A must read for RA or Sclerderma Patients

I have a patient with Sclerderma on this therapy and the condition is reversing! Not bad for an incurable disease. This is a book written for patients and non-medical personnel, but is extremely helpful for both.

I highly recommend the book and therapy.

Treatment worth a try!

My wife has Scleroderma, and prior to starting this treatment could barely get out of the bed. After close to a year on the antibiotic treatment, she is doing much better. Some of the stories in the book can be a bit scary for someone recently diagnosed with Scleroderma, but the book is definitely worth the money and could change your life. Also, look at www.arthritistrust.org and roadback.org.

Results are reality - take the Road Back to your health

My 25 year old son was diagnosed with diffuse systemic scleroderma. I turned to Amazon to find something to read about the disease, to educate me about what he would face given this diagnosis. I read a book written by a scleroderma patient who was severely ill with the disease and receiving the "conventional" treatments recommended by rheumatologists and promoted by the pharmaceutical industry. It was quite depressing to say the least. My son, being a knowledgeable biologist, refused such treatments. Thanks to Amazon, 6 weeks later, I received an e-mail suggesting that I may be interested in reading Scleroderma: The Proven Therapy that Can Save Your Life by Henry Scammell. Within days, I contacted representatives from the Roadback Foundation mentioned in the book, was given a physician's name to contact and my son began treatment with the antibiotic protocol. This is not a treatment you will see advertised in every magazine. It's been around and available for use for many years, it's safe, effective, inexpensive and it works for the vast majority of patients suffering and being needlessly debilitated from the diseases of not only Scleroderma, but Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown successfully treated thousands of patients and attempted to get the word out about this effective treatment for over 50 years, but as his patients' recovery was "anecdotal" and not scientifically proven, it was not accepted by the scientific community. Why would you not try a treatment that bears little risk and works? To every parent and patient who has had one of these diagnoses handed to them, read this book, turn to people who can help and get your life back. As a nurse of 30 years who has administered disease modifying drugs to many patients, I am very grateful to Amazon, Henry Scammell and the Road Back Foundation for letting me know of safer, more effective options. To the reviewers who fault this book as promoting a foundation, may you or a loved one never be personally affected by one of these diseases. The information that this book and the foundation provides might save your life!

This book is a life-saver!

I admit I was skeptical at first, but after reading the book, reading the testimonials on the Road Back Foundation's website (www.roadback.org) and looking in PubMed for research that supports Dr. Brown's theory and antibiotic therapy approach, I decided to give it a trial period of 11 months. It's now been 13 months and I am better. This holiday I'm thankful to Henry Scammell for writing this book and the Road Back for educating us through the website; I figured that nobody could make up ALL those testimonials. Soon, I hope to post my own story.

Stories of success and hope from people with no hidden agenda

This book is a testament to those who have chosen a different path to treating this terrible disease, a testament to those who do not blindly accept the advice of rheumatologists trained to prescribe toxic drugs that don't cure the disease but do guarantee return visits and a lifetime of costly lab work.

Thomas Brown had the intellect to discover the truth about rheumatic diseases and the moral courage to live his beliefs. Ask your rheumatologist how many of his/her patients have created a charitable organization in honor of one of his/her treatments.

This book has the answer to this disease. It has saved my life, my immune system, and my sanity.
