RELATED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS
- Dennis Reidmiller, D. D. S. (orthodontist)
Dallas, Texas
"Over the past years, my relationship with Dr. Phyllis
Books has been as a patient myself and as a referring doctor to
her practice.
As a patient, I can attest first hand to her ability and to the
success of her treatment.
I have referred multiple patients to her, primarily for their
TMJ dysfunction, which I found was related to a dyslexia problem
and
also sacral/spinal problems or misalignment.
I have been very impressed with the improvements that my patients
have undergone with her care. Her treatment modality has been a
tremendous help to my patients with their TMJ, making my job considerably
easier in making their dental corrections.".
- Pam Bell, Ed.D., LPC, CBT, EEG Biofeedback, Cert. Provider
Santa Fe, N.M.
I first heard about Dr. Books through a patient of mine who was
having trouble with alcohol, among other things. Within several
sessions with Dr. Books, this patient lost her desire for alcohol
totally. I had been working with this patient for about a year,
and many facets of her life were improving. However, this wonderful
change that occurred so quickly and seemingly effortlessly stirred
my curiosity.
That was eight years ago. I have referred many patients to her
and vice versa.
We have developed a good and respectful team approach with many
patients we have since shared. I appreciate her work immensely.
She is intuitive, compassionate, and thorough in her approach to
her patients.
- Barbara Graham, Ph.D. (psychotherapist)
Dallas, Texas
I have known Dr. Books for 15 years and find her to be extremely
insightful, competent and caring with her patients. Because of
the confidentiality of my work, several of my patients have experienced
her work and have reported to me their positive changes. They don't
know I know Dr. Books; and when I talk with Dr. Books, I don't
reveal who tells me all these wonderful things about her. I just
smile quietly on the inside.
Bev Gipple, M. Ed. (tutor)
Dallas, Texas
Over the past 12 years, Phyllis and I have discussed many learning
problems of our various clients. She is always eager to hear my
views as a tutor and former special education teacher. We discuss
philosophy, practical learning strategies, personality profiles,
family patterns – in short as many variables as we can think
of that affect the learning process.
She has assembled professionals to speak to audiences on the
various facets of learning, and I have enjoyed being one of those
speakers.
She has called me from Europe asking for testing and evaluation
materials to help her clients around the world. She is innovative
and thorough in her approach.
- Bernice Dotz, retired school teacher and tutor
Solvang, Ca.
For fifty years, it has troubled me that I had to flunk one of
two twins in third grade when I was teaching. Doris simply couldn't
learn the material no matter how I taught. I taught school for
several years, and have since started two pre-schools and an after
school care program in Solvang.
I have raised seven children, am the proud grandmother of 16
and great grandmother of five. I have tutored a lot of children
in
my day. Nowadays, I do the pre and post scholastic testing on Dr.
Book's patients. I now call my house, The House of Miracles,
based on all the miracles I"ve seen Dr. Books perform.
The first miracle I witnessed was with my grandson Luke, who
was 14 at the time. He had flunked two grades. I know he was trying,
because I spent hours and hours tutoring him. After Dr. Books worked
with him, his walk went from pigeon-toed to straight, he grew _" and
he could read fluently!!
I felt her work was too good to be kept a secret. I started bringing
her out to California a week a month to treat patients. Once my
store (Viking Men's Shop) sold, I decided to dedicate the
next ten years of my life to helping her get this work out.
Children are the key to our future. It makes me feel good to
be able to help children get a better chance in life, thanks to
Books Neural Therapy™.
- Richard Rice, D.C. (chiropractor)
Dallas, Texas
Dr. Books started practicing in my office in 1986. She knew she
wanted to work with children with learning differences and made
a name for herself. Even though I used to kid her about being out
of the office more than in (she travels and teaches a lot), over
the years, patients consistently go out of their way to track her
down. She is the best at what she does. Her reputation speaks for
itself.
- John Gedye. M.D.
