This product was perfect for all my kids (ages 8-18 months). They love pretending and the food actually looks good. A lot more durable than any other products I have seen.

Customer Review: Another great pretend food toy from the same company
Bought it for a great price at the holidays as an addition to a play kitchen for our sons. Great toy. Temporarily had to take the strawberries away because they were just small enough for our 21 month old son to stick in his mouth all of the way. But the rest are great. They love the pretend juice, milk, banana, yogurt. Fun to have our sons “pretend” to make us breakfast or a snack.

Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding
Although Breastfeeding is a natural process, it is mostly a learned art. Obstacles are the norm, but it is the best start that a mother can give her new baby. Breastfeeding benefits both mothers and babies, it protects babies from disease, and women who have nursed have substantially lower rates of breast cancer. Like the other two video classes in this series, ‘Laugh and Learn About Childbirth’ and ‘Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care’, ‘Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding’ is a comprehensive, fun and entertaining way to learn everything you need to know to have a pleasant Breastfeeding experience. On her new DVD, Sheri Bayles, RN shares her experiences, gives tips and strategies to avoid Breastfeeding obstacles, explains latch on, holds and positions, especially for breastfeeding twins, pumping, diet, and setting up a schedule that let’s you get a good night of sleep. Best of all, in her class you get to watch and learn with real live demonstrations of all the techniques.

Customer Review: Entertaining & Informative
This DVD shows various breastfeeding positions & gives a wealth of useful information. I would have preferred a little more in-depth information, but it is still well worth the time to watch this (especially if you are first-time parents). I purchased this & her newborn care DVD & found them both to be useful.
Customer Review: Not many laughs and only limited learning
This video was informative enough, but it’s brief, and really doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen on You Tube or other free sources. I was a little wary about the humor since the title is ‘Learn and Laugh About Breastfeeding’ after all, but Sheri Bayles is simply not funny, and at points it’s painful to watch. She’s clearly working hard to sell her schtick, but the purpose of the video is to get info on breastfeeding, not to allow an outlet for an obviously frustrated comedienne. She knows breastfeeding facts, and she’d do better to just give the information. Finally, it’d be a better video if they included more footage of real babies feeding, latching, etc., rather than focusing on the baby dolls and Sheri’s endless banter from the couch.

Duracell Crank Light 3 in 1, 3 LED Flashlight, Radio, Charger. 2 pack
This Duracell multi-purpose radio/flashlight/charger is a great addition to any emergency or survival kit. This 3 in 1 unit recharges by manual hand cranking. Compact with portable head phone jack. This flashlight is great for emergency preparedness as it can be placed in cars, trucks, boats, homes, or emergency kits. It requires no maintenance, no batteries, no bulb replacements.
Price: $39.99
Customer Review: Duracell Cranks it Out
Sorry but although this flashlight is one of the best because it has excellent battery, heavy construction, quality crank, decent radio, and other features does not make up for high shipping costs. The flashlight price is comparable to stores, but the almost $10 in shipping will make you shop for it elsewhere. If they lower the shipping cost I will be back. Unfortunately my Amazon Prime shipping does not cover this item.
Customer Review: All in one
I purchase like Christmas gifts for the family, now too numerous and all adults to buy for individually. I like it to be functional and usable. I’ve always liked Duracell products because of their reliability, durability and value. This product was ideal. The phone charger in particular was what I liked about it since my car charger never seems to stay in my car. It was a pleasant surprise to one of my sisters when she tried it out to run her laptop and found it to work reasonably well. Good thing to have around if you’re ever in a “Jericho” situation.

Customer Review: so far so good
Bought this for a Christmas gift and the limited amount of play it has gotten from my kids (3 and 2)so far, has been all fun. While their skills with it will develop as they get older, they love trying to use the rackets - or they just hit and “throw” the ball around using their hands instead. We will have to wait until it gets more outdoor use to see how well it holds up though.

