A Miracle Of Information and Resources!!! 
I was diagnosed two years ago with CFS/FM and have spent that time reading everything I could get my hands on to learn more about it. I guarantee you I now know more than most doctors who have not stayed up with the current research and information on this complicated and life-changing disorder. My first doctor just recommended anti-depressants. I finally found a very knowledgeable Naturopathic Doctor who helped greatly with the right lab work, diet changes and supplements. BUT Dr. Teitelbaum's book put all the information in one place, explained it in understandable language, designed it for both the patient AND the practitioner, AND gave me access to the supplements on-line, at a tremendous savings from what I had been spending previously.
To the bigoted id**t who wrote the religion slamming review stating that you could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Dr. T's supplements, it is so obvious you didn't read the book! You don't take all the supplement on his web-site. The supplements are carefully customized to the individual patient depending on symptoms. Dr. T also does NOT take a profit on supplements. He contributes profits to charities. Dr. T is a fibromyalgia patient and his interest is in helping others. The book is designed to help the reader craft their own treatment plan. I now save HUNDREDS of dollars a month using his system and supplements.
From Fatigued to Fantastic 
Excellent book. Very detailed and contains alot of information.
Haven't read it all yet. Some things you've heard before but it is good because
the doctor explains the hows and the whys. Recommended for anyone suffering from
fatigue and would like to get better.
Excellent Reference to Healing
Having CFS, at first I considered this book a joke. As sick as I was, how could Dr. T's SHINE protocol help me? But as I took a closer look, I realized that he was on to something...with his serious look at hidden viruses, and the recent attention called to the XMRV virus it was evident that a clearing out of viral infections is key to getting well. And sleep -- I had become so accustomed to not sleeping well that I hadn't realized it's vital importance to being healthy. There is much more to this book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with CFS or Fibro.
The only thing missing from Dr. T's protocol is why the body holds on to these viruses, as called attention to by my OD. Cranial Sacral work is essential to letting go of viruses and balancing the mind and body to a point where it can heal itself. Combined with the regime recommended in this book, and Jade Edward's Sok Ko 'Inner-Qi' Energy Healing sessions, I am on my way to being healthier than I've ever been!

changed my life!
I am so happy I finally read this book! It explained all the weird syptoms and why they were happening to me like nothing ever has. I have had fibromyalgia for 6 years at least have been diagnosed for that long but have had syptoms for alot longer. After having my baby I got so much worse and was in so much pain it was hard to get out of bed in the morning. Doctors just wanted to keep throwing more antidepressants at me and make me feel like more of a zombie. After reading this book I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I have started working out and after cutting sugar out of my diet I wonder why I didn't do it a long time ago. I feel like I am able to be the mother I want to be and be energetic and happy. It is not an easy road when you are not just depending on one pill to make you better but it is so worth it when you have this difficult illness. Anyone who has this illness needs to read this book and find a doctor that will help them follow the protocol!
Changed My Daughter's Life
I got this book from the library after searching for something to help my beautiful 16-year-old daughter who has JIA (formerly known as JRA, juvenile rhematoid arthritis), hypothyroidism, and likely fibromyalgia. She has been spending much of the past 5 years on the couch, homeschooling, and forcing herself to function and hold down a small job.
She had a lot of ambition but no energy. She was reluctant to try yet another "help" I found for her problems.
But, I prayed and she allowed me to put her on D-Ribose 3x/day, along with Glucosamine, Omega 3, a multivitamin, and Co Q10.
On the fourth morning she woke up at 8:30, with ENERGY!! {This never happens.} The energy has continued and she says it is life changing. We attribute it to the D-Ribose. Yay, God!!!!!
Now we are going to try the End Pain Formula and try to get her off Naproxen.
