The Ellipsis Manual: analysis and engineering of human behavior
“The Ellipsis Manual is the kind of book that used to be locked away...deep in a vault underground...far away from the prying eyes of those who could misuse its power. With chapter titles like ‘Methods of physically hacking the brain’ and ‘Shutting off human willpower,’ what you’re about to learn could make even the most well-trained CIA operative blush... And that’s what leads me to say that if you’re going to pick up your copy of The Ellipsis Manual today, you’ve got to make a firm commitment not to go to the dark side with this material. -Hijack peoples’ deepest thoughts, feelings, and favorite gestures...and leverage them to your advantage. Implant whatever ideas and beliefs you want into the minds of people you want to persuade, control, or seduce. ...and a WHOLE lot more. It shows how to make a real life Manchurian Candidate complete with alternate personalities and amnesia.

"So I quit my job and school and took time off, expecting to recuperate within a few months. I suffered severe chemical and mold sensitivities and began to develop hives. I'm not a dramatic person by nature, but I assure you, some days I wasn't sure how much sicker one could get before the body just gave up altogether. Finally, a few months ago I happened upon some website extolling the GAPS diet. I looked into it but figured I was already eating a clean (mostly) paleo diet, so I didn't need to buy this book. When I had to stay home on Christmas day because I felt so toxic and crummy, I decided to purchase the book. I had been toxic for so long that I was used to feeling lousy, but the die-off this diet produced was intense. The diet alone, even without the introduction of probiotics, sauerkraut, and kefir was enough to produce rapid die-off. However, since starting GAPS I have stopped taking the majority of my supplements, simply because I no longer need them. At long last, my diet is providing the nutrients my body has been needing all along for repair (particularly cholesterol and saturated fats, which are sadly demonized in our culture). I probably sound like a crazy person because I'm so, so excited about this book and this diet; but if you're sick like I was, you know all too well what it's like to live in a chronically ill body. Because I'm having such rapid success on the intro phase, I intend to stick with it for a few months. That's the nice thing about this diet; you move at your own pace and let your body be the guide. I'm also curious to see how this diet helps me with the mental health issues I've contended with since childhood (namely fits of debilitating anxiety, ocd, and depression that have become increasingly severe in the last few years). I had tried several SSRI's over the last ten years until a new doctor put me on Adderall (which is nothing more than a mixture of amphetamine salts and is very, very hard on the adrenals) after diagnosing me with ADHD. Reading success stories of people recovering from CFS is what got me through the worst moments. I hope my story does the same, and I will update again in a few months as I progress along my GAPS journey. I no longer seem to be affected by pollen, which in previous years gave me terrible allergies and sinus infections. I've lost 15 pounds and walk an hour or more just about daily in addition to my chores around the house. There has been no improvement on the mental stuff yet; in fact, the die-off seems to be temporarily making it much worse. I'm experiencing new die-off symptoms (caused by breaking up biofilm in my gut with probiotics and systemic enzymes, I believe) like visual disturbances, rosacea and other rashes, adrenaline rushes, numbness/tingling/burning in my extremities. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to have some relief from this torment for the first time in over ten years (most of my adult life). It takes a long time to undo decades' worth of damage. In my case, after the infection is gone, I will still need to detox, fix my adrenals completely, get my metabolic hormones back in order, and perhaps chelate. Thanks to all of you who have commented or contacted me over the past year; it's been wonderful swapping stories and information. I am still quite toxic but can now tolerate an infrared sauna, which is great for detox, every other day. The little things that used to require so much effort are back to being a routine part of my life, i.e. doing my hair, wearing make-up, etc. There are still periods every few weeks of fatigue and die-off, where my IBS symptoms act up, anxiety and brain fog skyrocket, and I feel rough. I have read most of the other reviews here, and I am so happy about and moved by how much this diet is helping people with chronic, so-called "untreatable" conditions."
"I initially picked up this book because it had been getting discussion on an autism parenting group that I belong to. I started to learn about the diet by reading information online, then decided it was potentially worth pursuing further and purchased the book. However, as I read the book, I realized that I needed to try this diet for my own issues as well, extreme PMS and major digestive issues (which turned out to be ulcerative colitis, as diagnosed via colonoscopy 3 months after I had started the diet). There are a few other foods we typically don't eat much of either, based on working with a Nurse Practitioner who is also GAPS Certified. My daughter was sick with strep throat multiple times a year as well as extreme sinus issues. The doctors were urging us to have her tonsils and adenoids removed, yet could not guarantee that would solve the issue. After I got my colitis diagnosis, I held off taking the medication for 4.5 months, thinking that the diet would "cure" me. And then I recently started a high dose of prescription probiotics, which has helped even more. Just for my daughter and me, I typically have 3 loads of dishes in the dishwasher throughout the day, plus all the things that need to be hand washed. When we were on Intro Diet, I would have between 3 and 5 loads of dishwasher dishes going plus all the things that had to be hand washed. However, I know a few adults that are on this diet without the considerations of a child, and they also complain about the work it takes, and the several loads of dishes to clean each day. I wish that Dr. Natasha (author of GAPS Diet), would stress that it can be beneficial to seek out additional, more personalized medical advice. There is an additional website with more up to date information that needs to be checked fairly often for updates. How in the world do you explain to an 8 year old child who has been slowly going through Intro Diet and has been doing this for a year that you are going to have to backtrack and spend 6+ months only eating broth, boiled meats and boiled vegetables, and raw egg yolks. This diet is very emotional and I find that even being farther along on it that I tend to have low morale with all the work and being exhausted with it. When we initially started this diet, the information was to move through the stages once you no longer see "reactions" or symptoms improve. And now all of the sudden the information is that if certain things have not improved, go back and stay in Stage 2 for 6+ months. And, it is important to know that the diet also draws heavily from Traditional Dietary guidelines as put forth by the Weston A. Price Foundation (google that), along with the cookbook Nourishing Traditions (can be found on amazon). Although not specifically addressing the same issues, there are many more Paleo blogs with recipes online than GAPS. Paleo recipes sometimes require some easy modification of either leaving out an ingredient or two or substituting."

Reviews
"It is a great book about a specific approach to acupuncture, from the legacy of Jeffrey Yuen."
"This book should occupy an easily reachable place on every acupuncturist's bookshelf."
"In my earlier review of “Dynamic Pulses,” a extremely thin book describing dynamic pulse-taking, I noted that the author was working on a much larger exposition of pulses. This is the pulse-taking book we now have the time to explore."
"Amazing manual for any student or practitioner of Chinese Medicine who doesn't feel confident in pulse diagnosis ."
"A few moments ago, I finished reading this thorough, informative, thoughtful, valuable and beautifully written book from cover to cover. Each day I am in practice I apply little bits and pieces of the knowledge I have gained from her book and I imagine this book will continue to be indispensable in my practice."
"This book presents a three dimensional observational view of the pulse."
"A modern day classic and work of art in and of itself, The Art of Pulse Diagnosis elucidates the intricacies of Pulse taking on both a physical and energetic level."
"It is clear Ann Cecil-Sterman is utterly dedicated to transcribing the complex and beautiful approach to pulse diagnosis as taught by Jeffery Yuan."