Doctor’s Carbrite Diet - Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix, Sugar Free 11 Oz
This is the best tasting sugar free brownie mix we have found!
Price: $5.99
Customer Review: These brownies are great
I bought this mix for my husband, a diabetic with a sweet tooth. He really has enjoyed having a fudgy, chocolate brownie to eat. For special occasions, I make him these brownies and he tops one with no-sugar-added ice cream and a great sugar-free chocolate topping.
Customer Review: Tasty but Gassy!
The taste alone deserve all the accolades I found from fellow reviewers before I bought this product (4 Boxes). There were only two reviews, one for 5 stars and the other for 4 stars. Not one mentioned the after effects this product causes in the human body. Who said gas is expensive? With this product is free and long lasting! The first time we did two boxes, which is not much in quantity, and the whole family had a go at it. I bought it for selfish reasons, the fact I am not supposed to consume sugars and lots of Carbs, but more importantly because the two reviews sold me! Who else can I trust these days when everyone claims they are the best but the actual consumers, the everyday people of this great land of ours? Yes, I am that naive, I fully trust the opinions of the majority. In this case they were only 2 reviews and I should have been more cautious. The taste great but after eating this product the body undergoes severe swings, all adorned by long lasting gas and in the end by several visits to the “throne”. I have always been blessed with a reliable stomach but when I eat something that is not quite right I suffer like everyone else. Another member of my family suffers from a very delicate stomach and almost no will power when it comes to treats like these. There must be some kind of ingredient that promotes this reaction and my question is: Is it safe to suffer the after effects for the taste of the moment you eat it? In my opinion, no, even though I know that some ingredient that makes it sugar free might be the culprit and perhaps the body will adapt and in time become more adept at accepting this side effect, but I do not want my body to participate in the adaptation process. So why was this not mentioned at all? That, in a nutshell, is the question. Are we being difficult and antagonistic? From where I stand (or should I say, sit?) I do not think so. 2 Stars for Doctor’s Carbrite Extra Rich & Fudgy Brownies and the 2 stars for the initial great taste, at least that part is true and tried!

This is a great workout!! I have tried MANY of them. This one will make you sweat and feel like you worked out harder than you did. The first time you might be a little confused but the second time is easier and kind of fun. Do them all for a great sweat and ache - which tells you its working.

I live in a small one bedroom and I can do it all easily without limiting my movements! I’ve already lost inches and improved my asthma.

Customer Review: Helpful product!
I’ve used these sticks with my CBEFM for a few cycles now. Like the OCD person that I am, I’ve used both the CBEFM with monitoring from my doctor, and they both correspond to each other. It’s good to know that it works appropriately. My only complaint is that they are on the pricey side, and since the CBEFM will always ask for them in quantities of 10, you can go through a whole box in one month. My best suggestion is once you get the 1st “peak” day, that you can stop testing.
Customer Review: Simple to use
These sticks are smaller then the ones that come in the box of seven. It took some time before I realized how switch the cap and insert it into the machine. If your not a morning person like myself, beware. I was almost late for work the first day I tried to use it because I was half asleep and didn’t understand the diagram. THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PRODUCT! It works great once you figure it out.

Customer Review: Works great, my cell phone uses batteries like crazy
This is the most reliable device I’ve used all year for this. My cell phones and digital camera both use up batteries like water, it seems. This keeps me going until I get home for the day and can plug into regular rechargers. It acts like those battery gizmos you have so you don’t have to risk battery explosions by cabling to another car’s battery when you accidentally leave the lights on in the parking lot. Simple idea, well executed, extremely cost effective.

