It's sure to appeal to her considerable cult of readers who've bought her other feel-good, anti-diet books...

cover   The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy 
From Library Journal

cover   Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines: Safe and Effective Remedies for You and Your Family 
From Library Journal

  WhaleRider
  Dramatic themes and a compelling cast drive a tale about a young girl dragging Maori traditionalism into the 21st century.
http://www.whaleriderthemovie.com/

  What the Bleep!? is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. http://www.whatthebleep.com/
