The Lupus Book: A Guide For Patients And Their Families
by Daniel J. Wallace
2005 Revised Edition
Lupus, a disease of the immune system, can be quite deadly, claiming
the lives of thousands of patients yearly. Dr. Daniel J. Wallace
is one of the world's leading authorities on this disorder, an eminent
clinician who has treated over 2000 lupus patients, the largest
such practice in America.
His The Lupus Book, originally published in 1995, immediately established
itself as the most readable and helpful book on the disease. Now
Dr. Wallace has once again completely revised The Lupus Book, incorporating
a wealth of new information.
This Third Edition discusses the newest breakthroughs in drug treatments
and alternative therapies as well as updated information on the
immune system--all laid out in user-friendly language that any patient
could understand.
Readers will discover new blood tests and new drugs introduced
since the last edition, an extensive table of herbs that can be
used for the disorder, and a large section on cognitive therapy
and biofeedback.
And as in past editions, the book provides absolutely lucid answers
to such questions as: What causes lupus? How and where is the body
affected? Can a woman with lupus have a baby? And how can one manage
this disease? There is also a glossary of terms and an appendix
of lupus resource materials compiled by the Lupus Foundation of
America.
Over a million Americans have lupus and some tens of thousands
of patients die every year from the disease. The Third Edition of
The Lupus Book offers these patients and their families a wealth
of reliable, up-to-date information that will help them manage the
disease and live a happier life. DT Endorsed by the Lupus Foundation
of America DT A portion of the proceeds goes to Lupus research.
