Succesboeken Eerlijke geneeskundeHet boek Eerlijke geneeskunde is ontstaan omdat de echtgenoot van de auteur, vanwege een hersentumor in het ziekenhuis belandde en operatie na operatie kreeg. Zo veel, dat de wonden op zijn schedel niet meer wilden dichtgroeien. Zijn vrouw en auteur van dit boek, Julia Schopick, vond via het internet een speciaal verband, dat ze op het hoofd van haar man had laten aanbrengen, waardoor de wonden binnen "no-time" dicht waren. De artsen geloofden niet dat het door dat speciale gaasverband was gekomen. Zelfs niet toen Julia de uitvinder van het verband, ook een arts, contact op liet nemen met de behandelend artsen van haar man.
De gaasjes waren honderden keren goedkoper en effectiever dan de methode die het ziekenhuis , zonder resultaat, hanteerde. Julia liep tegen een muur van onbegrip. Julia ging verder speuren en kwam erachter dat er vele behandelwijzen waren die vele malen goedkoper en effectiever waren dan wat op dat moment in ziekenhuizen werd gehanteerd. Toch kwamen die behandelwijzen niet het ziekenhuis in. Behandelwijzen voor leveraandoeningen, MS, epileptische aanvallen (met name voor kinderen), lupus, artritis, etc.
Waren er financiële belangen die niets met gezondheid te maken hadden? Wat was er mis met goedkopere en effectievere behandelwijzen? Julia Schopick is de medische wereld ingedoken en beschrijft in dit boek vier behandelwijzen. Ze laat zowel patiënten als artsen, specialisten en experts aan het woord.
Haar missie is om miljoenen mensen te helpen aan eerlijke geneeskunde: waarom meer betalen voor niet-effectieve behandelingen, terwijl goedkoper en effectiever voorhanden is? Toen ze een aantal jaren geleden in deze materie rolde, was het tevens haar ambitie het zorgsysteem te veranderen. Deze naïeve gedachte heeft ze inmiddels maar laten varen, want de ziekenindustrie wil niet veranderen.
De ziekenindustrie is harde business en aan gezonde mensen is door die industrie niets te verdienen.
De verhalen, ervaringen en kennis van de diverse artsen en patiënten (ervaringsdeskundigen) in dit boek kunnen vele levens redden en verlengen.
In de woorden van de auteur:
"Dit boek gaat niet over het als slecht of ondoelmatig neerzetten van alle farmaceutische behandelingen. Vele zijn dat namelijk niet. En dit boek gaat er ook niet over dat alternatieve behandelvormen altijd beter zijn dan farmaceutische producten.
Nogmaals, vele zijn dat namelijk niet. En dit boek is niet voor mensen die naar hun arts luisteren en ieder woord uit zijn mond opvolgen alsof dat het heilig Evangelie is, of voor mensen die meer naar andere mensen luisteren dan naar hun eigen gevoel.
Dit boek is eerder voor mensen die veeleisend zijn, die ervoor openstaan om hun eigen onderzoek te doen (of iemand hebben die dat onderzoek voor hen doet), voor mensen die nieuwsgierig zijn en die openstaan voor nieuwe informatie. Dit boek is ook voor mensen die chronische en levensbedreigende aandoeningen hebben die nog niet door de conventionele standaardbehandelingen die hun artsen hen hebben voorgeschreven, zijn geholpen. En dit boek is voor degenen die beseffen dat geneeskunde patiëntgericht dient te zijn en niet gericht op winstbejag. Heel vaak ontmoet ik mensen die lijken te denken dat er geen andere manier bestaat. Dat als er een oplossing was hun arts er dan wel van op de hoogte zou zijn. Ik hoop dat je na het lezen van dit boek zult weten dat dit niet noodzakelijkerwijs het geval hoeft te zijn. Er bestaan vele uitstekende behandelingen waar je dokter niet van afweet."
Over de auteur:
Al meer dan twintig jaar is Julia Schopick auteur en pr-adviseur. Ze is tevens initiatiefnemer van de prijswinnende site/blog HonestMedicine.com. Toen haar man in 1990 een hersentumor kreeg, werd Julia zijn medisch pleitbezorger en begon ze over onderwerpen te schrijven die met gezondheid en geneeskunde te maken hebben.
Haar artikelen en columns zijn o.a. in het American Medical News, het British Medical Journal, in Modern Maturity en in de Chicago Sun-Times verschenen. Haar missie is om haar artikelen en pr-kennis in te zetten om de wereld over weinig bekende, maar veelbelovende behandelvormen via haar website, social media, haar presentaties en dit boek te informeren, en om mensen in hun keuzen in hun gezondheid te sterken.

