Steeten's "Orthostatic Disorders of the Circulation: Mechanisms, Manifestations & Treatment" is a research-based thorough review of orthostatic circulation disorders. The author, who has researched the subject for 40+ years, provides the reader with definitions and descriptions of orthostatic edema and hypotension, and lists and differentiates between the various types of edema. Theories related to the pathophysiology of the orthostatic disorders are put forth. Diagnostic tests and interpretations of results from these tests are clearly described, but caution must be used in repeating these tests as described since some changes have developed since the book was published in 1987. Finally, recommendations for medical management of the disorders are provided. Overall, the book is an excellent primer for the practitioner who is unfamiliar with both orthostatic disorders, but particularly the elusive subject of orthostatic edema.

I have tried several sensible "healthy eating" diets such as Weight Watchers and the South Beach Diet, but it was very difficult for me to stick to any type of regime due to my frequent food cravings. I always start a diet with enthusiasm, resolve, and good intentions, but then fall off the wagon as soon as I consume any sugar, chocolate, chips or diet "no-no foods." Blame it on my compulsiveness and "all or nothing" mentality!!
However, after having implemented some of Dr. Haas' basic principles, such as eliminating the infamous "sensitive seven" foods, I feel I can resit my cravings and not give up on my healthy eating endeavor. I have been on the FFD for 7 days, and feel less bloated, more in control of my appetite, and less drawn to both sugary and starchy foods.
Dr. Haas also states that if we have failed on our previous diet attempts, it's not because we have poor discipline and will power; it is because our body chemistry has been altered by all the toxins we ingest and breathe. Therefore, we are biochemically less able to resist cravings and more likely to have withdrawals from our favorite, often "reactive", foods.

I have been about 25 lbs overweight for about 10 years. I was exercising and eating sensibly but still no budge on the pudge. This diet is amazing. I didn't detox but I stopped eating dairy and lost 10 lbs almost immediately! Then I cut wheat and lost the other 10 lbs. This book will help you loose weight and begin a new way of understanding your body. My doctor recommended this book and I can't wait for my 1 year checkup to show him the progress. I would give 5 stars but I thought some of the information in the book was over the top....I'm sure it works though. Thanks for reading and Good Luck with your weight loss.

Dr, Haas is a visioary. In 2003 I read the book. I was 38 at the time. I went from 208 to 170 in just under 3 months. Plus most of my symptoms of ADHD went away, all this w/o medication.

If you read the book everything makes perfect sense. I wish everyone would read it. When you purchase it, don't buy 1 copy, buy 5, or even 10. Give them out to the people that you love. I've given out at least 20 this way.

Dr. Haas has really impacted my life.

Unlike many of the reviewers here, I came to this book after being diagnosed with food allergies. Having struggled with skin rashes, mouth sores, constipation, bloating, cramping, diareha, mood swings, depression, shortness of breath, lethargy, aching joints and a multitude of other symptoms, I finally found a food allergy specialist who believed that you could have more than one or two true food allergies. Within 15 mins, he had tested me for 72 different foods and discovered I was allergic to 33 of them. Basically, everything that we all eat every day. Within one week of eliminating those foods, my symptoms stopped and within three weeks, I had lost 15 pounds. Mind you, I was not overweight in the least but due to the water retention and inflammation, I was packing an extra 15 pounds of water weight and several inches around my ankles, thighs, waist, arms and in my face! Also, ladies, staying away from allergenic foods and incorporating moderate exercise will all but eliminate cellulite as well. Afterall, cellulite is not just fat but also toxins trapped under the skin - eliminate the toxins and you eliminate the dipples. In short, everything that Dr. Haas promises (quick weight reduction and continued accelerated fat loss) is exactly what will happen if food allergies are the culprit involved in your weight issues. Not only do I have personal experience with this but my allergist can attest that it is the same story with all of his patients! It may seem all but impossible at first to eliminate these common foods but after the first week, your cravings diminish quickly and are all but gone by week three. I believe food allergy is a hidden epidemic in America and is the cause of the rise in obesity in adults as well as children.

I'm 22 years old and I have been about 10 to 15 pounds overweight since I was 10. I have been counting my calories, eating healthy, and exercising for 12 years without any results. I always was told that I simply have a body type that looks fatter and that I have a slow metabolism. I have tested negative for diabetes, thyroid problems, and other weight-gaining problems. This was all very discouraging to me because I always felt drained and bloated, and I thought nothing could help me.

I found out about Dr. Haas in a natural healing book. I did his detox program for only five days and by the second day I had lost several pounds of water weight, 4 inches off of my hips, 3 off of my waist, and 3 off my bust! I went from a size 12 to an 8. This is the thinnest I've ever been and I feel great!

I am right in the middle of the 21-day False Fat diet and am continually doing better. My sugar and starch cravings are fading (surprising, since I work in a bakery) I didn't do the juice fast because of blood sugar problems and anemia(caused probably by food allergies), but the results are still great! Also, Dr. Haas recommends a whole heap of herbal, mineral, and vitamin supplements, which are very expensive, so I only got the basics. I'm excited to find out what my food allergies are so I can cut them out and get into the best shape of my life, for the rest of my life!

I recommend this book to everyone, thin or not. I think that food allergies are a huge problem in our society, and even healthy-looking people may have problems with certain foods. Most food in stores contain all of the sensitive 7! If you do this diet, be aware that you will absolutely have to cook all of your meals and try a lot of foods that you've probably never heard of. This takes a lot of time, devotion, planning, and commitment, but it's well worth it. This will be the last diet you'll ever do, forget South Beach, Nutrisystem, and all that other temporary junk! Get healthy!

This is an excellent text if one is interested in the interactions between basic and clinical sciences. Primary care providers would not likely find this of much interest. Basic scientists and subspecialists would find this an excellent bridge between the two fields(a subject which is otherwise difficult to find and simplily described). This is much easier than the Handbook of Physiology to read, yet as informative. This is intended to be for fellows & practicing physicians in the ICU.
