Interesting Information, BUT
While the information contained in this book is worthy of attention.I can't help feeling that I might been able to find all of this information for free on the web.It is more like a pamphlet than a book.

Delicious and no surgery!
Without having the ordeal and uncertainty of surgery I was able to get back to my woodworking and painting after the pain and numbness in my hands had stopped me.And the recipes are healthy and delicious to boot!Thank you!

The Pain goes Away!

Very little information
This slim volume (less than 100 pages of real content, and printed in a large font size and with lots of white space) provides very general information on RSIs.The information is neither complete nor authoritatitve.The chapter on treatment, for example, just lists the things you can go to a doctor for, and has a few paragraphs on alternative procedures such as acupuncture.BTW, using yoga to treat RSI is probably the dumbest idea I've heard, myself being a former yoga practioner.Imagine supporting your weight upside down on your injured wrists!Avoid this book. ...
