Editorial Review:
The Endometriosis Sourcebook is "the definitive guide to current treatment options, the latest research, common myths about the disease, and coping strategies" compiled by the Endometriosis Association and its president, Mary Lou Ballweg. Ballweg lived with the disease for years, struggled through treatments and surgeries, was lucky enough to give birth to a "miracle baby," was bedridden for months at a time, and underwent a hysterectomy after all other treatment options were exhausted. She's therefore quite sympathetic toward fellow endo patients.
This all-inclusive book collects comparisons of different laser treatments; discusses the little-known connections between endo and autoimmune and thyroid problems, as well as diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome; covers new research directions; examines the effectiveness of Chinese medicine; shares letters from hundreds of women detailing their experiences; and much more. Perhaps most importantly, Ballweg strives to communicate how serious a disease endometriosis can be: If there were millions of [men] out there, young men whose dreams were in danger of being destroyed by a disease, whose ability to function sexually was at risk, whose fertility was at risk, whose ability to build a satisfying work life and carry out normal activities of living was at risk, and who even would face the threat of castration, no one would dare say it was unimportant. --Jhana Bach
The Endometriosis Sourcebook is the definitive resource for the millions of sufferers urgently seeking up-to-date, authoritative information. It covers everything women need to know, including the latest research, treatments, nutrition and advice.

The Endometriosis Sourcebook is a valuable resource on the subject of endometriosis, providing education about the illness as well as treatment options, while offering insight on coping skills. In addition, anyone who has suffered in excruciating pain will thoroughly enjoy the insert in the book written by Kevin Cowherd: "He suffers from excruciating discomfort."
Mary Lou Ballweg has compiled every ounce of information she could find and placed it into the pages of this book in an effort ... Read More
Rating: - A lot of good info
I was just diagnosed with severe endo. This was the first book I got that had to do with the subject. It was pretty informative and I learned a lot. The cartoons were really funny too. This book is at least a good starter book for people who were just diagnosed.
Rating: - Not What I Had in Mind
I agree with the reviewers who mention the "company line" behind this book. I personally was looking for something that would help me figure out what to do on a personal level to assist my body in fighting endo, but this was more of a conventional medicine read, and hard to get through at that. I recommend "Endometriosis - A Key to Healing with Nutrition", if this is what you're looking for. Did enjoy the cartoons, though!
