This review is from: Five Minute Phobia Cure: Dr. Callahan's Treatment for Fears, Phobias and Self-Sabotage (Hardcover)

The company this was ordered from (via Amazon) sent me the wrong book. They have issued me a refund for the incorrect book. However, I requested that they send me the correct book that I originally ordered along with a bill, and this has not yet been accomplished. So, I have never received "Five Minute Phobia Cure".

This review is from: Five Minute Phobia Cure: Dr. Callahan's Treatment for Fears, Phobias and Self-Sabotage (Hardcover)

Dr. Callahan has other books in which he also outlines the technique given in this book. But, in this book, the technique is fully given and in more detail and easier to understand. With the info he gives you, anyone can do this with great results even just reading along out of the book as you go. If you are interested in this type of work, this book is a classic! It really does work and releases phobias immediately in just a 20 minute session. This technique changed the whole direction of my life by instantly removing phobias that were holding me back from what I needed to do. [...]

Much better than "Tapping the Healer Within", May 22, 2008

ReadNReVu -

I wish this book were back in print again. It is better than "Tapping the Healer Within", in that it is written in a much more clear and concise manner (although he does wander a bit and get repetitive at times). He discusses "fear of success" in some detail, and what he thinks it really consists of. There is a shortcut guide in the back for using the method, with pictures.

This is the same as "The Five-Minute Phobia Cure" with an extra chapter addressing Public Speaking and Cold-Calling specifically, and some minor re-working of some of the chapters.

"Five-Minute" also has the shortcut guide. The list of phobias in the book is interesting, and he suggests the same treatment for all of them.

Well worth borrowing from your local library, or getting through interlibrary loan, especially if you found "Tapping" difficult to wade through--I did. This book was much easier to understand. I do, however, think the used prices are 'way on the high side.

Some authors with later books just rehash the same (in this case good) concept over and over, without adding anything significant. This earlier book is better.

4.5 stars.

Comment on Yogi St. John’s Wort Blues Away, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) by Trying to go organic

The taste gets sickening after awhile, August 23, 2006

Trying to go organic -

This review is from: Yogi St. John's Wort Blues Away, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I don't know if the St. John's Wort herb tastes really bad or something, but this tea definitely covers up the taste. It tastes really licorice-y, it's like a slightly milder version of their Egyptian licorice tea. You can somewhat taste the other spices like cardamom, but the strong licorice taste got to me after awhile and I really did not like it. But if you love licorice tea, then I'm sure you'd like it.

I decided to edit this review, since not everyone though it was helpful. Ok, first of all, I mention the licorice part because, well, if you know your herbs, licorice is also good for heart burn, but has the side effect of being a mild laxative. As for the St. John's Wort herb part: the herb is not too strong in Yogi's tea, and I prefer to use pure St. John's Wort from Alvita. Yes, it taste awful and I have to put a teaspoon of honey for half a cup of tea, but it works for me (I use 2 dosages and 4 pills of Enzymatic Therapy St. John's Wort pills because I can't drink that many cups of this herb with its taste. But the tea is more effective for me--I think my body absorbs it better in a natural form, which is normal for vitamins). And another note: just like perscription medication, this does not work in an instant. For me, it takes about a week to truely get the effects. My review is for people who decide to do alterative therapy who are diagnosed with mild to moderate depression.

Just wanted to speak up and say that during a very stressful time, this tea was a life-saver. If you follow the directions, let the bag sit for 5-8 minutes and then squeeze the bag before you throw it away, the calming effects are immediate and thorough.

Oh yeah, I happened to like the taste too!

St. John's Wort is a miracle., January 4, 2009

This review is from: Yogi St. John's Wort Blues Away, Herbal Tea Supplement, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I really bought this tea thinking the placebo effect would work on me - mostly because I have little faith in marketers promises now-a-days. The results? I really don't think this was a placebo.... It did exactly what it said on the description.

I noticed it calmed me down when I was stressed or even worse, depressed. And while I didn't like the taste initially -smells like strong curry with licorice- I soon found myself craving it whenever I needed it and the taste wasn't so bad anymore. Actually I started to like it.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for relief from depression. As a sufferer, I know how much a moments relief feels like glorious heaven.

-----------------

::EDIT:: I left this on the counter and my younger, 15 y/o sister who ISN'T depressed tried this, not knowing what it was. She said she suddenly started feeling giddy and happy inside and that's when she asked me what this tea was. So I'm guessing it really does work...

Comment on NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp by Cay

Worth buying - worked for me, January 26, 2007

Cay (Portland, OR) -

I looked at a few different sun lamps on Amazon and ended up with this one because the price was discounted. The company's website did not have as many detailed specs as I wanted to see before buying the product, so I called customer service. To receive 10,000 lux, you have to sit at least as close as 15 inches. The manual says with the ionizer on, you can sit as far as 20 inches (I'm not sure I believe that - I think it's just recommended for a "treatment session", not for the 10,000 lux). Also, the lights should be good for about 3 years (there are 4 in the lamp), and it's currently $60 to replace all 4.

As for the ionizer, I wasn't looking for anything like this feature, and I was skeptical about it at first. However, I have since learned that it is a great plus to the light itself; it's like having fresh air blowing at you. With the ionizer and the lamp on, I almost feel like I'm sitting outside on a sunny day.

Shipping was prompt, customer service was OK (they did take a day to call me back even during business hours- but they were nice and answered all my questions), and I'm very happy about the lamp. I'm not a morning person, but I find myself actually looking forward to going to work in the morning just so I can sit next to the lamp. I wasn't convinced when I bought the lamp that light therapy would actually counter my winter depression, but I'm a believer now. This lamp has certainly worked well for me.

Helped me with my winter blues, January 24, 2008

I moved from Virginia to Iowa in '06 and experienced SAD during my first winter here. It wasn't something that I recognized right away and by the time spring came, I was 30lbs heavier and suffering from moderate depression. After some extra warm weather exercise and a resolution to not let it happen to me again this year, I did some research on sunlight therapy and settled on this affordable NatureBright product.

I felt the difference within 2 days of using it! My mood brightened and I started to get my initiative back. Even though it is still cold and grey outside, I now go for walks, out to eat, on day trips and have started picking up forgotten projects around the house.

Per the instructions included with the lamp, I sit in front of it for 30 minutes in the morning and then sometimes another 30 minutes in the early afternoon. I have the Ion breeze on throughout the day.

In reference to the actual product, it has a timer which is wonderfully easy to operate and makes the 30 minute timing precise. There is an on/off switch for both the light and the ion air. The lighting area is about the size of a hardback book and has 4 long bulbs.

Overall, I feel that this is a great item to use to perk you up during those winter months inside!

I bought this because of other people's reviews, December 14, 2007

Sara Lane "Sara Lane" (Evanston, Illinois) -

This review is from: NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp (Health and Beauty)

I have gotten down in the dumps around November every year. This year it got bad enough that I finally decided to buy a light box. What can I say, it works! I use it in the morning for 30 minutes while I check emails. If I have time I use it in the evening when I get home from work for another 30 minutes. The only cons I can think of is that the ionizer thing smells bad. Sort of a strong plastic smell. I have been using the light box for around a month. I feel very good. I am not down in the dumps at all. I highly recommend this if you have seasonal effective disorder like I do. I would have bought this years ago had I known it would actually work.
