I'm just starting my journey of dealing with a large fibroid that is beginning to cause other problems, and am not at all open to the idea of hysterectomy. I know in my heart that that would just open the door to other (lifelong) issues, and I'm determined to exhaust the natural path before I go down the surgical/pharmaceutical one. It seems like common sense to me that many medical conditions can be healed naturally by bringing the body back into balance so that it can do what it was designed to do in the first place. That requires understanding how the body got out of balance to begin with. This book addresses all of these ideas head-on.
I knew this book was for me when near the front I read, "...a fibroid condition can become a life-enhancing opportunity." Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for -- a book that looks at the whole picture of health -- physically, emotionally, energetically -- and gives concrete ways, in all areas of your life, that you can start to take responsibility for your own healing and overall health. Again, I believe the word balance is the key. When it comes to the way the body functions, there are tipping points in both directions. Lots of little things you do can add up to bad health -- but it works in the other direction, too, where removing all those little things can tip the other way into good health.
The book starts with a layman's medical overview of how these types of gynecological problems arise in the first place. Then it moves into a thorough discourse on all the areas you can review in your own body and life, so that you can begin working to reduce fibroid aggravators and promote healing -- through diet, supplements, herbs, stretching, exercise, meditation, reducing stress, avoiding environmental toxins, etc. Dr. Warshowsky's writing style makes everything very easy to comprehend. I especially appreciated the "case studies" that are interspersed throughout the book, as they seem to cover all the various scenarios for all the different women out there suffering from fibroids -- young, old, fit/active, overweight/out of shape, single/no kids, married/mothers, extreme symptoms, mild symptoms.
It can be pretty overwhelming when things start to go wrong with your body, and it's definitely a shock to hear your doctor say, "it's time to start thinking about a hysterectomy." Something in you immediately starts to believe it right away, and before you know it, you're resigned to that being your only path. But the fact is, unless and until it's a medical emergency, there are many areas that you yourself can work on, little by little, to start swinging the balance back into your favor. Doctors do the best they can to guide you, given the information they have -- but they really only ever get a snapshot of what's really going on with you. You are the only one who actually lives your life day to day and knows your body best, and it really is a matter of being determined enough to accept the responsibility for your own health and start walking the path that's right for you.
Making changes to your diet is a good first step that you can take charge of right away. In my own case, even though I already had a really good diet (lots of organic foods, low-fat, etc.), I had the feeling that I was indulging in things that were causing a lot of general inflammation. My fibroid symptoms were such that I felt I had to take a big step right away, so I cut out many things at once -- sugar, coffee, gluten, dairy, meat, alcohol. I know that sounds drastic, but I figured I could do it for a month and see what happened. I focused on high-fiber foods, lots of fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, fish, eggs, etc. I also started taking various supplements -- boosting basic vitamins like B, C, D, E. This was all under the guidance of a doctor. Within a month I started feeling SO much better, which strengthened my determination to stay on this path. I then found this book and it has confirmed a lot of what my intuition was already telling me. It has been the perfect resource to now start taking further steps into the other areas where I can work to shift and keep the balance in my favor. This book will help you to take the reins on your own journey to good health!

About the author
Women's Healthy Body and Life Bible
I'm enjoying reading the book when I get time to settle in and do so. Packed with info but very redundant in a few places. I'd prefer when they discuss vitamins and minerals for each one to be discussed thoroughly instead of having to read about them in multiple places in the book multiple times. I like to read and move to the next important topic. I don't need "filler" info in expository readings or for it to be broken up to maintain my understanding.Along with Vits/minerals, healthy diet, herbs, it gives exercises (pics would be great here) and short stories. Additionally, spiritual and emotional strategies are provided. This book is pretty detailed, which I enjoy. It is a wonderful hollistic type of Women's Healthy Body Bible.I'm using all in the picture to help. I've cleaned my diet up mostly pretty well even before the book. The Vitamins & Minerals chart goes hand in hand with what the book expresses. The "Fibro Defense" Pills have the Mushrooms and more as the book expresses is great for helping to build a healthy uterus. Cramp Bark and more mentioned in the book are in the "Dherbs Tea". All of this is costs about, less than really, what the natural path products I purchased from natra-pathic physicians cost. It's also healthier for my body than the non-homeopathic medications I was prescribed that didn't help or helped (painfully) only temporarily and were quite expensive.
