Product Description
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Fabry disease is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. ...

A little outdated and not very informative
This book is outdated since many of the links are wrong and there are new treatments approved since publishing. It also doesn't really talk that much about the disease itself. The Fabry's support webpage is much more informative than this book. I recommend you save your money. Perhaps when an update is published it will be worth it again.

Good Start, but left some things out
...The book identifies only government research and does not specifically identify industry researchers TKT & Genzyme.

The treatment section needs updated.TKT has produced and enzyme replacemnt therapy--Replagal and Genzyme has produced an enzyme replacement therapy--Fabrazyme.Both are approved by many European countries.Fabrazyme was approved in the US by the FDA on April 24, 2003. ... Read more