Used Price: $12.72
Customer Review: SECRET INSIGHTS OF SUCCESSFUL LOSERS!
Taken from the TV show The Biggest Loser, where people lose weight and change their lives, this book gives you the “success secrets” the show’s participants used to transform their bodies. This book reveals the contestant’s insights and how they personally overcame their cravings, resistance to exercise, and desire to revert back to old lifestyle habits. They also describe how they kept going during plateaus and into maintenance. Along with diet and exercise tips and daily lifestyle habits, the book has the contestant’s testimonials and photos. The contestants are generous with their stories, victories, and advice in their testimonials and quotes that are scattered throughout the book. You get the feeling they want to help others through struggles and onward to weight-loss victory. The contents: Introduction: The biggest Loser Secrets and Suggestions…Revealed! Chapter 1: The Inspiration to Make a Change: Getting Started Chapter 2: Eating Healthfully: Psychological Tips and Tricks Chapter 3: Burning Calories: Motivation to Get Moving and Keep Moving Chapter 4: Managing Self-Esteem and Body Image Issues: Tips for Staying Positive and Strong Chapter 5: Staying in the Game: Inspiration to Help You Reach Your Goals Chapter 6: Hitting Plateaus: How to Break Through Fitness Barriers Chapter 7: Support or Sabotage? The Powerful Influence of Family and Friends Chapter 8: The Post-Loser Lifestyle: Living Fit References, Resources, Acknowledgements, Index The book instructs you to keep a daily journal of what you eat as well as what exercise you do. The diet is based on calorie control and has 3 main meals and 2 snacks. A typical day’s menu is: one egg with turkey bacon for breakfast; cherries, cottage cheese, and almonds for morning snack; a spinach salad with skinless chicken breast and half an apple for lunch; Greek-style plain, fat free yogurt with blueberries for a snack; and grilled salmon with steamed quinoa and broccoli and a peach for dinner. If you want recipes, you need to get the “Biggest Loser Cookbook”. The Biggest Loser plan itself is described in “The Biggest Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health, and Life–Adapted from NBC’s Hit Show”. This book focuses more on motivation and techniques rather than nuts and bolts diet and exercise. We all know that the key to weigh loss success is motivation and managing the mind. This book does a great job of reminding us of this truth. The book mentions a “moment” and “triggering event” that finally pushes people over the edge and awakens their desire to lose weight even if it means making substantial changes in their life and giving up their comfortable but bad habits. The book affirms that the key to weigh loss is managing our mind and behavior, not just eating and exercise. The testimonials in the book are heartfelt and inspiring. This is a great book for motivation! Debra Lawrence, author of THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams
Customer Review: Simple baby steps to success
The Biggest Loser Success Secrets is great because it has testimonials, photos, and baby steps to follow to inspire a person to success. You can easily open the book, look at a before and after photo, and be fired up again to stick to your diet and exercise. Huge successes all happened with daily faithful habits that snowballed into major changes. This isn’t a book you have to read cover to cover, just pick it up and LOOK at it. Most anyone should be able to look at the photos, quick tips, habits to cultivate, and say, “if they can do it, I can do it.” I think one of the biggest appeals is that these successes are everyday people like you, me, us, and our families and friends, NOT superstars or supermodels. The book is good reference to keep with you for bedtime or early morning inspiration. Keep one in the lunchroom at work too–great way to keep all the dieters motivated. This one’s a keeper!

King Corn
King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation.

In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat and how we farm.

Customer Review: King Corn: learning about the industrial food chain
Whether you are well versed in the ways of the industrial food chain or just beginning to learn about it, King Corn is an entertaining film that delivers a lot of information. 2 friends plant an acre of corn, giving the viewer insight on the entire process. There are many other subjects touched upon, including the far reaching impacts of conventional agriculture, the disappearance of family farms, the economic impact of corn on small town America. This film would be a great starting point for people just learning about the current state of the food system, or the film the well versed person might lend to their less than knowledgeable friends. Much of the truth in The Omnivore’s Dilemma delivered by 2 nice guys, Fischer Price stop-motion animation included.

