Summary: All about drugs
Comment: This book does a great job explaining about different autoimmune diseases.
Unfortunately, it only talks about drug cures.
I don't believe that suppressing your symptoms with drugs is a cure.
Customer Rating:
Summary: eye opener on auto immune system
Comment: I gave my rheumatologist a copy of this book. I have not finished it as yet It does make some stunning statements.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A very informative book for those who suffer from auto immune diseases
Comment: This book is well presented and full of interesting facts. Although aimed at the layman it uses rather a lot of medical terminology and certainly hits hard. If you have the misfortune to have one or more auto immune diseases and want to be informed about the course of your illness, the medication available and the research into new medication and possible cures, I would certainly recommend this book. However it is not for the faint hearted!

Summary: MUCH NEEDED BOOK FOR MEDICAL & NON-MEDICAL PERSONNEL
Comment: This book is a must-read for all who have or suspect they or family members or friends have an autoimmune disorder. It is presented in a very organized and efficent manner and is helpful to the patient as well as the health care professional. It is obvious that the authors have throughly researched all the materials necessary to present accurate, unbiased and essential information. The book is well organized, cross-referenced and covers autoimmune disorders from A to Z. In addition to the book itself, the resources listed in it are priceless! Even after being a Myasthenia Gravis patient and coping with the disorder for years, I learned more about Myasthenia by reading this book. I also gave my doctor a copy! Those of us with autoimmune disorders should make it priority read! The interviews with patients were especially helpful and those with health care professionals were excellent. The possibility of a female having an autoimmune disorder is much higher than that of a male, so the book's main focus is on women. However, it is extremely helpful to men, also. My family and friends now understand much more about my disease. Congratulations to the authors on a much awaited and much needed book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrifically helpful
Comment: I found this book quite helpful in sorting through the maze of symptoms of various autoimmune disorders. It even helped me to self-diagnose one I did not know I had. The information is well laid out; it is comprehensive and current while not overly scientific. The cross reference of other automimmune diseases is particularly useful.
