Logical and supportive advice about healing, Jun 30 2008
By Laura - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reclaim Your Life - Your Guide to Aid Healing of Endometriosis (Paperback)
This book has been really helpful for me. I have been suffering for nearly 8 years and have given up on the drugs and pain meds as they make me feel much worse that the disease. I have been desperate to know what to do. I have had very little understanding from my family and the 3 doctors I have seen have no solutions apart from more surgery, which has only helped temporarily and I am worried about more scar tissue from more surgery.
I felt the only option left was to try natural treatments and started doing research and I bought this book to find out more.
There is a lot in here that I have not read before including a very interesting section on the immune system. The book is full of anecdotal stories about other women who have recovered from endo, or who have had successful pregnancies by using natural therapies, which has helped to give me some hope.
There is lots of advice about natural therapies, which is the main reason I bought the book, how to deal with pain using alternatives to pain meds, some of which I have tried with success. There is a section about diet that I have started to take on board and feel the difference. Also a section that covers the basics of standard medical treatment, but the author does say that this is not a medical book, but helpful to have it included as a reminder. I found reading the authors story of recovery very heart-warming and helpful.
I would recommend this book to other women who need a boost to help them take on this disease with the aim of reducing the symptoms and starting to heal both physically and emotionally. Great work.

Excellent supportive and inspirational book, Sep 19 2008

I have read most books that deal with natural treatments for endometriosis and this is by far the best one I have read. This book has been written in such a way that the author gives you a full understanding of how and why natural treatments will work. She explains that a lot of the problems associated with endometriosis stems from a stressed immune system and give loads of advice and tips of how to help boost your immune system. I have tried many of the self help tips and advice and I have definitely felt a great improvement in my health, a big reduction in my pain symptoms and improvments in my digestive problems.
This book has been a huge inspiration to me and has given me more confidence to continue to improve my own health because it includes stories of other women who have been able to rid themselves of this dreadful disease, as well as the authors own story of how she healed from endometriosis. An excellent book all round and I am very, very glad I found it and I would recommend it to any woman who has endometriosis.

Great Resource, April 27 2009

I found this book to be quite helpful. Especially if you have been battling endometriosis for a long period of time. This book will help you with questions that don't seem to be answered by your doctors.
