Book Description

Publication Date: August 2003

Now You Can Win Your Battle with Chronic Fatigue Possibly the most undertreated and misunderstood illness in America, the growing epidemic of chronic fatigue has more than 40 million sufferers. Written by a Christian medical doctor, Conguering Chronic Fatigue is a medical handbook that spells out the condition, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of the four most common fatigue illnesses: chronic fatigue, hidden hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia and yeast overgrowth. Dr. Forester is quick to acknowledge that much remains to be done to conquer fatigue. However, it is equally true-and even more exciting-to realize that 80 to 90 percent of fatigue patients under Dr. Forester's care either improved or were put in remission of their fatigue! Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? This book will help to get you back on the road to health and vitality!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Reader & Patient of Dr. Foresters from Pineville, L A, November 13, 2003

Dr. Forester truly cares for his patients, both physically and spiritually. He has been my primary care physician through kidney cancer, Legionaires, allergies, fibromyalgia, and CFIDS. If you have CFIDS, please do not give up!!!

In the past 7 years, I have experienced all the ups and downs of CFIDS and fibromyalgia. This book and the prayerful, caring treatments recommended by Dr. Forester, have saved my life and helped me to live a full and joyful life again. I am now able to teach school, ride horses, give riding lessons, clean stalls, and pick up hay. However, when it comes to housework I feel the CFIDS coming back (HA!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful -- this is not a cure-all, or even a cure many, September 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Conquering Chronic Fatigue: Answers to America's Most Misunderstood Epidemic (Paperback)

First, let me say I have nothing personal against the author. He really believes what he says. He is a spiritual Christian man and just wants to help those who suffer.

I'm afraid that many who he thinks he has cured have simply moved on to other doctors. I also think that several of the "causes" of CFIDS in this book are instead diseases of their own, and absolutely not CFIDS. I was a patient of this doctor for many years, and of the many therapies we tried, nothing worked. Of the people I know with CFIDS who are or were patients of the author, they all say the same thing. Those who are "cured" certainly never had the disease I have.

In 17 years, I have progressed to being totally bedridden. If I manage to get out of bed one day a month, I'm lucky. I have tried all of the therapies in this book, to no avail. This book may help you. You may suffer from one of the diseases in this book. In that case, I hope it is the help YOU need. Those of us with CFIDS must keep looking...

This review is from: Conquering Chronic Fatigue: Answers to America's Most Misunderstood Epidemic (Paperback)

I would like to say to start off that the arthur of this book is a true Christian Man and really wants to help people that suffer with Chronic Fatigue. I have been in his office on several occassions and he has neumerous patients that have been helped that suffer with Chronic Fatigue. All though alot of paitents may not believe in his treatment,there are alot of patient's that do. Just like with everything what works for one, may not work for another. I know someone in paticular that suffered for years in chronic pain. Her husbands cold not even put his arms around her to touch her. Now he can put his arms around her and touch her and she has no pain. I encourage anyone that suffers with Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia to purcahse this book. I think it will be of great help and understanding to you. If this book doesn't help you then my prayers are with you and I hope that Dr. Forester will continue his research and continue to share his knowledge of this disease and hopefully someday you will be helped........
