Review Detail

Gloria Gilbere is a traditional naturopath, homeopath and doctor of natural health and is an internationally known author and speaker.

In this book she defines what she calls 'invisible illnesses'. These are the illnesses that visitors to this website will be very familiar with and include chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, leaky gut syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivity. The term 'invisible illnesses' is very apt, how many times have people told you that you like fine? I can't count the number of times I have heard that phrase!

Being a natural health practitioner, the author uses the bulk of the book to discuss the various natural therapies that can be used to manage invisible illnesses and set the patient on the road to recovery. Chapters focus on various specific issues that must be addressed for healing to occur. These include gut problems and the gut-brain connection, reducing the toxic load on the body, improving immune system health, and improving emotional wellbeing.

The book recommends various therapies that can address these and other issues. Therapies include diet modification and nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, and colonic irrigation.

What sets this book apart from others in a similar vein is that Gloria Gilb? has suffered from invisible illnesses herself and managed to regain her health through the natural methods she now recommends to others. It's clear that she understands what readers are going through with these conditions as her compassion and empathy is clear throughout.

This book is an invaluable resource by an author whose own renewed health is proof of the effectiveness of the treatments described.
