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!

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.

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.

Whether you go ahead and work with a therapist using this approach or not, just the reading alone can be enormously helpful. It was for me. I think with this view I am finally getting to the root of why the CFS took hold and what causes the various symptoms, and this education/perspective is helping me get going so the symptoms can loosen their grip, not only for CFS but for other sub-optimal reactions my body has developed over the years that lessen a full experience of life.

In a word, this book was life-changing. I thought I was recovered from CFS, but I have made great strides since reading, and internalizing, the smart tenets of this book. It's a quick read, and Dr. John Eaton makes all the concepts simple and easy to understand. A must-read.

I read the book a year ago, and I've been going to Reverse Therapy sessions for about 6 months. I'm about 10 percent better, and I will persevere as that's more benefit than I've gotten from anything else. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about trying Reverse Therapy, and I would recommend it to anyone with CFS to have as a tool. Reading it in conjunction with John Sarno and Freedom From Fibromyalgia (Selfridge and Peterson) will help.

I read (and reread) this book after beginning reverse therapy. While I am finding the therapy very important, reading the book has given me a great foundation for understanding the process, and provides reminders and support between sessions. Applying the principles described in the book is life-changing, and not just for people who have CFS. Anyone wanting a healthier and happier life can benefit from the mindset and strategies described here.

how are people rating this book so high, "reverse therapy a cure for cfs", the title and book/reviews are so misleading.

ive been suffering cfs for 3 years this book is not a cure really doesnt give any thing from reverse theraphy the whole book talks about the history of cfs and other doctors work , it explains none stop the benifits of reverse therapy, but doesnt actual give any of the reverse therapy out , every chaptar ishow reverse therapy works/cure yr cfs then the chaptar is full of how great its is , followed by the next chaptar now we will look at reverse theraphy and so on....

it never gets the the reverse therapy or how it , and how to use it , the whole book leads u up to the final page of come to see dctor blah blah and receive reverse theraphy great why write a book based on an business card.

the only way it gets 2 stars is due to the info on previous studies from doctors and the info on -WHAT- might cause it , its lso a good book if u are thinking of recieving reverse theraphy and wanna know more before you agree/start reverse therapy.

THIS BOOK WILL NOT CURE YOUR CFS.
