Great Book

The author is a world leading naturopath and gives you a good breakdown of adrenal fatigue and it's cause of CFS. As a sufferer of adrenal fatigue, he probably had the best understanding of what happens and how you feel of any book I have read. Heartily recommend this book.

Insightful and motivating

The best and most insightful book I've read on CFS, and I've read just about them all. It's also one of the few that left me with a feeling of hope! Dr. Poesnecker clearly and accurately describes the underlying dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system and its conseqences that make this illness so fustratingly difficult to recover from (and hard for your average doctor to understand). His explanation of both the physical as well as the psychological impact and symptoms of the illness are insightful -so much so at times it left me wondering whether he hadn't himself endured the lingering imprisonment and agony of CFS. I look forward to reading the updated edition of this excellent book with anticipation.

Satisfied reader and patient

Not only have I read Dr. Poesnecker's book, I have been to his facility for treatment and been under his care, long-distance, for over a year. His book & approach have revolutionized my long-term search for relief from chronic fatigue and related "wierd symptoms". He articulates an acute understanding of the myriad symptoms involved... from debilitating fatigue to anxiety & other mental aberrations to just "feeling ill". He explains why those symptoms result from an exhausted adrenal system and helps the reader understand how to properly approach the problem. I took the thru-the-mail saliva test he discusses in his book which pinpointed what stage of adrenal dysfunction I was under. I then began over-the-phone treatment. Within two weeks of treatment with the thru-the-mail supplements he sent me I was significantly better. Since then I've been on a gradual ascent in my energy level and sense of well-being and am experiencing the "slow miracle" that he describes in his book. His angle has been on the mark for me, and I wish I had discovered it years sooner. Best Wishes.

Excellent, in-depth treatment of the subject

This is one of the best books I have read on the subject of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The author, a naturopathic physician, shows an excellent understanding of the many facets of this debilitating illness. Many various natural treatment options are discussed. Well worth the price!