Detroit, Michigan
I first heard Dr. Books speak on head injuries and learning differences
in Texas, and since then have collaborated with her on research
project preparations. Her breadth of knowledge spanning several
fields, and how she brings it together these facets is quite intriguing;
and a challenge to put into a restrictive research model. It has
been a pleasure to help graph and chart her findings.
I have personally witnessed her work on my colleagues and during
a particularly stressful time in my life, believe she prevented
me from a heart attack. After that session, my life took an interesting
turn, and my most real and honest work took form.
- Karen Belknap
Principal of Rylie Academy
We opened a charter school in 1998. Over 70% of our kids are
behind in academics. Most of our high schoolers don't read beyond
fifth grade level. Dr. Books was able to bring the reading scores
of the children she worked with up several grade levels in a matter
of days. One ADD child seemed to grow "common sense";
another child with autistic tendencies became more sociable; yet
another one's handwriting improved drastically. The parents
and teachers and I are extremely pleased.
LEARNING DIFFERENCE COMMENTS FROM PARENTS & PATIENTS
- "I got my report card today. This is the best report care I've
ever got. And also today in volleyball I got picked to be on the
volleyball team."
Matt Scoggins (age 11)
- "Matt made the best grades on his report card that he's made
in the last three years. Last year his coordination was such that
he would never have been
picked on anything. The coaches and parents of the soccer team he plays on
say he's improved 100% over last year."
David Scoggins (Matt's father)
- "Teresa has really started to feel
better and does not complain of hurting, has a better mental attitude
about herself and is
improving
in her school work."
Teresa's mom
- "I use to hate school and want to miss. But now I want to go to school
and I know
I can pass. And I feel better. I like coming here a lot."
Jessica (age 11)
- "When I first came I was an average baseball player, but now I can hit
the ball, catch and throw it a lot better. My reading has improved tremendously.
I'm
not sore in my neck and shoulders."
Chuck Laird (age 11)
- "From the second treatment on, I could tell a big change in everything
from writing
to reading to athletics; even a change in my self-esteem."
Robert Sparkman,
Jr.
- "I have noticed an improvement in remembering strings of digits and remembering
(long enough to write down (a telephone number of the first hearing.
Often before, the number would be jumbled up in my head."
Marge James
- "One month into treatment Donna read a 500 page novel in two weeks. Before
she
would not have even attempted it."
Nan Murray
- "How has Books Neural Therapy™ helped? The thing that comes to mind the
most is that unbeknownst to me, there are words to songs that mean
something! Not the
jumbled and jabbered, not quite understood words that I had heard
before.
I understand my kids better. When they talk I don't get this blank
feeling in my head that I knew the kid just said something.
I also haven't got lost nearly as much lately. In my job, I drive
all over the place and I haven't gotten turned around. I have a
better sense of
direction…where I am….which way I'm going….I don't
have as much trouble remembering figures and dates.
It's worth the effort."
Gary Brewer
- "As a mother of three dyslexics and a grandmother of five,
I felt we had encountered just about as many challenges as one
could endure. Each
child had his own personality
and degree of disability. We all felt we had pursued and survived
as well as possible, until we were introduced to Dr. Phyllis Books.
Her unique philosophy, method, techniques and results were far
beyond current approaches. She addressed the whole person, including
eye tracking,
reading, emotions, coordination and temperament, just to name a few.
Then to our devastation, early childhood sexual abuse was diagnosed
for all three children. Again Dr. Books came to the rescue in releasing
the trauma stored in the body, as trauma always is. "The body remembers what the
mind forgets!"
She has brought betterment into our lives, to say the least.
Three generations want to say, "Thank you, for being you!"
Betty Brewer
- "I was referred to Dr. Books by my therapist.
I was diagnosed several years ago as having right and left brain
deficits
which caused
learning disabilities. My greatest problem was with reading and comprehension.
