Poorly written, poorly produced

I teach healing and was looking for a text I could refer to. The book is a big disappointment. While some of the content may be good, it is so poorly organized it is difficult to find information on a specific subject. Published on cheap paper in small font, the book has neither a long shelf life nor readability for seniors or those who are battling illness. Lot of hype... little to show for it. Forget it... google the ailment on line.

Bottom Line

I purchased this book and in only five minutes knew I had been ripped off by Bottom Line Books. I not only was charged the S&H but had to pay to return the book for credit, and still don't have a credit for it. Bottom Line...don't buy it!
So-so

The number of recommendations in both books are numerous but each entry is brief giving a step-by-step description of what to do. Typically each category, say, sleeplessness, has maybe 2 or 3 ideas. There is no description of the ideas' efficacy, balancing view, or where the idea came from. They do indicate who the author of the idea is and that person may be a professor somewhere or even an MD not affilicated with a teaching school.
Should be "billed" as a joke book!!!

My mom bought me this book, she was hoping it might help me "help myself"; I am currently going through chemo therapy for Hodgkins disease. Of course this (along w/ most other books of this type) suggest that if you follow their advice you can "cure" yourself of cancer, along w/ numerous other diseases. God bless my mom, but she tends to be very gullible, especially if she sees it on T.V.; she tends to think "well, it's on T.V., it must work", I just hope that after he last couple purchases of products she has seen on T.V. her mind set has changed a bit. This book is very evasive, not wanting to say specifics in regards to "curing" yourself of diseases like cancer. It constantly points to other publications (of which if you want to know what they say, you have to buy the book).

This book was nothing but crap, and they got me for both shipping charges. It took them two months to credit my card. Then in the mail I am getting scam letters about secret societies and how lucky I am to have been selected. These people are horrible people.6/16/2006 - Solita writes:
I do not want to spend too much time on the computer or writing complaints but I feel that it is important to warn the rest of you out there who may get entice to call the 1-800 as you may be, just like me, be captivated by the great infomercial advocating this book. Warning!!! DO NOT fall for this. Do not call the 1-800 and make a big mistake by giving your credit card number to these people!!! Please. A concern citizen, Solita4/17/2006 - Jimmie writes:
I ordered the book's and they were never received and, customer service say's payment was made, I have waited since January and this is April. still have not received the book's. from what I read I guess I am out the money anyway if it is such a scam. live and learn.The book in question is the World's Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets and it is brought to us by Martin Edelston and Bottom Line Publishing. It doesn't take a Mega Memory to realize that the bottom line is all that this company is concerned about because it has unleashed a torrent of misleading health advice on a public who, after the overwhelming success of K-Tru's book, does not appear to be capable of discerning fiction from reality when comes to anything, let alone their health.
The book is already being pitched on infomercials typical of the healthfraud industry. You know, the ones where an interview takes place between the credulous host and thetouting "medical" expert on a faux news program with a name like Health Update, Inside Health, of Tammy Faye Baker's Credible Happy Fun Time Health Hour. At least that is what I imagine one being called in Japan. It is of course all set up to fool people into thinking that they are watching actual journalism and not an infomercial. Why a real news report would flash prices in the right hand corner of the screen or warn watchers to order now to qualify for a special sale should be a question that consumers ponder but at three o'clock in the morning there are usually certain roadblocks to rationalism present such as fatigue, booze, and Totino's microwave pizzas.
The website for the book opens, in bold red letters, with "Meet the Greatest Medical Team Ever Assembled! The world's greatest traditional and alternative doctors join forces at last... and their findings could extend your life by 40 happy, healthy years." Now that's what I call a hook. The greatest medical team every assembled! Now for me that would be Doogie Howser MD, the ladies from Strong Medicine, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and Nurse Ratchet. But the folks at Bottom Line Publishing have lined up such stellar contributors of the advancement of modern medicine as Dr. Joyce Brothers, Deepak Chopra, and author of The Zone diet book, Barry Sears.
It supposedly contains secrets that drop your cholesterol 50 points with a 2 minute snack, cure Alzheimer's, make you stroke proof, and make breast cancer disappear in one day. I don't trust this book and it's health secrets any more than I trust Kevin Trudeau's.
