Summary: Do Me A Favor...
Review: Before you read any farther, scroll up and look to the left column.
Click on the link that says "table of contents", read it,
and then come back here. Done? Good. That in itself should be
enough to get you to buy this book. All of Dr. Murray's books are as
thoroughly organized. You have explanations, common symptoms, and then
a whole array of dietary options and explanations of how any number of
nutritional supplements can help your condition....Michael Murray is a
standard in the alternative medicine field because of the research he
does and cites and because the supplements he recommends have found a
valid place in today's society.

Summary: An good source for those with CFIDS and their families
Review: I found this book to be very well written with an style that was casual and easy to read. The information is through when needed yet doesn't overwhelm. It has been the best on the subject of CFIDS I have read.

Rating:
Summary: Great Help
Review: Most doctors give us medication that doesn't help. This book offers real ways we can help ourselves!

Rating:
Summary: Informative without being overwhelming; helpful.
Review: Newly diagnosed w/CFS, I chose this book at random and found it to be very helpful. Lays out the basis for diagnosis, the parts of the body involved, how they are effected, and how they can be supported. Gives clear recommendations. An excellent primer, it covered all my questions without overwhelming me with medical terminology or some of the more bizarre recommendations I've found elsewhere.

Summary: Do NOT but this book
Review: This is the worst book about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that I have ever read! His suggestions to exercise show clearly that he NO understanding of CFS/CFIDS! Yes, exercise will help many people with fatigue, even chronic fatigue; but not Chronic Fatigue SYNDROME. For someone with true CFS (also known as CFDIS) exercise will make things worse, sometimes far worse!
He also talks about all kinds of other things (such as hypothiroidism) that can cause fatigue but have nothing to do with CFS. (other than the fact that if you have CFS these things have already been ruled out by your doctor and are not the cause). So long discussions of those causes of fatigue are useless if you've already been diagnosed!
There are a lot of other holes in this book. It was a total waste of money, and I'll be throwing it out!
There are many GOOD CFS/CFIDS books, buy one of those!
(such as "Running on Empty" by Katrina Berne,PH.D , "The Doctors Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" by David S. Bell,M.D. or "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, A Treatment Guide" by Erica F. Verrillo and Lauren M. Gellam these 3 books are very helpful and have accurate information.)
