Neuromuscular-Disorders Books

Sheila Rogers has released a new edition/book titled: "Natural Treatments for Tics and Tourette's: A Patient and Family Guide"

[..] for all those like myself who need this book and don't want to spend [..] for a used, previous edition.

This book was a God send. I found this book after discovering my son had a transcient motor tic. We were told to learn to live with the ticing unless we wanted to heavily medicate our son. This book opened our eyes and put us in contact with other parents facing similar issues through their website. At first I put him on a number of different supplements and I was able to get the tics to subside almost completely. Someone on the website suggested I test his strep titers because following a fever his tics increased. If it wasn't for this book we wouldn't have known to check our sons titers which came back extremely high. Come to find out he had developed strep and was never treated for it. Once we put him on anitbiotics his tics subsided quite a bit. We are in the process of testing him for metals because we think a hep B vaccination may have contributed to his current condition. There is a wealth of info in this book and even more on their website. Tics and Tourette cases have skyrocketed in current years along with autism, ADHD and seizure disorders. These disorders have increased with the increased schedule of vaccines. Our son had seizures following a hep b vaccine at birth and the more research we did the more we were convinced that the toxins in the vaccine caused him to be more suseptable to an avalanche of medical issues due to the fact that his immune system had been compromised. Now we are working on ridding his system of toxins and refuse any and all vaccinations. My newborn was not vaccinated at all and she is the healthiest baby we've ever seen. She has been to a number of physicians who have said she's the healthiest and most developmentally advanced baby they've seen in a long time. God bless the people who wrote this book.

This book is terrific. I cannot say enough good things about it. I highly recommend it!

Tics and Tourette's: Breakthrough Discoveries in Natural Treatments

As a concert-pianist, music therapist, author, and an individual living with Tourette Syndrome, I must "take my hat off" to Sheila Rogers for bringing together a cascade of knowledge by various doctors, pediatric neurologists,
authors and many other leading authorities. As there is no cure for Tourette Syndrome, parents, families and adults are desperately seeking out new innovations and ideas with the hope that somewhere a new approach/approaches will come to the forefront. This book offers exactly what so many have been looking for, thought provoking ideas without the side-effects of medication, approaches that
are natural and display underlying common sense!
Since reading the book, I have followed many of the innovative ideas and have found improvement in my own tics.
As a music therapist, which is also a natural, non side effect technique, I have incorporated the many findings in this book with my own student's!

BRAVO! SHEILA J. ROGERS!, what will you come up with next!

This book is eye-opening and thought-provoking. Just consider the possibility of your child being tic-free or at least know you might have the chance of reducing the incidence of tics without medication. Get this book, and share it with others.

A book written by great teachers and authors. A classic and should be part of every emgers library.

This book is amazing! Extremely well written, comprehensive and the best textbook in the field of PM&R/Electrodiagnostic study. I highly recommend it!

I really like this book. It teaches EMG/NCS in a step by step manner and helps the reader from scratch. 2 CD-s that come with it are a great resource.

I recommend it to every one in the EMG/NCS buisness.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It offers a good and practical review of the pertinent entrapment syndromes and other illness. Its concise and well written.

If you are looking for a solid book to begin learning about EMG/NCS, this is an excellent choice. The text is clear and concise, reflecting the exceptional instructional abilities of Drs. Preston and Shapiro. The text is very "readable" and
organized in a logical fashion with helpful illustrations alongside. A bonus of this book is the CD, which is very user friendly and allows one to establish visual recognition of basic concepts in the needle study such as spontaneous and voluntary activities. The CD also includes unknowns for a short quiz or review.

Bashar Katirji has certanly done it. Neroligists every where should definetly get this book. With its detailed pictures and details in general, it would out come any old book. Please write some mor Katirji!!

This book is the result of more than fifteen years of teaching EMG to medical students, neurology residents first at the University of Pittsburgh and, lately, at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The objective of this book is to provide a practical discussions of the most commonly encountered disorders in the EMG laboratory, using typical and real case studies.

Excellent clinical book, covers most clinical cases in EMG. Amust to all neurologists and physiatrists.

I studied this book many times (resident, fellow, before exams), and every time I found myself learning from it more and more.
It is about 300 pages, with 25 cases. The first 16 cases deal with common entrapment neuropathies, radiculopathies, etc in upper and lower extremities (8 cases each). The last nine cases are oriented for generalized diseases such as Myasthenia, AIDP, botulism, etc. Each case starts with history/exam followed by few questions. The next 2-3 pages are the NCS/ENG findings. The next 5-15 pages (varies between cases) are rich with very informative discussion about the electrophysiological findings, anatomy with pictures and charts, clinical with few tables, then a lengthy electrophysiological explanations about the particular case and its differential diagnosis, with many tables( key EMG muscles, LEMS versus MG). The case ends with a follow up.
As I said above, I keep learning from this book, and I do not hesitate to recommend it.

Hi! I'm Linda Katirji, and Bashar Katirji is my dad. If you lived in my house in Ohio, you would know how long my dad worked on this book. Day and night he sat at this darn computor and wrote this book... he put so much hard work into it. Even though i cant understand half the "doctors lingo" as he calls it, (i'm only 13) i can see the effort he put into it and the satistfaction he got out of it. Even if only 10 people bought this book, he would be thrilled and i'm very proud of my dad. Dad, i applaud you.

