Fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and restless legs syndrome are disorders caused by an inability of the brain to properly regulate pain and sympathetic nervous activity, according to rheumatologist Dr. Clay McCord. Dr. McCord presents evidence that a chemical imbalance in the brain disrupts deep sleep. Therapy that restores this imbalance improves sleep and alleviates symptoms. Failure to recognize these associations has led to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, referrals to multiple specialists and money needlessly wasted. This book attempts to put an end to misunderstandings as they relate to fibromyalgia and dispels myths that the disease either doesn't exist or is all in the patient's mind. No longer should patients suffer unnecessarily or fall victim to charlatans offering nothing more than "junk science." After being frustrated for years watching others profit off discredited theories, Dr. McCord feels revealing the truth is the only way to combat the deception and bring relief to those who suffer. TH Dr. Clay McCord practices medicine in southern California. He graduated from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and is certified in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

A rheumatologist and a psychologist offer an informative and compassionate perspective on coping with lupus for patients and their families. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is difficult to diagnose, and the symptoms-from achy joints to skin rashes-often mimic those of other diseases. Based on extensive research and clinical experience, Lupus Q&A answers the myriad questions of the more than 1.4 million lupus patients in this country. The book demystifies lupus by explaining diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, medication, and the psychological impact of the disease.

Product Description: Marjory Barlow (1915 - 2006) was the niece of the late FM Alexander, originator of the world-renowned Alexander Technique. She started having lessons with her uncle when she was 16 and joined the first Alexander Technique teacher training course a year later. With her husband, NHS rheumatologist and Alexander Technique teacher Dr Wilfred Barlow, she opened an Alexander Technique teacher training course at the London-based Alexander Institute in 1950. After retiring from teacher training in 1979, Marjory continued giving lessons in small classes for teachers and students at her flat in Primrose Hill. It was there that social anthropologist and Alexander Technique teacher, Sean Carey PhD, interviewed her for this much-praised text, which provides unique insights into FM Alexander and the procedures which he developed for his students, including 'monkey', squatting, hands over the back of a chair, going up on to the toes, the lunge, the whispered ah, and lying down in semi-supine. Review: To have an accurate record of how FM Alexander taught his pupils, presented here by his niece, is not only an invaluable resource for us now, but also a most enjoyable read. Diana Devitt-Dawson, Director and Head of Training, Alexander Technique Institute and Teacher Training School, Sydney The informative discussion of the ground rules, paired with Barlow's insights into Alexander's character and teaching methods, make this book a valuable addition to the literature on the Alexander Technique. Susan Lehotsky, AmSAT teacher of the Alexander Technique, Carlisle, Massachusetts A modern classic for all Alexander students
