I tried and failed to read this book; it (and the other books by this author) was just too heavily interspersed with biochemistry. I gave it and the other books to my doctor to see if she could get anything out of it. She's a bit out there herself (she's a physician who includes acupuncture, yoga, and other "alternative therapies" in her practice), but after going through the books and researching the author, she told me that he's considered a "crackpot". His premise sounds good, but then I got lost, and I think she did too. Not that it's definitive, but the fact that he is a lone voice without any noticible followers (he retired several years ago) would seem to indicate that this is a dead end in my search for someone who knows what fibromyalgia is and what to do about it.
