5.0 out of 5 stars Most Doctors Don't Know What They're Doing!!!, September 20, 1999

This review is from: The Good News About Women's Hormones: Complete Information and Proven Solutions for the Most Common Hormonal Problems (Paperback)

I've been asking different types of doctors for years why I don't get my period and they all gave me different -- and unconcerned -- answers. It wasn't until discovering this book that I found out my menstrual problems were actually related to my diet-like eating habits! I was eventually diagnosised with polycystic ovary syndrome, but even the doctor that diagnosed me didn't know how to treat it. When I mentioned the information in Dr. Redmond's book, her and her nurses thought I was crazy! If it hadn't been for this book, I would still be relying on the doctors I've met (which are,unfortunately, mere humans) and their outdated ways of treatment. It's unfortunate that patients often have to research their own problems, but if you must, this book is the perfect guide to women's hormones -- the science of what's going on in there, but written for the average Jane. I've already purchased three more copies to send anonomously to my previous misguided doctors!!!

This book saved my life. I live in Omaha, NE, which boasts an impressive medical community, but I can't tell you home many doctors I saw that did not know the information in this book! If you are having ANY type of hormonal disorders, including unusual menstrual cycles, severe PMS symptoms (including depression), hair loss, excessive facial hair, excessive acne, get yourself this book and get yourself to an ENDOCRINOLOGIST, NOT an obgyn, dermatologist, or psychologist. Do NOT let a doctor put you on "the pill" for your symptoms; that will only fix the symptoms, not the underlying problem! In many cases, the pill will only make your problem worse and possibly affect later abilities to conceive. This book will explain it all.

This book is well written for a lay-person to read, but keep your medical dictionary handy. DON'T let any doctor that is unwilling to hear what you have to say from reading this book treat you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Grandfather of ALL other PCOS/Woman Hormone Books, October 11, 2000

This review is from: The Good News About Women's Hormones: Complete Information and Proven Solutions for the Most Common Hormonal Problems (Paperback)

This book was printed in 1995 and I only wish I'd found it then!! Every OB/GYN should have this in their wating room as well as on their night stand. I learned so much from this book. It is organized well to find exactly what you want to know and is written so that a layperson can understand it. A very informative read as well as a great reference book. The Book "Androgen Disorders in Women" (Cheung) sites this book numerous times. "Androgen" is a good start to get your feet wet and then "Good News" takes it even further. A Must read for ANY woman who has concerns about her health!!
