One-Stop Problem Solving...Naturally
With the increased popularity of natural remedies, more and more women are looking for clear, authoritative information on how to use these applications for specific health problems. What will help severe allergies? How do the major hormonal events in a woman's life -- from puberty to post-menopause -- affect symptoms and treatments? What's the real story on hormone-replacement therapies? Do birth-control pills increase the risk of breast cancer or not?
In this one-stop reference, D. Lindsey Berkson provides clear explanations and natural solutions. Organized in a straightforward A-Z format and covering more than 200 health conditions with advice focused entirely on women's distinctive needs, entries include discussions of:
anorexia • arthritis • cancer
heart disease • hormone-replacement therapy • insomnia
lupus • menopause • pregnancy
STDs • stress • thyroid problems
Each entry provides an explanation of the condition, lists common and uncommon symptoms, notes likely causes, and includes a section of uniquely female concerns highlighting the role of hormones. Sensible health-promoting strategies are spelled out: which foods to eat, which foods to avoid, which dietary supplements to take, and which exercises to do, as well as how meditation and visualization can help. Each section includes complementary medicine tests to discuss with your doctor.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Helpful book
Overall, this book is great. The author is a very knowledgable, articulate advocate for women's health (provided by natural, healthy lifestyle choices).
My only complaint is that the book needs an index. The book is organized by specific health issues. Often, information overlaps or is inter-related among various issues. There needs to be an easy way to find the references throughout the book for specific topics or areas of interest.
Rating: - USE ME WELL
In the midst of too much confusing information, often paid for sereptisiously by the drug companies, here is a delightfully readable and authoratative book you can use and trust. I highly recommend it to my female patients. Dr Berksons research and expertise are present on every page and will not only help simplify your confusing health decisions, she also guides you to make powerful, tried and true choices. A great handbook for women of all ages.
Rating: - A great help!
Finally! A book that treats my health problems in a sane way and takes into account my crazy hormones. I'm so grateful to the author for her practical wisdom. I gave a copy to my mother and told all my friends about it. It should be in every woman's home.
