5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent source for learning how to heal yourself!,
By Christine (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Endometriosis: Healing Through Nutrition (Paperback)
After reading this book I gained such clarity of understanding of this awful and painful disease. Any woman or teenager that suffers from Endo must read this book! The book teaches you first how the immune, reproductive, and digestive systems, all work together and depend on eachother and then how endometriosis disrupts (to put it mildly) their special balance. The book then walks you through how nutrition (through supplements and food) plays such an important role in maintaining our system's balance and in healing. We can heal ourselves! And through testimonials in the book, you will see how women have changed their lives. Whatever your goal may be, to be pain-free or to achieve and maintain a pregnancy, this book will help you. Because of this book, two weeks ago I have begun to change my diet and already I have noticed a difference. The information provided in this book is invaluable.

The best book I've read on the subject,
By Chris S. (Seattle, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Endometriosis: Healing Through Nutrition (Paperback)
I have been doing a lot of information hunting since my diagnosis of Stage IV Endometriosis. Of all the books (and other sources)I have read, this book is the most helpful and most logical. The authors explain how our bodies work, how everything within us is interrelated, and how what we put into our bodies effect that interrelation. Along with the extensive nutritional information, they also explain all the present treatment options available to us and how each one changes our body. I believe this is a very important book in helping us gain control of our lives again. (if the authors are reading this...Thank you)

An excellent reference for women with endometriosis.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Endometriosis: Healing Through Nutrition (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent reference for women with endo trying to heal through nutrition. The authors explain how the biochemical pathways and cellular functions are affected by the nutrients that we need. They also explain the how certain compunds in foods we eat can be harmful and adversely affect the normal cell function. There is a section in the end that explains each nutrient, and they even provide some recipes as a starting point for changing your diet.
