Invisible Illnesses [Paperback]

Gloria Gilbere (Author), D. A. Hom. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2002

THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN FOR THE MILLIONS OF "INVISIBLE ILLNESS" VICTIMS, who are viewed with suspicion, hostility and anger in a world and consciousness that demands scientific evidence and double-blind studies before acknowledging the condition is "Real." This book will provide some of that much needed scientific evidence to facilitate validation of these syndromes. It's important to keep in mind that science does not make or invent principles; they merely discover them.

The information in this book will assist the reader in the discovery of the causes of their distress, while also providing non-drug solutions to restore health and regain quality of life, Naturally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another AWESOME book!, September 9, 2002

This review is from: Invisible Illnesses (Paperback)

Dr. Gilbere does it again here and in more detail. This book is a wonderful book that related hidden illnesses to a problem most doctor's are not addressing. Your intestinal and colon health. This is a major place to look for the cause of these so-called "Invisible Illnesses" She goes allot more into detail than in her first book "I Was Poisoned by my Body" which is a great book as well. This one talks allot about specific diets, colonics, colon cleansing etc. There are very vital tools to getting well and she talks all about them here.
This would be a very good investment in anyone's health to read this book.

This review is from: Invisible Illnesses (Paperback)

I found this book to be a life saver for me. If offered many suggestions for me to follow in order to restore my immune system. I have sufferd from MARS and her book led me to the many tools to repair my immune system. Today I have recoverd and have very little trouble living in this world again. Invisible Illness offered me light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

A must read for anyone who is struggling with sensitivities of any kind.

The Amazing Guy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invisible Illnesses (Paperback)

I am a FORMER sufferer of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Having that problem, and then completely overcoming it is my only claim to authority. That particular issue is a psychosomatic problem, as one other reviewer pointed out. The parts of the book that I read (I freely admit to not having read it all) did not address this aspect, and instead offer some kooky remidies, which seem designed to make the person feel that they are taking control of the issue by doing something noticable. This to me seems like combatting a psychological issue by teaching oneself to develop obsessive-compulsive disorder. Believing what is in this book can potentially help entrench the disorder.

If you have MCS (now more properly called Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance), do yourself a favor and see a psychologist, or a board-certified psychiatrist. You will likely be told that you have an anxiety disorder. Your psychologist (not necessarily a psychiatrist- there's a good chance you don't need to be medicated) can help you work through this so you can completely rejoin society and not have to set up complicated and painful avoidance patterns.

Accepting that one has been imposing suffering on oneself is not pleasant. But it is much more pleasant (and it is less expensive) than the potential depths to which this anxiety disorder can lead. The medical community answered the question of MCS fairly completely in the 1980's and 1990's. Look for articles by or the book by Dr. Herman Staudenmayer if you want something comprehensive.

I wish you perseverance.

Also, I have nothing to say regarding the other disorders mentioned in the book, as I have no personal experience with them and have done no reading on them.
