[.ca] Freedom from Fibromyalgia: The 5-Week Program Proven to ... (ISBN 0812933753)

No help.:
This book perpetuates the out-dated idea that Fibromyalgia is helped to worsen by your own mentality and emotions. It's funny that Amazon.com paired it with "What your Doctor may not tell you about Fibromyalgia..." by Dr. St. Amand; seeing as how their contents completely contradict one another. If you want "freedom from Fibromyalgia," do what I did: buy "What your Doctor may not tell you..." and get better with guaifenesin like myself and millions of others. Dr. St. Amand is a doctor who knows that having fibromyalgia is what brings on depression, emotional and cognitive problems... not vice versa. This book is a waste of time for someone who wants to get better a.s.a.p, and have it last forever, unless you've been diagnosed as a hypocondriac

Sounds too good to be true but it works!:
My mother sent me this book, and being a scientist, I was very sceptical. However, I had nothing to lose and decided to follow the program. That was three years ago and I rarely have any clinical signs now. It has convinced me of the health connection between the mind and the body. I hope you have the same success I did.

It makes sense!:
I am a retired teacher. I took early retirement due to my arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Freedom from Fibromyalgia makes more sense to me than anything I've read in the 15 years since I was diagnosed with this malady. (I "read" it by way of the Readers for the Blind and Handicapped, twice.)

If you have terrible pain problems, please read this book.:
This doctor really knows how to fix chronic pain. She has fibromyalgia herself, and cured it. I went to see her about terrible chronic muscle problems due to overuse and fibromyalgia that had spread to all parts of my body. I had been dealing with this for 3+ years and the Mayo Clinic told me that there was nothing they could do. I finally gave up and tried this approach as a last resort (I am horribly skeptical of all forms of non-conventional treatment.) It seemed like a miracle when my pain cleared up and I got my life back. Most of the pain went away in 3-4 months. I still deal with it from time to time but I have the tools to deal with it now. This approach isn't easy, but with persistence it absolutely works. I still apply her methods and Dr. John Sarno's today, and am now very much in control of my disorder, thanks to her help. I highly recommend reading it and Dr. John Sarno's book, "The Mindbody Prescription." It really does work, especially it all conventional treatment has failed you.

Fibromyalgia IS cureable- don't believe your doctor.:
If you are a skeptic, you need to read this book. If you are in chronic pain, you need to read this book. If you have been let down by the medical industry or "milked" by holistic practitioners, you NEED to read this book. I am a practicing Hypnotherapist who has healed himself using Dr.Sarno's methods, many of my Toronto area clients have been helped tremendously by my incorporation of those methods into my practice of pain control and elimination. My personal experience with this book and Dr.Sarno's other books have become the cornerstone for my "Helping Hand Hypnosis" strategy of defeating chronic pain and TMS manifestations such as Tinitus, Carpul Tunnel Syndrome, Tendinitis etc. Everyone experiences some form of mindbody disorder in their life at sometime, be it headache, stomache ache, "nerves", allergies or harmless, transient symptoms like blushing. Until the medical community can explain the mechanics of blushing, don't be so eager to dispell the information in this insightful and marvellous book. Your doctor is missing the picture, as is your chiropractor, physiotherapist etc. DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER!! THis book is!! Buy it, read it again and again. YOU WILL BE PAIN FREE-it just takes understanding and a little effort on your part. Anyone giving this book a poor review is ignorant in the most harmless sense of the word. Everyone I have recommended this book to or seen as a Helping Hand Hypnosis Hypnotherapy client HAS MADE DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS. This is no placebo, (unlike passive therapies) - this is the answer. Buy this book, invest in your total relief from Chronic pain. Sound too good to be true? Read it and be liberated.
