Tietze's Syndrome Breakthrough Paperback – September 12, 2011

This self-published project is a reminder of why good publishers remain important. The author has no listed credentials, the formatting is amateurish, and the text needs editing. In fact, there is very little text, none of it contains new information, and some information strikes me as not entirely accurate. The bulk of the book is a list of alternative medical practitioners, also sloppily formatted and difficult to browse. In short, this was a waste of money.

The book has a very few pages about Tietze"s Syndrome, stuff you can easily find on line. It actually has 24 pages, but it repeats itself a lot and it tells you what you already know if you have the pain. After that it gives you "216" pages of doctors who deal with the disease. Of course they try to get at least one from each state but my state of New Hampshire is not mentioned.Really do not waste your money on it. I am also real surprised that Amazon would even carry it.

This book is not worth the $20+ price tag or even the one star I had to give it. I wish I would have read the reviews more throughly as it would have saved me the time invested in returning it. Obviously, this is a self published, self edited book done purely to take advantage of someone seeking information on Tietze's Syndrome. The book contains several spelling and grammer errors. How Ms. Atkins can use the word "Breakthrough" in the title is beyond me. The book contains 25 pages of basic information that more than once advises the reader to "Google" search for more information, followed by a 208 page "Appendix" of a "Complete Directory of Holistic Physicians Listed by State".

I will never buy another book without reading the reviews. How I wish I had. What a waste of money. 29 pages of noninfo then 200+pages of holistically doctors. Could have found that info myself without lining the pockets of this snake oil salesman.

This book is 242 pages, but only has 27 pages of information about Tietze Syndrome, the rest is filled with names and addresses of Holistic Physicians listed by States. Waste of money. Don't buy this book. The price should be around $3.99.

This book is a huge disappointment! 90% of the pages in the book are simply a compendium of doctors who are natural health doctors throughout the United States and the world. The beginning 20 pages of the book contain information that is easily accessible through a basic Internet search which would take 30 minutes

The text is only 23 pages long which is only a few pages more than the advertisement text on the author's website. The rest of the book (150+ pages) contains address lists (4 per page) of doctors in the U.S. who are familiar with the syndrome.

If I could give this less than a star, I would. This was a complete waste of time and money.The information on Tietze's Syndrome are lacking and not at all what I would have expected from this book. Searching the term on Wikipedia I found more information than in this book. The tips are merely mentioned. There is no extensive data or research to back up the suggestions the author makes. Other possible medical conditions are merely mentioned, which would cause a medically unknowing reader to panic and start writing their will. If life-threatening things that can be mistaken for Tietze's are being mentioned, it is necessary to give more information on symptoms and diagnosis to not lead a reader straight into a panic attack.This book lacks research and a scientific approach and can in my opinion do more harm than help.And what is even better...the 207 pages that I was hoping are full of information, well 75% of them are just addresses for medical practitioners in the US.
