Duncan, director of a "virutherapy" clinic in Wellington, New Zealand, argues for the practice of latency therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. He challenges traditional paradigms with the hypothesis that the cause and perpetuation of symptoms of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are rooted in the interplay between environment (exposure to toxins, diet, and other factors) and internal conditions (allergies and earlier viral infections). Abundant anecdotes appear in which the author's treatments proved successful.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
