Dr. Michael L. Johnson

If you suffer from FMS, you NEED this book in your personal library. In the past 21 years, I've successfully treated thousands of patients who have suffered from this debilitating condition. If you truly want to get well (and what FMS patient doesn't), nutrition must be at the fore-front of your healing arsenal. This book is one of the best that I have read in regards to FMS and nutrition. Buy it so that you can refer back to it time and again.Dr. Michael L.

An exciting revelation for fibromyalgia sufferers

As a fellow sufferer of Fibromyalgia Syndrome, I read ChristineCraggs-Hinton's first and xcellent book 'Living with Fibromyalgia' with great admiration, and eagerly awaited the arrival of its sequal / her second book 'The Fibromyalgia Healing Diet'. I was not disappointed. Christine takes the reader simply and fluently through the reasons for good nutrition (especially in terms of Fibromyalgia), and how to go about it, including giving details of a varied - and enjoyable - wholefood diet. She also includes details of an initial detoxification programme, plus hints about a number of nutritional supplements most likely to be eneficial to sufferers of FMS. There is an informative chapter regarding substances to avoid. The second half of the book is devoted to healthy and useful recipes, which can only tempt the reader to 'have a go'! I felt the book had a positive tone throughout. As a 'holistic health adviser ' and a wholefooder of over 20 years standing, I read this book in a somewhat hypercritical way; as such I spotted a couple of things with which I was not entirely happy - eg I could not condone the use of golden syrup in one of the recipes, or the use of of microwave ovens (convenient though these may be). However, these were very minor disagreements only, and when taken as a whole, I believe this book to be an excellent complement to Christine's first book. Believing as I do, that eating the best possible diet is of paramount importance - indeed, the foundation on which to build - for any sufferer of FMS (in fact, any sufferer of anything), I fully recommend this book to anyone who wishes to take the first steps towards rebuilding their health. It will be an exciting revelation to anyone who normally eats the average 'western diet', and who wishes to help themselves. I recently gave a 'Health and Wholefoods' talk to my local FMS group - there is now a super book to back this up. I congratulate and thank Christine!
