Thank you. 😊

This book is available free and is yet a work in progress. I must confess I have some familiarity with the author.

Best wishes, Rexz

If something isn't blue, it can't be clicked.

Copy it and search. That usually finds what was posted. But I have updated the link so it converts to an active link..

Look up Dr Sara Gottfried she has Fb, Instagram website and she has new book out soon.

She’s linking trauma amongst other things that exacerbate or bring on autoimmune disorders.

My daughter is a Psychologist and she is looking into this for me.

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Book by Bessel van der Kolk

Is something I was told to read from more factual point.

~Interesting you quote this book CoeliacMum1 - I am 110 on a wait list at our local Library even though I am told they have 12 copies - very powerful book I'm told and recommended for trauma of any kind ~

[CoeliacMum1 in reply to Megams]

Its currently on Amazon under £12 eBay under £8 .

My daughter rates it as a good book.

I recently saw that Dr Gottfried recently join the dots on mental health and physical well being, of course can’t rule out the female swings in hormones contributing too… she’s a gynaecologist, hormone specialist…speaks a lot of sense… she also Hashimoto’s sufferer.

[Megams in reply to CoeliacMum1]

~She sounds most interesting - I should have stated it was 2nd author you quoted - The Body Keeps the Score or similar like - The Body Keeps the Memory? by Dr Bessel van der Kolk~

[Pawsedagain in reply to CoeliacMum1]

Thank you for all of that information.

[CoeliacMum1]

Yes I realise which book you was on about the other book isn’t out until 12th March …The Autoimmune cure.

Book

More about hypersensitivity illness than autoimmunity necessarily, although the two overlap, Micki Rose's 'Healing Plan, Recovery From Chronic Illness' - the book is not easy to find and expensive now but you can buy the updated version (Healing Plan) through her website. This is the link to her ACE and trauma page - can increase risk of autoimmunity by 70 % or more purehealthclinic.co.uk/heal... The book link is at the bottom of the page. Best wishes

A book I hope to read one day as my body's doing exactly that

[bookish in reply to Mixteca]

The reviews seem somewhat mixed! Think I'll stick with Micki.

[Mixteca in reply to bookish]

That is the nature of personal opinion and experience, reviews will always be mixed.

[bookish in reply to Mixteca]

I hope the book helps you when you get to it and that your reviews will be positive!

I suggest you have a look at posts (only a few) and replies by this member:

And, maybe, a look a the Headway HU forum:

No, not books, I know. But possibly they link to further information including books.
