Product Description

Review

Dr Wallace believes that this book is aimed at patients and their carers, as well as a very long list of allied health professionals...The book's popularity suggests that its aims have been met...The book is divided into five parts: Introductions and Definitions, Inflammation and Immunity, What causes Lupus?, Where and how can the body be affected by Lupus?, and The management of Lupus. I would recommend it to members of the allied health professions who are involved with Lupus patients. (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol 88B, No 9 )


Product Description

Lupus, a disease of the immune system, can be quite deadly, claiming the lives of thousands of patients annually. Dr. Daniel J. Wallace is one of the world's leading authorities on this disorder, an eminent clinician who has treated over 2000 lupus patients, the largest such practice in America. His The Lupus Book, originally published in 1995, immediately established itself as the most readable and helpful book on the disease. Now Dr. Wallace has once again completely revised The Lupus Book, incorporating a wealth of new information. This Third Edition discusses the newest breakthroughs in drug treatments and alternative therapies as well as updated information on the immune system--all laid out in user-friendly language that any patient could understand. Readers will discover new blood tests and new drugs introduced since the last edition, an extensive table of herbs that can be used for the disorder, and a large section on cognitive therapy and biofeedback. And as in past editions, the book provides absolutely lucid answers to such questions as: What causes lupus? How and where is the body affected? Can a woman with lupus have a baby? And how can one manage this disease? There is also a glossary of terms and an appendix of lupus resource materials compiled by the Lupus Foundation of America. 50,000 Britons and over 1 million Americans have lupus and thousands of patients die every year from the disease. The Third Edition of The Lupus Book offers these patients and their families a wealth of reliable, up-to-date information that will help them manage the disease and live a happier life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Best Book on Lupus on the Market Today!, 13 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lupus Book (Hardcover)
I've got lupus. I buy every book and phamplet I can find. I never ever found anything so comprehensive as this book. Whether you're an expert or a novice, this book is for you - anyone can understand it. Finally something is on the market that digs deeper than generalities and provides the details you need to manage your illness, help identify your symptoms, and reassure you in ways few Doctors can. Its a SUPER BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive book about lupus available., 1 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lupus Book (Hardcover)
I have recommended this book to numerous people to help them understand their illness better. Dr. Wallace has written this book in terms that a lay person can understand, but never 'talks down' to the reader. This book is an excellent tool for arming oneself in being their own patient advocate. The information can allow you to converse with your heath care provider, working with them to achieve the best care for you. Having read many books about this disease which I have had for the last 10 years, I am pleased with the extensive coverage of the many symptoms and ways that lupus can manifest itself. A very helpful and useful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written in clear easy to understand language. Informative., 16 Dec 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lupus Book (Hardcover)
If you or someone close to you has been just diagnosed with Lupus and you feel confused, this book will do much to clear up your confusion, and answer all those questions that are lingering in the back of your mind. "The Lupus Book" is written in clear and easy to understand language and covers almost all areas related to Lupus including illness that Lupoids tend to have. The categories are seperate and distinct, thus eliminating the confusion that sometimes prevails when reading a medical text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but condescending on some key points.
This book gives detailed but easily understood information on all aspects of Lupus. The only negatives I found were that the book is very much aimed at the American Lupus patient,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars good 1st book to read
after reading Wallace, you need to read DeBartolo's "Lupus Underground." Wallace only covers the toxic drugs used today, DeBartolo keys in on a new drug-less cutting edge therapy.