Customer Review: Excellent exercises
The DVD consists of 3 parts: Nutrition, Exercise, and Circulation. As far as nutrition goes, I did not hear anything I didn’t know already, most of the things Dr. Murad was talking about are pretty much common sense. Although I learned more about the nutritional value of cayenne pepper and it’s impact on blood circulation. As for the exercises, they are excellent! There are 10 different exercises shown in the video and one supposed to pick 4 of them and do them regularly, 3 times a week for about 20 minutes. I started doing themn 1-3 times a week for 10 minutes and I can already see how my legs toned up in less than 2 weeks. After the first time doing the exercises I felt the difference. Just make sure you stay plenty hydrated while doing those exercises otherwise tomorrow will bring a lot of muscle pain:) The DVD definitely worth it but one has to commit to following the advice and doing exercises
Customer Review: This HURTS SO GOOD!!
I exercise regularly and very rarely have soreness. After one go all the way through (only ~20min) I am still hobbling 2 days later. Sitting is near impossible. Everyone is making fun of me at work. This video is well worth the purchase price. I don’t know about getting rid of cellulite yet as tonight is only my second go at it, but I will update later. I like that there are a lot of extras. An interview with Dr. Murad, a nutritionist, and another trainer. Most of the information isn’t new, but it is nice to have it hammered home again. The only criticisms I have in no way affect the rating I give this product for giving me a good workout. The production is cheap. During interviews the camera pans in and out awkwardly. It would have been nice to have camera #1 and #2. Cuing is poor with the instructor, she doesn’t indicate which leg to work with, miscounted reps on a few exercises, and doesn’t indicate a change when stretching, so that when you aren’t looking at the tele you can fall behind. It would be great if there were two exercise segments. One that goes slowly and explains how to do the moves, and one that goes all the way through without pause. A lot of time is spent explaining the exercises and correcting the beginner demonstrator. This isn’t necessarily bad as it gives you some time to breathe, but as things get easier I can see getting impatient. Overall, don’t listen to my complaints. Just get this video so that I don’t have to be the only one hobbling around.

NUPRO: All Natural Dog Supplement was researched and developed by a nutrition doctor. It is a totally holistic product that replaces the vitamins, minerals, and digestive enzymes that a dog does not get from his processed food. In other words, what we are doing is replacing with natural ingredients what a dog would normally have gotten in the wild. It is excellent for all breeds and all ages from puppies to geriatric.
Customer Review: Nupro All Natural Dog Supplement
I’ve been using this product for my 3 yr. old Chessie since he was a puppy. It does a great job keeping him healthy with the vitamins and minerals in it. It also keeps his skin and fur healthy. I put 2 tsp on dry food then mix with water….he loves it! (2 tsp is the maintenance measurement)
Customer Review: Amazing Difference!
I adopted a rescued greyhound. For the first couple of months I had her I wondered why she had a bald tummy, a bald butt and stiff, wiry fur on the rest of her body -she didn’t feel like the other greyhounds I had met. I tried several different types of foods, but didn’t seem to help. I added the NuPro supplement on the advice of my vet and the difference is amazing! After using it for a couple of months her fur has turned silky soft and her bald spots have all filled in nicely. No more bald butt! I highly recommend this supplement. I’m sure it not only makes her look better, but she must feel better, also. If you want a healthy dog that feels as good as she/he looks, you should try NuPro.

Customer Review: Microcosmic Orbit
This is undoubtedly the finest video format I have ever seen on Oriental energy exercises. The program opens with a stunningly beautiful graphic presentation and proceeds on to excellent instruction in procedure by a Chinese doctor, who explains precisely every movement with the corresponding breathwork and visualization. Each segment is beautifully illustrated with live models, graphics, and diagrams so the Chinese acupressure points and procedures can be perfectly understood and actualized. New and essential techniques I have not seen before in a Microcosmic Orbit instructional program are presented by Dr Eng. I feel this would be an excellent program for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle due to a physical disability as the whole program is performed from a seated position…although it would be a powerful adjunct to an athlete’s conditioning program as well.Enjoy!Nigh
Customer Review: Another Excellent Oriental Secrets Program
HEAVENLY CIRCULATION OF CHI This is an excellent meditation led by Dr. Vickie Eng. The program opens with a short but interesting introduction into Taoist alchemy and includes four warmups; the 18 points of the sitting posture, natural breathing nine times, abdominal massage clockwise and counter, the anus lift exercise to eight areas of the body, and the three treasure visualization of heaven, earth and man. After warmups the energy centers of the Yang channel up the spine to the crown of the head are opened one by one using breath control and visualizations. Then the Yin Channel centers are opened down the front of the body to the navel again. Afterwards, you train the Taoist Chi Kung known as the “micro-cosmic orbit” or the “Heavenly Circulation of Chi” in which “chi” or heat energy is trained to travel up the spine, over the head, and down the front of the body by deep breathing exercise. Just as the revolutions of the sun and moon regulate the earth so does this deep breathing around the body regulate the body’s vital energy. Nine breathing circulations around the body are completed before concluding the meditation. A very effective exercise for “a sound mind in a sound body” - as the program said “in corpore mens sana!” Excellent 3D graphics, an “eye candy” set, matching audio and lots of camera angles add to the excellent content of the program as well.

