Great review book for shelf
I used this book to study for my neurology shelf exam.I thought this was a great review overall.I have not always been a huge fan of pretest, but I thought that the neuro pretest tested the right material with the right amount of repetition and also didn't include the minutia that some of the other pretest books do. I think that this book is a must have for anyone on neurology.

Great book!
One of the better in the pre-test series.The answer explanations are a little more succint than others in the series but are still complete.

pre test neurology
in my opinion this product is not satifactory because is much superficialy. if you have a product in video, please tell me.

thank you Silvana

A comprehensive review
I think this book is great for USMLE Step 2 CK.
It gives you an exposure to a wide variety of neurological diseases, from horses to zebras.
If you want a great score in USMLE Step 2 CK, I think this book will be very helpful to build a solid body of knowledge in Neurology.
The new edition has many improved clinical vignettes and some new radiological images.
In summary, this is a great book! ... Read more

Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A738513. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis analyzes the diagnostic domain and isolates the heuristics employed by experts to arrive at diagnostic solutions. These heuristic methods are then generalized in order to arrive at a series of heuristic rules that can be applied to a wide range of diagnostic processes independent of there respective domain. To test the validity of the generalized heuristics, a prototype expert system was created targeting the heuristics employed by avionics repair technicians in repair of the APS-115 radar system on the P-3C Orion. ...

Love it but it didn't help.
I have neuropathy as the result of an accident. I followed this regimen for six months and noticed no difference.

Helpful suggestions
I have peripheral neuropathy in both feet due to back injuries. I can't take Neurontin (or some other meds) so was especially interested in supplements. After reading this (and doing some online research), I asked my neurologist about alpha lipoic acid. She gave me the go ahead, telling me that if I lived in most European countries, my doctor would have suggested it. (And that it couldn't do any harm.) It's gotten rid of the burning.

The book is clear and offers a balanced view: what works for some doesn't work for all. And Sennett is up front about that and the fact that he's not a doctor. Appreciated.

Mostly quite good, except...
Most nutrients he mentions will help most people with PN. But there is one to beware of. Alpha lipoic acid is actually a great antioxidant and has been shown to be helpful in short term studies for PN pain. The problem is that if you have heavy metal toxicity (mercury) you need to be very very careful. ALA can definitely cross the blood brain barrier, and it can also bind to mercury, i.e., it is a chelator. If there is a lot of mercury in your body, as from mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth that are constantly releasing mercury, ALA can take more of it into your brain, and will likely bring on worsening of symptoms.To prevent this, it needs to be dosed on the chemical half life (which is 3 to 4 hours), and started at low doses. It typically doesn't make you worse until several months of use, (and this is why short term studies don't pick it up)thus it is difficult to make the connection. It happened to me, and it took me a long time to figure things out.

Nutrients for Neuropathy
Good, but a bit too technical for the average layman (I am an R.N.)

Good Reference
This is an excellent book. The author,who has neuropathy, puts together a good listing of clinical trials involving vitamins and minerals, mostly in Europe and Asia. He successfully tries to be objective - he is not a medical person, and does not pretend to be one. Listing of clinical trial results does not take a medically trained person and so this doesn't bother me. Towards the end he does list a couple of vitamin and mineral programs that he put together as recommendations. Again, these are based on the clinical trial results. ... Read more