I read
very slowly and often would have difficulty remembering what I had
just read. My work involves a great deal of reading at a fast pace.
I was concerned
about
keeping my job so sought help.
Initially, I noticed
that I began to remember names. I also noticed that after reading
a sentence I could rewrite more of it by memory.
Then around
the sixth
week I felt like a fog had lifted from my brain. I could think
more clearly. I like Dr. Books very much and I feel she is very interested
in my progress. She is as excited about my progress as I am."
Pat
Pearson
- "After the treatment I have found I am enjoying to sew
and read. I have begun to read a novel and remember what I've
been reading. Sewing is no longer
frustrating. I don't feel dumb any longer and I think that
has improved my self-image and self-confidence."
Catherine
Curby
COMMENTS FROM PARENTS AND PATIENTS
"It's been about four months now, and his handwriting is better
than when he was on medication. His attention at the cafeteria
is remarkable. He sits and eats his meals without running around.
If I have another hyper child, I will not drive forever and get
Ritalin, but I will drive 6 hours a day to come to Dr. Books.
This is not paid advertising."
Kathy Mikulic
- "Malcolm was very depressed from the Ritalin. We knew we
had to do something to change how he felt about himself, but still
pay attention in class. We heard about Dr. Books and knew we had
to give her a try. Malcolm has changed so much; he's back
to his loving self. But we don't have the child that jumps
and yells in public, hides in all the clothes racks at the stores.
His teachers have seen and been with Malcolm with medication,
with medication and now with Dr. Books' treatments. They all prefer
Malcolm now. He's back to his loving and caring personality
and he pays attention.
He also likes himself because he can play baseball and he's
one of the best players; that pretty good for someone who could
never catch or hit a ball and was very scared of it."
Malcolm's mom
- "Money is not the issue, because you're correcting
your life. Parents, understand that your kids have an opportunity
now to correct their lives and get ahead whereas with adults, it
means starting all over for us. I wish I had started this when
I was 9.
A lot of people think I'm crazy for going through this treatment
but I don't care. They don't understand what it is
like not to be able to read. Money is nothing if you can't
do what you need to do in life."
Glenda Bullard
- "We made arrangements to find a way to pay for this, because if it helped..then
it was worth it. And it has helped, and it is very much worth it to have Jared
off this medication. You can't put a price on that…..I feel like
somebody has given my child back to me."
Donna N (Jared's mom)
- We always knew Chris was a bright child.
His IQ is 124, but he was having trouble in school Chris has
dyslexia and ADD. Before seeing
Dr. Books, his grades were D's and F's. After only a few sessions,
his grades came up to A's and B's."
Chris' Mom
- "I feel fortunate about finding out about this treatment before
trying to tackle going back to school (at 50). I'm feeling great
about going
back to school. I can spend my energy now on learning instead of learning
how to
learn."
Ann Olsen
- "Heather had never brought home an "A" in her life and on her
last report card she brought 3 A's, 1 B, and 1 C. I'm real proud
of her
and she's real proud of herself. She couldn't wait to tell the world.
The treatment has been worth every penny I've spent on it."
Heather's Dad
- "I felt like the TIN MAN in the Wizard of Oz. I feel like I have a heart and that
I'm alive now. I'm not a robot anymore. And I think other
people say the same things and see the changes. Dr. Books is very professional
and very competent and also she is a very nice lady."
Jim Raymond
- "During that first session while Dr. Books was holding
points near my eyes, my vision became in focus for the first time in
years. My eyes
worked well individually, but they lacked the ability to work together.
This inability affected my depth perception as I subconsciously used
one eye for
my visual intake.
I saw improvements with my concentration. I had difficulty
concentrating with external visual input and auditory stimuli such
as movement nearby
as I tried to concentrate or even the sound of someone's hand across
the paper who might be sitting next to me in a classroom situation.
Because of my concentration difficulties, I found that I would forget
items even while doing the same project. This meant a great deal more
time completing
A project. After the initial series of sessions, I have occasionally
needed periodic readjustments for this (after an illness, for example).