Great product. Much more durable than other products I have seen. Kids have lots of fun playing with this product.
Customer Review: Worth the money!
I thought the price was high for play food until comparing it to other “cheaper” food. I realized that the quality is actually much higher and indeed worth the money. I like that the play food models healthy foods- fight obesity and teach kids to develop nutritious eating habits- and that it is so incredibly durable made from vinyl material guaranteed to last where other play foods are from cheap plastic and could probably easily be destructed… depending on the kid…I definitely recommend it! Oh and it looks incredibly realistic, when my daughter saw it she bit into a carrot and looked confused until I told her it was for playing and not eating- so much for telling her not to play with her food!!

Clif Kid Twisted Fruit Ropes, 0.7-Ounce Wrappers
Customer Review: Mom of a SPD preschooler
Absolutely delicious. He wanted more. What a treat for him and he had no idea it was healthy. Keep up the great work and keep the twisted ropes coming!
Customer Review: Best thing since Sliced Bread….Awesome !!!
I am not a big fan of fruit roll-ups as they tend to be more like candy than fruit with added sugar. These Twisted Fruit ropes are a “whole” other story. They are Organic and provide ONE FULL Serving of Fruit! Each one is 70 calories and best of it, they are satisfying. And I love its dense, chewy texture. It’s SO GOOD that I enjoy it as much as my children do ! So far, I have had the pleasure of trying the strawberry, sour apple, and tropical fruit twists. I love them all although the sour apple is indeed “sour”. It will make your mouth pucker which I personally love but I buy the strawberry & tropical flavors for my children. I just wish that they were less expensive but I can see how they cost more to produce so I am willing to pay more to get a better, more nutritious fruit snack ! Btw, Amazon has the best prices on these esp. if you “subscribe and save”. They are not yet readily available and at my Whole Foods Supermarket, they sell for 99 cents EACH !

The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
A New York Times bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain us?whether industrial or organic, alternative or processed?he develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet.

