Summary: A must have for your Massage Colection
Review: I am currently enrolled in massage school, and because I love books so much I am thrilled when a new required book is added to the list. As we are learning accupressure in our school, this book is a major reference point, as it is for most schools, I believe. Yet the instructions and explanations are precise enough that anyone could use this book if they are interested in this work. With a back ground in energy work or cranialsacral this will expand your knowledge immensely. My one and only hang up; I don't really care for the pictures. While they are fine pictures of procedure, they seem to be taken from an original idea that happened in the 70's or something, and I feel it detracts from the modern, educational feel of the book, but in no way does it compromise the information- which is vast! Also included are great protocol tips, an extensive bibliography and suggested reading list and good anatomy diagrams. Information is presented in a nice sized text, in easy column format with room for highlighting and notes, if needed. As far as information and diagrams go, this book has everything you need for accupressure!

Summary: One of the best books on health for a lay person
Review: I came across TFH in my quest to be more relaxed on stage (I am a violinist) and help back problems. I was intrigued by this because a) it is a combination of Eastern and Western medical knowlege and b) a friend had done some on me and I felt great. I took the classes and it was so easy that I immediately used what I'd learned on fellow musicians, actors, dancers, and helped my friends when they got sick. Needless to say, people soon started lining up backstage in hopes of a treatment! I recommend the classes but the book is so thorough that you don't even need them. The book is mostly very clear diagrams of the muscles, acupressure points and energy meridians, and explains what to do with them very succinctly in the beginning of the book. And I definitely get over colds and flu faster since I use TFH right away when I feel under the weather.

Summary: Wonderful Health Tool For All
Review: I have been using Touch for Health as a part of my life for almost 20 years. I can't imagine life without it. After learning a few basic premises & techniques (more readily learned with experienced assistance) it allows a lay person to utilize acupressure effectively! If that isn't enough to amaze you, the applied kinesiology allows an individual to ask the brain direct questions and to receive direct, correct, answers about the body's condition. Kinesiology can be used to determine if the body needs a substance (vitamins, minerals), and if so how much. It also can be used to determine what food items cause negative reactions. Regular practical use of Touch for Health will teach the user to better understand the interrelation between the body's different components, thereby making many health mysteries understandable. Most amazing is that nothing in this review is hyperbole, but rather, understatement! Using Touch for Health helps an individual discover one of the most important secrets of life: that human touch is so much more than just sex or punishment. YOU can learn the magic of `the laying on of hands.'

Summary: Many errors here - needs revision
Review: I just spent my last 2 weekends taking Level I and II of the Touch for Health series of classes. We spent a lot of our time correcting things in the book that have changed since it was last revised. If you do not have the opportunity to take the class and find out about all the changes, I would recommend Eden's book Energy Medecine as an alternative. In fact, I would recommend it as a complement even if you do the TFH class.

Summary: Home Health Care
Review: I remember when I first came across this book many years ago. I was intrigued. I practiced what I could from the book, then took a beginner's class in TFH. Eventually I took their instructor training and I was on my way. Now after 25 years of private practice in Natural Healing I still find that I am using the applied kinesiology that I learned in this book. Even though I have gone on to advanced formal trainings and studied in many countries around the world, I can still recommend this book for people who want to learn a lot about self care from a single book. Several methods of treatment are covered including meridian therapy, stimulation of neuro-vascular points, neuro-lymphatic points and acupressure. You will find that many of the techniques shown can be utilized immediately for your health and the health of your family. One caution: This book has a tremendous amount of information packed in very concisely. It may lead you to additional studies for the rest of your life. I hope it does. It did for me.

Can not review what I can not buy.....

Summary: Great Book!
Review: We learnt the Touch For Health system several years ago and have been impressed with its effectiveness. We also teach Reiki, chi kung and other forms of energy work. Understanding the way energy flows through the body and where the blockages are is key to Touch for Health. We have yet to find anyone it did not help. As for the placebo effect, well, ask my dog....
