Don’t let the previous review scare you. The quackwatch guys are the quacks themselves. Barrett, who heads up the quackwatch “research”, is not a board certified doctor of anything and has been sued a bunch of times. The book itself is excellent and describes a treatment protocol that works. This protocol brought me back from near death when no local doctor could even figure out what was wrong with me. The protocol has also significantly helped our son who has autism. The “best” specialists told us there was no treatment for our son’s autism and he would be permanently institutionalized by the age of 7. However, like many autism kids doing biomedical treatments, including those listed in this book, he has almost recovered. He’s now 8 and attends a regular school where he performs on grade level. The treatments in this book work. It’s definately worth a look.

For me, this book was a more holistic supplement to Mary J. Shomon’s book, Living Well with Autoimmune Disease. It is logically formatted and is an easy resource for the specific condition about which one wishes to learn. The plus is it offers medical treatment and counters with non-drug treatment options for autoimmune conditions. A glossary and an appendix add to its value as a resource.

Having had autoimmune disorders for years, I was looking for options. While for some the drugs commonly prescribed for these disorders works, for me it did not. I was happy to see other options that are mentioned in the book that I can incorporate into my daily life. Not all of the options are for me, but neither is it for anyone with any protocol.

I want to reiterate what another reviewer already said: “Don’t let the previous review scare you. The quackwatch guys are the quacks themselves. Barrett, who heads up the quackwatch “research”, is not a board certified doctor of anything and has been sued a bunch of times.” So true! Not only is that true, but any doctor who sets out to provide treatment protocols for patients that do not feed the bloody maw of Big Pharma (which brainwashes the masses into believing that any illness is the lack of one of their drugs!) is guaranteed to at least come under fire if not be set up to take a fall by covert measures.
Okay, having said that so that you know I’ve read the court files and assessed them as a complete set-up, let me now talk about the book.
This book is engaging and full of cutting edge science as well as practical advice. Dr. Edelson explains some very complex physiological systems in clear language that even impressed my doctor who said she never did understand it as well even in medical school! Not only that, but Edelson was a pioneer in a field that is now being taken up by other high profile doctors such as Mark Hyman, author of “The Ultra-Mind Solution”. They are saying pretty much the same things, only Edelson said it first.
Like any other diet or health book, there is a particular focus and some of his ideas and protocols won’t work for everyone. But, by and large, Dr. Edelson manages to connect things together in a very comprehensive way, and those people who will not benefit from his approach are, I would think, a vanishing minority.
One thing that struck me and convinced me that Dr. Edelson really knew his stuff was his mention of the inflamed blood vessel lumps that appear in the forearms of individuals who suffer rheumatoid arthritis. I’ve had these lumps for years, I have rheumatoid arthritis, and no other doctor has ever been able to tell me what those lumps are. What’s more, they have begun to disappear simply from following the protocol in Dr. Edelson’s book. My doctor is even willing to experiment with the anti-biotic treatment for my condition and I’m looking forward to even greater improvement than I have achieved already, and that will be something! I’m already almost 90% free of pain and my good days now far outnumber my bad days!
Thank you Dr. Edelson!

I’ve suffered with migriane headaches, CFS, and FMS for over 13 years. I have been to so many doctors (medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths…) that I’ve lost count. Whenever I asked these doctors why I feel like a 90 y.o. in a 38 y.o. body, they would all look at me with a blank stare. Some of these fruitcakes even suggested that it was all in my head (IAIMH). Dr. Michael Johnson has FINALLY given me the answers that I’ve been looking for all these years. Now I know why my memory is poor, why I get tongued-tied, why I’m light sensitive, and I suffer with chronic pain. Plus, this book is loaded with case histories. Time after time while I read this book, I would say to myself: “That sounds just like me”! If you suffer from chronic pain the way I have, PLEASE read this book! I’ve read a ton of books on FMS,CFS, and migraines and this is by far the best!!!!!!

