Lupus
Autor Sharon Mooreen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 1996
- The only book to focus on alternative therapies for lupus.
- Includes therapeutic approaches drawn from the fields of naturopathic medicine, nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nontoxic dentistry, energy medicine, and psychological healing.
- Lupus affects more than four million Americans and does not respond well to conventional treatments.
More than four million Americans (90 percent of them women) have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic, debilitating disease of the autoimmune system that manifests itself with extreme fatigue, arthritic pain, rashes, and a host of other symptoms. Add to that the fact that lupus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and the number of potential sufferers grows. Sharon Moore lived with lupus for several years before doctors finally put a name to it. The only therapies offered to her were pharmaceuticals--toxic drugs that could control or suppress some of her symptoms but couldn't cure her disease. Dissatisfied with this approach, she set about researching alternative treatments for her condition. Nine years later her health is greatly improved, and she has written this book to share the most effective natural healing techniques with other lupus sufferers.
Chock full of specific, scientific, well-documented evidence on effective alternative treatments, this book is a godsend for anyone suffering from lupus. Moore provides a comprehensive diagnostic checklist and helps readers identify the possible causes of their illness, from environmental toxins and dental amalgam fillings to compromised liver function and poor nutrition. She offers ways to nurture the mind and spirit when living with chronic disease and shows readers how they can rebuild their lives. Equally important, she writes with the understanding of someone who's been there.

HEALTH "This book should be read by both those who are ill and the practitioners they choose to work with. . . . The information and explanations presented are the pearls from thousands of dollars worth of consultations with many different types of practitioners." --John Ruhland, N.D., Bastyr University "Lupus is a book I most strongly recommend not only to those with lupus, but to anyone with a disease that is difficult to categorize or treat." --Eric Steese, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist "Particularly helpful is a twelve-month plan for incorporating . . . varied therapies into a lifestyle that optimally supports recovery and personal growth. --Pamela Houghton, N.D., L.Ac. More than four million Americans--90 percent of them women--have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic, debilitating disease of the autoimmune system that manifests as extreme fatigue, arthritic pain, rashes, and a host of other symptoms. Add to this the fact that lupus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, with symptoms that can mimic those of many other illnesses, and the number of potential sufferers grows. Sharon Moore lived with lupus for five years before doctors finally diagnosed her illness. The only therapies offered to her were pharmaceuticals--toxic drugs that could control or suppress some of her symptoms, but couldn't cure her disease. Dissatisfied with this approach, she set about researching alternative treatments for her condition. Nine years later, after using many of the therapies she discovered, she is ninety percent free of the lupus that plagued her for so long. In Lupus: Alternative Therapies That Work, she shares these effective natural healing techniques with other lupus sufferers. Chock full of specific and well-documented scientific evidence on effective alternative treatments, this book is a godsend for anyone suffering from this disease. Moore provides a comprehensive diagnostic checklist and helps readers identify the possible causes of their illness, from environmental toxins and dental amalgam fillings to compromised liver function and poor nutrition. She offers ways to nurture the mind and spirit when living with chronic disease and provides readers with a plan for how to begin to rebuild their lives. Most important, she writes with the understanding of someone who has been there and the assurance of someone who has come through to a better, healthier life. SHARON MOORE has been a Peace Corps volunteer, an English teacher, and a health writer. She lives near Olympia, Washington.
