Say Goodbye to Illness
Dr. Devi S. Nampudripad
This book talks about an
allergy elimination technique created by Dr. Nampudripad called NAET. No
treatment is guaranteed (this one included), however I have spoken to many that
this technique has worked for. One healed IC friend of mine could not even leave
the house due to serious sensitivities prior to this treatment.

Dr. Ellen Cutler
This book talks about a technique

Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death
James Van Praagh
Illness can often awaken you to what
we all know but often dread facing. That our lives on this earth are not
forever. If like me, your IC has brought you to question the pain and suffering
often felt in life then I highly recommend this book. I hope it will bring you
the peace and understanding it gave me.

This is a wonderful book about a
man's near death experience and his spiritual awakening. I could barely put it
down. Another book that brought me great peace and understanding.

The

pushing forward in your journey to wellness.
