4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book that explains many symptom "mysteries"., March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tired or Toxic? A Blueprint for Health (Paperback)

Dr. Rogers does a good job of presenting technical information in a way that it is readable and understandable by anyone. At the same time, she includes enough technical depth and references to satisfy the advanced or professional reader. This book, for the first time, not only described some of my unusual symptoms, but their significance, cause, and biochemistry. She one of the few doctors that approaches illness from an understanding of its biochemistry and causes rather than treatment of symptoms. She explains how to deal with illness at the causitive level. This is the only hope for real cures. The book covers a wide variety of illnesses. She writes that chemcial sensitivity, and allergies may be implicated in more serious diseases.

Mainstream doctors are too quick to blame their own lack of knowledge on the patient and most too lazy to evaluate new information as Dr. Rogers has done. They are also too quick to label doctors who think outside the norm as a quack. Unfortunately, thinking outside the norm is required for breakthroughs in any science. Those doctors who support tired old theories, or worse, are financially invested in the status quo, are the most vociferous in their opposition to change. Remember, they put Galelleo in prison.

Dr. Rogers is onto something very significant that will become the medicine of the future. Everyone can benefit from readng this book because we all have been exposed to chemical pollution in our environments and food. You will discover that your symptoms have causes that can be identified and cured.

My only criticism of the book are minor; there are a few redundancies, and there is no index. This is a book that you will want to refer to over and over and an index would be very handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sherry was my doctor!, February 2, 2001

This review is from: Tired or Toxic? A Blueprint for Health (Paperback)

Sherry Rogers was my doctor for a number of years. She was always ahead of her time and now it shows! All of her books are wonderful, informative, easy to read and life saving. I hope everyone gets as much from this and all her books as I have. You'll be amazed at how much you DON'T know about your body, the environment and how we are killing ourselves until you read these books. Trust me, I am only a consumer here, but I pass these books on to everyone I care about and have for years! I'm going to post this to all the books I have read by Sherry. I just can't say enough about this woman. She literally saved my life (allergies, life and health threatening mineral and vitamin deficiencies) and my husband's too (bladder cancer). Love, Susan Manchester

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a correct estimation of the problem of MCS., January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tired or Toxic? A Blueprint for Health (Paperback)

Sherry did a magnificant job of making the whole subject palatable and digestable. If you have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity or Chemical Hyper-sensitivity and you grasp the idea of toxic overload (not to mention the idea that your illness is not psychosomatic) you will be able to monitor and guide your progress toward health. I went to a doctor with a "specialty" in environmental toxicology who thought Sherry was a quack! Quack, quack to you doctor!