Customer Review: Interesting but a bit lengthy
This book raises extremely interesting facts about the food that we eat in the USA. You will walk away concerned about what you eat as well as the collapse of the US farming community, and wonder what you can do to improve the dire straits we are in. Some of the sections were utterly fascinating, such as his tracing of food products through the industrial food complex. Other sections became too long and preachy. Descriptive, but sometimes more of a diary than a narrative, leaving less to be learned. It would be quite interesting to have a comparison of the situation in the US with the international community. Is this same disaster occurring in and exported to other parts of the world?
Customer Review: Garden City, Kansas
Spring approaches. It’s azaleas in Atlanta, cherry blossoms in Washington, and further a field, in Kyoto. On the high plains it is wind. Mr. Pollen did not write a travel book, but because of him I’ll be off to visit Garden City, Kansas, inspired by such lines as: “Yet I’m sure that after enough time goes by, and the stink of this place is gone from my nostrils, I will eat feedlot beef again. Eating industrial meat takes an almost heroic act of not knowing or, now, forgetting.” He followed the cow that he purchased in South Dakota to Garden City, saw the feedlot where the cows are pumped full of antibiotics, and was overwhelmed by the smell of the products destined for so many stomachs. This is a rich book, on several dimensions. Just to read it for the sheer knowledge it imparts - how corn accidentally came to dominate our diets, and our lives. How the diet of cows was transformed from grass to corn. He takes a hard look at the politics behind such a transformation, identify Earl Butz, Nixon’s Secretary of Agriculture, as being the key individual in bringing us the era of cheap corn. He looks at that will-o-wisp called “costs”, and shows how government policies provided tremendous subsidies so that corn would become a “welfare queen.” The book’s structure is centered on four different kinds of meals: industrial, big organic, local organic, and the one that was hunted / collected by the eater. One is allowed to ponder how all this time and energy which is tied to the industrial meal makes our food so much worse. Mr. Pollen takes us inside General Mills in Minneapolis, where amid much secrecy very highly-paid individuals are paid to devise food products so that Americans will eat even more, because “Wall Street” demands greater growth than the increase in food consumption which would occur through normal population growth. He takes us to “industrial organic” in California, and truly explains how “organic” is so often “not very.” He is never permitted inside a real slaughter house - the companies get away with this prohibition by claiming a need for “food security.” He recommends glass abattoirs to improve the process, as was approximated at the local organic farm in the Shenandoah Valley. And with considerably resourcefulness and willingness to venture into new fields, he hunts his own food for one meal. He is wonderfully erudite, and surprises with such gems as: “For Isaac, the nugget is a distinct taste of childhood, quite apart from chicken, and no doubt a future vehicle of nostalgia - a madeleine in the making.” He has brought together numerous disciplines to produce this book - truly one of the essential reads of the year, and one that will quite possibly modify your life. He modified mine; now I will experience spring in Garden City, to overcome the “not knowing.” See you there!

Customer Review: A title????
I bought this product for my almost 8 year old. She loves it and it is easy to use. The colors wash out easily as well. The color looks lumpy initially, but when it’s dry and you can brush the hair it goes away. Clean up was easy too.
Customer Review: Streak & Style
My 6 and 7 year old daughters and I have had a lot of fun doing makeovers with our streak n style. The colors wash out easily–and my youngest has platinum blonde hair.

Customer Review: a solid product
These things are very solid, and I’ve noticed a large difference in what I’ve been able to deadlift with their help. I added 70 lbs to my max, just from the difference between my grip vs overall strength.

The padding is good, the fit is comfortable, and they do their job. I can’t ask for more.

Great product. Much more durable than other products I have seen. Kids have lots of fun playing with this product.
Customer Review: Worth the money!
I thought the price was high for play food until comparing it to other “cheaper” food. I realized that the quality is actually much higher and indeed worth the money. I like that the play food models healthy foods- fight obesity and teach kids to develop nutritious eating habits- and that it is so incredibly durable made from vinyl material guaranteed to last where other play foods are from cheap plastic and could probably easily be destructed… depending on the kid…I definitely recommend it! Oh and it looks incredibly realistic, when my daughter saw it she bit into a carrot and looked confused until I told her it was for playing and not eating- so much for telling her not to play with her food!!

Customer Review: Not that great, Not that bad
This bottle gets the job done, but it could be better. After you shake it up and open the drink spout, there will most likely be powder caught on the spot. There will also be very thick shake at the bottom of it when its almost gone. I think the mian problem is that if you want ot mixed perfect you need a blender.

Customer Review: Fun for boys of all ages!
My 30+ brother bought this for my 40+ husband. He had a blast, but I’m still picking string out of every crevice in my house! Web ran out fast, but I suppose I’ll buy him more…
Customer Review: Probably better for older boys
Santa brought this blaster this year and well, after long, arduous pleas for it, it is sitting in the toybox. Was even told “I wish I hadn’t asked for it.” I suppose if the child is at LEAST 7, more like 8 it would be better, but since it is SO heavy and cumbersome, it’s quite difficult for the boys to work it and use it for any length of time. The silly string it comes with as webs is gone in about 10-15 minutes and is incredibly over priced. The different web tubes are quite difficult to manuever and the boys had to be helped with changing the type of ammo they wanted to use. For as pricey as this guy is, there are other web blasters out there sold separately, that contain each one of these shooters individually and in twos. To be honest, they’d add up to more than this one bought separately, but it is worth it in my book. We have 2 of the other ones and the boys have much more fun using them because they’re lighter and easier to manuever. This was used by 6 and 7-year-olds and they much, much preferred the single web blasters over this one. Again, if they’re older, this would probably be more fun. But for little fingers and arms, you might want to consider the smaller blasters. Sorta recommend with caution to the age factor.

