Customer Reviews:
this book should be in everyones library.......2007-07-06
Dr.Young certainly has written a book that helps set matters straight.
Well researched, well written and able to lead people out of the confusion we call "health advice".
I've read books on health for over 30 years, and there have been many
that stood out from the pack -but this, i feel, is above all others as
He has based his research and practice on a solid foundation -unlike the
allopathic and (to a good degree) the naturapathic systems. I wish i had ordered more as my friends all want one.
Sick and Tired - Reclaim your inner terrain.......2006-07-08
Excellent, well written, easy to understand. Once you know, you can't not know any more!
Is Acid the Cause of Your Problems?.......2006-03-01
I have read this book and I do not agree with it. Certainly eating vegetables is a good way to go and will help you lose weight- no doubt about it!
However, the author cites acid as the cause of all of our ills and diseases. Let us take a good look at that. Ascorbic Acid, you know Vitamin C, which is said to be the closest thing to cure the common cold. Guess what that is an acid.
Linaus Pauling, a real doctor, not what that got his degree online at some school that he can not reveal, used to take up to 15,000 mgs a day of ascorbic acid. Did it kill him, no he lived into his nineties, over twenty years longer than the average man. So much for acid being bad.
And the stomach what is that composed of? HCL, Hydrochloric acid, and if it did not, you would not be able to digest your food. Also that acid, destroys bad bacteria, parasites and yeast.
In addition to this there are other acids which we need to survive on, such as Amino Acids, which are in every protein you eat. Also I am sure you heard of Essential Fatty Acids, Omega 3's. Scientists will tell you they are some of the best things to eat, and are essential to the body.
The bottom line is the authors credentials are dubious at best, and he should have stuck to what is true in his book. That is that vegetables are the best thing for you and will help you lose weight and get healthier!
Cleansing your body.......2005-09-07
I totally agree with dr young's view on yeast and fungus, I have seen it with myself at only 23 and feeling sick and tired and with no energy. I managed to research the sick and tired feeling after going to the doctors for many years and being told I have a virus!!
I started on an anti candida diet 7 months ago after working out that years on antibiotics and contraceptive pill, sweet tooth, alcohol and smoking have caused my yeast and fungal to take over my body, I have felt much better but not totally, so when I came across supergreens and the ph miracle I believed it was the answer to feeling 100%.
From reading other people's stories there is too much evidence to say that this does not work!!
I'm not sure thought why people are amazed at the weight loss as it is obvious that eating more veg and cutting foods from your diet, you will loose weight!
I think the way this diet tackle disease is amazing, and I really believe that the way we treat our body and the foods we eat will have a great role in our health and well-being! Its having the motivation to eat right, but when you start to feel better this is what makes it much easier to carry on.
I am yet to start the strict diet, am waiting for my supplements to come through, but I'm feeling better from drinking the supergreens with the ph drops!!
I can't wait to feel my best!
WHERE did he go to school?.......2005-07-24
He claims to be a doctor and names degrees, but not schools. I e-mailed his website and asked them where he went to school. They didn't give me a straight answer, but told me to do a "biographical search". Why would I need to do that? Why bother to answer me if they couldn't just name a school? I still couldn't find his alma mater.
He got his "degree" from an online course, I'm now told.
I've seen his videos - he doesn't come across as being very bright. I was surprised, until I found out that he isn't really, truly a doctor the way he would have us believe.
I'm no doctor myself, but I know the human body is made up of various channels and conduits and systems. Some are supposed to be slightly alkaline; others slightly acidic. It's a delicate balance and if you really want to learn more about it, you might try a legitimate source like Dr. Susan Lark or Dr. Andrew Weil. Acid is not "bad"; what would we do without amino acids (proteins), for instance, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA)???
I'm no dummy, either, but I fell for this book until I found out more about the man. He is not to be trusted. And I wouldn't be saying this if I couldn't stand behind my statement 100%.
Book Description
Unlike a leg in a cast, invisible chronic illness (ICI) has no observable symptoms. Consequently, people who suffer from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and many other miseries often endure not only the ailment but dismissive and negative reactions from others. Since its first publication, Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired has offered hope and coping strategies to thousands of people who suffer from ICI. Paul Donoghue and Mary Siegel teach their readers how to rethink how they themselves view their illness and how to communicate with loved ones and doctors in a way that meets their needs. The authors' understanding makes readers feel they have been heard for the first time. For this edition, the authors include a new introduction drawing on the experiences of the many people who have responded to the book and to their lectures and television appearances. They expand the definition of ICI to include other ailments such as depression, addiction, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. They bring the resource material, including Web sites, up to the present, and they offer fresh insights on four topics that often emerge: guilt, how ICI affects the family, meaningfulness, and defining acceptance.

