Then she discusses more than 20 specific autoimmune diseases--such as chronic fatigue syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, thyroid disease, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, fibromyalgia, scleroderma, and multiple sclerosis. For each, she covers symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. <p> Shomon, a patient advocate and Web guide for people with thyroid disease, hears the most success stories from people who combine conventional treatment with complementary therapies, so she gives specific strategies for using herbs, diet, and mind/body therapies. She also includes a 30-page checklist of risk factors and symptoms (helpful when you have no idea what condition you might have), a guide to finding and working with the right practitioner, and an extensive resources section that includes patient support organizations, Web sites, and books. <I>--Joan Price</I> 403407 15 10 2002 Living Well with Autoimmune Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know total:15|5:1|4:6|3:6|2:2|1:0| 15 51 31 2 5 0 false false Sat Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Feb 15 14:54:05 -0800 2009 Wed May 06 08:10:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 20:08:26 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 17:36:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 20 07:52:29 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 15:24:59 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 15:25:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 17:48:51 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 17:48:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 07:56:09 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 07:56:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 07:55:50 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 07:55:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 29 19:53:30 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 19:53:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 18:04:24 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 06:34:13 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 18:04:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 11 04:47:46 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 04:47:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 01 18:18:01 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 18:18:01 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 11:14:26 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 11:15:08 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jan 22 16:46:35 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 16:46:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 22:07:24 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 22:07:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 14 12:37:41 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 12:37:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 18 17:49:06 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 17:49:06 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Dec 18 10:27:17 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 10:27:20 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 15 15:36:59 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 15 15:37:01 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 06 18:53:02 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 06 18:53:02 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 28 15:44:49 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 15:44:49 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Sep 27 18:23:27 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 18:23:39 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=414185
