Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 I have the book. It depends on how much you care to know about the state of CMT science. The focus of the meeting that engendered the book was to get the world's CMT investigators together to compare notes. There is not much that is " patient-freindly " in this since it was written for other scientists to critique and learn. Unless you REALLY want to dig into the DNA and biophysics of CMT and nerve function, spend your $150 on something that can help you today, like AFOs or good shoes.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 Hi Vince and the Group, First of all, let me say to you , Vince , that I appreciate your professional comments and it is necessary to have professional (scientific) commentary along with the common knowledge venue. As a lifelong aerospace development engineer, I recognize that the world is severely lacking in complete definitions of problems. If it were complete, making solutions would be duck soup. So we have to live our lives with a great deal of intuition to make the decisions regarding our well being. There's nothing wrong with that nor is it unfair. It just means we have to use that training so many teachers tried to instill in our minds over the years. Yearning for anything less arduous is just being lazy which brings me to your comment on the $150 book. A non-medical professional could very well dig into it and enlighten us all from time to time. It will take more will and work to do so than the average person posseses. I hope somebody out there does this as the old saw about woods and trees still holds forth in our modern world. Abe Lincoln did it in the law business and came up with the Emacipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address - not bad work for a smart country boy ! - EdM -----Original Message----- From: Bertolino, Vince <vbertolino@...> egroups <egroups> Date: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 8:57 AM Subject: RE: [] CMT Book >I have the book.
