Summary: Finally, an answer to my problems!!!
Review: After suffering for many years from acne, dry skin, hair falling out, anxiety disorders, occasional insomnia and hormonal problems like bad pms, I have finally found what the causes of all these problems were; Copper toxicity! After reading Gittleman's book, I had a hair mineral analysis done and my copper levels were 5 times the normal limit! I have been following the advice in this book for 3 months and I feel like a totally new person. A very overlooked problem that could be the cause of many health problems especially for women. Go buy the book!

Summary: Superb
Review: As a physician working with hundreds of "tired" women, I found this book intriguing to say the least so I put Gittleman's theory to the test. Out of the 50 women I have tested for serum copper and zinc levels nearly 75% of them have demonstrated a zinc defienciency and copper dominance. I am treating these women with Gittleman's protocol and diet plan. Nearly 50% have already noticed a more even energy level - it has been 6 weeks since they have been on the plan - and all say they feel better overall. Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a pioneer and ahead of the crowd by at least five years. I am glad that my patients can take advantage of her insights now. A brave book and I feel so sad that so many readers have truly missed the boat on this one.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Even though this is a small paperback book, Ms. Gittleman has managed to bore the reader with redundant stories and medical terminology. I was so bored with the first half of the book, that I had to skip to the end to find out "Why I Am So Tired" and what I could do to cure my coper imbalance. Unfortunately, after reading the book, I still have many questions that were not answered. Save your money!

Summary: Why Am I Always So Tired?
Review: I could not put this book down! It was easy to read and informative. I had an analysis done and sure enough, I have a copper overload. Finally I know why I am tired all the time. This book is a must read! I plan to give a couple of these books as gifts. This seems to be a major problem and people don't even know it. Doctor's should read this book, it may help their patients. Being tired all the time is not all in our heads.....

Summary: There's Something To this Copper Overload Syndrome
Review: I just whizzed through WHY AM I ALWAYS SO TIRED and for the first time I finally have hope of overcoming my chronic fatigue... I have tried everything from COQ10 to LCarnitine to Ginseng. Although I felt a little bit better, I feel I am putting a bandaid on an underlying problem that has still not been identified by my doctor....that is until this book. It sure makes sense because I have been on birthcontrol and now take HRT like so many women of my generation. I now take the zinc, manganese and adrenal support the author recommends...I know her program is working and I am starting on the diet tomorrow.

Summary: Copper Culprit Identified
Review: I picked up this book because I had never heard about the copper connection to fatigue. After tracing down many of Gittleman's well referenced experts and taking some special blood tests, I found out I was zinc deficient and copper toxic. I have been on a copper elimination program and for the first time in years am now sleeping without sleeping pills. Thank God someone had the guts to write about a neglected area of health. It may not be well known, but if this book gets out there who knows how many people will be helped?

Summary: thorough job of explaining cause, symptoms, and treatment
Review: Thank you Amazon Books for recommending this book in your recent e-mail. Three weeks earlier, my doctor gave me the news that my hair analysis showed a copper level so high that it was off the chart. Ms. Gittleman does a thorough job of explaining the cause, symptoms, and treatment of this condition. Her facts and advice are right in line with my doctor's explanation and treatment plan. I highly recommend this book to women who have received a medical diagnosis of CFS, yeast infection, SAD, PMS, and similar illnesses. Read the book and have the hair analysis done. You just might discover, as I did, that your illness is caused or aggravated by a copper overload.

Summary: Finally, an answer to my problems!!!
Review: To Melissa Diane Smith and Others.... This was an exceptional book! What you have written makes so much sense that anyone complaining of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia would be wise to buy this book and read it. I am a certified physician assistant and a candidate for the doctor of naturopathy degree for healthcare professionals and I have referred several people to this book, Syndrome X and Going Against the Grain. I think that all three of these books feed on each other and would be quite helpful to anyone, not only people suffering from chronic diseases. These books give options for self-improvement without the use of multiple medications. The American people of today need to take a closer look at their treatment plans and get back to basics and fundamentals of natural health. The medications and foods we eat are our biggest problems and these three books address those problems and methods of correcting them that are essentially easy, but will take determinated and an adjustment of will power.... Thank you to the writers for giving us such eye-opening books in an easy-to-read format. Marge Cook
