In the United States, over 40 million people suffer from migraine headaches, 15 million suffer from fibromyalgia, and 35 million suffer from dizziness. Add another 25 million chronic pain sufferers and that totals over 100 million people who are suffering from chronic health conditions.
A new book written by Dr. Michael L. Johnson offers hope. The book What Do You Do When the Medications Don’t Work? – A Non-Drug Treatment of Dizziness, Fibromyalgia, Migraine Headaches, and Other Chronic Conditions will help prevent millions from suffering needlessly. Vioxx has been banned and millions of patients are concerned with the safety of such drugs as Celebrex, Bextra, and Naproxen (Aleve). Dr. Johnson's book shows patients how to get well without medications.
Dr. Johnson wrote the book to highlight non-drug treatments of dizziness, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and other chronic conditions. “We’ve become a nation that is dependent on prescription medications,” says Johnson. “These medications are expensive and now, in many cases, dangerous. My book tells people how they can get well without drugs.”
Dr. Johnson's book is the culmination of years of research, including twenty-one years of clinical practice treating chronic conditions and over 3800 hours in post-doctorate education. He has taken a different approach in this book. He gives readers tool that they can use to self-diagnose and treat problems that have not responded to traditional treatment or drugs.
Reams of patient testimony attest to the effectiveness of his approaches to these chronic conditions. “Everyday I see results on patients who were told that their problems are incurable,” said Johnson. “The medical community knows of these treatment protocols, but for some reason refuses to utilize them. Some of these conditions are very difficult to treat, but you have to keep searching for the key for the individual patient. Too many doctors treat patients like a number and give the same treatment to everyone.”
Dr. Johnson’s book takes an “above-down” approach, looking at ways to “re-wire” the brain and response patterns. Utilizing techniques from a relatively new field called Chiropractic Neurology, the book walks people through effective therapies they can do at home and ways to self-test for problems.
