What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia: The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse The Disease
By Paul St Amand & Claudia Craig Marek
Fibromyalgia is a painful disorder for which mainstream medicine has no
solution other than heavy, and often ineffective, use of painkillers, along
with lifestyle changes. It affects 20 million Americans, with high rates of
occurrence in women. Related to rheumatoid arthritis, it too is an
autoimmune disorder involving muscular pain, fatigue, insomnia, headaches,
and depression. 'What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia' is
the first book to offer a treatment program combining diet and exercise
recommendations with the use of guaifenesin, a well-known medication
available over the counter.

their health.

The First Year: Fibromyalgia: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)
Fibromyalgia affects between three and six million Americans—80 percent of
whom are women—yet remains one of the most difficult conditions to identify
and diagnose. In the tradition of the other titles in the First Year series,
The First Year—Fibromyalgia uses a unique approach—guiding readers through
their first seven days following diagnosis, then the next three weeks of
their first month, and finally the next eleven months of their first year—to
provide answers and advice that will help everyone newly diagnosed with
fibromyalgia come to terms with their condition and the lifestyle changes
that accompany it. Starting with the day of diagnosis, patient-experts
Florence and Marek provide vital information about the nature of
fibromyalgia, choosing the right doctors, treatment options, psychological
issues, holistic alternatives, self-management strategies, illustrative
charts and tables, and much more. The First Year—Fibromyalgia will be a
supportive and educational resource for everyone who wants to take an active
role in the management of their condition.
Parting the Fog:
The Personal Side of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
By Sue Jones (GG Member)
"Parting the Fog" is a candid, first
person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone suffering
from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the seriousness of
this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing humor and focusing
on hope. It is a combination of prose and inspiring poetry. Each of the 17
short chapter ends with a personal page to enable sufferers to record their
own thoughts and experiences, if they so choose. It also includes: a "Don't
Ask-Do Ask" list for "Normals"; a letter to supportive people; a description
of the treatment plan the author believes holds the best hope of recovery
from symptoms; and chapters on perspective, faith, loss and hope. It is
unique, personal, and will help others understand the struggles those with
FMS/CFS are faced with. It is an important addition to the FMS/CFS
sufferer's library.

A
Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients: Fifth Edition (Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients)
By Ruth Winter
(Extensive listing of cosmetic and topical ingredients and what they are
made from.) A great resource. It doesn't give the sal status of ingredients
but states what an ingredient comes from and that, in turn, helps you know
what's okay and what's not. Highly recommended.
The fifth edition of this classic guide, first published in 1978, continues
the tradition of being the most up-to-date, complete, and trusted reference
for taking the guesswork out of choosing safe and effective cosmetics and
toiletries.
The more than 6,000 entries include 1,400 newly developed chemicals (along
with hundreds more whose names have been changed by the manufacturers since
the last edition of this book was published in 1994). Virtually every
chemical found in toiletries and cosmetics, from body and face creams to
toothpaste, hand lotion, shaving cream, shampoo, soap, perfume, and makeup,
is evaluated, including those ingredients marketed as being all natural, for
children, and for people of color. The book's alphabetical arrangement makes
it easy to look up the ingredients in the products you use.
With more substances than ever in products we use every day--and with the
continuing deregulation of the cosmetics industry--this book is more
indispensable than ever.

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me
Paula Begoun
Women spend an extraordinary amount of money on cosmetics--$45 billion a
year in the U.S. alone. Now in its fourth edition, Don't Go to the Cosmetics
Counter Without Me strikes fear in cosmetics-counter consultants everywhere.
First off, Begoun has deconstructed ingredient lists. Ever wonder what
methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben are doing in your mascara? And
what is diazolidinyl urea? All four are potential irritants, and the latter is a
preservative that can release formaldehyde, a class A carcinogen. Buyer beware.
Begoun also lists which companies are cruelty-free and which continue to
conduct animal testing. The majority of the book--and that's nearly 800
pages--is devoted to reviews of thousands of cosmetics, from cleansers,
foundations, alpha-hydroxy acids, and moisturizers to lip liners, eye
shadows, and concealers, all of which Begoun has personally tested. (There
are no hair care products listed, as that warrants another book entirely.

Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me: Over 4,000 Products Reviewed, Plus the Latest Hair-Care Information
Over 4,000 Products Reviewed, Plus the Latest
Hair-Care Information.
Paula Begoun, Sigrid Asmus, John Hopper, Jennifer Forbes Provo,
Stephanie Parsons
Are $20 shampoos and conditioners worth it? Can good hair-care products
be found at the drugstore, or are the expensive salon products really superior?
In this comprehensive guide to all things hair care, consumer advocate Paula
Begoun answers those questions and more in her reviews of more than 130
drugstore, salon, and department store hair product lines, from Aveda to Matrix
and Pantene to Zirh. Thousands of products are described and evaluated according
to their performance, reliability, price, and claims. Begoun compares good and
bad ingredients, dispels hair-care industry myths, evaluates what helps and what
hurts hair, and explains how to tell the difference between reality and hype
with respect to a product's performance. Hair sprays, shampoos, conditioners,
gels, mousses, pomades, silicone serums, and other items are covered. Her "Best
Products" lists make it easy to find items worth trying in any category. The
consumer bible of hair-care products, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products
Without Me shows how to find the best products available at the most economical
prices. Ultimately, Begoun shows consumers how to have beautiful tresses without
spending a fortune.

Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary (Milady's Skin Care and
Cosmetics Ingredients Dictionary)
Natalia Michalun, Varinia Michalun
The second edition of this thorough reference
is an invaluable tool for assessing cosmetic products, addressing both the
quality of the product and the effect it has on the skin. Since a product's
ultimate purpose is to benefit the skin, it is crucial to have an understanding
of how the skin works, how and why a product may or may not penetrate it, and
what care individual skin types and conditions may require. It is difficult to
discuss product ingredients without correlating product performance to skin
function.

Crack Up at the Wake of Dawn: Everyday Poetry to Incite and Delight Your
Soul
Another great Book from our GG Member Sue Jones!
If you are a fan of "Parting the Fog", you won't
want to miss this book. Although it isn't specific to fibro, you WILL find
chapters you can closely relate to, since many topics are dealt with. Some
of the poems may make you cry, others make you laugh, and still others
trigger a thought or give you greater insight. Whichever the case, you won't
be left unaffected.
Take My Hand: The Extraordinary Story of a Girl Named Janis
In Take My Hand, Audrey Revell (a

composer despite having lost her sight as a child together with progressive
hearing loss.
