Changed My Life (For the Better)

My boss bought this book for me, and I thought it was going to be just another, "yeah, you have fibromyalgia and it's a real shame, this is how you cope with it", but instead, this book CHANGED MY LIFE! (Sorry for the run-on sentence). I had so much pain that some days I couldn't get out of bed. I would find a position that was minimally pain free and not move until I was better. It got so bad that I had to use a cane so I could get to work. But I read the book and I couldn't believe the case histories. But when the pain got so bad that I thought I would lose my job, I changed my diet (hey, what did I have to lose? ) and low and behold, within a week the pain was gone (I stopped taking pain medicine everyday), the "fog" lifted and I felt better than I had in YEARS! Another side benefit, is that I have lost weight! But I recommend this book very highly. I will also say that my doctors have pooh-poohed these results, but I firmly believe that what we eat, really effects how we feel. I just never knew how much!

A must have for the Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia sufferer!

If you have or know someone who suffers from fibromyalgia (chronic muscle pain) or chronic fatigue, you absolutely must get this book. Don't waste one more minute, order it now. IT could save your life. Don't believe the naysayers who tell you that nothing can be done. There is plenty that can be done. Not all of it will work, but at least you now have a good place to get started, and techniques that have proven successful for others. Plus the book gives you excellent resources for finding the best doctors out there to get you well. Any questions feel free to contact me at srowe@nbn.net

A must have for those afflcted, needing solid facts/answers!

After many hours of searching and reading, this book combines documented clinical facts and case studies. I too suffered with these conditions and have found this book and its treatments to produce positive results! I have been in the medical profession for 20 years and had to leave the field because of my condition, but until recently, have I put these practices to the test, and have found those that work for me. If you really suffer from this, trust me, YOU NEED this book. For those interested, please feel free to write me and I'll discuss with you my own treatment plan and results..

The No. 1 book on CFS

I would describe myself as a "bare foot" expert on Chronic Fatigue, meaning by that that I have learned a tremendous amount in the past twelve months of research, and understand many times more than even some CFS specialists I have visited, let alone family doctors. I have read every book on the market and many hundereds of research papers. If I could advise a sufferer to read only one book, it would be this one. It is the most comprehensive (by many miles) and up to date of the lot. In short it is the number one book on CFS, and I should know. Other highly recommended titles are: America Exhausted (covers most of the imortant issues in a compassionate reader friendly style; any by Majid Ali; the Jesse Stoffe (although the science is all out of date the philosophy of the illness is spot on and he emphasises the immune system more than most which is important), and Teitelbaum (very oversimplified approach, but a good introduction to most of the basic issues). The books I have listed, are so good because they emphasise treatment, and believe that with enormous personal input, we can get well. The Burton-Goldberg tops this list, without a doubt.

A Roadmap to Health -- A Destination Guide to Recovery!

Have you ever wondered if your treatment protocols should follow any specific order for the quickest route to wellness? This is the first and most comprehensive guide I've read on the subject. From A to Z, sufferers from Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Environmental Illness have the necessary information, provided in one SPOT to help them in their recovery. The book provides the treatment protocol of not just one physician, but 26 total! It is a source that allows you to shorten research time providing all necessary medical, anatomical, biological, nutritional and chemical explanations of symptoms, cause and body organ/system affected and recommendations for recovery. Also included are telephone numbers and addresses of suppliers, labs and physicians. Upon completion, you will have read about multiple courses of treatment for the same symptons and be able to make informed decisions. I highly recommend this book. Even those PWC's with Brain Fog will find the guide easy to traverse.
