In this book, the author addresses the subject of food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders, mood disorders and mental illness, oncological diseases, primary immunodeficiency disorders, chronic disorders, bacterial infections, adverse drug reactions, environmental diseases, organ transplant and transplant living, and unknown, mystery diagnosis.What I love most about this book is that the author, even though she is a health professional, describes the experiences of the people interviewed in her book - something that’s so much easier to relate to, as a person and as a patient. Most of the doctors I’ve met were referring to clinical terms and were so rigid, I always left their office baffled and more confused than when I went in! I am amazed at the author’s ability to empathize with her patients and now, her readers!This author has created an wonderful book on empowering us, as human beings, as patients, to our own knowledge about what might be going on regarding our health. While we still have to speak to doctors, as patients, it’s so much easier and less scary after reading this book!She addresses current potential issues and symptoms we may be experiencing and offers solutions we can implement right away! I am so happy to have purchased this book! I highly recommend it to everyone! Be an empowered, educated patient! Taking care of our health starts with us!
Anyone struggling with an “incurable” illness will find hope in The Power of the Educated Patient. Twenty-one stories explain how, when conventional medicine didn’t work, very sick but determined patients researched their disease, zeroed in on treating root causes - instead of suppressing symptoms with drugs - and healed serious, often chronic, conditions. Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Chrohn’s disease; mood disorders including bipolar, depression, and anxiety; as well as advanced stages of Hodgkin’s, Non-Hodgkin’s, and metastatic cancers are covered. Stories of reversing immune deficiency, environmental diseases, chronic infections, even a “mystery” disease of 30 years that defeated a team of 50 NIH doctors, are informative and insightful. These savvy patients cleared toxins from their bodies and embraced fresh, nutrient-dense foods, lifestyle modifications, and holistic methods to recover and enjoy life again. I highly recommend this beautifully written, inspiring book.Gracelyn Guyol, Author
The Power of the Educated Patient is a book of hope for all those lost in the labyrinth of medical procedures and red tape. Like it says on the title, take back the power of your own health through education, and I suggest making a start with the advice given here.This book is also a warning to those on quick fix drugs. As the author so eloquently puts it, a lot of prescription drugs are no longer making you feel better, they are only making the Pharma companies feel better.Ms Drabkin, makes it clear in this book that the health system we deserve is a system focused on the root cause of disease rather than symptoms that need relief. And one of the ways we can do this is by empowering ourselves through good nutrition and lifestyle (also covered in this book).This book will help lead you away from a drug (pharma) dependency, it's a tool in your hands for taking back your future health. As a supporter of an holistic approach to health, I cannot praise this book enough. Fascinating reading.
In The Educated Patient Irene Drabkin begins by drawing on personal experience and that of others to introduce us to common issues and health symptoms that affected her family and others. Finding the root cause and taking action improved the quality of life of not only her daughter, but extended family and friends.Moving on in the book the writer draws on experience of people and the struggles they have faced to find the causes of issues, and means to bring about change. In a number of these cases simple lifestyle changes have brought about extremely impressive results in non-invasive methods with little or no side effects.A number of complaints which are a growing concern not just in America but here in the UK are covered in this gem of a book. I am so glad to have this simple tool as my first reference when myself or my family are facing common but potentially traumatic health issues affecting the quality of life.I highly recommend this book to anyone as we are all prone to differing aspects of health concerns discussed here. A must for any family library.
This book addresses a critical void in the world of health and wellness. Conventional medicine is effective for most people. However, for others conventional medicine cannot seem to help, leaving these people with few answers. The author advocates that people should become more proactive regarding their own health and the health of their family. Starting with becoming better educated in both alternative and conventional treatments.The book is organized around different types of medical conditions. For each condition there is a real-life case study that includes the treatments followed. Also included are health information and resources related to that condition.This book can provide hope and alternatives to those who suffer and feel they have tried everything to no avail.
