Patricia Stephens was totally disabled by an incurable condition, fibromyalgia, for many years, before finding a medical breakthrough which started her on a path to restored health. In 1998 she launched a website to share her success and show a connection between fibromyalgia and AD/HD-www.addfibro.com (new address is www.reversingchronicdisease.com)-which attracted over a million hits, within the first few years, from around the world. After regaining her health, Patricia's passion has been to help others reclaim theirs.

Over time, Patricia successfully replaced her conventional medications with natural therapies. The lessons she learned from her own journey, research, and working with clients, have inspired the book.
