Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'The diagnosis of compulsive water drinking must be made with care and may represent our ignorance of yet undescribed pathophysiological mechanisms.' - Prof. Daniel Bichet, University of Montreal, 2017.Primary Polydipsia is currently considered to involve the over-drinking of fluids in the absence of any physiological need and usually, therefore, as a result of mental illness. This book argues that this current conception is the product of a catastrophic Freudian error. Indeed, the idea of "psychogenic water drinking" was first formulated by psychiatrists who attributed the condition variously to conversion disorders, delusional hypochondriasis, female hysteria, not having enough sex, troubled childhoods and other similar ideas of a Freudian nature. Worse is that this early psychological bias also informed the central physiological assumptions and diagnostic procedures regarding the condition, both of which have remained unchallenged to this day.In this book, Patrick Ussher exposes the Freudian origins of Primary Polydipsia but also proposes a new, and very real, kind of polydipsia which can replace so-called "psychogenic water drinking" and explain its typical clinical presentation in physiological terms. Termed 'Hypovolemic Dehydration', this polydipsia is driven by an endogenously created and maintained state of low blood volume. Indeed, there exists a range of hypovolemic illnesses, in particular Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Long Covid, in which patients routinely suffer from excessive thirst. In all of these illnesses, a downregulation of blood-retention hormones can lead to an ongoing state of low blood volume, often involving a shortfall of around one litre of blood. As a result, the hypovolemic thirst centre activates but, unlike the osmotic thirst centre, this requires appropriately concentrated fluids in order to be quenched. The patient, unaware of the real reason for their thirst, understandably just drinks pure water and thereby enters a vicious cycle of never-ending thirst and urination. Is it patients with hypovolemic illnesses who have always been historically misdiagnosed as "psychogenic water drinkers"?The tendency of medicine to suggest that symptoms it does not yet understand are psychosomatic has a long history and one that rarely ages well: Parkinson's, MS and ME patients, among others, have all had to face this kind of stigma. This book argues that patients with so-called "Primary Polydipsia" fall into the same category. These patients are not mentally ill. Rather, their bodies scream with a thirst that is very real and which carries a serious risk of neurological injury and fatality. This book is therefore a clarion call for doctors and medical researchers to return to the drawing board and to reconsider Primary Polydipsia with fresh eyes so that the very sick can, at last, be treated effectively and compassionately by the doctors to whom they turn for help.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Has the mystery of ME/CFS finally been solved?For decades, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has remained a medical enigma-misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and often dismissed. But breakthrough research might finally be changing that.In this accessible and hopeful guide, ME/CFS patient Patrick Ussher distills the groundbreaking work of Professors Klaus Wirth and Carmen Scheibenbogen, who have proposed a compelling unifying model of ME/CFS. This new understanding brings together multiple dysfunctions-low blood volume, microclots, mitochondrial damage, autoimmunity, and more-into one interconnected cycle. It may, at last, explain why so many suffer from post-exertional malaise, brain fog, and relentless fatigue.More than just theory, this book offers practical healing strategies: Breathing techniques like the Buteyko MethodAncestral nutrition and gut repairMicroclot treatment optionsThe Perrin techniquePromising future medications-especially the new 'Mitodicure' pill, which could become the first drug specifically for ME/CFSPatrick also shares his own story of living with ME/CFS and what has helped him most-physically and emotionally. His goal is simple: to empower fellow patients with knowledge, practical tools, and renewed hope.Whether you have ME/CFS or Long Covid, this book will help you understand your illness-and imagine a life beyond it.Includes a foreword by Prof. Klaus Wirth who is developing the 'Mitodicure' pill. Exploring the latest breakthrough research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid and sharing both conventional and alternative treatments to improve quality of life. Includes a Foreword by a Professor behind that research. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. If you live with relentless exhaustion, post-exertional malaise (PEM), brain fog, or "normal" test results that explain nothing, this book will finally help you understand what's really going on.Millions with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and post-viral fatigue are told their symptoms are a mystery. But emerging research may at last reveal the underlying mechanisms - and offer a path toward meaningful improvement.In this clear, direct, and deeply hopeful guide, ME/CFS patient Patrick Ussher explains the breakthrough model proposed by Professors Klaus Wirth and Carmen Scheibenbogen. Their work brings together the major abnormalities seen in ME/CFS - low blood volume, microclots, autonomic dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, autoimmunity, and more - into one interconnected cycle. It may finally explain why activity triggers PEM, why rest doesn't restore energy, and why so many develop chronic fatigue after a viral illness.This book goes far beyond theory. It offers practical tools, science-based insights, and real-world strategies that patients use to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.Inside, you'll learn about: Breathing techniques to improve oxygenationAncestral nutrition and gut repairMicroclot-oriented treatment approachesBlood-washing procedures (HELP Apheresis & Immunoadsorption)The Perrin TechniqueThe strengths and limits of neuroplasticity ("brain retraining")Pacing, PEM management, and mitochondrial supportThe promising potential "Mitodicure" medication - the first drug candidate in development specifically for ME/CFSPatrick also shares his own ME/CFS journey with honesty and clarity: what has helped him, what has not, and how he learned to navigate a misunderstood illness with both realism and hope.If you live with: ME/CFSLong Covidpost-viral fatiguedysautonomia / POTSunexplained fatigue with normal blood tests.this book will give you a clear framework for understanding your symptoms and practical strategies that may help you feel better.Straightforward.