Sound Advice.......2007-01-11
This book is an excellent combination of concrete examples and reflective thought about what it means to be constantly ill. Filled with specific stories of individuals and their struggles, it also has a section on more constructive steps one can take to interact more fruitfully with ones friends, family and society in general. It does a good job of helping one to be feel understood without allowing self pity to be the dominant emotion.
Start their New Year with this book.......2006-12-27
A friend recommended this book to me when I got sick, and I'm so grateful he did. I've been sick for two years, but I know I'm not alone or crazy.
Now one of my family members has finally agreed to read this book. I plan to start her New Year with it.
Comforted and Informed Instead of Sick and Tired.......2006-04-30
Dr. Donaghue and Dr. Siegel have given us a gem of a book! By drawing on their own personal experiences as well as the experiences of their patients, they have presented a through and comforting introduction to living with chronic illness.
After months of living with my own invisible illness, I finally read this book and by chapter 2 I could not put it down. I have dog-eared and highlighted, circled and starred. I have made sure my parents and friends have read sections. It is like glimpsing into my own mind. They anticipated and answered all of my worries, frustrations, annoyances, and fears. They offered practical, sympathetic advice on how to deal with the difficulty of living with an invisible illness.
First class in a mostly invisible and sometimes "Lost" class.......2005-04-19
This is one of a handful of books that give insight and help to a problem that is killing people, if not eating them up alive.
The handbooks that are available for this topic are few, but those that are there are brilliant.
The exposition and the methods made available by this book is truly a life saver. In many respects though, we still have a long way to go. Progress will not be made unless the surgeons who treat the sufferers of this disorder/disease are made to understand what is happening. It is a very real issue, and there are some rehab staff who see it all too often, but the high paid Doctors do not acknowledge this issue.
An excellent accompanying book for this one is CRY OF THE DAMAGED MAN... and it is a traumatic book, but it shows how one surgeon came to realise what his patients were going through.
I have had people I know and care for treated look psychos by the establishment Doctors.
One of the worst places to have this range of problems is in Australia, particularly Victoria, Australia, and Tasmania , Australia.
A relative of mine in Tasmania had a horrible accident that left him with life long pain, which the Doctors and his immediate family all said were psychological. He suffered for a lifetime, and eventually killed himself to stop the pain. A couple of family members knew what he was going through and believed him. They helped him immensely, but the Doctors he was treated by were educated during the period of B F Skinner, and such a horrible legacy that man Left that it warped several generations. Including the perpetrator of some vicious books, Ainslie Mears... a Doctor very affected by B F Skinner.
In Victoria, the TAC sentences people with the problems described in this book to a lifetime of pain. The Victoria, Australia government body is all about money; there is no humanity in it. In one case a friend came to the United States for diagnosis and a treatment regime, and upon returning to the Vicious Victoria, the Doctors were livid with rage that she had gone to a place that understood her problem; she had dared to question their "God" like authority.
For those of you reading this who do not have the problems covered by the rubric of Chronic Pain, or the so called Invisible Chronic Pain, you need to learn; some people you know may be going through this, and whilst you cannot truly understand the pain, the words to say that mean the most are, I'll be there for you.
Gradually these pain problems are being truly documented thanks to major advances in technology. The Doctors who have denied the existence of this problem have a lot to answer for, and in some cases have blood on their hands.
This is truly a breakthrough book.
There are ways and means available now that can help manage these pain problems. Eventually there will be treatments. If you know someone who is going through the problems discussed in this book, a gift of this book may very well be a life saver.
This book made a difference for me, as has the various other books in this area; also, Emmett Millers work has been of vital importance.
I No Longer Feel Alone.......2005-04-03
I still don't have a name for my almost constant pain and exhaustion, but I have learned so much from this book. I discovered that I am not the only one who was told by their doctor that my pain is due to stress or depression. I struggle daily with questions raised in the book such as , "Is it just all in my head ?", "will I always be sick ?", and "Am I just weak or overly-sensitive?". The authors do a wonderful job of explaining why we ask these questions and doubt ourselves. I highly suggest buying a copy of this book for yourself and your physician !
Book Description
Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired moves beyond the depiction of African Americans as mere recipients of aid or as victims of neglect and highlights the ways black health activists created public health programs and influenced public policy at every opportunity. Smith also sheds new light on the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment by situating it within the context of black public health activity, reminding us that public health work had oppressive as well as progressive consequences.
Customer Reviews:
A must read!.......2002-04-17
Susan L. Smith has written the definitive book on the history of black women's public health in the United States! A must-read for those interested in American history, health care and women's studies. I am anxiously awaiting her next book!!
