Customer Reviews

CFIDS is a Serious Matter
As a sufferer of CFIDS, I expected this to be an uplifting and encouraging look at this terrible affliction. Instead I found 208 pages of nothing but long drawn out stories and constant excuses for her erratic behavior. We with CFIDS must stand tall and not look for excuses if we are truly to overcome it in all its forms. I would not reccommend this book if you are looking for a real glimpse of what CFIDS is all about.

Less than I had hoped for...
Throughout my years in the social services I have worked with (and hopefully helped) several victims of CFIDS. It is a genuine issue that has, unfortunately, been largely ignored by the mass media.

Sadly, I was disappointed to find that Ms. Schlosser's book seems little more than a discussion of issues which seem irrelevent to the true matters behind CFIDS, and at certain points I wondered whether the author does indeed suffer from the affliction.

Readers and the general public should know that CFIDS is a very relevant issue. Schlosser's book does little to aid in this cause.

Absolutely Fantastic, a book truly written from the heart
Whether you are eager to learn about the best path to recovery from Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction or just looking to improve your overall well-being, Thea Schlosser's book will gently guide you toward the healthier, fuller life you deserve.
This is a fantastic, resourceful, and inspirational book - don't miss the chance of reading it. Karol Rezi, Glendale/NY
