Editorial Reviews for The Fibromyalgia Handbook

Breakthrough traditional and alternative treatments that will change the way you feel.
More than 10 million Americans, mostly women, suffer the debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia. Since this book was first published in l996, awareness of fibromyalgia has increased dramatically, as has the need for reliable, up-to-date information on the many breakthrough medications and treatments. In this revised edition, Dr. McIlwain includes a full discussion of the much touted guaifenesin and other new and experimental medications, explaining what is hype and what is hope. He also gives the latest unconventional alternative therapies such as Aryuveda and Bodywork that are safe to supplement his own treatment plan, as well as expanding sections of complementary treatments such as chiropractic, herbal therapy, and homeopathy that work to relieve symptoms. With Dr. McIlwain's seven-step program, sufferers will learn how to manage this disease and even reverse its progression in most cases.

Summary: Amazing they all love the other books by THE SAME AUTHOR
Comment: I find it very amazing that if you click on the "See my all reviews" box that these same people also highly recommend all the other books by the same author? WOW imagine that! Type in the names Harris H. McIlwain and Debra Fulghum Bruce in a search engine and see the 100 other books these people have in print. They sound like the experts for every sickness and illness known to man.
There is some good advice, but nothing new here, snake-oil at best like so many books on the market.

Summary: Very detailed and presents surprising new findings
Comment: If you have fibromyalgia, this book can change your life, as it did mine. The breakthrough medical information was highly interesting. The authors also presented surprising new findings on which foods and exercise programs actually decrease pain and inflammation--and which ones increase pain. The natural therapies presented by Dr. McIlwain were also revealing with 5-HTP and SAM-e having been found to resolve pain and depression and help aid in getting sound sleep.It was very helpful to me to hear I was not alone with these vague but high intrusive symptoms of FMS. I recommend this book to anyone with this syndrome.
