Customer Review: A+
Excellent workout DVD. I’ve always been looking for good workout DVDs. The ABS Diet 2 is great for intermediate/advanced levels, which most available workout routines do not offer.
Customer Review: well rounded workout
The ABS diet plan/ideology has been the only one that my body has responded to and stuck to. It’s the diet/lifestyle itself that’s the most important to follow, and will shed the pounds and increase lean mass. As for this dvd, the workouts address all the muscle groups. I like the fact that you can mix and match the different phases of the dvd based on your workout schedule (i.e. warmup + ab workout + strength training). Not that it’s a drastic flaw, but the only thing I didn’t like was that the instructor uses the same weight dumbells for all exercises, but I just would swap dumbells in between the diff’t exercises. Overall, it’s worth the money, and it’s not as boring/repetitious as other workouts thanks to the mix/match feature.

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health

Referred to as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

Customer Review: World scientist proves vegan diet can cure the killer diseases - cancer, heart, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, etc.
I couldn’t put this book down. The information in this book has the potential to revolutionize American and possibly even world health using the proper food to eliminate the big killer diseases such as heart disease and cancer. We talk about national health insurance, but the best insurance we can have is to follow the ideas presented in this book. The ideas are so simple to implement. What you eat is directly affecting your health. This book will explain why and what to do about it so you can return to health and stay that way. Following the guidelines in this book changed the health of my family for the better. After reading the findings in this book we could no longer eat as we had been, and we thought we had been eating a healthy diet, but we both had some health issues and I’m a cancer survivor. After reading the book, I would say that the cancer can most likely be attributed to my typical American diet. So we changed overnight to the diet Campbell suggests for the health benefits. I feel better than I have in years. Yet this book is timely for more than just the way to individual health, but to the health of our land as well. Our heavy reliance on animal protein in our diet along with industrial style farming practices are turning much of our country into a desert and destroying the nutritive quality of the soil. Animal grazing practices all over the world have already created desert. We need to restore the health of our soil. A country that cannot maintain healthy soil cannot feed its people, and animal grazing is destroying that soil. With more people on the planet to feed than at any time in history, we need to turn to a vegetable diet anyway if we are going to feed everyone. Our numbers continue to grow. You do the math. Eating according to this book presents a solution not only to personal health but to feeding a nation. I’ve bought multiple copies of the book, the CD version as well and have been telling everyone I know about this book so they can return to health and/or stay that way. Many thanks to the authors for presenting this information. Enjoyable, totally accessible.
Customer Review: Lets start with the title…
Its a bit hard to write a review of this book because I am not sure where to start. The title would be the best place, but that is where the greatest flaw lies. The title of the book talks about the China Study, unfortunately very little coverage is given to the actual study except to say how it was conducted and a brief review of the results. The rest of the book is filled with aggressive arguments for the reader to become vegetarian, moaning about the current state of nutrition, and talking about how great the author thought he was by receiving multiple grants. The argument for the conversion to vegetarianism dominated the majority of the available pages. The author cited journals but often used older journals and drew some quick conclusions. While its true that there were some good points in the book, I would suggest reading a condensed version on Wikipedia. That way you can learn about the research without having to hear the author talk about his friends and how great of a job he did in the oft mentioned but rarely discussed China Study.

Ancient Secrets Ceramic Nasal Cleansing Pot, 1 Neti Pot

March 25th, 2008


Ancient Secrets Ceramic Nasal Cleansing Pot, 1 Neti Pot
This gentle and effective nasal irrigation technique is widely recommended by health practitioners as a wonderful way to improve your overall well-being and maintain vibrant health.

Customer Review: Keep your nose clean- a must for modern hygiene
I purchased this product last spring because I was desparate; my allergy symptoms had become unbearable. I had tried over the counter medication with little success and prescription medication with little success and scary side effects. The first use was extremely unpleasant, reminiscent of various childhood misadventures in lakes and pools. Afterwards, I could breathe again and within a day or so, my allergy symptoms faded. That was well worth a few minutes of discomfort. I have used it almost every day for the past nine months and I can honestly say that it was the best $14 dollars I ever spent.

My advice to new neti pot users:

1). Read and follow the directions very carefully.

2). Have a handkerchief or an old towel or a soft paper towel ready. In my experience, a tissue will be too flimsy.

3). Make sure the water is lukewarm. If it is too hot or too cold, you will be uncomfortable.

4). Use only fine sea salt with NO IODINE.

5). Make sure the salt is completely dissolved. Clumps of salt in your nose are not good.

6). If you are so congested that the water will not flow through, try taking a warm shower or bath to loosen it and then try the neti pot again.

I have recommended neti pots to several friends and coworkers. Some thought they sounded gross and silly, but the ones who actually tried a neti pot have thanked me again and again. If you live or work in an area with high levels of pollen, mold, dust or pollution, do your nose a great favor and try a neti pot. I would not be surprised if at some point they become as common in bathrooms as toothbrushes or razors.

