Product Description

Now You Can Win Your Battle with Chronic Fatigue Possibly the most undertreated and misunderstood illness in America, the growing epidemic of chronic fatigue has more than 40 million sufferers. Written by a Christian medical doctor, Conguering Chronic Fatigue is a medical handbook that spells out the condition, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of the four most common fatigue illnesses: chronic fatigue, hidden hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia and yeast overgrowth. Dr. Forester is quick to acknowledge that much remains to be done to conquer fatigue. However, it is equally true-and even more exciting-to realize that 80 to 90 percent of fatigue patients under Dr. Forester's care either improved or were put in remission of their fatigue! Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? This book will help to get you back on the road to health and vitality!

Customer Reviews

Be careful -- this is not a cure-all, or even a cure many
First, let me say I have nothing personal against the author. He really believes what he says. He is a spiritual Christian man and just wants to help those who suffer.

I'm afraid that many who he thinks he has cured have simply moved on to other doctors. I also think that several of the "causes" of CFIDS in this book are instead diseases of their own, and absolutely not CFIDS. I was a patient of this doctor for many years, and of the many therapies we tried, nothing worked. Of the people I know with CFIDS who are or were patients of the author, they all say the same thing. Those who are "cured" certainly never had the disease I have.

In 17 years, I have progressed to being totally bedridden. If I manage to get out of bed one day a month, I'm lucky. I have tried all of the therapies in this book, to no avail. This book may help you. You may suffer from one of the diseases in this book. In that case, I hope it is the help YOU need. Those of us with CFIDS must keep looking...

A Reader & Patient of Dr. Foresters from Pineville, L A
Dr. Forester truly cares for his patients, both physically and spiritually. He has been my primary care physician through kidney cancer, Legionaires, allergies, fibromyalgia, and CFIDS. If you have CFIDS, please do not give up!!!

In the past 7 years, I have experienced all the ups and downs of CFIDS and fibromyalgia. This book and the prayerful, caring treatments recommended by Dr. Forester, have saved my life and helped me to live a full and joyful life again. I am now able to teach school, ride horses, give riding lessons, clean stalls, and pick up hay. However, when it comes to housework I feel the CFIDS coming back (HA!)

Misleading Info PS. RE:- hill6911AW
Dr. Forrester mixes freely the tow terms CFS (which is very specific) and chronic fatigue, which as another reviwer has so eloquently pointed out is only a SYMPTOM and NOT the same as the very specific syndrome of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (often also referred to as CFIDS)!
As far as the reviwer hill6911AW who says that they are a patient of doctor Forester while I'm glad that they are feeling better they say that they have been found to have Lyme disease ( A: not hrd at all to diagnose - it's a very standard test when someone complains of fatigue and not hard to diagnose) but it also has nothing to to with CFS! It IS a condition that can cuase someone to have fatigue on a chronic basis- but it isn't Chronic fatigue Syndrome! In fact it's one of the things that you rule out before diagnosing CFS. This book overall has confusing and muddled info. It would be best to pick almost ANY of the other books on CFS / CFIS or FIbro from Amazon rather than buting this. I would highly reccomend Jacon Teilbaulm's Book as a start.
