After reading ‘The Immunity Fix’, (previously reviewed on the Forum), and digesting the contents, a rereading of both ‘Adrenal Fatigue the 21st Century Stress Syndrome’, by James M Wilson, (Smart Publications, Petaluma, CA, 2001) – mentioned in several threads on the Forum - and ‘Living Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia’, by Mary J Shomon, (HarperCollins, NY, 2004) was made in order to revisit possible sources of, to put thoughts together particularly with reference to, fatigue, inflammation and infection, and their influence on the immune system. It was in the latter book that frequent mentions were made about Dr Teitelbaum and his books, and in particular about this book reviewed here. Mary Shomon, in her book, even admitted that if she had made use of Dr Teitelbaum’s diagnostic tool earlier she would have recovered faster than she actually did.
The full title of the book is: ‘From Fatigue to Fantastic! The comprehensive guide to Optimizing Energy and Recovery from: Pain, Insomnia, Brain Fog, Infections, and much more’, written by Jacob Teitelbaum M.D. (Avery, NY, 2020, 4th Ed).
Interestingly, all three authors suffered and recovered from what they wrote about. First, a little history about Dr Teitelbaum. Whilst at medical school, and performing well, he was struck down with a viral illness leading to a total lack of energy, an energy crisis, which necessitated dropping out of medical school, as he was too ill to continue attending. He was too ill to get any other work too, and became homeless and slept rough. However, he was able to meet many teachers and to get to know himself. What he learned from these teachers, and himself, enabled him to recover and to go on to finish medical school and gain his MD. From this experience he was able to learn how to help others to recover too. He undertook thousands of literature searches to understand the human energy crisis, and this is distilled in this book as an integrated approach, one which he applies in his own practice.
This book is an authentic and comprehensive resource guide, and explores the many factors that may be responsible for these conditions and how to treat them, both from a pharmacological point of view and, through the use of natural supplements. Recommended reading.
A conservative estimate puts 25 million of Americans as suffering needlessly from fatigue, pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, and, over 65 thousand Americans die needlessly from pharmacological pain medications each year.
The book is organised in five Parts, and what follows gives an overview of those Parts. Each chapter has as an introduction, and usually inside the chapter as well, what the author calls ‘Brain Fog Friendly’; a simple summary of what is contained or suggested.
