Don't Bother!
Don't waste your money on this. This product is an insult to the intelligence.I have empty sella, and so I ordered it, thinking "great, someone finally did a book."It's not a book, per se, but a pamphlet cribbed from a lot of very generalized sources that are also freely available on the web.If you can get access to INdex Medicus or PubMed, you can get more there.There is a load of "filler" in this, including pages on generalized health insurance, and "nutrition" without any specific references to empty sella.It looks like this is part of a series of pamphlets being marketed as books, and all contain the same general info, but they substitute phrases.The same sentences occur in the other pamphlets, like, "Be sure to discuss nutritional aspects of EMPTY SELLA with your primary caregiver" and all the obvious no-brainer advice that you get on many web sites.Only a cretin would be impressed with this "book." ...
