Product Description
A comprehensive guide to noninvasive, nontoxic therapies for lupus--written by a lupus survivor. * The only book to focus on alternative therapies for lupus. * Includes therapeutic approaches drawn from the fields of naturopathic medicine, nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nontoxic dentistry, energy medicine, and psychological healing. * Lupus affects more than four million Americans and does not respond well to conventional treatments. More than four million Americans (90 percent of them women) have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic, debilitating disease of the autoimmune system that manifests itself with extreme fatigue, arthritic pain, rashes, and a host of other symptoms. Add to that the fact that lupus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and the number of potential sufferers grows. Sharon Moore lived with lupus for several years before doctors finally put a name to it. The only therapies offered to her were pharmaceuticals--toxic drugs that could control or suppress some of her symptoms but couldn't cure her disease. Dissatisfied with this approach, she set about researching alternative treatments for her condition. Nine years later her health is greatly improved, and she has written this book to share the most effective natural healing techniques with other lupus sufferers. Chock full of specific, scientific, well-documented evidence on effective alternative treatments, this book is a godsend for anyone suffering from lupus. Moore provides a comprehensive diagnostic checklist and helps readers identify the possible causes of their illness, from environmental toxins and dental amalgam fillings to compromised liver function and poor nutrition. She offers ways to nurture the mind and spirit when living with chronic disease and shows readers how they can rebuild their lives. Equally important, she writes with the understanding of someone who's been there. |

informative but a bit too much information by P. Aguilar (New York)  3 Stars
August 21, 2009
I thought this book was good and I am happy the author is better (and hopefully continually getting better). I do think there are way too many ways she used to get better that sick people would find too overwhelming. The author also had the luxury of being a traveler-- many sick people couldn't live her life!

good 3rd or 4th book by Carla Ulbrich (Sunrise, FL)  4 Stars
July 25, 2009
i found this book very helpful in offering some specific ideas on how to detox the body. That kind of info is completely absent from your typical 1st book on autoimmune disease, and most MDs have little to offer in that area as well- just drugs and more drugs to counteract the side effects of the initial drugs. This book gives some specific ideas on things to try, and how to go about implementing those ideas. I found it refreshing not to hear yet another voice tell me to expect to just be on and off prednisone until i eventually need a new set of kidneys, and that there was nothing I could do about it.
If you've just developed an autoimmune disease, then this is not the first book you want. there are lots of good first books with solid info in them.
I'm not connected to the author in any way. Just a reader.

alternative therapies by T. Balczo (Northwest Indiana)  1 Stars
September 15, 2008
This book was not helpful at all. It stated many controversial treaments and one major misconception about lupus. Lupus can not be cured- it goes in remission until next flare up. I would not recommend this book for anyone unless you prefer "half baked ideas" that do not work. Some of these can be dangerous and/or create more pain and suffereing for lupus patients.
I feel my money was wasted on this book.

A good book from a sufferer by S V SWAMY (Hyderabad, India) 4 Stars
November 13, 2005
This book is written by Sharon Moore, who suffered from SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythomatus or simply called Lupus) and who was told that it is an autoimmune disorder and she may not recover from it. She did recover from it by studying alternative approaches to health, which she describes well in this book. Her story is spread over 13 chapters and an epilogue. She talks of the effect of liver on health, diet and health, nutritional supplements, herbs, beneficial fats and oils, toxins in food, problems from toxins in dental work, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mind-Body Therapies, Caring for Your Spirit and interestingly the last chapter, "How to Begin" a good road map. The epilogue is a good graphic portrayal of her recovery from a debilitating illness.
I found the book readable in general but some sections are a little more technical, which may need additional reading. Fortunately, the author supplements her book with Suggested Reading and Resources. An index is also added to enable you to return to a specific topic easily.
I would suggest that you should read the Introduction, My Story, What is Lupus and Your Liver, followed by a quick read of the rest of the book. When you reach the chapter How to Begin, you would know whether these approaches are for you. If you are convinced that Sharon's suggestions will work for you, read that chapter carefully and follow the advice given by Sharon. The epilogue should keep giving you courage and perseverance when things look a little bleak.
I found her suggestions on the treatment of depression (which is a natural complication of any chronic health problem) with Multivitamin supplements, B Complex, DLPA and tyrosine (detailed on pages 75-76) very interesting and very useful. I am painfully aware of the problems of B 12 deficiency and associated problems.
I have no hesitation in recommending it to you if you or your people need a good resource book on the alternative approaches to the management of Lupus or other autoimmune disorders. However, each person has to find his/her own path to recovery. The problem is not just in the body, but in mind and in spirit.

About the reviewer: I am a physicist and a metallurgist, not a medical man. Thus I am a lay reader as far as health books are concerned. However, I have been deeply interested in health (partly because of my own health challenges) for long. I have studied Homeopathy, Biochemic (Schussler's) Tissue Remedies, Bach Flower Remedies, Reiki (I am a certified Usui Reiki Master Healer), Crystal Healing etc. I would strongly advise you to seek the advice of a health professional when trying to add any alternative health system to your treatment protocol.
