proceed with caution before ordering this. there are several editions about! 19 Nov 2011

By Kulotta Mav - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

there are multiple versions of this book out, and all share the same isbn. a 1993 first edition pb can have 190 pages or 246 pages. the 2004 second edition (shown in the pictures, even though the listing details are for the 1993 1st edition) has 300+ pages with new material and updates.

I ordered this book, thinking I was getting the 2004 second edition pictured, with bob flaws annotations. what I received was neither the 246 page 1st edition book listed nor the second edition book pictured, but rather the very first edition of 190 pages.

take the time to write to your seller first and be certain of which version you are getting!

Very interesting book 8 Oct 2010

By K. Gorbatov - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

In this book discussed mechanisms of illness arizing, principals of curing them and clinical examples. Quite a lot of interesting passages, like "Liver can not be healthy if man has a lot of unfulfilled desires". Very impressive clinical examples, like 10 years of diabet type 2 was cured fast. Not everything is clear, as assumed that readers know well inernal structure and connections inside human body. Propably it is as well translation issue. Anyway, it is one of the best books availible on market.
