5.0 out of 5 stars Women's Bodies, Women's Choices, November 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Women's Bodies, Women's Choices (Audio Cassette)

I recently had an oophorectomy and my gynecologist and acupuncturist recommended I read this book before surgery. I had problems with ovarian cysts before, so I knew what to expect with this surgery. When I received this book and opened it automatically to page 217 - Ovarian Cysts, my heart stopped. Dr. Northrup was writing about me, my left ovary, stress, and creative block. I read the page 3 times to make sure I didn't write it myself. I recently purchased this book for a close friend who is having fertility problems. She cried because Dr. Northrup described her situation perfectly. As a senior editor of federal medical information, I HIGHLY recommend this book for yourself, relative, or friend. You see yourself on several pages, with each page presenting thoughtful, intelligent, and practical advice and guidelines on, not only western medicine, but holistic/alternative medicine. As a 12-year patient of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I recognized Dr. Northrup's acceptance and pursuit of the added value of other-than-western-medicine alternatives for health and balance in a hectic life. Dr. Northrup speaks with you, not at you. She offers qualified, sensible care treatments that we can and should practice everyday, most without added effort. If you do anything for yourself, purchase this book. You will cherish it because you deserve the information she shares.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be part of every woman's research on full living, August 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Women's Bodies, Women's Choices [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this program, most of it, on PBS on a local station. It was fascinating, and the fact that Christiane Northrup is an MD adds to the "both sides" context -- woman and doctor. She really informs us that men and women have much to offer to their own physical health, before or without doctors, depending on the various needs. (Obviously, she does not advise we remove our own appendix or let a sick appendix get only watchful waiting!) I hope the video will be available in future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific video tape. One that every woman should view., December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Women's Bodies, Women's Choices [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Women's Bodies, Women's Choices really looks at four areas of women's health: heart disease, breast care, menopause and the menstrual cycle. Dr. Northrup outlines many of the choices women are faced with as they work with their healthcare professional to achieve better health. Dr. Northrup makes the material fun and most importantly understandable. She really helps one understand the true mind-body connection. We need more from her!