Book Description
Your life couldn't be more perfect than it is right now. You are young and, as far as you know, healthy. You are happily committed to your better half, and the two of you are about to be parents for the very first time. Elated by your dreams for the future, your anticipations elevate to the point you feel untouchable. You are on top of the world and no one can bribe you to come down. If only life stayed that consistent. If only life was really that kind. If only you were as untouchable as you think you are. Vasculitis: Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired is a candid, humorous, straightforward, no-nonsense autobiography written by first-time author, Sheri Lyn Schwar. Shortly after giving birth to her daughter, the world Sheri arrogantly stood on started to give way, crumbling beneath her, whisking her down an avalanche of health troubles. Told she may die of a rare autoimmune disease, a type of Vasculitis called Takayasu's Arteritis, Sheri refuses to let her disease define her. If you've ever been faced with a potentially life-threatening disease, you will find reassurance, comfort, vindication, validation and plenty of laughs within these pages.

Coping With Vasculitis.......2007-07-10
Since my son was only 3 years old both he and I have suffered from a deadly form of vasculitis, Polyarteritis Nodosa. We both became ill in the year 1983, which makes it almost 24 years now that we have both had vasculitis. It has been a deeply life-changing experience for my son & I -- and for our wonderful extended family and supportive group of friends & medical caregivers.
As Ms. Schwar so eloquently describes in writing of her own experiences, we also made a decision to live our lives in the most positive manner possible, seeking to do what we have called "live well." Much like Ms. Schwar, who "decided to turn her back to death's door in favor of feeling hope and seeing the smile in her daughter's eyes every day," we gradually learned to look on the experience of illness as an opportunity to grow spiritually, to become better human beings -- to the point, where today, now that my son has grown to become a fine man; and that I, along with my immediate family have become far more understanding & aware -- I finally have the strength and understanding to write a book myself, the manuscript now almost complete.
My hope is that by writing a book about our experience that it may help others suffering from vasculitis, Polyarteritis Nodosa, or any other chronic illness to live well with their disease.
Thanks to Ms. Schwar for the inspiration she has given to patients, physicians, writers and others dealing with vasculitis and chronic illness.
Best To All,
BJ Seal
COPING WITH TA THROUGH THIS BOOK.......2007-06-18
It is difficult enough for anyone to be diagnosed with this rare disease called TA and knowing that there is a resource out there to help us through this baffling condition, makes me more calm and gives me more strength to live. What Sheri, the author did in writing this book is that she has paved the way to better understand the uniqueness of this disease. Her title of the book "sick and tired of being sick and tired" aptly describes the process of fatigue,lack of energy, pain, not feeling well etc. that all TA sufferers go through and whose symptoms go undetected or misdiagnosed for years, only to be found out in the later stages of the disease. This book helped me a lot in coping with TA and living life everyday in a positive light.
An answer to prayer.......2007-06-13
This book is a must read for anyone that suffers from TA or any disease that is rare. It helps to know that you are not crazy or alone in the suffering that you and your family go through. Sherri has been through hell and makes you laugh as she tells you some of the trials she has gone through coping with this disease. Everyone in the family of a TA patient should read this book.It is wonderful and gives you hope to keep on keeping on!!!!
Great book!!.......2007-06-13
I also suffer from Takayasu's Arteritis and this book helped a lot! Schwar's casual and often humorous view of her life threatening disease, is inspirational and "down-right entertaining!" She tells it like it is, but doesn't bore you with too much technical/medical information.
I live in a small town, so to have access to more information about TA was highly beneficial for me. If you know anyone with a chronic disease, this book is great!
You Must Read This Book!.......2007-06-13
This woman is dear to my heart. She has lived through soooo much and has told all of us about it. She has made me see how blessed I am to have my life and I never take that for granted.
Sheri has the courage and strength of many. She is a true and lovely spirit. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I am so blssed to have read this book.
Buy it and read it, it will change your life!

Best book I have read.......2004-02-21
I thought it was the best book that I had read in a really long time. The day that I received the book in the mail, I started reading it and could not put it down, and 4 hours later I finished.
This is not my normal taste in books, I tend to read romance junk. I found this book interesting. It was easy to read, informative and it immediately grabbed my attention and kept it. It contains part truth, part fiction and part speculation that is combined for a perfect story line. He researched and wrote informatively. Even if you do not have an addiction, you can read this book and understand what this person in the book experienced. I would recommend this book to everyone.
it's a good eye-opener to those who don't know how to start.......2004-02-20
It was borrowed from someone at work and I had to immediately sit down and read it cover to cover. I ordered 10 copies for friends and family. I constantly recommend this book to those struggling with addiction and in deep deep denial. For those stuck in the hell of addiction, it takes powerful and bold writing to get their attention. This book does that. In fairness, this book shows a journey of quitting for the wrong reasons and quitting for the right reasons. Still relevant in today's comprehension of treatment programs. Rarely do addicts check into a 28 day cocoon treatment program and stay clean and sober forever if they haven't learned how to live in the real world with their recovery. The reality described in this book shows that living with the day to day addiction and recovery for the right reasons is paramount to staying clean and sober. It takes bottom of the glass looking up writing to get the reader's attention and that's what Bill does in this book. It's as important today as it was 10 years ago. This is a good read and shakes up your denial in ways most medical-feel good-you can do it too books out there. Those are dangerous books to an addict! His direct writing style is no-nonsene straight at you-which is what is called for in my opinion. Take it from an addict.
same old, same old.......2002-03-08
To anyone who has ever grappled with beating an addiction and moving toward a substance-abuse free, gratifying life, this book will be a terrible disappointment. It is nothing more than one man's recounting of what countless, countless hundreds of thousands of people have experienced in their attempts to free themselves of an addiction and find true peace in life.