For anyone who suffers from chronic fatigue, chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, and other conditions that don’t respond to traditional medicines, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE MEDICATIONS DON’T WORK? by Dr. Michael L. Johnson offers a ray of healing hope. The author, a Chiropractic Neurologist and founder of one of the nation’s first multi-disciplinary clinics documents case after case of patients he has worked with, and treated, with the groundbreaking procedures he has helped develop. Using both his understanding of the human brain and the relationship between the brain chemicals and hormones and the chronic conditions that plague millions of people, Dr. Johnson provides a foundation of multi-disciplinary healing that can be applied to anyone tired of dealing with debilitating migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, vertigo, numbness and a variety of other conditions.This book doesn’t just outline theories and offer up treatments, it explains in fully understandable detail why our bodies react the way they do, how we become diseased in the first place, what role the brain plays in our aches and ailments, and how the combination of chiropractic techniques and neurological treatments that target the brain can provide a relief from pain that ordinary pills and procedures cannot.I was fascinated by the explanation of the various parts of the human brain, and which parts are responsible for causing which pains and sensations we suffer. The non-drug tests and treatments suggested in this book seem to target those exact brain parts and chemical imbalances that create the problem, rather than just masking symptoms. The comprehensive examinations Dr. Johnson provides his patients, combined with his actual healing techniques, are all personally designed to the patient’s needs, rather than just taken from a big, fat medical diagnosis textbook. He truly gets as much information on his patients as he can before he commences any kind of treatment, so that when he does begin work, whether it is using chiropractic manipulation or some type of exercise designed to stimulate a certain area of the brain and get those neurons firing, that work is all but guaranteed to produce a positive effect on the patient.In fact, so many of Dr. Johnson’s patients report incredible results from their treatments, results they have never come close to receiving using traditional doctors who practice “old school” medicine.I have friends with fibromalgyia and migraines, and plan to tell them all about WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE MEDICATIONS DON’T WORK because, after reading it, I believe it is a great alternative to what most doctors offer – which is usually some expensive pharmaceutical or impractical surgery. Dr. Johnson’s amazing research and clinical work with patients opens up a whole new world of healing for the most stubborn cases of chronic pain, offering new hope to those who have all but given up hope.

This is definitely a must-read for everyone who suffers from migraines, fibromyalgia, dizziness, vertigo, or any chronic pain condition. It explains – in great detail but very simple language – how these conditions arise and what YOU can do to help them. Dr. Johnson explains that chronic pain is caused by your brain not working properly, and he shows how you can fix it without using drugs. He explains how simple treatments like using a squeeze ball in one of your hands or doing mazes will stimulate your brain and help your condition. All of the patients that Dr. Johnson talks about are typical chronic pain patients – they have been suffering for years, they have tried tons of treatments, and many of them have become depressed because doctors can’t do anything for them. But after doing Dr. Johnson’s neurological treatments, they all notice huge changes – it’s really amazing to read about. I am definitely going to recommend this book to my friends who have these chronic pain conditions or who have family members with chronic pain and want to help. I think it could really change their lives.

A patient of mine gave me a copy of this book and asked for my opinion. He has been suffering from dizziness for the past seven years. I am a family physician and have referred this patient to numerous specialists over the years. I have never heard of a “chiropractic neurologist”, but I found this book to be very informative. In the first two chapters the author explains his path to health after he had suffered from migraine headaches for many years. I enjoyed the case histories in many of the chapters and found some of the treatments interesting. I say “interesting” because I may not agree with all of them. I placed a call to the author to ask specific questions concerning my patient and I was impressed with his grasp of what could be causing the vertigo. I recommended my patient to this author and I will recommend his book to you.

I suffered with fibomyalgia for 18 years before my family physician (yes, you heard it right, as in M.D) handed me a copy of this book. I read it in one day which is probably the fastest that I have ever read a book in my life. I finished it on a Sunday and on Monday I called Dr. Johnson’s office to schedule an appointment. I became a patient even though it was a one hour drive one-way to his offfice. That was 6 months ago and I can honestly say that this is the best I have felt in the last 13 years. I have more energy, I am sleeping better than I have in my life, and best of all, I am free of pain. Sure I get minor aches and pains like everyone else if I over do it, but I finally feel “normal” again for the first time in years.
This book is right on the money and if you suffer, then you have to read it!
