The Treating and Beating book that's red and yellow is the SAME book as the green one. The green one is the 3rd edition and is much larger. I noticed that amazon's software tries to sell you both because the titles are slightly different - so please be advised. You can buy both but will be happier with the green one with the redwood trees on it.

This is a terrific book, it gives valid and interesting information as well as tips for improving your life, great info about vitamins, minerals and other supplements to try if you're tired of prescription drugs. And includes ways to integrate both Eastern and Western medicine, tips for a more healthy lifestyle, tests to ask for to determine if you have associated health problems. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is frustrated about being tired, and aching all the time- tips are great to help cope with this. I would really like to see the author, Dr. Murphree, in Birmingham, Alabama. In fact this my new goal.

I have read many books on related topics and was skeptical about this one despite the great reviews; nevertheless, this one is on the top of my list because it is concise and explains the underlying issues using simple terms!! Dr. Murphree uses a more holistic approach to treating fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and his expertise is evident. His introduction says it clearly: "Like onion, chronic illness is the result of many layers, each building on the one before. To get to the center of your healing, we must peel back these layers, one by one, together" (p. 9).It is not only informative by providing resourceful links, but quite relevant for serious seekers. However, as with any treatment, relevance depends on the individual and how committed he/she is at following through.