Very accurate view of admission (I worked there); compelling read, enlightening even for people who think they already know
Format: Kindle
I was a Senior Interviewer during my senior year at Wesleyan 1981 and so I worked with many of the main characters in the book. Although the book describes a later time period it rang entirely true to me. The volume of applications...the controlled chaos...the searching for a hook or a champion for an application was very familiar.
At least at Wes it seemed (and seems) that unless one's application has some unusual feature that the school is looking for that year (a particular athlete or a particular musician or a particular tough background that was overcome) the road to admission will be challenging.
An area that did surprise me was the emphasis on the family of the applicant...and the degree to which an applicant was held to a higher standard if their parents were deemed to be college fluent. I guess this makes sense and actually provides a leveling of the playing field but it was surprising none the less.
It may also be surprising to some that these days you don't just need to convince the gatekeepers that you could be successful at the school..you must also show how your presence would enhance the school. This is of course an enormous burden for most teenagers.
Like it or not this is the reality at many "top" schools. If you or your child is applying to college you owe it to yourself to read this book....either to understand the game or to make an informed decision not to play.

What is better? The overachieving 6 or underachieving 8?
Format: Hardcover
First, let me say that I thought that this was an excellent book and would recommend it to anyone who is at all interested in the college admissions process. Second, I was surprised at how many of the reviewers seemed shocked--shocked!--that applicants got bonus points for coming from minority backgrounds. Was this some kind of revelation? However one thing that surprised me a little bit is how--even moving beyond race entirely--the more advantages you have had in life, the more disadvantageous it will be for your admissions process. For example, I was unaware that having successful parents would be, in essence, held against you on the theory that more would be expected of you. While other reviewers have (jokingly?) said that they would advise their white kids not to check the "Caucasian" box, I might advise my (still very young) kids to say that their parents have been unemployed their whole life.
I suppose that the main issue which this whole process really boils down to is the following: As a college applicant, is it more important to succeed in life relative to the world around you (i.e. relative to your classmates, to others of your race, to others of your geographical area, to your own parents' life and accomplishments, etc.) or is it more important to succeed absolutely and not on a relative scale. This book clearly informs us that the answer is the former and not the latter. Whether that should be the answer is another question.
For example, say that a student's entire life could be distilled into 2 numbers each on a sliding scale from 1-10. The first number is simply your academic performance (grades, SAT's, course load, etc.) The second number is your background (race, economic circumstances, gender, etc.) In the case of Wesleyan, it seems clear to me that they would rather have a student whose first number was, say, a 6 if his or her second was a 2 (take Mig for example in Steinberg's book) than a student whose first number was an 8 if the second number was a 9 or 10 (take Tiffany Wang for example). Whether that is the right approach is certainly a legitimate issue for discusion and I'm not saying that it's not.
I suppose that one of the things that would be interesting to know (even though one never really can know of course) is whether those numbers will change in the future. For example, if one were to know that Mig would always be a 6 and Tiffany would always be an 8, would that change the analysis as to which is the right approach? I suspect that part of the reason that a school like Wesleyan would favor the overachieving 6 over the underachieving 8 is due to the hope or expectation that those trends will continue in the future and that one day the 6 will actually be ahead of the 8. And maybe that's the way it works. Who knows.

You will find out how a selective private college evaluate and admit students
Format: Paperback
I'm a high school counselor and college advisor. Fifteen years ago when I started my college counseling position, I struggled to understand or explain to students and their parents how a selective private college evaluate and admit students. It was this book that helped me understand the essence of selective private college admissions. Compared to other dry theory books, this book tells the admissions practice as stories that are easy to read, understand, and associate with. I highly recommend this book to students, parents, and new counselors.

Who edited this mess?!?!?!?
Format: Kindle
This is a very interesting work of nonfiction. I found it intriguing and read it very quickly. I actually got invested in these students and their stories and their journey to get admitted to the college that was right for them. BUT, and this is a big but, this book is so poorly edited, it is disgraceful! If a person were reading this for research purposes, and it could be useful for just that, good luck to them. The dates are all over the place. At one point, the kids are being considered for the class of 2004, then it makes a reference to the current year as 2000, then it reverts back to 2004 for a long while, then it mentions how the kids--currently at their various chosen colleges--reacted to the events of 9/11/01. What the hell? It's very confusing. It makes it very difficult to keep things in context.

Abundant information but needs update
Format: Kindle
I struggled a little when try to decide how many star to give. It's an excellent book and very informative. It feels like I was not reading a college admission advisory book, which very often are dry and mechanical. It feels like reading stories of students and AOs, I got attached and involved emotionally, and really felt for them. But there were abundant information in the book, I was able to use the book to answer most my questions. If you need a list of YESs, Nos, Warnings..., then this is not the book for you. If you need to know what happens during admission process, then this is an excellent book for you. Based on the information in this book, I was able to extract my own conclusions.
The reason I hesitated if I should rate this book as a five stars book is how long ago it was written. A lot has changed. Many aspects stayed same, but many aspects changed. It will be misleading if this is the only guide book you are using. Wish everyone a great college application season.
