I felt like the title gave me a lot more hope for this book than the actual benefit it provided. There is good information and I'm sure it took a long time to compile, but it seemed more outdated than several other similar books I have read. It also seemed overly simplified in talking about your "healing system" but maybe a beginner needs this simplification.