For Type A:Go vegetarian, exercise more mildly, and ease tension through meditation

For Type B:Vary your diet with a diversity of food groups (including dairy), and exercise moderately by swimming or walking

This diet gave me irritable bowel syndrome. If you start to have diarrhea, you may have to go on medication.
Customer Review: Eat Right 4 Your Type
This is a very interesting book and one everyone should have. I had no idea that you should eat according to your blood type. All this time I thought I was eating healthy, I came to find out that I was eating the wrong things according to my blood type. No wonder I could never lose weight. I am so glad I found this book!

Customer Review: DVD Menu not included
This DVD does not have a menu. It is very difficult and time consuming to navigate to the exercises on the DVD. While the results may be worth the investment in this DVD, the quality isn’t. In this age of high technology I expected a quality DVD in exchange for my money.
Customer Review: Happy Customer
I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease years ago. I have had flare ups of back pain that kept me from life and work. I have always dealt with stiffness and discomfort. It was a common occurrance to have pain when I’d bend forward and when I first got up in the morning. I am in week 3 of this program and I have been feeling much better. I have a lot less discomfort than when I began this program. This program is very relaxing at first, then gradually steps it up in intensity. I was very skeptical and afraid of hurting myself more by doing this program. Needless to say my fears were for nothing. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a gentle, relaxing way to reduce or eliminate their back discomfort. I can hardly wait to get home every day so that I can “do” my exercises. Thank you Dr. Melleby!

Customer Review: Believe me…these are not worth the health hazard!
I bought these treats awhile back thinking they were going to be a healthy treat for my dogs. They loved them, and for several day I broke off pieces and gave them these treats whenever they came begging. Well, they all became deathly ill. After days on i.v., numerous follow-up visits, and steep vet bills, I got my dogs back, but at a price. All have suffered kidney damage. None will live to be an old dog. It was a tough time for my whole family, and an even tougher time for the dogs. Spend the $ you would spend on these on a cheap dehydrator and make your own.
Customer Review: Great item, but shipping is way out of line
My dogs adore this product and the sellers are attentive, sell a high quality product and are very fast shippers. My only problem with the item is the extraordinarily high shipping fee. A product really shouldn’t cost a full 50% of the product cost to ship. I would rather a slower cheaper shipping option, because I buy a lot of this from them and just never need it through priority shipping. It’s just too much. Otherwise, woofalicious!

The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of Now

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.

About the Author

ECKHART TOLLE is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his writing and seminars, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. Eckhart travels extensively, taking his teachings throughout the world.

Customer Review: Cheaper at Sams Club
My 20 month old son LOVES Vanilla pediasure, and the one with fiber helps him when he’s constipated. He is so picky when it comes to food, so I make sure he gets one bottle of pediasure every day. You can get a 24 pack for about $33 at Sams Club. If you don’t have a membership you can go with a friend who does.
Customer Review: HEALTHY AND YUMMY
My daughter used to drink yogurt smoothies for breakfast. When I saw how many vitamins, carbs, calories this drink I had I was sold. It is hard to get a toddler to eat all 1000 calories when they have such small stomaches. This drink is SO great because it is delicous and so healthy. She drinks one every day for breakfast and we have noticed a subtle change in her health and behavior. These drink are usually around $14.00 for a six pack of the plastic bottles. A bit pricey but since it covers her entire morning breakfast, it is not a bad deal for us. If you have a picky eater I would give it a try, they taste like milkshakes. These contain milk and soy so watch out for allergies.

