In this issue several new books have been added to our list including an exciting new Reiki title by Jin Kei Do practitioner, Steve Gooch.

Also, be sure to take advantage of True Success' generous offer of extending its special Christmas discount to AltMedZine subscribers only!

Finally, if you haven't made a decision about where to take this year's holiday, we have an interesting feature on the holistic health breaks offered in the Red Sea resort of Dahab, on the Egyptian Sinai. You may also consider Scotland, where it is comforting to know that, if you did become sick, over 60% of surgeries regulary prescribe herbal or homeopathic remedies.
