Sleep Right in Five Nights: A Clear and Effective Guide for Conquering Insomnia

Sleep Right in Five Nights: A Clear and Effective Guide for Conquering Insomnia
Customer Review: Finally: Something besides “Sleep Hygiene” “Cures”
I was having a terrible time with insomnia in 1994/5. I read every article I could find, and several books. All suggested about the same “sleep hygiene” methods of sleeping better. Finally I found this book which discussed better attitudes towards sleep, and what worked for me…temporary sleep depriviation, and I haven’t had much of a problem since. I’ve recommended it to others, and most of them were helped too.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: A Survival Guide
People who suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity (or MCS) develop severe allergic reactions to their environments. Solvents, pesticides, fresh paint, new carpets, perfumes, and air fresheners are just a few of the substances that can trigger an MCS attack. The condition is often hard to diagnose, and frustrated patients are frequently shuttled from doctor to doctor. This survival guide is based on the latest MCS research-and on the data that the author accumulated over five years researching the impact of MCS on its victims. She reviews what is known about MCS and its symptoms and provides step-by-step advice for coping with the condition, including taking steps to make your home safe, getting professional help, and mobilizing the support of family and friends.
Customer Review: Excellent Book!
This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. It is great for people who are new to the MCS/Chemical Sensitivity world. It also takes you allot further. There are so many things in this book that others do not cover. There is also a nice resource listing of where to buy special products just for the Chemically Sensitive individual, I found that very useful as well. I would say if your new to MCS then this is the book for you. It is the most comprehensive, straight forward easy to read version. I would start here and then move on to others by Bonnye L. Matthews Or William Rea.
Customer Review: One of the best books on MCS
My wife suffers from MCS. As such, I have read most of the books available concerning MCS. Most books are from a medical professional covering a particular medical theory or treatment plan for MCS. What makes this book different is that it really explains the impact of MCS on people’s lives. It dispells the myths surrounding the various treatments. The book is based upon surveys and interviews with hundreds of MCS patients. As such, the advice is based upon their experiences. When discussing treatments, statistics are provided on how many people were helped, how many harmed, how many uncertain. This books is great for those new to MCS, those who have been around a long time, those who are patients, those who know someone with MCS. I would recommend this book be added to anyone’s library. This is not the only excellent book on MCS … it is now simply the first book I recommend that people read.