Customer Review: Great Product!
Anyone who’s ever stuck their nose in a cup of warm saline water in order to clear their sinus should use this product. It makes the whole process much easier and more comfortable. I use it every morning.

Duracell Crank Light 3 in 1, 3 LED Flashlight, Radio, Charger. 2 pack
This Duracell multi-purpose radio/flashlight/charger is a great addition to any emergency or survival kit. This 3 in 1 unit recharges by manual hand cranking. Compact with portable head phone jack. This flashlight is great for emergency preparedness as it can be placed in cars, trucks, boats, homes, or emergency kits. It requires no maintenance, no batteries, no bulb replacements.
Price: $39.99
Customer Review: All in one
I purchase like Christmas gifts for the family, now too numerous and all adults to buy for individually. I like it to be functional and usable. I’ve always liked Duracell products because of their reliability, durability and value. This product was ideal. The phone charger in particular was what I liked about it since my car charger never seems to stay in my car. It was a pleasant surprise to one of my sisters when she tried it out to run her laptop and found it to work reasonably well. Good thing to have around if you’re ever in a “Jericho” situation.
Customer Review: Great Product !!
I received this item a few days ago and it is almost everything they claim. The flashlight is bright and stays lit for a long time. Charging with the crank is quick and easy and if you’re not in a hurry, the USB charging cable for your computer works well. It takes about 10 hours to charge fully with the USB adapter(which is what they claim.) The radio tunes well and has good volume for such a small product. The only cons I found were trying to charge my Blackberry Pearl with the USB adapter (didn’t work at all, but that’s what my car charger is for, I wanted this for the light and radio) and when I first used it, only 1 of the 3 LED’s lit. After charging it fully, they were all on. I’m not sure if this unit turns off LED’s as the batteries drain or not. I will find out in time and update my review if necessary. I highly recommend this.

PediaSure Nutrition Drink, Lactose Free, Vanilla, 8-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 24)
List Price: $55.96
Amazon Price: $47.16
Customer Review: Pediasure
I am a regular customer of Amazon. I bought this product when it is on sale. I got the thing intact. As far the product is concerned it’s always good. Because I’ve been using this for more than 4 years since my daughter is one year old. You could get this product for lesser value in Sam’s.
Customer Review: Good price, great product, but one bottle broke
This is available for a better price than I can get in my grocery store, so I’ve ordered it a couple of times. This is the first time that I’ve had a broken bottle when the box arrived. Not a manufacturer problem, but a pain. All the bottles were slimy and I had to wash them and leave them out to dry overnight. I guess that’s the downside to having it shipped. As far as the product goes, it’s a great way to get needed calories and nutrients into my 18-month-old son. He’s always been very small and his pediatrician recommended supplementing his diet with 1-2 bottles of Pediasure every day. My son drinks the full bottle eagerly every time. I brush his teeth afterward, though, because of the sugar content.

Customer Review: Rice and Shine is Great!
This is a wonderful health product. I gave some to my parents and they are now customers. My sister just got a great health report from her doctor after switching from prescription drugs for some conditions to Rice and Shine. We all love the flavors and the many ways the product can be used. Makes a great “malt” when mixed with milk and ice in the blender. We love both the vanilla and the chocolate. Try adding strawberries, bannans,etc. to the vanilla. Ummm Good! RICE N SHINE by Patty McPeak (chocolate) ~ As Seen On TV ~
Customer Review: If you like drinking sand..
I didn’t experience any of the “amazing results” that this product bragged about. Not to mention that it’s so gritty that swallowing it is like tyring to choke down dry toast. It tastes awful. The only benefit I see is the fiber content, but this method of delivery is nowhere near enjoyable. This stuff is awful, and not worth the 35 dollars that it cost. If you want fiber, eat some veggies or take a supplement. This stuff is NASTY! If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Schwinn Delta Sport Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike Customer Review: Excellent bike
This bike is a great high-end bike at a walmart price. This is lighter than my daughter’s 20″ bike, and very smooth with the full suspension. I am not an avid biker, and will only use on the trails, but looks to be able to take whatever I could dish out. The seat post issue was a familiar one as noted by other reviewer, and what I have done is to take a hack saw and saw off about 3 inches from the bottom of the seat post, which allows you to lower the seat by, you guessed it, an extra 3 inches. Thanks for reading. Dr. 9
Customer Review: Seatpost too long for size small
I bought size small (16″) but the seatpost is the same for all sizes (300 mm). Even at its lowest position, the seat is at least 32 inches from the pedal. I contacted Schwinn but they could not help me on this issue. A 250 mm seatpost would be ideal for size small. No other complaints so far.
