Summary: Very disappointed
Review: After reading half way through, the author gives tons of medications, vitamins and suppliments to take. If I took the advice of this book, I would be taking pills, suppliments and vitamins all day long. I was very disappointed.

Summary: Excellent "alternative medicine" overview of CFS
Review: Although I tend to be skeptical of alternative medicine, this very well written and humane treatment of CFS from an alternative medicine perspective is very thorough and informative. The author takes a positive approach and rejects both the view that CFS is non existent and the view that even if it exists, there is nothing one can do about it. Certainly for people who have difficulty getting their physicians to take them seriously this book has a great deal to offer, in terms of diagnostic testing and potential treatments. Highly recommended.

Summary: a waste of paper
Review: Anyone who claims to be able to cure ME/CFS obviously has no idea what they are talking about. Similarly, anyone who would ever use the terms chronic fatigue and CFS INTERCHANGABLY, obviously has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Idiots like this have no idea of the harm they cause.

Summary: A Must-Read for all Doctors and CFIDS patients
Review: As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and a person diagnosed with CFIDS (1992)-- I highly recommend this book!The treatment protocols are indispensable for all physicians that are treating CFIDS patients. The book has a truly integrative approach and discusses medications, nutrition, herbs, etc. This is also the first book that I have found that actually discusses the intravenous vitamin therapy know as the "Myers Cocktail". I recommend that all of my CFIDS patients read this book. This book helps patients make empowered health care choices and also educate their own doctors about cutting-edge treatments. This book gives PWCs hope that they can feel better and offers a road map to guide each person on his or her journey toward optimum health. For more information check out: Dr. Teitelbaum's website at www.jacobteitelbaum.com (he has a physician referral page to help you locate a doctor in your area) --- the CFIDS Assoc. of America at www.cfids.org and --- The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians at www.naturopathic.org

Summary: BEST BOOK ON THE SUBJECT AND ONLY BACKED BY RESEARCH
Review: Before reading this book and utilizing its advice, I had gone to 12 doctors over a period of 9 years at a cost of over $20,000.
It took 7 doctors and 5 years before I even got an accurate diagnoses. The next 5 doctors took lots of money but did nothing to help me. It was not till I read this book and took it's advice that I started on the road to recovery. It is the only book on the topic worth it's purchase price and the only one promising a cure based on double blind, placebo controlled scientific research that has been recognised by the medical community. In the one year since I have started following the protocol suggested by the book I have gone from a 2 to an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of energy, lack of pain, general health and quality of life. My husband who has neither chronic fatigue nor fibromyalgia and who has always regarded himself as healthy and fit, did dr. teitelbaums web based diagnostic and has gone from a 7 to a 9 on the same 1 to 10 scale. I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough to everyone, sick or healthy.

Summary: Beware
Review: Book replete with generalizations. Lists volumns of vitamins and supplements which we can try by the hunt and peck method. But, he'd be glad to help guide us by diagnostically evaluating the online questionnaire (for a fee) and reading the submitted lab work. The lab work is quite extensive, expensive and may or may not be covered by ins. or accepted by the hospital or lab. Beware this is where the nightmare begins!

Summary: EASY TO READ! BUY THIS FOR YOUR DOCTOR!!
Review: Dr. Teitelbaum has put into one very readable book information that sufferers of fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue have been craving for years. His direct approach and common sense solutions are like a much-needed rain for a parched life. The book was recommended by a doctor specializing in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, and I presented it to my regular doctor so that he could help me with the unique problems FMS and CFS patients face. A friend of mine who also suffers from these syndromes has started implementing Dr. Teitelbaum's suggestions and has had significant improvement of her symptoms. (I am not able to start my treatment until certain testing is complete, for the sake of accuracy.) The doctor also offers himself as a resource if you are unable to get the help you need elsewhere. If you or someone you love has either of these syndromes, this book is a must-read.

Summary: GOOD BOOK!
Review: For the past few years after being diagnosed with FMS and systemic arthritis my rhuematologist couldn't give me much information on the FMS. I needed answers to my questions and how to help myself. I came across this informative book which answered some of my questions. I feel this book would be more helpful for people with CFS than FMS. The book doesn't cover everything, but I found it to be a good start.
