Lupus by Sharon Moore
A comprehensive guide to noninvasive, nontoxic therapies for lupus--written by a lupus survivor.* The only book to focus on alternative therapies for lupus.
* Includes therapeutic approaches drawn from the fields of naturopathic medicine, nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nontoxic dentistry, energy medicine, and psychological healing.
* Lupus affects more than four million Americans and does not respond well to conventional treatments.
More than four million Americans (90 percent of them women) have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic, debilitating disease of the autoimmune system that manifests itself with extreme fatigue, arthritic pain, rashes, and a host of other symptoms. Add to that the fact that lupus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and the number of potential sufferers grows. Sharon Moore lived with lupus for several years before doctors finally put a name to it. The only therapies offered to her were pharmaceuticals--toxic drugs that could control or suppress some of her symptoms but couldn't cure her disease. Dissatisfied with this approach, she set about researching alternative treatments for her condition. Nine years later her health is greatly improved, and she has written this book to share the most effective natural healing techniques with other lupus sufferers.
Chock full of specific, scientific, well-documented evidence on effective alternative treatments, this book is a godsend for anyone suffering from lupus. Moore provides a comprehensive diagnostic checklist and helps readers identify the possible causes of their illness, from environmental toxins and dental amalgam fillings to compromised liver function and poor nutrition. She offers ways to nurture the mind and spirit when living with chronic disease and shows readers how they can rebuild their lives. Equally important, she writes with the understanding of someone who's been there.
Raised in Stourbridge, Sharon attended King Edward VI Sixth Form College. She gained her Honours Degree in Law at Liverpool University and her Solicitors' Finals at Lancaster Gate Law College, London. After two years training, she qualified as a solicitor and joined a busy medium-sized practice in Birmingham in 1991 following two years of extensive travel abroad. During her last ten years in practice she was a partner heading the Matrimonial Department, a regular advocate in the County Court and throughout her career family law predominated.
Over that time she assisted the local Citizens Advice Bureaus and staunchly supported the provision of Legal Aid (now Public Funding). She held specialist qualifications with both The Law Society and The Solicitors Family Law Association and was responsible for training several of her colleagues.'The Unconventional Sharon Moore' was how the editor of a magazine profile described her. Perhaps this was not a hard reputation to earn within the legal world's confines. The accompanying photo showed a besuited woman standing against her motorbike (as the senior partner felt it inappropriate for her to be sitting astride it!)
She has lectured, spoken on local and national radio and written for relevant publications about family law. This is her first book and one which she has increasingly felt compelled to write.
For the last two years Sharon has relinquished her career to write this book and travel again. She is currently working on her second book 'My Fairy Tale'.
