5.0 out of 5 stars NO MORE DRUGS!, December 7, 2000

By 

PAUL LAMON (Morrisville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Canary and Chronic Fatigue (Paperback)

We CFS sufferers are going to change the face of medicine. This book explains why and how. If you have CFS you must stop going to any doctor who prescribes a drug to relieve your symptoms. You must stop going to an allergist who is still giving shots using the useless RAST test. They are just making your coffin more comfortable. Get to a holistic physician who knows that treating and reversing CFS requires nondrug nutrient therapies and effective allergy treatment. Parents should especially read this book to realize the extreme importance of identifying allergy problems in their children now - before they develop autoimmune disorders and emotional disturbances when they get older.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the first time in my life, someone understood !, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Canary and Chronic Fatigue (Paperback)

This book tells the story of my life.

When I read the book I felt enormous relief. For the first time in my life, some one actually described accurately my illness - starting with the symptoms,going through phases of the illness and right to the impossible struggle of trying to get diagnosed - and acknowledged !

I have had most of the classical symptoms of CFS for years - but until I read this book I never quite realised that they were connected.

Neither did any of the family doctors that I went to.

The book is easy to read and optimistic - because it gives hope for healing, and because it treats CFS for what it its: a physical situation that needs healing.

It would teach some physicians about how patients feel when they come to a doctor who is simply ignorant and unwilling to learn.

If my physicians read it and understood - they would realise that CFS is a real, physical thing - it's not depression, it's not shirking it's not imaginary !

5.0 out of 5 stars It really helped me, February 16, 2005

By 

Bruce Robertson (Paraparaumu, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Canary and Chronic Fatigue (Paperback)

I have had ME/CFS for 13 years now and for the first 4 life was bad. I read everything I could and this book provided the best solutions for me!
Even so it took me 5 more years for things to work as it took me that long to find a doctor in New Zealand that agreed to try and help - finding a medic to help is the most differcult task. Even then we had to agree on a modified treatment but at least he read the book as well and it helped.
Dr Ali provides a detailed solution to the problem. The solutions offered will not apply to all but they will provide a strong basis to find your own
