Product Description

One & the Same; Connecting Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Candidiasis & Immune System Dysfunction is a personal account of a 12-year "Fibromyalgia" sufferer. Something amazing happened to Teresa Eakman in the depths of her illness. After years of excruciating pain, unending fatigue and depression, a pregnancy beginning with twelve weeks of severe dehydration stagnated all symptoms.

Nearly a year later, just as symptioms slowly began to reappear, Teresa was given another clue into the potential cause and cure of "Fibromyalgia" as she began taking a supplement for Candida overgrowth, due to the countless yeast infection she'd incurred. Because the supplement seemed to help, she began to read more about the condition of Candidiasis.

Noticing the extensive overlap of syptoms and pre-existing conditions, she began researching modes of treatment for Candidiasis rather than traditional medicine's way of treating Fibromyalgia, which provided virtually no relief. Not surprisingly, treating the Candidiasis drastically improved the Fibromyalgia symptoms. Teresa managed to maintain a healthy level of existance from that point on, trying numerous methods of therapy, both traditional and non-traditional.

As a graduate student, Teresa was involved in a research project in which she prepared a presentation of empirical evidence concluding that Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Candidiasis and Immune dysfunction are indeed One & the Same.

This book tells Teresa's story, as well as others' personal journeys with affliction. It includes Teresa's research thesis in its entirety, and current modes of treatment, both traditional and non-traditional, stressing througth experience, which methods have worked best for her.

Customer Reviews

Don't bother...
This loose collection of information gleaned from others reads like a college theme paper. Rambling, repetitive, and not a whole lot of substance. Look elsewhere for useful info...

Ok for those interested
Can't say much but it was ok for those who look for the info inside the book. I wouldn't buy it if I had seen it in a book store and reviewed it first.
