Dr. Dillard continually hits the nail on the head with the inforamtion he shares with his readers. This is the first book that I've read that really describes pain and how it works so that you can understand the process and how it may be interrupted and/or stopped for good.
His advice in evaluating practitioners is very useful as well as information on diet and supplements that are most effective for different kinds of pain.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone who suffers from chronic pain or anyone who has a loved one and wants to understand better how they may assist them.
Contrary to the first book review I read, it does not claim to resolve all pain issues but it gives you guidelines to pursue that may help. Most importantly for me, it gave me avenues that I had not thought of prior to that point: accupuncture, mind-body techniques, chiropratic treatments were all new to me. Until I read this book, I had always thought doctors hated those types of practitioners. Dr. Dillard showed me otherwise.
This book is a winner!
