Book excerpt: At least 3 to 5 million Americans suffer from environmental illness (EI) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), two illnesses cast into a skeptical light by the medical community and the general public. Those with EI and CFS suffer not only with their illnesses, but also from feelings of isolation and the uncertainty of whether or not they will ever be 'normal' again. The Rebellious Body is not only a guide for alleviating symptoms, but also is an invaluable tool that makes sense out of the confusing quirks of these illnesses, and offers choices as to what to do about them in order to maintain a balance of body, mind, and spirit. Ideal reading for individuals suffering from EI and CFS, and also for health practitioners, families and friends of sufferers, and for all who struggle with fatigue and immune-related health problems.
