Finally, an answer to my problems!!!

After suffering for many years from acne, dry skin, hair falling out, anxiety disorders, occasional insomnia and hormonal problems like bad pms, I have finally found what the causes of all these problems were; Copper toxicity! After reading Gittleman's book, I had a hair mineral analysis done and my copper levels were 5 times the normal limit! I have been following the advice in this book for 3 months and I feel like a totally new person. A very overlooked problem that could be the cause of many health problems especially for women. Go buy the book!

Combat CFS & Fibromyalgia--Read this book...

To Melissa Diane Smith and Others....This was an exceptional book! What you have written makes so much sense that anyone complaining of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia would be wise to buy this book and read it. I am a certified physician assistant and a candidate for the doctor of naturopathy degree for healthcare professionals and I have referred several people to this book, Syndrome X and Going Against the Grain. I think that all three of these books feed on each other and would be quite helpful to anyone, not only people suffering from chronic diseases. These books give options for self-improvement without the use of multiple medications. The American people of today need to take a closer look at their treatment plans and get back to basics and fundamentals of natural health. The medications and foods we eat are our biggest problems and these three books address those problems and methods of correcting them that are essentially easy, but will take determinated and an adjustment of will power....Thank you to the writers for giving us such eye-opening books in an easy-to-read format.Marge CookPhysician Assistant Certified

Brilliant!

Love her! Copper overload will not be everyone's reason for fatigue, of course, but it's possibly true for many people. She explains why the copper/zinc becomes imbalanced and what to do about it. My hair analysis of 8 years ago showed this syndrome, but no one knew what it meant. In fact, it was not considered "abnormal" nor did it merit any red flag whatsoever. I'm feeling better since implementing Gittleman's advice. Easy to do on your own. Copper can be like a toxic heavy metal for some of us. I'm less anxious, noticeably more relaxed. This was great just in itself, even if the fatigue does not improve (but it has, slightly, too). If you think this could be you--Try it!

Why Am I Always So Tired?

I could not put this book down! It was easy to read and informative. I had an analysis done and sure enough, I have a copper overload. Finally I know why I am tired all the time. This book is a must read! I plan to give a couple of these books as gifts. This seems to be a major problem and people don't even know it. Doctor's should read this book, it may help their patients. Being tired all the time is not all in our heads.....
