DMSO Healing Protocols by Alexander Reid

For Read & Review 

The book DMSO Healing Protocols is a great guide on how to use this sulfur based component for therapeutic and healing properties. 

The book explains what DMSO is and the benefits for its use like for pain relief and as an Anti-inflammatory agent. It addresses myths and misconceptions like that DMSO is illegal and unregulated. In fact it is frequently recommended for joint pain, arthritis, and inflammation and is carefully monitored.

The most interesting parts are the case studies of people who tried DMSO and how it worked. Examples include Daniel who used DMSO in magnesium oil and daily stretching for his sciatica pain in his lower back legs. He experienced a reduction in his nerve pain within ten days.

The DMSO Healing Protocols provides good and helpful assistance for those who are ill or in great pain and need a path to holistic wellness. 

Easy Italian Phrases Book for Beginners Next Level Publishing 

For Read & Review

If readers are planning on visiting or working in Italy or any country where Italian is the dominant language, they might want to take the Easy Italian Phrases Book for Beginners. 

The book goes from how to pronounce letters and sounds, to translating important words and phrases, and continues with suggestions on how to begin small conversations and dialogue. Readers will learn that a is pronounced like in “Father.” They will learn phrases like “Grazie” which means “Thank you.”

The phrases are arranged by context and topic. For example, asking how much a ticket costs for public transportation is “Quanto costa un biglietto?” Readers will also learn many of the hand gestures which are a part of Italian culture such as the “I don’t care” gesture which involves bruising the underside of your chin with the back of your fingers. 

Yes, even swear words and expressions are described in the book.”What the heck” is “Ma che cuvalo.” “Piove sul bagnato,” it rains on the wet, means,”bad things often happen to the same people.”

Besides learning how to speak words and phrases, the book offers some points about Italian culture and what one can expect. This is particularly highlighted in the chapter about workplace etiquette and behavior. The book includes points that meetings often start late (though workers must try to be on time regardless) and that it is quite common for long discussions to occur during meetings. 

The Easy Italian Phrasebook is the perfect companion to enjoy the beauty, history, society, traditions, culture, and language of Italy.
