Who is Fielding Gray? Should You Take Seemingly Medical Advice from Somebody Using Pseudonym?

Pseudonym--a name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of his or her real name. Full Definition of PSEUDONYM. : a fictitious name; especially : pen name.

I really don't mind when a writer chooses to use a pen name, especially for fiction--I've used one myself.

When I saw this book on the wall at my Reviewers Roundup group, I immediately went out to download the offered free copy [As an aside, if you're looking for one place where you can go and daily check out what's happening with books, do come to check us out!]

It's a fairly short book and so I read it quickly. It was important to me because I am now taking medication for back pain which started sometime during the winter and continued to increase until I was having spasms... I have another exam with a specialist this week...

Nothing that I could see or pinpoint was wrong, but there didn't seem to be any medical terms or backup information on what was being said. In fact, I noticed right away that there were links to other sites with little more than a recommendation. I could not tell that the writer had read and absorbed the information and was providing his or her own evaluation...

In fact, not only did I not find any credentials for this individual who was telling me he could cure back pain, I could not find a person by the name Fielding Gray.

In fact, the only place I could find this name was of a character in books written by a UK author who is now deceased...

There is no reference in the book that the write is using a pen name. There is one reference to see a doctor for some of the issues???

Now when I started to read this, I immediately thought it was what you would call a self-help book. I've thought about writing one regarding my Job Burnout, entitled Emotional Damages. But in doing that, I would qualify myself as having gone through the experience and ensure that readers knew that I had no academic credentials upon which I was writing the book.

So, is this book worthless...No, as I read it sounded like someone who hade done research on back pain and it seemed to be fairly comprehensive for an overview... But there is really nothing in the book upon which you could ensure your back pain will be soon gone...

One suggestion given was that those who sleep on their sides should put a pillow between knees... Here's what I found from the Huntington Post when I was searching for pics...


Position:The Foetus position, otherwise known as the Thinker position, is characterized by sleeping on one's side, in a curled up position. Arms are curled on top of the pillow, or occasionally one arm will be under the pillow. The hands can be in a variety of positions, but Foetus positions are always characterized by at least one hand resting near the chin.

What if that author had advised putting pillows under your feet to make their height equal to your hips... Would you have done this? What if this made your back pain worse??? At the end of this book, Fielding Gray asks for a review on Amazon....Note it does not say a review anywhere you'll find them, perhaps they aren't anywhere else?... Soooo, I'm going to do exactly what this author requested, wouldn't you? GABixlerReviews Book Provided for Review

Advocate Joan Price Provides Senior Erotica...

c. 1800-1803 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "You are so beautiful! Your hair is shining. You have a beautiful figure! You feel so good in my arms! I missed you so much! I love you to no end! Let's make love right now!" "Just like a typical guy years younger, Max is always ready to go before I am. "I am so horny," he whispers hoarsely into my ear. I smile, enjoying his eagerness... "I want to kiss you all over," he mumbles into my neck as his hands begin to roam... "There's something I want to do, and I hope you will allow me." he begins, rather formally... "I want to kiss you all over and lick your vagina!" "I gasp, feigning shock. "I'll let you as long as you do it as long and as thoroughly as you did last week." "We did it last week?" ~~~ Ageless Erotica Edited by Joan Price I met Joan on line a number of years ago when she was writing a book. Finding her name in my files, I we

The Harbinger - Continued Reading... Have you become Interested?

Nuriel Kaplan has convinced the individual to whom he is pitching his book... and she is willing to listen... “All right, Nouriel. Tell me about your mystery.” “It’s not my mystery. It’s much bigger than me. You have no idea how big, or what it involves.” “And what does it involve?” “Everything. It involves everything, and it explains everything…everything that’s happened, that’s happening, and everything that’s going to happen.” “What do you mean?” “Behind September 11…” “How could an ancient mystery possibly have anything to do with September 11?” “An ancient mystery behind everything from 9/11 to the economy…to the housing boom…to the war in Iraq…to the collapse of Wall Street. Everything in precise detail.” And it’s not only a mystery, it’s a message, an alarm.” “An alarm?” she asked. “An alarm of what?” “Of warning.” “To whom?” “America.” “Why?” “When you hear it,” he said, “you’ll understand why.” ~~~ OK, how good are you at listening to information, s

A Biker's Funeral from the Novel, Running With Wild Blood By Gerrie Ferris Finger

I’m easily amused. Lake circled the rental car around Palms Garden Cemetery. A spiked, wrought iron fence kept the dead in, otherwise, who knew? They might run out and vote. I didn’t say that to Lake for fear of an unappreciative groan. At the white stone gates, at intervals , the uniformed cop held up a hand to allow other boulevard traffic to flow past the line of bikes and cars waiting to enter the city of the dead. My skin started to hum. The voltage in the atmosphere was amped to the max despite the fanning palms doing their damndest to make this day a celebration of the dead. “Don’t anyone light a match,” Lake said. Riley "Big Red" O'Rourke We weaved and shouldered our way through throngs of bikers, some startled at seeing three people not wearing cut, sleeveless denim, or leather, or visible tattoos— until they caught the badges. They growled and spit, then went back to their conversations. Lots of fucks and fuckers bein
