About the Author

Having trained and qualified in the U.K., Dr. Elisabeth Dancey spent several years as a G.P. in Belgium, where her practice was biased towards dietary and nutritional methods of treatment. During this time she was able to embrace further medical techniques such as mesotherapy, oligotherapy and phytotherapy (the use of plant products in the treatment of disease), not routinely available in the U.K.

She now runs a clinic in London specializing in the treatment of varous medical and aesthetic conditions. The majority of her time is occupied treating cellulite, which she does successfully by recommending the self-help measures described in this book coupled with Mesotherapy, a micro-injection technique first described in France in 1958 by Dr. Michel Pistor, for more difficult cases and speedier results.

She certainly practices what she preaches-- she exercises regularly, dances, eats a well-balanced diet and ensures that her body is in as good a shape as possible. She can thank her upbringing for regarding food, exercise and fresh air as an essential prescription for a healthy life.

5.0 out of 5 stars informative and empowering, December 29, 2002

By A Customer

Admittedly this book took me three months to finish reading, the reason being that it is packed full of detailed, very well researched information about cellulite and its physical context. After reading this you will not only know the causes and remedies of cellulite - you will also have a vastly increased understanding about nutrition, blood circulation, hormonal balance, etc. Dancey is thorough but writes simply, frankly and encouragingly without becoming condescending. I can't imagine a better book about this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Solution!, December 20, 1999

By	Sally (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

I was very impressed with this book. What surprised me was the way Dr. Dancey talked about releasing fat from the lower body while maintaining the upper body proportions, specifically your bra size! All too often women who lose weight lose it in their bust and then very gradually over the lower part of their body. She recommends a sound diet, food combining, exercise program and cellulite creams, aromotherapy, etc.

I haven't bought this book because it's $80.00!! Why is a paperback book of less than 300 pages 80 bucks?!
