Description

While COVID-19 has brought increased attention to chronic and complex illnesses, these conditions have impacted millions worldwide, long before the pandemic. COVID was not the first exposure to cause long-term disease and disability, nor will it be the last. In Invisible No More, Dr. Ilene Ruhoy aims to empower the long-term patients of chronic and complex diseases. She discusses her experience as a patient herself, and how that experience played a role in her evolution as a neurologist, toxicologist, and integrative physician to work with people across the globe in treating their chronic symptoms and disabling disease, all while amplifying their own voices. Dr. Ruhoy also offers a practical guide with sections on nutrition, breathing, supplements and more. With a focus on healing and empowerment, Invisible No More will answer patients' most pressing questions.
