Reversing Multiple Sclerosis
9 Effective Steps to Recover Your Health
Celeste Pepe, D.C., N.D.
and Lisa Hammond
Celeste Pepe was strong, fit, and energetic until multiple sclerosis attacked. The verdict: incurable. The option: masking symptoms with synthetic drugs that did nothing to reverse the disease and often produced debilitating side effects. Instead, Pepe sought alternative therapies that have resulted with hard work and commitment, in an ongoing reversal of her MS symptoms.
·A revealing look into the physical and emotional world of a multiple sclerosis patient
·A doctor defies her own fears in a courageous personal journey from incurable illness to healing
·An easy-to-read instruction manual for reclaiming health, complete with an extensive resource section
·Find out how combining alternative treatments such as biocybernetic testing, mercury removal, chelation, and apitherapy with proper diet, nutrition, and exercise may reverse the debilitating symptoms of a little-understood disease
From the Inside Flap
Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating disease that has long been regarded as being almost beyond the possibility of successful treatment. For many patients a diagnosis of MS has meant the end of a normally functioning life. Not any longer.
Celeste Pepe was a vigorous 42, a busy chiropractor and naturopath, when she an MS diagnosis.
What does an expert in alternative medicine do when she gets seriously ill? Dr. Pepe realized it was time to put her deep belief in alternative medicine to the test. She resolved to find and employ effective natural ways to reverse this condition and restore her health. She did, and her multiple sclerosis is now a thing of the past.
Dr. Pepe’s remarkable healing odyssey took her through many disciplines, theories, and practices in the world of natural medicine and into the depths of her own body and mind. In the end, she distilled her successful treatment into a program that nay MS patient can follow to restore health. She explains this with clarity, medical precision, and a strong measure of encouragement.
Using her own healing experience, Dr. Pepe explains the nine step that can help the MS patient turn the corner on this disease: detailed nutrient testing and fortification, bee venom treatment, allergy testing, dietary changes, personally tailored nutritional plans, the use of specialized supplements, chelation therapy, regular exercise, and the replacement of mercury amalgam dental fillings. “I truly believe that if you diligently apply these healing protocols, which I have learned, you will no longer be known as an MS victim’,” says Dr. Pepe.
Reader ReviewsThis book was not written for people who are sceptical about using alternative healing methods. Nor was it written for people who have little energy to spend on reading the work of an egotist. Don't misunderstand me! I am very much a believer in natural healing methods. When I have been vigilant about using CAM (complementray and alternative medicine) I have kicked this MS into remission. I admitedly slacked off the holistic health proptocol and am suffering through a horrible relapse which has caused me to rely once again on my cane and a wheelchair for extended distances. I bought this book to help get me motivated and back on track (ALTERNATIVE METHODS ARE TIME CONSUMING, ARDUOUS, EXPENSIVE AND EXHAUSTING... She forgets to mention that). I was sent into sheer dissapointed with "DR" Pepe. She seems to have a huge ego. The greater part of the book served as a major opportunity to massage that ego ... and/or provide some major self-psychotherapy, rather than focusing on providing a service to the reader. Only a fraction of the pages gave actual information that is helpful. I didn't purchase the book to read about her humiliating MSers in wheelchairs by doing spins on her high heels during her presentations to the NMSS. In spite of the nauseating ego stuff, what was MOST disturbing is the fact that she is credentialed as both a Naturapath (ND) AND Chiropractor (DC), yet her clinical/nutritional knowledge base and patient-doctor communication skills were DEPLORABLE. When I purchased her book, I was shocked to realize how little she knew ... making it a waste of money, time and hope (the title is really catchy and instills false hope). If you are a complete novice to alternative health care and management for MS, and don't mind weeding through 450 pages of whining and arrogant narrative, then go for it! You don't have anything to lose. If you want a book with more sophisticated content - don't bother! For beginners I would recommend a wonderful litttle book entitiled Multiple Sclerosis - The Natural Way by Richard Thomas. It offers a lot of great info and is to the point! Judy Graham is also worth reading. The Swank diet is essential .... and surf the internet! The web is packed with lots of wonderful info (but don't sit in front of the computer for too long without stretchig your legs! God bless you all (a little faith doesn't hurt iether) ;-)
