Dr. Lam was first to coin the term, ovarian-adrenal-thyroid (OAT) hormone axis, and to describe its imbalances. He was first to scientifically tie in Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (AFS) as part of the overall neuroendocrine stress response continuum of the body. He systematized the clinical significance and coined the various phases of Adrenal Exhaustion. He has written four books: The Five Proven Secrets to Longevity, Beating Cancer with Natural Medicine, How to Stay Young and Live Longer, and Estrogen Dominance. In 2001, Dr. Lam established www.DrLam.com as a free, educational website on evidence-based alternative medicine for the public and for health professionals.

I haven't read it yet...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

but I have critically skimmed it so far. I've read their work and understand their perspective on this subject on the net and I have to be quite honest with you, they things that others have never discussed, things that seem to need to be considered. I want to learn as much as I can about a number of specific health issues and AFS is one of them. This may turn out to be one of the most prevalent disorders out there. Leaky gut syndrome, now known as intestinal permeability syndrome and gut dysbiosis are DEFINITELY two others. they've been linking those two to almost everything. for instance, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut or a combination of the two have been identified as the trigger mechanism for the onset of MS and Lupus. The thing is, dysbiosis and leaky gut can be reversed under the care of a knowledgeable healer and MS and Lupus can go into complete remission, but I digress...

This is a big book, with a lot of information that I plan to completely read. I'm hoping to be able to get into it within the next month. At that point, I'll edit this post... I just wanted to encourage others to consider buying this book for a more thorough perspective based on what I've learned from them so far. For instance, I was relying on phosphatidalserine at one point and they pointed out in an article I read of theirs that under certain conditions it could become the proverbial double edged sword, and they were right. Many times, real healing requires following different protocols based on, what;s really going on with the individual patient.

Some good info but a lot of hucksterism and fear-mongering too

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this book about 3 weeks ago and have read about 2/3 of it since then. Compared to your typical clueless primary care provider, this book does have a lot of good information in it. For example, it was great to finally see someone point out the link between "subclinical hypoglycemia" and sleep maintenance insomnia. (I know from personal experience how significant this link can be, but have yet to hear any of the MD's I've seen in the last year say anything about it.) The first two chapters provide a lot of good general background information on "adrenal fatigue" and very helpfully sketch out a broader picture--it's not just the adrenals, but a "neuroendocrine dysregulation" that can include both the HPA and the "OAT" axis. I found the chapters on "gentle nutrients" and the lifestyle chapters on diet, exercise, insomnia were also informative and potentially helpful.

However, I have two strong caveats.

First and most seriously, Lam is a fear-mongerer. Given that he knows that people with adrenal fatigue are generally likely to have a low tolerance for stress and a high level of anxiety, his use of graphics and scary colloquial phrases to depict possible progressions of the condition is insensitive, unprofessional, and counter-therapeutic. IF YOU THINK (OR KNOW) YOU HAVE AFS AND HAVE ANY ANXIETY ABOUT IT, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SKIP THE CHAPTERS ON THE STAGES OF THE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY THOSE GOING BEYOND WHAT HE CALLS STAGE 3A AND 3B. A mild example of his counter-therapeutic language is his using the word "crash" instead of "set-back" or "flare-up" or some such phrase. I won't even mention worse examples here--you don't need to see this kind of fear-mongering in print. Since Lam knows he is writing for people who may be chronically ill, scared, and anxious, I am left to wonder if he is merely insensitive, or actually motivated by knowing that fear can prompt people to be more uncritical consumers, for example of stuff he has to sell.

Second, the whiff of self-interested hucksterism pervades both this book and Dr. Lam's website (which you can easily find by googling "dr lam"). For example, the book's two appendices on "Finding the Right Practitioner" and "Suggested Reading and Resources" offer absolutely no links to any other specific providers, associations, websites or any other resources. His advice on finding a knowledgeable provider is vague and laughably unrealistic (interview the doctor BEFORE your initial appointment?? Yeah, right.), he actually discourages you from seeking forums, and he refers to no websites except his own. The "Suggested Reading and Resources" is just another pointer to his website (which is packed with pitches for his stuff),followed by a shameless advertisement for other stuff he's done that isn't even connected to AFS.

A few final notes: if you do go out to Lam's website, you can select "Step 3: Learn the Basics from Dr Lam" to access several quite detailed articles on AFS. The "comprehensive" article gives a good summary of the information in the book (including briefer versions of some of the stage info). If you want to get a initial take on the book before you decide whether to buy it, I'd recommend checking this article out.
Also, note that Lam offers phone consultations (I believe they are labeled as nutritional advice) with himself or his wife, who is a nutritionist. Before you try these out, I'd urge you to check out the consumer reviews of Dr. Lam as an provider, which you can find on a non-Lam website: you can access this alternative site by googling "adrenal fatigue recovery." Per one of the consumers on this website, the supplements site that provides Lam's special formulations for AFS is run by Lam's son. So apparently, he's got something of a family business riding on AFS.

Dr. Lam Needs to Write Yet Another Book (or books)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have read several of Dr. Lam's books and they are unparalleled if you are looking for some answers rather than the routine "run-around" from the medical profession. However, I believe Dr. Lam should write yet another book on the paradigms of adrenal fatigue syndrome. A paradigm is a model of how science interprets all the complex facets of something. For those looking for answers to their chronic fatigue, brain fog and histamine issues from adrenal fatigue what they often find are different paradigms all promising to solve their symptoms.

Some of the paradigms are: the Wilson's Syndrome Paradigm (excess copper and not enough zinc); the Candida Paradigm (an overgrowth of fungal infection especially in the gut); the Ammonia Brain Fog Paradigm (ammonia buildup in the blood that gets to the brain from inability to break down proteins related to sulphur rich foods); the Leaky Gut Paradigm (a porous gut lining contributing to food intolerances, nutritional deficiencies and excessive histamine created from undigested proteins "leaking" into the blood stream), the Colostrum Treatment Paradigm (colostrum treatment for leaky gut and brain fog), etc., etc., etc. These paradigms are promoted to sell books, consulting advice, websites, etc. and can be just as much a problem to the sufferer as is the run-around from the conventional medical profession that can't treat you because there is no billing code for "fatigue" or "histamine".

Lam is a good researcher, writer and apparently has learned much from his patients (or perhaps from his own experiences). Perhaps he could write a book on the Paradigms of Adrenal Fatigue to help us all sort out the confusing maze of misinformation out there. All paradigms simplify reality. A syndrome is experienced as layers of symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, histamine, candida, food intolerances, etc.). After experiencing fatigue syndrome what comes next is disease (cancer, heart disease, etc.) so dealing with the syndrome is critical.

Conventional medicine mainly deals with treating symptoms and hardly ever with causes, often because a syndrome has reached the stage of disease where it is too late to deal with the underlying cause. When a syndrome ripens into disease then it is a billing code that medical insurance can cover.

Lam should also consider a another book solely on the histamine issue as well that could sort out all the different paradigms of this condition and describes where it is related to fatigue syndrome and where it is not.

It is a very detailed look at the condition, which I have had diagnosed by Harley street practitioner. All Drs in the U.K ignore this serious condition because it is not healed by drugs and so there is no money in it for the drug companies or them either! I feel this book is hard to fully understand and implement without some medical training.
