Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-31 00:00:00 St-Germain Steve I never though I would give this book such a bad review but in this case, I would shoot the messenger, but not the message. The author, Celeste Pepe is not the person you want to get advice for MS from. Her misinformation and huge ego is more than I can handle. From the reviews on Amazon.com, I'm not alone. From the first two chapters where she hops around to multiple doctors doing the same thing hoping for different diagnostic results (not something most people have the option of doing) to where she wrongly states that the drug, Betaseron is a "beta blocker" which is it NOT gives you an idea of what I mean. You cant help but to roll your eyes at Pepe constant flaunting her lavish lifestyle, from the personal cooks to the "privacy glass" of the window of her chauffeur driven limo (from the doctor's office). Jet setting around the country to receive special treatments when many people with MS cant even afford basic health care makes it obvious she's not speaking to "the rest of us". What really got until my skin is her lack of knowledge of basic nutrition. She claims to be a Natropathic Doctor, but she obviously didn't know any more about food and nutrition than the average MD. I have had three NDs over the years and they all have very extensive knowledge on the subject. She gives NDs a bad name in my opinion. I couldn't get very far in the third chapter before putting the book down. I scanned though parts of the rest of the book and was floored to find that in chapter 6, she was invited to speak to a group of MS patients and proceeded to show off how well she was doing by mockingly standing up in her heels and "did a little spin for their benefit" when they were questioning her knowledge and information. A few of these people were in wheelchairs. I would like to think that I have a thick skin, but this sickened me. Don't waste your time or money on this book . Thankfully, I purchased it from a used book store (now I know why it was there) so I didn't pay a much, but it was a huge waste of time and energy.
