E-Chapters
from Dr. John C. Lowe's
The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia
Table of
Contents of the e-chapters is below on this page.
Dr. Lowe's The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia is an
extraordinary book that has
been widely and exceptionally acclaimed. For example, chemist Dr. Wayne D. Federer wrote:
|
"John Lowe covers his subject with such scientific rigor, breadth, and
cohesiveness as one seldom if
ever finds in medical texts of any type, let alone low-budget 'alternative'
ones. Its excellent readability and accessible organization; its rich mining and
critical analysis of the literature pertaining to all aspects of metabolism,
from earlier generations to present day; and its highly creative and
interdisciplinary presentation of 'the big picture' are all qualities that
assure this book a prominent place on my shelf for a long time. On
thyroidology, I would not hesitate to compare this book to authoritative
multi-author references such as Werner & Ingbar's The Thyroid or The Thyroid and Its
Diseases."
|
Similarly, Dr. Mark Swanson,
naturopathic
physician and
former Associate Editor of the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine,
wrote:
|
"An outstanding contribution that transcends the boundaries of medicine
. . . comprehensive in every detail, remarkable, and brilliantly written. This
is an exhaustive work that provides powerful evidence linking cellular hypometabolism from inadequate thyroid hormone regulation to the cause of
fibromyalgia. I am awestruck at Dr. Lowe's authoritative and in depth
understanding of this subject. For patients who are fortunate enough to be
treated by the protocols outlined in the book, this will come as a very special
gift." |
We'll end the quotes with these two, although we
could publish a moderate-size book filled with the words of praise we have
received from readers of the book.
We will point out, however, that in Dr. Lowe's
large Chapter 1.2 (Fibromyalgia
is Not a "Somatoform Disorder),
he so eloquently and resoundingly debunks the belief that fibromyalgia is a
psychiatric disorder
that
Study Sphere gave
it the Award of Excellence.
So extraordinary
is The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia that the world's largest medical/health publishing corporation,
Elsevier Ltd, has tried numerous times to obtain the rights to publish The
Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia. We are happy to report, however, that Dr. Lowe has declined
Elsevier and continued
our publishing relationship. We are proud to continue making the book available,
and at a far lower price than Elsevier would charge.
E-Chapters. Many people
who purchased the hardback book have asked us to provide a CD or e-chapters of
the book. We finally have done so. Below is a table of contents of the
e-chapters.
Most of the chapters in the book are very large. Below, under
each chapter name, we give the page and word count of the chapter. We did this
to let you know the amount of information contained in the chapter. Other books on
hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia that we have in our shelves average about 50,000 words.
We would like to emphasize that
The Metabolic
Treatment of Fibromyalgia is not only
about fibromyalgia. Dr. Lowe uses fibromyalgia as pattern of symptoms and signs
to illustrate what he terms "inadequate thyroid hormone regulation of cell
function." But in the book, he comprehensively covers practically every aspect
of the basic and clinical sciences of thyroidology. As Dr. Feberer wrote,
he "would not
hesitate to compare this book to authoritative multi-author references such as Werner & Ingbar's The Thyroid or The Thyroid and Its
Diseases." What your have below, then, is a truly exceptional book,
chapter-by-chapter, that covers most of two fields, fibromyalgia and
thyroidology.
The pages in
The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia are
8½ x 11 inches.
