Find Best Price at Amazon"I read articles, explored websites, perused product information from various hemp oil producers and queried folks on facebook. But thankfully, while reading conflicting reviews of different CBD products on Amazon, I came across this book. The book has just enough scientific and medical info to explain how and why CBD works as medicine; this gave me confidence that hemp oil is not just a fad, placebo or snake oil. While the book would clearly be useful for those in the nursing profession, it is equally important and accessible to the lay reader, and I fear you might lose many potential readers who assume that it's a book written primarily for nurses. Also, I hope that you will decide to offer the book in a print version as well; some folks don't have access to e-readers; and some of us just prefer having a hard to copy to underline and highlight and reference repeatedly; it's just easier in "book" form!"
"After reading this very comprehensive book I have been enormously pleased to share it with many of my friends, especially those who didn't know much about hemp oil."
"This is the second copy I have ordered."

A life-changing story. Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat is the story of a doctor who, at first, doesn't always listen; of the patients he serves; of their caregivers; and, most importantly, of a cat who teaches by example, embracing moments of life that so many of us shy away from. "This touching and engaging book is a must-read for more than just cat lovers; anyone who enjoys a well-written and compelling story will find much to admire in its unlikely hero." Dosa starts to pay more attention to the cat's decidedly odd behavior, noticing that Oscar seeks out the dying, snuggles with the patient and family members until the patient passes; with others, he smells the patient's feet, sits outside a closed door until admitted, or refuses to leave a dying patient's bed.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"As a scientist and researcher he maintains a kind of healthy skepticism about Oscar's "abilities", but I am certain that after hearing so many people describe the same events (they sound quite repetitive after a while) about the cat's behaviour in the face of a human's death, he would have experienced some kind of conversion of heart."
"The most important lesson was that no amount of memory loss should be considered normal; that all memory loss should be worked up so that steps can be taken if necessary to intervene in a case of true Alzheimer's."
"My wife's mother was actually one of the patients at this facility."
"For me the book was not really about Oscar but an attempt to demystify the relentless process of progressive decline in the dementia sufferer and the challenges encountered by those who are closest to them. I am not sure that an early diagnosis dementia sufferer should read it."
"I enjoyed this book so much, first of all because I love cats and second because mu husband has dementia and is in a long term care facility."

It can also be the perfect gift of guidance, encouragement, and uplifting inspiration to family, friends, and loved ones struggling with the many terrifying or disheartening life changes that come so close on the heels of a diagnosis of a chronic condition or life-threatening illness. Toni's engaging teaching style shares traditional Buddhist wisdom in a format that is accessible to all readers." "Toni Bernhard's book, How To Be Sick--A Buddhist's Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers , is an invitation to gently set aside the fear and the fight in order to truly live. Faced with ongoing disabling symptoms, forced to give up her profession, and unable to take part in most of the activities she loves, Bernhard has dug into the roots of the Buddhism she once studied intensively, looking for resources to cope with such devastating loss. She clearly explains how such Buddhist principles as the four noble truths, impermanence, no-self, and dependent origination help her cope with limited energy and frequent enforced solitude. No longer able to meditate formally, Bernhard describes a set of easy mental practices, drawn from her own daily experiences as well as vipassana (insight meditation), Zen koans, Tibetan Buddhist compassion exercises, and the "inquiry" technique of author Byron Katie, a practice for working with thoughts. Bernhard's applications of Buddhism are sound and her insights gentle and honest; others may take heart from her determination to use the Buddha's timeless wisdom to ease the mental suffering brought about by unrelieved physical illness." Toni Bernhard's hard-won wisdom dealing with chronic illness teaches us how to be kind to ourselves, to counter negative thoughts about our life and our health, and to live fully in the present--neither regretting the past nor fearing the future.

"All of the Buddhist teachings are in the back of the book so you can look at them without going back into the story."
"Toni Bernhard is both realistic and inspiring, giving many examples and exercises that show ways to enjoy and treasure what we do have and can do, while also accepting the limitations life imposes on us."

MI has fundamentally changed the way we think about working with less motivated clients, especially in today's health care climate, with its emphasis on evidence-based brief treatments. --Scott T. Walters, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Health Behavior and Health Systems, University of North Texas Health Science Center; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). It is a 'must-adopt' text for courses in psychology, counseling, social work, mental health, addictions, and health care more broadly."

The book illustrates clinical case examples to prepare psychiatrists who work in all different types of settings....This is a user-friendly, engaging, and comprehensive text that should be required reading for all practicing clinicians."

"It arrived on time and the book looks as described."
"Written for use in nutrition courses yet easy enough to read without previous knowledge, this book presents the basic concepts of nutrition in an informative way with an interesting style of writing and a pleasing overall appearance. A textbook's primary purpose is to inform the reader of its chosen topic and Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies is no different. The knowledge is also presented in a way that helps readers apply the nutritional information to their own diet making it practical as well. This helps the reader to understand things right from the very beginning of carbohydrate synthesis and lays the foundation for further information on the topic."
"It was worn down and seemed as if something had been spilt on it."
"Great book for my college nutrition classes."
"I found this to be a good book on the subject of nutrition in terms of increasing my general understanding (I didn't come w/ a great deal of scientific info on the topic)."
"Just what I needed for class."
"This book was very boring."
