Wellness piece by piece a godsend

I have been on a journey to uncover the secrets behind my chronic illness for many years and it wasn't until I discovered Pat Sullivan's book "Wellness Piece by Piece" that things started to make sense for me. I have read just about everything there is out there regarding fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic illness, but I never felt like is was hitting the nail on the head with regard to getting better. I never felt like someone understood the big picture until Pat shared his story. What a gift to hear from someone who has been there and walked out on the other side. Pat's book is like finding the key that unlocks all the secrets to getting better. Each chapter reveals his experience regarding a piece of the puzzle toward feeling better and I have to say that everything he has said, and that I have tried, has been right on. Please, if you are suffering from chronic illness, give yourself a gift, read this book. You won't be sorry.

Illness: One cause, one Solution - Exposing the Truth

As a fellow chronic sufferer, with much the same story of undiagnoses by the medical establishment and ineffective treatments or incomplete results by the alternative field, this book reveals the Truth that heavy metals and/or negative organisms are behind every chronic disease and what SEEMS a temporary ache and pain that builds momentum into the pits of hell. Pat outlines the details of his tedious labors, uncovering why he continued to stay sick. Take special note of his message: until you erradicate the offending agent, supplements will have limited results, if any, as in my case and many others, and the liver doesn't know the difference between Prozac and Heroin. All metals are poison. Heart attack? Diabetes? Parkinsons? AIDS? All symptoms. Pat gives much insight into what HAS helped him mitigate against the toxic load on the body while he was searching for the answer, and breaks down the list of myths that will be encountered in the healing fields, when enough time is spent hunting down the tiger. He also outlines what hasn't been effective to which I also concur in my own experience. Wellness Piece by Piece is easy to read, hard to put down, and helps to reinforce you can get well when all seems hopeless. Knowing metals may not even show up on a challenge test until you are chelating for a few months, the word out there by other chronic sufferers, is chelate anyway. The results [or lack thereof] will be revealed soon enough. Pat's book reveals what chelating agents are NOT effective, and with DMSA now available without prescription, anyone can start accomplishing results. Disease doesn't appear overnight. This book is a must read for chronic sufferers and those who never want to get sick and who have probably already started the disease process and don't even know it! You can also find this book on Pat's Jigsaw Health website. Thanks, Pat, for getting the word out. With enough available knowledge, people can stop the abuse of medical and health "care" and discover the answer lies in those who have come before them.

Timely, informative, easy to read. Highly recommended!

The issue of mercury toxicity and chronic health problems have been around for decades but is little known. Mr Sullivan's book exposes this issue. Pat's book is packed with useful information about mercury and chronic health problems. Having suffered mercury toxicity from my dental amalgams I've done a lot of research on the subject. Pat's book pulls all the latest thought and research together in an easy to understand and hard to put down style. Pat also includes an historical perspective that shows why mercury is still in use today. Whether you are suffering chronic illnesses, know someone who is or are interested in this topic Pat's book is not to be missed as it will become a classic resource and reference. Pat's unique style and perspective is thought provoking and eye-opening. For example, Pat points out that the medical and dental communities speak of people with "allergic reactions" to mercury. Pat points out how silly this is! Allergic to a powerful neuro toxin? My comment: Pat's right, it's like saying people have an allergic reaction to battery acid! I believe the issue of mercury toxicity and chronic illness will get much attention in the future as it impacts every family in the nation. Pat's book provides an excellent background and understanding of the situation as it stands today. Don't miss this book!! It's new in 2005 and I'm sure you'll be hearing more about the issue of mercury, chronic health condition and Pat's book. (...)

Thought Provoking Look into Medicine

This is an interesting, thought provoking look into one person's struggle to find answers to nagging and common chronic health problems. It is very easy reading and reveals the author's thorough research of various health treaments, traditional and non-traditional. The author reveals a compasion and sensitivity towards the subject that lets the reader identify with him. He clearly discloses numerous times that he is not a medical professional, but rather a lay person with lots of experience. His "been there done that" approach without formal training provides the confidence many need to ask questions of their physicians. It certainly prompted me to question my physician about various treatments.

Doctors Take Note

I struggled for more than ten years with fatigue and an unexplained blood loss. I explored every option I could find. The process was frustrating, baffling and at times despairing. The good news is that one of the "experiments" I tried worked. My symptoms disappeared three days before I was scheduled for radical stomach surgery. "Wellness Piece by Piece" answered many the unexplained questions I was left with. The doctors I went to followed a checklist process. I wish they had understood the jigsaw journey that Pat talks about. I'm excited now because I can change that with Pat's book and I'm giving copies to my current doctors and urging they read it.
