Q-Tips Reviews

1. 100 Questions/Answer about Anorexia Nervosa – Sari Fine Shepphird, PhD – Empower  Yourself! – If you wish to gain a better understanding of this condition, this book offers a complete guide to understanding the causes, warning signs, diagnosis and  practical suggestions on how to help as well as treatment.  This book covers the subject of Anorexia as a serious and complex psychiatric disorder (mental illness). It covers and explains terms that doctors use in down to earth lay-person language & also provides helpful information for families/friends/others to  support them.  The book covers such questions as: Do Anorexic have a low self esteem? Is there a unique relationship between anorexia and athletes? Are certain ethnic groups affected more than others? Do you know the difference between Bulimia and Anorexia?  Do you know what in the world is “Lanugo”?

2. ANOREXIA  – Daniel A. Leone, book editor. – This book is a little different in that it covers experiences of male/female anorexics. Also touches on some societal subjects, such as:  Society’s Obsession w thinness.  Should SOME Anorexics  have the right to refuse treatment? Insurance Companies need to provide coverage for Anorexics. Does society not take Anorexia as seriously as other diseases?

Mrs. Q says:  I liked the first book a bit better but both covered the illness with great detailed information in a different fashion.  Both books have a wonderful Resource Section of other Books, Associations, Web Sites, etc.

I know most of us have the opposite problem, too much weight. However, this is a serious illness and can lead to death if not properly treated.  So read and expand your knowledge of Anorexia.   It might save a life.  Anorexics literally are Dying to be Thin.

OBAMA’S AMERICA – 2016  –  Directed By: Gerald R. Molen, Dinesh D’Souza

2016 Obama’s America takes audiences on a visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man’s past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, “If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?” Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn’t know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him–who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world. Love him or hate him, do you know him?

Q-Tips say:  Yes, a must see for all thinking Americans, which includes the younger generations. Do you think you know Obama? Interesting that the movie critics do not like this movie as much as the paying public does. This documentary was well written and full of vital, important information that has been ignored by mainstream media thus far.  Mrs. Q says:  What happened to Obama’s Hope and Change?  Do you like his policies? She liked the fact that the director Dinesh D’Souza went forward to point out his view, from the facts that he has, to say what he thinks will happen if Obama gets another four years in the White House.

Mrs. Q says:  A movie everyone should see regardless of ideology.  Yes, Obama’s past does define who he is, as does our past define us. See OBAMA – 2016 and decide for yourself whether he gets your vote for another four years in the White House. Perhaps, OBAMA – 2016 will help you decide.

THE AMATEUR – (about Barack Obama) by Edward Klein

A reporter’s book that is reinforced with nearly 200 interviews, many of them insiders who know Obama the best. Touches on many subjects, such as: Obama is actually on revolt against the value of the society he was elected to lead. Why Bill Clinton loathes BO.  The spiteful rivalry between Michelle Obama and Oprah. How Obama split the Kennedy family. How Jeremiah Wright was offered money to keep his mouth shut during the 2008 campaign.  How Michelle and Valerie Jarret are the real power behind the White House throne and much more.

Mrs. Q says:  I enjoyed it, an easy read.  Read it and see if you agree. Does it change your mind about Mr. Obama?  Perhaps you would like to see a movie called “OBAMA’S AMERICA –  2016” was playing at the movie theaters.  Please feel free to share your thoughts about the book or movie.
