here to provide much thought about what to eat. There are also interesting references for wellness products. The author does suggest you go off coffee slowly before you start the plan. This would minimize headaches during detox. I couldn't wait to get started so, of course, did it all at once and had the most horrible awful headache for 4 straight days. I finally broke down and had a 1/2 cup coffee one day instead of taking aspirin and that did the trick...for the moment. Now I'm completely caffeine-free and don't miss it at all. My doctor prescribed a wonderful replacement for coffee made from soya beans called "soyffee". I bought it online at www.S o y c o f f e e.com and cannot believe how good is the taste.

Say Good-Bye to Illness by Devi S., MD Nambudripad is highly recommended for people who are interested in learing more about asthma and other allergies.

Having an open mind is significant to overcoming illness.

This book is a welcomed read that expands on the applications of her original book. I hope more readers will take a leap of faith & discover that there is resolution to ailments outside of the clique of western medicine: Our society is so sick these days, & that in itself speaks to the efficacy of traditional western medicine without any complimentary interventions such as this book discusses.

In response to the reviewer who gave negative feedback: I went to 3 "board certified allergists to get well" over several years, and all 3 told me I had no allergies, yet prescribed corticosteroids & other medications for me attempt to quell the symptoms that were wearing me out. Interesting that I had "no allergies", but I was prescribed allergy medications.

Finally I learned about NAET, and after just one treatment the impact was amazing. If I had had a closed mind & let myself get wrapped up in the western-medicine-is-the-only-valid-medical-care myth, I would still be miserable.

For anyone who is willing to put aside the Western bias against other modes of healing,this book can open your eyes as you learn about an incredibly powerful tool both for detecting the causes of disease and treating them naturally and effectively! If open-minded(you can't pour water into a closed bottle)this book,written for both medical professionals and patients,can and will change your life. I encourage you to buy it,read it,a nd step through.

As soon as I bought this book, I was intrigued by the possibilities it offered compared to traditional medicine with the only possibility of avoidance or desensitization with injections. This new treatment that Dr. Nambudripad offers seems to be non-invasive and safe. However, the results sold me on the idea. I visited an NAET practitioner in Vancouver and was delighted by the whole protocol of the treatment. It doesn't hurt and can definitely stop allergies, like my cat hair allergy. I recommend this book and treatment=)
