Customer Reviews

very informative, but user friendly

This is an amazing book about health. It teaches you that you can take control of you health without taking a pill. Western medicine is so quick to give a pill to fix your symptoms, but they never take a look at what causes the symptom in the first place. Dr. Blaich does a great job with explaining alternative medicine in a way that the average person can understand. I would definitely recommend reading this book!!

Best Book on Healthcare I've Read in Years

I recently received a copy of >Your Inner Pharmacy< and read it in two sittings, which is unusual for me. I was intrigued by the statistics he offers--that nearly a third of the U.S. population suffers from chronic illness, most of which are "lifestyle" illnesses that we could easily cure or prevent with our own lifestyle changes. Also, that the #1 health threat in the U.S. is smoking. I loved the author's clear distinction between "medicine" and "healthcare:" "The field of medicine works to prevent and treat disease. It differs from true healthcare, which promotes health an optimal function of the body." Dr. Blaich's prescriptions for health include massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and other so called alternative practices. He does a great job of explaining--scientifically, but in easy to read layperson's terms--how these health systems work, why they work, and when to use them instead of standard medicine. This book is beautifully written. The greatest thing about it is that it lays out all the information we need to take charge of our own health. This is a book which will be spotlighted on my own health reference shelf for the rest of my life; it is already dogeared and underlined at places I want to remember. I can sincerely recommend it to anyone who wants to map out a healthcare plan for their own life. Many years ago, I co-authored The Well Body Book, with Dr. Mike Samuels. It was a national bestseller and certainly shared Dr. Blaich's approach to health. Your Inner Pharmacy, I must say, is a far better book than my own, giving a very grounded and practical prescription for taking responsibility for our health. I applaud this book enthusiastically and know it will serve thousands of people who want to live healthy lives.

Prescription for a Lifetime of Wellness

"Your Inner Pharmacy, taking back our wellness" is the quintessential prescription for a lifetime of wellness from one most imminently qualified to write it. A must read for all those inclined to their healthiest potential.

A timely read

I wanted to draw your attention to an interesting book if you also share an interest in energy medicine. I first met Robert Blaich about the time I had taken the Level I course from Fred Gallo. I told Bob that I was curious about Applied Kinesiology and mentioned my interest in energy medicine (I don't think we called it that back then). He smiled and walked to his book shelf and came back with a signed copy of "The Five Minute Phobia Cure" in which Callahan credits Bob with teaching him Applied Kinesiology. In a later book Callahan credits Bob with discovering the "mini-reversal." I have suggested Bob's book to those who are interested in an energy related approach to wellness. You will find Your Inner Pharmacy: taking back our wellness an interesting read. More than a "how to" book on wellness it addresses today's challenges for healthcare.

Should be required reading for health care practioners and industry execs

"Your Inner Pharmacy" is a real eye-opener, especially for those of us reaching middle-age and facing the prospects of diminished health and reduced activity levels. It doesn't have to be that way! Dr. Blaich does a great job of explaining how incredibly inter-connected our bodies system's are, and the simple things we can do to maintain our own health and vitality. I truly wish this book were required reading for health care industry professionals and health care practitioners. There are literally millions of dollars in health care industry cost savings in these pages. My family and I have been patients of Dr. Blaich's for several years and he has helped us manage our own health in ways we never would have understood if we had only followed traditional medical approaches. This book gives everyone a chance to better understand their own wellness.
