Do you ever look at the skin of oriental women and wonder how they remain so beautiful as they age? Dr. Mao shares their secrets of everlasting beauty with us in this wonderful book. He tells us how to possess increased sexual energy and vitality, control appetite and weight, calm hot flashes, reduce wrinkles and spots, lift our moods and our faces, strengthen our bones, and improve our memory. And best of all, he tells us how to achieve this without drugs, hormone replacement, or invasive surgery.

One of my friends is on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), which Dr. Mao tells us has been proven to increase our risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots after only four years. This friend is also at risk for breast cancer due to family history. Convincing her to stop this treatment is next to impossible. Her doctor recommended it; therefore she has to stay the course.

Hopefully, the rest of us will not be as stubborn. Every medicine has a side effect. For years I took theophylline for asthma, until I developed pre-hypertension and read about its major side effect . . . hypertension. I quit taking theophylline, changed doctors, and have only wheezed a couple times in eight years when afflicted with a cold.

We can make huge improvements in our health and beauty simply through lifestyle changes, diet, and mental outlook. Dr. Mao tells us step by step how to make these changes. Have a skin disorder? Here's an interesting Dr. Mao cure: Sun therapy can be used to treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis. By exposing the skin to 20 minutes of sun (15 minutes for the face) before 10 am and after 3 pm, we can see results in two to four weeks.

Over 35 and female? This book's for you. Buy it, read it, apply it, and you will begin to see improvements to your physical and inner beauty in a few short weeks.

Normally I make my husband, Steve, read books like this. Doesn't that sound horrible? Most of these types of books are tedious and I do want to live a healthier life. Since Steve does so well with mindless facts, I have him summarized the books and tell me what I need to do.

SECOND SPRING is nothing like that. The format or layout reminds me of those cool daily medication books. Each topic is only a page and in some cases, a page and a half long. Not only is it quickly and easy, but the information is interesting. I found myself able to retain the information also.

Although the book can be used for women of all ages, it does target the menopausal women and older. The book was inspired by the author's mother as he watched her going through her middle years. The book's techniques are to help women experiencing low energy and that menopausal brain fog. Dr. Mao's simple program uses natural techniques from traditional Chinese medicine to enhance not only energy, but health and sexuality.

I found the information in this book very re-assuring and helpful for women experiencing perimenapause. I am living a more natural lifestyle and this book came at a perfect time.

Good persective on a different approach for the aging woman. Categorized and every page offers a new idea. Quick and easy to read. Effective and recommended.

I have long wondered if there was a better way --- Dr. Mao has it. I am "in the change" and I choose Second Spring.

I have enjoyed Dr. Mao's book very much and have started implementing some of his suggestions. How wonderful to work with natural ways
that the body can immediately benefit instead of drugs, surgery and psychiatry.

I am using some of the suggestions in the book and they work. I intend you use this book as my health bible. You will be healthier looking and feeling heeding this book.

This is very interesting book with little short remedies suggested.
I keep it at my bedside and read a little before going to sleep.
Eventually I will pass this book on to a friend.

This is an excellent book that will help a woman walk through menopause. It seemed impossible to me to do everything in the book, but I did start to do some of the things and add more all the time. I keep it on my bedside table and refer to it often.

From the very beginning of this book, I found it extremely easy to understand. The information in this book brought new light to being a woman of middle age. I cannot wait to try just about every remedy in this book to see if what was suggested truly does work for whatever ailment I might have. Whether it be laugh lines that I want to diminish the appearance of or how to gain back the energy I once had when I was younger. This book is my new companion!
