Mari Skelly and Andrea Helm, two courageous authors, have assembled an essential, detailed voice investigating not only alternative treatments for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but also the first-hand testimonies of those affected by these conditions. The truth lies in sharing our stories especially when we in this world are faced with catastrophic conditions that seem to be more wrapped up in their controversy and selected opinions than actually looking honestly at the person who has been affected on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level by these conditions and how to help them heal themselves. The authors organize this reference by introducing the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, giving an overview of the symptomology and highlighting conventional therapies, osteopathy and chiropractic therapies, Chinese medicine, mental health and spirituality, work and vocational therapy, natural healing and nutrition, exercise and physical therapy, other healing options, the narcotics controversy, the future of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and legal considerations. Throughout this reference first person accounts by those living the reality of these conditions broadens the understanding to the reader. This reference concludes with resources for further investigation, a glossary and a listing of drug trade names that correlate with these conditions.
Knowledge is power and the best tool to help ourselves.
Thank you to Mari Skelly and to Andrea Helm for bringing
this much needed publication into light. Sometimes the
struggle that we conquer in our everyday, even the thing we
perceive as the smallest, unimportant thing, may make a
significant difference to someone else in need and for this
reason alone let's keep sharing our stories and our
insights.
