Scleroderma: The Proven Therapy That Can Save Your Life

Summary: Another book of "HOPE" by Henry Scammell
Review: A must read for anyone suffering from Scleroderma. This is a well written, highly sensitive piece of writing. The information if offers, is written for the everyday reader to comprehend. It will give you hope, and information so badly needed in this world of toxic drugs. The therapy used in this book is a benign antibiotic, that has brought forth wonderful results with Scleroderma. I do think it should be read in conjunction with Mr. Scammell's, "The New Arthritis Breakthrough". I for one have Lupus, and this protocol has turned my life around.

Summary: The information in this book saved my life
Review: By the time I was correctly diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma I had skin tightening on my hands, arms, face and torso. The pain in my joints (hands, wrists, shoulders and knees) was excruciating and wake me out of a sound sleep. I was afraid of falling down and not being able to get up and was very concerned that some day I would not be able to work. My doctor told me that I had an incurable disease and my odds for living a normal life expectancy were not good. I devoured all information on scleroderma that I could find. I found Henry Scammell's book and couldn't believe the subtitle "The Proven Therapy that can save your life". I read it with skepticism and thought, how can this be? My doctor didn't mention anything about a therapy that could save my life. In fact, he predicted a painful, progressive disease that would result in my death. Based on all information I had gathered and my options I decided to try this therapy. I am happy to report that after being on this therapy for four months I started to feel better and results of blood tests confirmed it. After one year all of the skin tightening had disappeared, most of the pain was gone and my blood tests were in the normal range. I am getting better with each passing day. I am not worried that I won't be able to work anymore. THANK YOU HENRY!!!

Summary: The study described in this book just appeared in The Lancet
Review: I cannot imagine a more important book for anyone with this rare but often fatal disease - or for the friends and family of anyone with a diagnosis of scleroderma. The Lancet, ranked by many as the world's premier peer-reviewed medical journal, has just published the results of the small but critical study described in this book. Two thirds of patients completing the 48-week trial were in full remission by the end of the study, with no deaths reported from either scleroderma or the therapy. I read SCLERODERMA after a friend, who knew she was dying, was told by her rheumatologist that there was no effective treatment for her disease; subsequently she went to see Dr. Trentham and this therapy saved her life. I have a question for the reviewer at the bottom of this page. Which doctor is he recommending? The one who was willing to let my friend die, or the one who saved her life by following the protocol described in this book?

Summary: Hope at last!
Review: I was recently diagonsed with Scleroderma (the doctors thought) and have been stunned, depressed, and in a state of disbelief. I saw this book while searching about scleroderma and read it through the first evening I had it. I was EXCITED to learn that the medicine I am on IS the cure spoken of in the book!! Thank God for hope! I bought a copy for my doctor and plan on insisting on the same treatment as spelled out in the book! It is a must read.....for life.

Summary: The information in this book saved my life
Review: This book is an advertisement for one method to treat scleroderma based on a limited test. As a long time scleroderma patient, two considerations struck me: first, the book is depressingly reckless in the use of words like fatal and death. The overutilization of the negative image borders on irresponsible. Second, alternative approaches to treatment that have helped some people are totally dismissed. I would also add that the reader will learn very little about scleroderma as such from this book other than by gleaning from the examples. A much more responsibly balanced approach is taken in Maureen Mayes' "The Scleroderma Book."

Summary: this book represents is dangerous; great disservice
Review: This book outlines the treatment of this devasting disease with common antibiotics that have been on the market for years and used with no harmful side effects. I personally, have tried this method. In two years I have had remarkable improvement with reversal of symptoms in a disease for which there is supposed to be no cure. In short, I have my life back. This author has done a great service to those who suffer from scleroderma in making this information available.