Due to the nature of the diseases, FSH, Cogenial, Limb-Girdle, and Mysenthia Gravis, all of the Muscular Dystrophy family, the medical profession failed to recognize the symptons of these debilitating diseases and diagnosed this condition as depression which resulted in being in several state mental hospitals for years and given powerful anti-psychotic drugs causing hallucinations which reflected to a beautiful childhood. However, with the quick response of a didicated team of drs. from California the correct diagnosis of MD was discovered and treatment was given and the book tells of a beautiful love story as its ending. Not always the easiest read because of such a trauma but it shows the reader the awful consequences resulting from a physical illness such as muscular dystrophy mistaken by outstanding doctors for a mental illness.

I have just finished reading this book and am anxious to see it go to the top of every reading list and a movie, too. It is such a captivating read and also such a revealing study of personal experience in a mysterious world of the mind out of control because of mind altering drugs even if they are being prescribed by doctors. It was so very incouraging to see there is hope and life afterward. Frank Wray, I applaud you!

I found this book to not only be uplifting but also very rewarding. For those who face obstacles in their life, this book will surely be uplifting and rewarding!

It is one thing to have the courage this author has to have survived such a truama and, another to have written this true story and, yet another and most importantly to have the courage and stand up and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. This inspirational book is one that will touch many lives and will live forever in ones heart. It is also a most beautiful love story that will make grown women and men cry.

This book is recommendable for students and physicaltherapists, practitioners of the use of electrotherapy modalities and procedures in the usage clinical. The authors offer a review of the physiologics principles, devices, instrumentation, and general principles of electrical stimulation. This title contributes to knowledgement about current developments in their research findings, theory and wide range of clinical application of the modality. Whereas, this book provides understanting and support for the practice of electrotherapy to obtain desired physiologic responses for the management of diseases and injuries in humans by physitherapy

Great review. Even demonstrates bathtub electrotherapy. Utterly shocking and in depth coverage of this most electrifying subject!

I would like very much to review this book. I was promised a delivery date of NLT 25 April 2002; now I have been alerted that the delivery date is postponed a month. Dr. Henry Purcell, April 23rd, 2002

This is an excellent book for readers of neurology, and for patients with a variety of neurological ailments. This should be a part of every school and medical school library.

Is this the most excellent book, that clarifies the mind of the students and doctors in the world. 'I WANT ONLY A FAVOR: I NEED THIS TWO BOOKS COLLECTION IN CD ROM URGENTLY PLEASE, I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE THEM OR NOT, PLEASE Y BEG YOU'

This book is another masterpiece by Netter. Each page has a large detailed illustration. Netter is a genius. The way Netter draws something is usually the best way for a student to mentally visualize the topic. Netter takes complex topics and makes them relatively straightforward by clever, aesthetically pleasing drawings that combine the anatomy, physiology and pathology. These words are based on a lot of experience as I have taught neuroanatomy over the past 10 years and am a neuroradiologist.

I have the German edition and used it during my studies for the medschool exam. The pictures really help memorizing difficult facts about several diseases.

How often do we see a book about ALS totally written and edited by persons with ALS (PALS )and their family members ? That is what makes "Journeys With ALS" both a unique and compelling book. Edited by David Feigenbaum, a PALS from Virginia, "Journeys" is a collection of over 30 firsthand accounts of people living with ALS.

Although none of the contributors to "Journeys "is a professional writer this is not an amateurish effort. The writing is straightforward and concise, and the simple power of each individual story is what grabs the reader. Many of the stories are inspirational, several are brutally blunt, but all speak from the heart. They all describe the necessary adjustment process every PALS goes through , both physically and emotionally. But the real beauty of the book lies in the differences of each of the stories. We are reminded again of the many varied progressions and symptoms inherent in ALS . Even more significantly, "Journeys" highlights the individual PALS, each of whom has a unique personality and existence beyond their illness , a fact often overlooked by many.

Successful coping with ALS involves a willingness to learn both new techniques for the body and new attitudes for the soul. "Journeys " is, at its finest, a learning experience . A "veteran "PALS or family member will find much in the book with which they can identify. But, even the most veteran of us also will surely find some new perspectives. For the newly diagnosed, the book offers some insights into what they may expect in the future. More importantly, however, "Journeys" proclaims loudly for all that there is indeed life, much life, after diagnosis.

This is a great book for those patients or families who will have to deal with ALS. Since a close member of my family was diagnosed, this book helped me to anticipate what the future might bring and decisions that may have to be made.

Also good emphasis was placed on keeping hope and life alive.

Jonathan Coles is perhaps the first writer to set into words many of the thoughts that I, and others affected with Moebius syndrome have considered for an eternity - how do we describe a purely physical condition that has intensely emotional consequences?

I found myself underlining and starring a variety of points from his book that simply rang true with my own thoughts and experiences. Having grown up during a time when people felt things were best handled when "ignored" (and thus, NOT 'handled' - only "stuffed") I appreciated reading of Coles' observations - they made my own memories and perceptions have a slight more ring of authenticity to them.

I would hope that, at some later date, those of us affected with Moebius ("Moebians" as we call ourselves!) would collaborate jointly on an additional literary project - that of sharing our own thoughts as we experience life without a smile. Anyone who thinks we all lead lives of reclusive solitude would be in for a huge surprise. Our greatest challenge seems to not be that which society percieves, the sad state of not having a smile, but rather the limitations others impose upon us by virtue of what they see and perceive. ('he's not smiling - he must be (1) disinterested, (2) dull, (3) stupid (4) uncaring ..., etc.)' Believe me, THAT kind of assumption is as example of the true burdens we must face on a regular basis - the mistaken notions that strangers have when ignorance and prejudice governs how they interact with people they don't know.

You'll never find another book "out there" that deals with facial expression like this one does - I've looked!

After saying this all, I can also say that I DON'T HAVE A BIG MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! And... I can say THAT with a straight face! :):)
