Read the reviews and save your money.,

This review is from: Healing Options: A Report on (Paperback)
It's OK as far as it goes, but it IS after all, only one person's account of her experience. Otherwise, having been given a mildly borderline diagnosis "possible Graves", I quickly figured out that going on the internet would probably give me more information from which to make my own decisions about what is, after all, my (as opposed to the medical industry) body. If you do feel the need to buy this book, do so. Otherwise, read the reviews, go on the internet, and save your money.

Truly, a Gift of Strength and Hope,
By sue wilcox (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Options: A Report on (Paperback)
As a newly diagnosed patient, this is a book I need in my life. I am so grateful to have found it. Not only is this book informative with a terrific index, glossary, and resource section, but heartfelt and easy to read besides. Kate Flax's personal excursion to wellness is truly inspiring and gives me the strength and hope to make that path mine.

Good information, lousy presentation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Options: A Report on (Paperback)
Readers looking for books on Graves' Disease have few choices, so anything on the subject is welcome, especially if you are newly diagnosed. While Kate Flax's empathy and genuine desire to help others comes through on most pages, the book is a muddle of poor punctuation, listless writing, careless spelling errors (example: spelling Dr. Andrew Weil "Dr. Wile"), and generally could have benefited from the work of a proofreader or copyeditor. Flax writes that she is dyslexic, but surely someone could have read the manuscript before it was printed? The errors, which abound on every page, distracted this reader from an otherwise valuable and informative book. Despite the protestations of Natalie Goldberg and Anne Lamott, both of whom are mentioned in Flax's acknowledgments and both of whom have encouraged thousands of fledgling writers, not everyone is a writer. At the very least, this book proves that certainly not everyone is a proofreader. This book feels like a manuscript-length post in an online support group. The errors in form reflect poorly on the accuracy of the information contained in the book. If you are the kind of person who corrects misspellings on billboards, this book will drive you nuts and is best to be avoided. If you're not this kind of reader, you may find the contents comforting and helpful.
