Every woman should have this book in her library. If you are tired and feel like you are pushing yourself to get through the day this book can literally be a life saver. Read this and be tested before you need to have a transfusion!!! Low iron levels are not just a small problem. This is especially vital to all vegetarians and those who avoid red meat. Dr. Gomez has written a terrific book full of helpful information for the entire family. She covers anemia in all it's various forms, anemia in children, teens and adults. Anemia is sometimes mistaken for senile dementia in the elderly. Left untreated it can lead to infertility, fainting and mental confusion in women of any age. In a busy life it isn't always easy to stay on top of all we need to and this is one issue that you do not want to let slip by untreated. Live long and prosper!!!

Have not read book in it's entirety, but found just the excerpt was insightful. The book gives examples/case studies which provide some of the possible side-effects of anemia not offered in other books/sources, including physicians. Example: hair loss/thinning; brittle nails; odd cravings for ice and other things. Quite pleased so far, although sometimes a bit wordy with case studies. However, if you wish to learn/study more about the condition, again, this is a very candid, plain-written informative source.
