5.0 out of 5 stars Should be mandatory reading!, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This masterful book should be mandatory reading for every doctor and patient. The National CFIDS Foundation, Inc. recommends it to this day. It is unequaled for its accuracy and both those in the medical profession as well as patients will have a better understanding of this ill-named disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of this perplexing and important disease, 5 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Hillary Johnson does a masterful job of documenting the illness and its history at a level understandable by the lay public, yet it is detailed enough to satisfy the medical audience. This book is a meticulously researched and exposes some of the worst science has to offer and the best in patients and medical researchers. As an epidemiologist, I knew little about CFIDS before reading this book. After reading it, I am truly amazed (yet again) at how politics can corrupt and intrude into the scientific process. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must read for CFIDS sufferers, friends & family!, 17 Jul 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Osler's Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic (Hardcover)
Don't read anything else until you have read this book. While it was a slow go for someone WITH CFIDS, persistance paid..and it paid big! Anyone who wants to know the inside track on CFIDS or many other diseases, the government's waste and incompetence, the cost of ego over the health of the individual, the dollars of insurers being more important than those who are suffering and the ignorance in both the private and political sectors despite the sheer mountains of evidence of this horrible & disabling disease...well, it's all here! The book accounts the last 10 years of struggle for the diseased and the few doctors who try to get this disease the respect and attention it deserves. The book is frightening in its revisiting of the disbelief of the polio and multiple sclerosis sufferers of the past, who also fought to have their illnesses taken seriously. CFIDS is the new plague and everyone who wants to know where their tax dollars go for any disease should read this book. It is eye opening!! Government, the Medical Profession, Insurance companies and the public go on trial in this book. In spite of the persistence of disbelief, those who say it's "all mental" and "just depression" Ms. Johnson triumphs and shows us that our medical community still have a long way to go. A must read for everyone.
