Summary: Very informative reference
Review: I find Body Reflexology to be very useful in my massage practice. The language and concepts are plain and easily understood. The case histories are extremely interesting. An excellent reference for anyone curious about how reflexology works all over the body, not just hands or feet.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Of course, I used to laugh at all those new age jerks who were studying horoscopes, chakras and reflex charts. However, being pretty desperate about my health, I decided to give Mrs. Carter's book a try - what could I lose, anyway?Though I found out that reflexology will not work wonders, ie. bring immediate complete healing, I was suprised to see that it had indeed some beneficial effects on my health. I had really bad digestion problems. Massaging the stomach and colon reflexes provided some very quick relief and my digestion is actually improving slowly. I also had slight potency problems, so I started to massage several sex reflexes. I have noticed an obvious improvement in my sexual performance. I have also noticed that massaging the heart reflexes provides some very quick help. I haven't yet noticed any results with my eye problems. I still have lots of work to do with my health, but Mrs. Carter's book gave me a pretty good start. It was an excellent idea of Mrs. Carter to include other kinds of advice than just reflexology in her book . For instance, she introduces a yoga exercise for instantly curing a sore throat. It doesn't heal your throat completely in an instant as Mrs. Carter claims, but sometimes it's still a great help. Of course, this book is no substitute for your brains. If you'd take Mrs. Carter's advice dead-seriously, you'd have to spend 24 hours a day massaging your reflexes. Her book seems to be directed on retired persons who have nothing to do all day long anyway. She also prates very much about God, love etc. Please don't let this keep you from reading this wonderful book. Forgive the old lady her little weaknesses. This book is so good that a few flaws that are in it aren't really disturbing at all.

Summary: Nuggets not worth the price
Review: There were nuggets of good information in Ms Carter's book, however, it is not a reference I would recommend. Her style of writing is rambling and disorganized. Most of the book consisted of Ms Carter crowing about her miraculous cures of thousands rather than a scientific, nuts and bolts approach to reflexology. Some of her 'facts' were false and patently ridiculous. Her sources were not well documented, preventing discerning readers from checking the facts or doing further research.

Summary: I feel great!
Review: This book has several flaws that make it difficult for the reader to understand the author's message. First of all, the book is not well organized. It does not present material in an order in which the reader can learn. For example, the illustrations are not in a logical order, so the reader is required to skip forward and backward many pages, and sometimes chapters, in order to see the diagram that relates to a paragraph of text. The second major flaw is that there is no bibliography, and references are alluded to only vaguely, making it nearly impossible for the discerning reader to check the facts. I would not recommend this book as a first, or even second, choice for someone who is setting about to learn this healing art.

Summary: I feel great!
Review: This is a great book if you have a desire to help yourself feel better. I have ordered about 15 copies in the last 6 months for family members and friends. When someone tells me they have pains I tell them how to relieve it. At first they think I'm nuts. Then they do what I tell them and when the pain goes away they want a copy. I have enjoyed the practice of making myself feel better and you will too with this book. Enjoy the book and the good health that goes with it. To your health. Judy
