The Tinnitus Handbook A self-Help Guide
The book is a complete resource for understanding tinnitus. What is even better, the book is written in a way that is factual, easy to read, and easy to understand.
The variety of treatments gave new answers and realistic approaches. The homeopathy section was very enlightening as well as the acupressure ideas.

why spend the (money)
...I found some of the info in this book informative but as a sufferer of tinnitus I am quite knowledgable of this condition. I thought this book might give me some new info and insight into my condition. If you don't know much about tinnitus this may be a good book for you but much of the info in these pages is already out there online.

A Balanced Treatment
The Tinnitus Handbook provides a very readable overview of the topic and some of the possible explanations and remedies. I especially liked the objective presentation of alternative medical treatments. The book could be improved by color illustrations of the middle and inner ear to make the physiological descriptions clearer. But, I suppose, that would have meant an increase in price. I highly recommend the book to those suffer from tinnitus and to those who live with those who suffer.

Contains a wealth of natural & alternative remedies.
I was at my "wits end" with the constant ringing in my ears. My doctor prescribed anti-depressant medication that only made the ringing worse--much worse. I found the natural remedies in the TINNITUS HANDBOOK--A SELF HELP GUIDE really helped. I now live a normal live without the agonizing sounds that used to torment me. I rcommmend the book without reservation. I have read the other books but found no hope of soutions in them. I recommmend this book if you want to rid yourself of tinnitus. God bless you. ...

A Must-Read Book for Parents
The very words "ear infection" conjure up fear, dread and visions of antibiotics in most parents----yet few ever understand what a misnomer the term "ear infection" actually is. I purchased this book when my daughter was 8 months old and we were going on our third ear infection. I was desperate and disillusioned with the poor explanations my pediatrician handed me along with an antibiotic rx slip. What actually did he mean by "ear infection"? 'Infections' are for the most part inflammations of the ear-----be they caused by virus or food sensitivities or (less commonly) bacteria. Yet we are treating most ear infections as if they are caused by a bacterial infection only. Block really drives a point home about food sensitivities----that many children are sensitive to dairy products, wheat, or corn (among others) and these items contribute to ear problems. After reading the book, we immediately took our daughter off dairy products permanently (and wheat for a year) and her health improved 100%----with only one more ear infection/inflammation, which we resolved easily and successfully without antibiotics. She has never had an ear problem again. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it is a bit amateurishly put together, and Block's writing style is at times cumbersome, it is nevertheless worthwhile stuff, and it REALLY important for parents to read and absorb.

It actually works
After taking antibiotics over and over again for the same infection, I was at the end of my rope. I was amazed to find out that this method worked for me. This book is probably less expensive than an antibiotic prescription, so why not try it yourself?

Refreshing!
I have used "NO MORE AMOXICILLIN" on myself and my 4 month old. While I was pregnant, I developed a very severe ear infection. Being that I was pregnant, I couldn't take any medication. I started using Dr. Mary Ann Block's technique through manipulation. My husband gave me 3 treatments a day and before long my ear infection was gone and I felt great. I could actually feel my ears draining during the treatment. It is always nice to find a way to cure you or your loved ones without the use of extra medication. This is definitely one of those. I have been doing the manuipulation technique on my 4 month old son since he was born and everytime he goes to the pediatrician she says that his ears look great. I have also purchased the video titled,"Treat Ear and Respiratory Infections WITHOUT Antibiotics!" This gives even more in depth information and a hands on demonstration of the manipulation technique. I highly recommend this book. ... Read more
