Understanding CFS & seeing a light at the end of the tunnel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic (Paperback)
This book is highly informative, not only about the symptoms, obvious and subtle, that can present themselves but also about things that you can do to help ease the symptoms/improve the conditions. It provides a valuable insight into all aspects of the condition by providing a considerable amount of detail. I found it an invaluable tool to understand the condition and as a reference book.

A clear and sane discussion of CFIDS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic (Paperback)
Even if I wasn't coping with Chronic Fatigue syndrome myself, I would still have read this--anything by the mega-talented Pellegrino is worth a look. But it's a valuable addition to a field that is still sadly undocumented. Besides the fine "Osler's Web" by Hillary Johnson, this is one of the few books to explain Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome as a biochemical problem that can be addressed and treated. Anyone who has had to cope with this devastating condition knows the dismissive, even contemptuous attitude of much of the medical profession--(it's all psychogenic, so get thee to a psychiatrist!) Pellegrino approaches his own CFIDS the way he does all the other topics he has written about so brilliantly--like a fascinating mystery to be investigated and charted. As a plus, he and Dr. Stoff offer some sane, balanced advice for living with this problem, right down to sensible recipes. If you've ever suspected you might be dealing with CFIDS, pick up this book. If you already know you do, this book is essential reading. Pellegrino has done it again! This book is as valuable as Randy Shilts' "And the Band Played On."

This book was a tremendous help,
By Suzanne Allain - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic (Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr 6 years ago at the age of 22. My doctor told me to go home and get some rest. I had no idea what to do to rebuild my immune system. My future mother-in-law sent me the book, and I immediately began following the suggestions about diet, sleep, etc. I called 1800solstice and ordered the vitamin/herb supplements and homeopathic remedies Dr. Stoff had formulated specifically for CFS patients. Within 3 months I felt better than I had in years. I recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from CFS, fibromyalgia, Candida, or any other immune deficiency disease. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:

A must read for those with questions about Chronic Fatigue.,
By "luckeylitl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic (Paperback)
I have been diagnosed with CFIDS for over ten years and I promise you that no other publication comes close to informing the reader with more accurate and detailed information. I myself was a human "guinea pig" for doctors in my area who just couldn't seem to understand all the changes that my body was undergoing. I truly am pleased that Dr. Stoff can deliver such a straightforward idea of the private suffering and ridicule that those of us who are diagnosed go through, while explaining the unknown changes that take place in our bodies that seem to defy medical explaination by "experts". This is a must read for all those who are newly diagnosed or know someone close to them that is diagnosed.

Endorsed by the Institute of Anti-Aging and Longevity,
By Wesley V. Kikuchi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic (Paperback)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the Hidden Epidemic is an amazing book. Initially, it can be difficult to get through the first two chapters, but a real gem of a book with anyone dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Epstein Barr Virus, Cytomeglovirus, HHV-6, Fibromyalgia and Environmental Toxins. We have been using the advice from Dr. Jesse Stoff for years at the Institute of Anti-Aging and Longevity in Carson City, Nevada because we believe that Dr. Stoff is correct in the belief that the body can heal itself through it's own immune system when dealing with the five issues that weaken the immune system called the P.I.T.T.S. which stands for Poor Nutrition, Infection, Toxins, Trauma and Stress. We have been applying the protocals from Dr. Stoff with excellent results. This book is a godsend from Dr. Stoff. It really goes into detail of the hows and whys of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and how to put it into remission with your own immune system. Dr. Stoff give excellent protocals to help the patient and the book gives 80 per cent of his treatments, but if you combine this book with his lastest one called The Prostate Miracle on cancer you have an excellent outline of what to do to improve you health, your immune system and putting the disease into remission. We have been using his research for years and find that the key to helping the patient the most is dealing with the stress and the new nutrient AiE10 in the Body Wise AG Immune to "trigger" the communication pathways of the immune system; especially as a modulator since so many patients (especially women) are dealing with auto-immune difficulties such as Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Candida, Fibromyalgia and other combinations of viruses and bacteria. If anyone would like receive the advanced protocals of Dr. Jesse Stoff's lastest research in this area we would be more than glad to offer help at 1-800-878-6659 at the Institute of Anti-Aging and Longevity. What has been very helpful from Dr. Stoff is the T and B subset panel of white blood cells that allows the wellness professional to interpret the data on the immune function of the patient which leads to the proper protocals to take on immune reconstitution in dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
