5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever written on CFS/M.E., March 29, 2006

This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)

I suffered from CFS for 13 years, but now I am recovered. Reading Dr. Eaton`s book gave me very valuable and vital clues about the process of recovery. The book is almost sufficient to treat the condition by yourself and I would recommend it to anyone suffering with CFS/M.E. or fibromyalgia. It gives a detailed overview of Reverse Therapy and how it developed from earlier theories of eminent psychologists and therapists. In addition to giving a good theoretical basis for understanding RT, this book gives a lot of practical information as well. The book gives you a good understanding of Reverse Therapy, but is a bit lacking in instructions on how to treat the condition by yourself. But I assure you: you can get well with the help of this book. I used some additional sources to learn about the process, but I would say that if you read this book, you only need a bit of outside support to get well. Which is not to say that the therapy is useless, ofcourse. If you have a chance, attend the sessions, but by all means, read the book first!
This book is THE BEST book ever written on CFS! Dr. Eaton has done a wonderful job. Thank you for your invaluable work!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good read!, March 25, 2005

This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)

A must for anyone who wants to find out the cure for M.E, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Although it seems hard to believe, Dr Eaton really has found the answer, which he describes in this book. He explains how the problem relates to a glandular disorder which is triggered by the Bodymind's need to signal distress and call for action. Reverse therapy teaches people to "read" the symptoms and understand what needs to be done to recover health.
Although Dr Eaton writes that the book was written for people who are thinking of undergoing Reverse therapy it will also be of interest to anybody who wishes to understand more about these illnesses - patients and health professionals alike. It is clearly written with lots of examples of the process in action.
Reverse therapy is an amazing discovery and I found the book absolutely fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cure, October 9, 2005

This review is from: M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia - The Reverse Therapy Approach (Paperback)

It's difficult to look back coherently at my treatment and cure (it took four sessions and 40 days) as it happened so quickly.

This book is probably the best starting point when looking into Reverse Therapy as it is clear and concise (and not too long!) and manages to explain complexed ideas with simple analogies making it easy to digest.

It seems ludicrous to me that so little is known about this in the M.E Community, and I'm still recieving the M.E magazine which raves about fish oils and homeopathy improving things a tiny bit, rather than actually looking for a cure. That cure is here. Really.

When reading this book I'd advise an open mind (I was a little cynical at first.) It's not some wild miracle cure, with healing dust and golden balls, it's common sense applied to an uncommon illness.

Just give it a go, there's really nothing to lose, and if you have M.E like I did, you've got plenty of time on your hands.