Customer Review: Satisfied
Satisfied so far. Was careful this time to incorporate excessive water to avoid indigestion problems that were faced the last time.

Looking forward to try the “Natural” Whey

Customer Review: Tastes good to me!
I have the Rich Double Chocolate flavored powder. I’m probably not doing this right, but I mix one scoop with 8 oz. of 2% milk (I know, not skim, shame on me!), and it tastes like chocolate milk. If I enjoy the taste of something, I’m more likely to continue doing it. I’ve been drinking two “shakes” a day in addition to 4 smaller meals, and I look forward to it each time.

As far as results, I don’t know if it has made a difference, because when I just began serious weight training about 3 weeks ago, and have had the powder since the beginning of the third week. I have been gaining weight, and my workouts are constantly improving, so something must be going right.

If you like chocolate milk, and you would like an extra boost of 24g protein (plus what is in the milk), this product/flavor may be for you. I haven’t tried it in water, and I really don’t plan to. Chocolate flavored water does not appeal to me. I’ll put up with the extra fat if it means that I’ll actually stay with the program.

A New York Times bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain us?whether industrial or organic, alternative or processed?he develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet.

Customer Review: Interesting but a bit lengthy
This book raises extremely interesting facts about the food that we eat in the USA. You will walk away concerned about what you eat as well as the collapse of the US farming community, and wonder what you can do to improve the dire straits we are in. Some of the sections were utterly fascinating, such as his tracing of food products through the industrial food complex. Other sections became too long and preachy. Descriptive, but sometimes more of a diary than a narrative, leaving less to be learned. It would be quite interesting to have a comparison of the situation in the US with the international community. Is this same disaster occurring in and exported to other parts of the world?
Customer Review: Garden City, Kansas
Spring approaches. It’s azaleas in Atlanta, cherry blossoms in Washington, and further a field, in Kyoto. On the high plains it is wind. Mr. Pollen did not write a travel book, but because of him I’ll be off to visit Garden City, Kansas, inspired by such lines as: “Yet I’m sure that after enough time goes by, and the stink of this place is gone from my nostrils, I will eat feedlot beef again. Eating industrial meat takes an almost heroic act of not knowing or, now, forgetting.” He followed the cow that he purchased in South Dakota to Garden City, saw the feedlot where the cows are pumped full of antibiotics, and was overwhelmed by the smell of the products destined for so many stomachs. This is a rich book, on several dimensions. Just to read it for the sheer knowledge it imparts - how corn accidentally came to dominate our diets, and our lives. How the diet of cows was transformed from grass to corn. He takes a hard look at the politics behind such a transformation, identify Earl Butz, Nixon’s Secretary of Agriculture, as being the key individual in bringing us the era of cheap corn. He looks at that will-o-wisp called “costs”, and shows how government policies provided tremendous subsidies so that corn would become a “welfare queen.” The book’s structure is centered on four different kinds of meals: industrial, big organic, local organic, and the one that was hunted / collected by the eater. One is allowed to ponder how all this time and energy which is tied to the industrial meal makes our food so much worse. Mr. Pollen takes us inside General Mills in Minneapolis, where amid much secrecy very highly-paid individuals are paid to devise food products so that Americans will eat even more, because “Wall Street” demands greater growth than the increase in food consumption which would occur through normal population growth. He takes us to “industrial organic” in California, and truly explains how “organic” is so often “not very.” He is never permitted inside a real slaughter house - the companies get away with this prohibition by claiming a need for “food security.” He recommends glass abattoirs to improve the process, as was approximated at the local organic farm in the Shenandoah Valley. And with considerably resourcefulness and willingness to venture into new fields, he hunts his own food for one meal. He is wonderfully erudite, and surprises with such gems as: “For Isaac, the nugget is a distinct taste of childhood, quite apart from chicken, and no doubt a future vehicle of nostalgia - a madeleine in the making.” He has brought together numerous disciplines to produce this book - truly one of the essential reads of the year, and one that will quite possibly modify your life.
