Editorial Reviews:
|
Autoimmune disorders are not well understood and therefore difficult to treat. The result is that there are millions of Americans who are suffering because they aren't being diagnosed properly, or getting the correct medical treatment they need. Here, Dr. Edelson discusses the most common types of autoimmune diseases, including lupus, Chron's disease, thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome, outlining their symptoms, causes, and risk factors. He describes his own revolutionary program for treating the root of all autoimmune disorders-without drugs-providing readers with new hope for getting back on the road to better health.

Summary: Just a BAD idea.
Comment: This book is literally dangerous. The author describes various people with serious, potentially LIFE-THREATENING illnesses and goes on to say how they were taken off all of their medication and miraculously *healed* with all sorts of non-FDA-approved and non-regulated nonsense herbs, supplements, and potions. It might sound like it offers hope to those that wish to stay away from modern medicine, but you know what? 50 years ago, you had five years to live (maybe) after a diagnosis of lupus - these days, because of corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs, many lupus patients can live a full, long life (20, 30, 40 years!) - real medication is how you treat real illnesses, and this book is extremely dangerous in its attempt to convince seriously ill people that they can be just fine if they snub western meds. Instead, they're likely to get extremely worse and possibly die. What a horrible book!

Summary: Great ideas when looking for drug-free options!
Comment: Having had autoimmune disorders for years, I was looking for options. While for some the drugs commonly prescribed for these disorders works, for me it did not. I was happy to see other options that are mentioned in the book that I can incorporate into my daily life. Not all of the options are for me, but neither is it for anyone with any protocol.

Summary: Same..same.. same
Comment: The "trick" to the "drug free" therapies for each category listed is basically the same, and people concerned about what they eat and personal health already know this stuff. Searching the internet for information on these disorders is more helpful than this book.

Summary: Alternative Treatments for Autoimmune Conditions
Comment: For me, this book was a more holistic supplement to Mary J. Shomon's book, Living Well with Autoimmune Disease. It is logically formatted and is an easy resource for the specific condition about which one wishes to learn. The plus is it offers medical treatment and counters with non-drug treatment options for autoimmune conditions. A glossary and an appendix add to its value as a resource.

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: Don't let the previous review scare you. The quackwatch guys are the quacks themselves. Barrett, who heads up the quackwatch "research", is not a board certified doctor of anything and has been sued a bunch of times. The book itself is excellent and describes a treatment protocol that works. This protocol brought me back from near death when no local doctor could even figure out what was wrong with me. The protocol has also significantly helped our son who has autism. The "best" specialists told us there was no treatment for our son's autism and he would be permanently institutionalized by the age of 7. However, like many autism kids doing biomedical treatments, including those listed in this book, he has almost recovered. He's now 8 and attends a regular school where he performs on grade level. The treatments in this book work. It's definately worth a look.
