From the Author

Tumosa-Lawler, a victim of carpal tunnel syndrome, says, "I've experimented with the approaches in this book to help cure my own disorder. I wanted to avoid surgery at all costs so you can imagine how excited I was when I first learned about how certain foods could actually worsen the pain I was experiencing.

"Then after a little more research, I found out there were foods that could help alleviate the pain as well. I talked to two naturopathic physicians about it and when they confirmed what I'd heard, I made a few adjustments in my diet, and voila! It worked for me. I kept meeting other people who had carpal tunnel syndrome...so I decided to write this book in hopes of helping others who suffer from repetitive stress injuries."

This book changed my ability to use my right hand. I had all the symptoms of carpal tunnel; pain and swelling, etc. I eliminated the tomato products, and immediately had results. I enjoy the recipes and use them frequently to help me avoid relapse. Thank goodness I was able to get on track with this program!

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Information, BUT, March 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Eating Do's & Don'ts for Nutritional Management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Spiral-bound)

While the information contained in this book is worthy of attention. I can't help feeling that I might been able to find all of this information for free on the web. It is more like a pamphlet than a book.

Without having the ordeal and uncertainty of surgery I was able to get back to my woodworking and painting after the pain and numbness in my hands had stopped me. And the recipes are healthy and delicious to boot! Thank you!