Marsha Wood, Ph.D.
- "Dr. Books is so sensitive, she could hear a butterfly
scream...in
the dark.
Dennise M.
TMJ PROBLEMS (jaw joint)
- "My body hurt and I was so drunk feeling. I was running into walls,
couldn't stay awake to teach my six afternoon classes in
music; couldn't tell when the car had come to a full stop.
Headaches galore! I had to do something.
My orthodontist recommended Dr. Books. Her professionalism and
sincere interest immediately calmed me. In less than two weeks,
my hearing has returned for 3 mornings in a row now; I'm
not dizzy or drunk feeling, my energy level is back to normal,
I am teaching 12 music classes a day and feeling as spunky the
last class as the first.
In all, I am so relieved that without surgery, I have found help
(even about possible dairy allergies related to my life time of
ear infections.)
I appreciate, equally as well, the orthodontist who did not let
his pride override his professionalism and sincere concern for
my best health – and referred me to Dr. Books.
I've been telling the world about her.
Kerry Newman
ALLERGIES
- In June of 2000 I was diagnosed with food allergies. In fact, I was allergic
to all foods but 5 items (onions and sardines were part of the 6 I could have).
The
Doctor was recommending that we eliminate most of the foods for a period of time
and then re-introduce them one at a time. I am not that patient.
Dr. Books had been working with me on other health related issues. Through June
and July we worked through the various food to have my body accept them rather
than reject them.
Well, almost three years later I must relate, I have had not
one bout of diarrhea!!!!! It is incredible to me…not to have to be constantly running to the bathroom.
As the CEO of a large company, consistently leaving the office by mid-afternoon
for diarrhea is not a good idea.
Joyce McKee
- My allergy treatments have been holding well. It has meant a
whole new life for me! Thank you for all your healing.
Bill S.
HEAD INJURIES
- Almost five years ago I went over the handlebars of my mountain
bike landing myself in the hospital for four days. The medical
doctors did every test imaginable
(x-rays, CAT scans, MRI, MRA, EEG, and an angiogram) to find out why I had
stroke like symptoms on the left side of my body. Not even the neurologist
could figure
out why I was passing in and out of consciousness. They even wanted to do
exploratory surgery to which my roommate said, "Absolutely not!" I
am so thankful that she was there. So, not being able to drive,
read, spell, write, or come
up with basic everyday words like shoes, food, or car, they released me from
the hospital and told me that nothing was really wrong with me.
I spent the next month sleeping about 18 hours a day. I started
seeing a chiropractor that also did cranial work. She helped me
a little. I saw another chiropractor
whose specialty was upper cervical. She helped me a lot with being able to
stay awake, although I still couldn't figure out what was going
on in school.
It wasn't until I saw Dr. Books that my recovery really started.
Within a couple of weeks my memory started to improve. I could
come up with everyday
words on a more frequent basis. The reminder notes I would write myself began
to make sense. After about a month or so I could read, spell and comprehend.
Reading was fun again. I still remember the excitement I had when I read my
first novel after the head injury. I was ecstatic.
Whether you have a head injury or not, Dr. Books will be able
to get you to function at a higher mental level.
Thanks for everything.
Amy Shumway
- In mid-November 1997 I had a closed head (brain) injury after catching my heel
on broken concrete at a Mobil Oil Station in Dallas. I fell flat with full body
weight hitting on my left cheekbone. After regaining consciousness, I was helped
to the office where I filled out paperwork with an ice pack on my cheek. I had
no medical insurance, so an ambulance was not called and I was afraid to go to
an Emergency Room and incur medical bills that I could not pay.
I also cracked a tooth and went to an environmental dentist a
couple weeks after the fall. As we talked, he told me about Dr.
Phyllis Books, a chiropractor who
works with cranial injuries and children with ADD. He had gone to her because
he had been unable to read without falling asleep. After one treatment, it
had never again been a problem for him.
