Good Info- but more Vitamins-related than Biblical-related, September 24, 2003
This review is from: The Bible Cure For Fatigue: Ancient truths, natural remedies and the latest findings for your health today (New Bible Cure (Siloam)) (Paperback)
I have had Fibromyalgia for over 10 years and am also a Christian. So naturally I was very interested in Dr. Colbert's book, "The Bible Cure For Chronic Fatigue And Fibromyalgia" which by its title, seemed to combine these two elements. I found the information presented to be interesting. However, I do think the title of the book is a bit "misleading!" The majority of the recommendations in the book are based on healthy eating, supplemented with the more popular vitamins on the market today such as CoQ10, 5-HTP, and others- rather than giving the readers an actual "Biblical CURE or SOLUTION" as the title indicates for those suffering with FMS or CFIDS. I guess I thought Dr. Colbert had found a "scriptural basis for an overlooked formula" that actually CURES FMS and CFIDS as the title implies. If this is what you are looking for also, you will be very disappointed with this book. If however, you enjoy books that help you verify and confirm your symptoms of FMS or CFIDS; discuss healthy diets and foods to eat; and provide suggested vitimins to take for better health - then this book will satisfy you.

Not worth it., September 1, 2005
This review is from: The Bible Cure For Fatigue: Ancient truths, natural remedies and the latest findings for your health today (New Bible Cure (Siloam)) (Paperback)
I decided to read this book out of curiosity's sake. I wish I hadn't bothered. I don't think Colbert really understands what FM or CFS really are, nor does he really understand the best way to treat these illnesses. While diet changes certainly help many, it is not the be-all and end-all in treating these illnesses.

The most ridiculous book I have ever read on my disease!, February 28, 2009
This review is from: The Bible Cure For Fatigue: Ancient truths, natural remedies and the latest findings for your health today (New Bible Cure (Siloam)) (Paperback)
I have the actual diseases and I have been fighting the ignorance of people saying there is nothing wrong with me or it is all in your head. But the stupidity of thinking healthy eating will alleviate the symptoms is irresponsible journalism. Where is this author's doctors license? I think it should be revoked. It is easy to write anything these days and to get it published, but there are people who read these books in the hopes they could find an answer to their conditions.
This book, while it won't "hurt you", it certainly won't help you!
I bought this book at a book sale for $0.50...I paid too much.
Save yourself time and money. Don't buy this book.
