I've just received an email from someone who loved the "DIABETES: An
Integrated Approach" DVD and now two from people who are raving about
the "ASTHMA: An Integrated Approach" DVDs... so I thought I'd let you
guys know about it. All of these peeps bought it on ebay. Seems no-one
is going direct to the website, which is a shame. I've posted their
email to me at the bottom of my post (originally in arthritis
newsgroup).

Hi, I've watched the Vision Health dvd ASTHMA: An integrated approach
(it's a 2 disc dvd as well). Barefoot Doctor is a delightful host and
there are more than 14 other doctors with intriguing interviews,
testimonials, patient stories and demonstrations. Like you said with
the arthritis, the stuff on provocation neutralisation was amazing to
hear... but ACUPUNCTURE just blew me away. Incredibly section where the
main acupuncturist details her son's acupuncture treatment (he was
rushed to hospital and nearly died, had asthma since he was 3... she
tried acupuncture and now at 16 he HAS NO ASTHMA! - that's what got her
started). Great information on Herbal medicine, acupuncture, diet,
nutrition, yoga, chi gung, supplements, genetics, stem cell therapy,
homeopathy, breathing, exercise, the environment, allergies, chemical
intolerances, sensitivities, candida yeast problem etc. etc.

If you want to know more about the various approaches and most
importantly the EFFICACY of those approaches, you should definitely
check it out. There are a few great patient stories of people following
the doctors instructions and completely curing their ASTHMA.... also
great stuff about naturally dealing with the symptoms... self
management really is so important, for your health and your general
peace of mind. REALLY REALLY GOOD, I highly recommend it. You must
check it out.

I was wondering if anyone else had seen this dvd. A friend bought the
ARTHRITIS: An Integrated Approach DVD for me from Amazon recently. The
DVD was excellent, and on it they have numerous links etc. (including
to their own site www.visionhealth.co.uk). It is a very good resource,
with live chat room (experts come fortnightly), live news feed (coming
soon), links, articles and other great detail. It is well worth a
visit.

I can't speak for the other dvds (Diabetes and Asthma), but the
Arthritis one was excellent. It covers complementary, alternative and
orthodox approaches to Arthritis. There are some 14 world experts, 50
chapters (more than 3 hours) on 2 dvd discs. It is hosted by the
endearing Barefoot Doctor and features such luminaries as: Dr Mosaraf
Ali (Physician to HRH Prince Charles), Dr Jean Monro (Founder of the
Breakspear Hospital, Physician to The Sultan of Brunei), Dr George
Lewith, Dr John  Mansfield and many more...

If you've ever wondered about the truth behind all the hype which
surrounds alternative, complementary, orthodox or cutting edge methods
(like stem cell therapy, genetics and tissue engineering) then this is
for you. It's got some fantastic patient stories and testimonials, and
the sections on provocation neutralisation, environmental medicine and
nutritional medicine really stand out.

Do spread the word, because this is a great resource.

P.S. Lots of good reviews for Vision Health guides to Asthma, Diabetes
and Arthritis (all double disc dvds) on Amazon.co.uk... they're not on
amazon.com yet, presumably only PAL versions available at the moment. I
had a good chat with sufferers in their chat-room on
www.visionhealth.co.uk , but unfortunately more often than not it is
empty.