I called her from his office and she said, "Stop by on your way home and
let me take a look at you." When she examined me, she said, "You
have a great deal of new injury and a lot of old physical injury plus considerable
emotional injury throughout your entire body."
Two months after the accident, I gradually began to notice that
I was losing some ability to form thoughts or sentences and often
used the wrong words. I
would sit at the computer to write sections of my latest book but the words
wouldn't
come or they would come in the wrong order. Then the words began to get jumbled
within the sentences.
People would call and I didn't know what to say. I tried to "fake
it" in conversation, but soon began avoiding the phone. When I got up in
the morning. I couldn't remember what to do. My greatest difficulty has
continued to be with names, nouns and numbers. Soon I could no longer conduct
my business and answer simple customer questions about health, hormones and nutrition.
Within a few months I had lost my business and was living on what I had saved
the previous two years.
It wasn't until a few months later that I found Dr. Books' card and
I stood in the kitchen and wept, clutching the card and thanking God. I was in
bad condition by then. Not only couldn't I think straight, but also my
entire body was in severe pain. After each session of being worked on from head
to toe, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck! After three or four treatments,
she said I would being to have some dreams and to please tell her about them.
In the dream that was the most vivid and insightful, I was laboring
to swim down a river in about two inches of water flowing over
a rocky streambed. It was exhausting
as I swam and swam until I finally reached a walled in clearing, littered
with garbage, trash and dead bodies. I looked around and saw something
moving in the
far corner. When I made my way over to it, it was "me"!
I said to "me," "you have to get up and get out of here." "Me" stood
up and began struggling to carry several bags and suitcases. I said to "Me,
"Put that down, you can't take all of that where you
are going," So "me" put
on a knapsack, picked up a satchel and together we stepped over the wall and
walked away. My accumulation of emotional baggage came as the result of a 42
year emotionally and verbally abusive marriage.
I had a total of 17 treatments from May through June of 1998.
In July I moved to Phoenix to take care of my mother. Whenever
I came back to Dallas to visit,
she gave me some follow up treatments just to make sure everything was holding.
She has been a true lifesaver for me. I cannot begin to imagine
how I could have recovered full function without the treatment
she provided. It has been an enormous
blessing to me. I have recovered full mental function and have written four
books since then, and taught a number of seminars.
Dianne Blacker
- I was practically born on a horse I've been riding so long.
Riding was what I lived for. In my mid thirties, I had a horse
roll over on me, smashing
the left side of my face. I had lots of reconstructive surgery to rebuild my
inner ear bones and my jaws. My mother saw to it that I had the very best of
care. But 8 years after the accident, I still couldn't ride a horse again.
A friend told me about Dr. Books' work. After my first session, I just
knew she could help me. The first night I began to feel tingling and sensation
in my left jaw…I hadn't been able to feel anything since the accident.
That was only the beginning.
Over the next few months, I would book as many appointments with
her as I could when she came out here. Now, five years later, I
am confident. I can stand up
to people. I've come out of a shell. And I can ride.
Dr Books gave me my life back. I will be forever grateful.
SS
AUTISM/ASBERGER'S SYNDOME
- After working on Ted, age 16:
"I feel like I'm finally getting the chance I deserve."
Ted
- "I've been angry. We've been to the best doctors all over
the country. We got lots of diagnoses. But it wasn't until we saw
Dr. books that we actually got any help.
I remember the day she asked my son a question, and he lit up with relief that someone actually saw who he really was. How do I describe what that was like for him? It was as if, in that moment, he was redeemed.
In a note sent to Dr. Books four years later:
Many things have come to pass since we last talked, most for the better. Ted is living in Evansville, Indiana and is attending Ivy Tech Jr. College. He is maintaining an A/B average in his first semester with three courses in English, Algebra, and Business.
I will forever be grateful for your kindness and the way you touched our lives.
