Rating: Summary: Wonderfully enlightening and helpful book!! Review: As a sufferer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity for 11 years, I found this book to be extremely enlightening on the subject of healing from this condition based on correcting the colon disorder that is underlying it. This book does not just help the reader learn how to treat symptoms, but instead shows how to correct the REAL problem so that true healing can then take place - I believe if we give our bodies half a chance, they will recover, as shown by this book. The book is very easy to understand, which is great for people like me with chemically-induced "brain fog"! I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from MCS, CFS, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, or any of the autoimmune disorders!
Rating: Summary: Hope for Chronic Environmental Disorders Review: As an environmental health constultant, and as a long-term MCS patient myself (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities), I believe the adage, "a patient doesn't care how much you know, but rather how much you care." I perceive Dr. Gilbere's book to be a very caring, self-disclosing case history of a health-care professional who has been successful in her own healing odyssey and is now passionate about sharing her considerable insights and strategies with her readers.I found her writing style to be clear, communicative and inviting. I especially liked her use of the "FLASHBACK" technique, which personalized her journey along the road to improved health. Her Product Resource List, Bibliography and Resources for Testing alone, would be more than worth the price of this text. As someone with MCS, I very much appreciated her "How I Get Out of An Allergic Reaction" gameplan. It is a handy and efficacious "first aid" map for the environmentally injured who often can't think clearly and rationally for the duration of a reaction. My one criticism of this book is that it could benefit from some editing (spelling, grammar, syntax). But nowhere did I find that these "typos" impacted negatively on the ability of Dr. Gilbere to state her case. Health-care choices are very subjective. To those who feel safe only in the hands of mainstream, traditional medicine, this book may appear radical. But for those of us who want to take responsibility for our wellness and for those of us who are intolerant of most prescription medications, this book offers something priceless: a proven course of therapy and HOPE.

Rating: Summary: My clients want to continue reading this book.... Review: Being a Colon Therapist and Holistic Practitioner, this book is in our reception room. Clients come in and start reading this book and don't want to put it down. My clients, as well as I relate to what Dr. Gilbere has so astutely put into words. This is informational and practical. Fortunately Dr. Gilbere has listed not only many problems, but also a number of solutions to environmental and food caused illnesses that a lot of us can identify with.

Rating: Summary: highly recommended Review: I enjoyed reading this book, because it hit so many issues that I dealt/am dealing with. Emotionally it helped me, and it gave me some good ideas to start implementing in my quest to get healthy again. It convinced me Leaky Gut Syndrome is the cause of many problems, and Leaky Gut Syndrome can be caused by many different things. I look forward to her new book coming out in November.
Rating: Summary: i was poisoned by my body, etc..... Review: i had been feeling like the "only person in town" who has mcs problems. dr.gilbere assured me that was not the case. she was kind, caring, and worked with me via phone. suggesting herbs(and other remedies)....she called me back to ask how i was doing.....and suggested alternatives for diet, told me of a mask that came in handy on a flight back to the midwest....an air cleaner for my home; and many, many other affordable products...i feel much better, and continue to work with dr.gilbere...and respect what she has accomplished. the book is clear, and easy to understand........and i thank her.........
Rating: Summary: help at last Review: I have been searching for the answers to my many symptoms for years. My "conventional" doctors kept making me worse. This book really helped educate me so I didn't feel so helpless. Gloria Gilbere stresses that you must start at the beginning and cleanse your body as you repair it. I am having constant improvement as time goes by following the program that Gloria Gilbere suggests. The book also tells you what questions to ask your doctor (primary care physician) and what tests would be helpful to keep track of your progress.The information she gives is worth it's weight in gold.
Rating: Summary: Ammo for health Review: I have had MCS, fibromyalgia, leaky gut for over twenty years. I have read a plethoria of books and have been to the most notable in this field without relief. After reading this book and following Dr,. Gloria Gilbere's program I am, for the first time in years, experiencing less symptoms, and am feeling healthier than I thought possible. Dr Gilbere works closely with me, has the patience of a saint, considering how complicated and overwhelming this illness can be, and I get a sense that she not only cares about me but have found her to go above and beyound the call of duty. This book will change your life but one needs to work hard by sticking diligently with teh program. It then will transform your life. good luck and happy reading. Jennifer Millett New York