The book's main message -- a person must WANT to be well -- before his or her program will truly work -- is probably heard thousands of times a day at AA and NA meetings worldwide.
This book offers no new insights into the recovery process. It is a primer for the uninitiated -- and not a very good one at that! Most introductory books dealing with alcoholism (and/or drug addiction) have a great deal of information about the physical effects of drugs and alcohol. Only then do they go on to discuss emotional and spiritual recovery.

Book Description
At the end of a century that has witnessed incredible technological advances, there is a vast increase in physical diseases that cannot be adequately diagnosed or treated. Recent years have seen an explosion of seemingly new conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, bulimia nervosa and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this fascinating book, Read explains how some people become physically ill in response to life changes such as unemployment, divorce, and violent crime, whereas others seem able to cope. What's more, he argues that treatment will be successful only if we understand these illnesses in the light of the patient's personality and experiences.
Book Description
Heart problems, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, swelling, arthritis, headaches, allergies, asthma, pneumonia, Alzheimer's/memory problems, inability to think clearly, bone problems, insomnia, leg/knee/toe problems, hypoglycemia, hair loss, and many more symptoms are linked to house problems in this easy-to-understand 8 x 10" book. How to detect and fix over 125 house problems, including improper electricity, that might be negatively affecting your health are included in this unique health book.

Eye-opener.......2007-03-25
Margaret Rouse Shontz sheds new light on the dangers that lurk inside our homes. In her new book, Is Your House Making You Overweight, Sick or Tired? Shontz, through personal experience and exhaustive research details the potentially harmful effects of common household products, appliances and improper electricity.
This book is a real eye-opener. The very place one would consider safe could, in fact, be the breeding ground for illness. Shontz new book gives you good cause to do some housecleaning of the `not so conventional kind'.
Not for me........2007-03-23
I was hopeful about this book having a plethora of info, but for me somethings were too obvious, and others were way over my head.
I didn't even finish reading this one, sometimes I got a little put off by the authors reaching for a connection between her house and every symptom she and her family experiences. Seemed like every minor body symptom, she'd attribute to a change in her environment. I simply cannot be that OCD about it...Some may like this book, some will hate it. If you are completely ignorant about your environment and diet having an affect on your health, it might make you more mindful about the topic.
Handbook for a healthy house (and a healthy you!).......2007-03-13
If you've "tried everything" to keep from getting sick all the time, read this book. Chances are, you'll find that you did not try everything. The author gives various details of how the house we live in and what makes it "tick" can ultimately make us ill. With over 20 years of experience and research into this subject, Margaret has tracked down the many causes of her family's illnesses, many of which were caused by the very home they live in. This book will make you think twice about your home and what we normally take for granted in our home, such as the electricity, hot water heater, etc. A very interesting read.
RX for Sick Homes.......2007-03-08
After reading this book by Margaret Shontz, you will look at your environment and house in a different light. With 20 years of observation and research as background, she shows the reader that eating well and exercising are only the tip of the iceberg when caring for your body. Margaret has the obvious desire to share her experiences and help others, as she relates how everything in her home affected the lives of those in her family. She makes a powerful case for many of our ills coming from our environment and what to do to create a home more conducive to health and wellness.
In these days of attempting to cure an ever-increasing number of ills with more chemicals, it's refreshing and encouraging to read "Is Your House Making you Overweight, Sick or Tired?" Dangers we never even think of lurk in our homes and environment. Margaret's prescriptions are not always easy but provide much needed answers where other sources of help have failed. Indeed in some cases they may be lifesaving.
The Next Level of Holistic Living.......2007-03-01
This book is a welcome addition to my holistic health library. It points up the fact that even when we eat right, exercise, and do other things to optimize our health internally, our living conditions (which she calls the external diet) are often ignored as a possible source of ill-health. The author's book takes you to the next level of holistic living. I also appreciate her apporach, to inform without frightening the reader, with excellent suggestions drawn from her many personal experiences throughout the book. It's encouraging to know that so many of the possible helath hazards are easily remedied, often at little or no cost. I think it would make a great housewarming gift, and it's a valuable selection for anyone interested in making their home a true safe haven.
