This book "puts it all together". Serafina Corsello sums up in one book what I have spent a lifetime discovering. And that is, "Your body has been engineered to heal itself and to keep itself optimally healthy. It knows how to do it. Help it along." Serafina Corsello tells you just how you can do that.

I have tried her remedies for my particular ailments and they work! Thank you Serafina. There is so much packed into this book that I have read it four times and keep referring back to it. It is a great read. Serafina Corsello is on to something here.

This book is not just about turning back the clock (The Ageless Woman) or looking young all of your life, although Serafina Corsello states that it is one of the benefits of following her recommendations. She is 66 years old and looks 46. This book is about taking charge of your life, controlling your destiny, finding the power within you.

As I read through this beautifully designed book, it was as if the author was speaking directly to me. Despite the title, this book is most definitely not for women only. There is a tremendous amount to be learned by all of us, male or female. The connection between mind and body, which The Ageless Woman so eloquently makes, transcends gender. The medical and spiritual wisdom embodied in this book is the result of decades of intense clinical practice and personal interactions with countless patients. In this age of increasing globalization and seemingly endless possibilities for either destroying or restoring our health, Dr. Corsello wisely cautions to stop for a moment and ponder the paths that we have taken, for good health is truly more than just good nutrition. The importance of taking care of the mind, spirit, and body is emphasized throughout the book and it is in this balance that true harmony should be sought.

Balance and harmony. These words for me epitomize the philosophy of Dr. Corsello. She has devoted her much of her life's work to promoting wellness and generously giving others the benefit of her wisdom. This wisdom is available for all of us, if only we choose to take the time to read and listen. Dr. Corsello has succeeded in presenting complex thoughts and ideas in beautifully written and readily accessible prose. Her use of case histories is extremely effective in conveying to her readers the possibilities and joys of healthy living. Dr. Corsello is a genuine healer and a woman who practices what she preaches. She is full of optimism and life-affirming faith and these qualities come through clearly in The Ageless Woman.

I have struggled with various health issues for many years but not one doctor gave me logical answers as to why I was having them. Dr. Serafina Corsello's book draws many bridges over the gaps that mainstream medicine finds unfathomable. She gives you straight forward answers to concrete health problems. However, the books brilliancy is in its ability to show the connection between seemigly unrelated health issues and their resulting cummulative effect on what mainstream medicine defines as full blown illness. Weather you want to find advice for yourself or discover what kind of medicine possesses the power to heal this book is the most comprehensive introduction into the wonderful world of healing drawing from cutting edge medical discoveries, ancient understanding of wholeness and sheer joy of life.

I have read more than 100 books on health-care and the new, emerging, holistic medical paradigm and I have also written a few books on the same subject but I have never found a book that is clearer, truly holistic, and that zeros into what is truly essential than The Ageless Woman by Serafina Corsello, M.D.

This book provides an incredible wealth of theoretical information as well as practical applications that both the health-professional and the lay person can apply and benefit from.

Dr. Corsello has a real "gift" for writing and an "encyclopedic knowledge", both at the "horizontal ((quantitative, scientific) level and at the "vertical" (qualitative, intuitive) level. Thus I am convinced that this work and others that will come, together with her lectures, workshops, and courses will be able to help great many people, both at the national and at the international level, at a time when this type of knowledge is becoming increasingly more important and sought.

The new, emerging medicine will not only be scientific and spiritual but also pedagogical and moral, preventive and therapeutic; it will have to address itself to the whole of human nature and not only to some of its parts and will include the emotional-artistic dimension which has been greatly neglected.

In conclusion, The Ageless Woman is truly a pivotal book whose time has come and which I would greatly recommend to professional and lay persons.

My transaction with the seller of this book was smooth and satisfactory and the book was in the condition described.

I had read part of this book at a friend's house and decided I wanted to own it. There was nothing I didn't already know about it
and I have since then spent many hours learning from it and trying to apply it to my life style.

Like a different reviewer here on Amazon, I too have probably read over 100 books on nutrition, women's health, natural healing, anti-aging, etc. Such books are my passion and how this one escaped me for so many years is a mystery because it is hands-down the best, most comprehensive book on women's health I've EVER read. Even now, 6 years after its publication, I'm amazed at how ahead of her time Dr. Corsello was when she wrote this, and how true all of her advice still is. Following her advice, I've lost weight, gotten rid of my adult acne, and have much more energy than I've ever had. I'm helping other women in my family too - teeagers to post-menopausal. After finding a link to the book from Dr. Mark Hyman's website (author of Ultra-Metabolism, which is also a great book), I was disappointed to find that new copies are selling on Amazon for a staggering $100-$300. Copies are rare but even at over $100 the book is worth every penny. Highly recommended for those women who are already health savvy and who are looking for the details that tie the complete health and beauty picture together.
