gets the root of it all, May 13 2004
I have read several books on fibroids, and this one is the only one that goes into considerable depth about the holistic reasons - not just the medical reasons - as to why fibroids start, exist and grow. Dr Christianne Northop's "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" has an excellent section on fibroids as well, but it is only a short section in her book. Warshowsky takes the same holistic approach as she does, but of course his book goes into everything in much greater detail. He gives many examples of real patients he's treated with success but at the same time is realistic about the amount of work it involves, and the no-promises success quota. What I like so much about this book are two things: 1) he thoroughly covers the emotional aspect of fibroids, which traditionally western doctors don't even factor in, and 2) he lays out a very specific, detailed program to follow - all natural - if you are really serious about finding hormonal balance and achieving optimal health. And, as a hosilitic but traditionally western-trained MD, he throughly explains the (theoretical) medical reasons for fibroids (no one seems to know for sure yet), what they are physically, treatment options, and what kind of symptoms they can cause and WHY. All the "whys" I could ask were answered very thoroughly in this book. All the books I have read on fibroids have been good - and there aren't many - but this one was the most comprehensive in terms of gaining scientific, emotional and spiritual insight - and a plan to follow so you can take control. It was even well written to boot. After reading this book, instead of feeling like a victim, I viewed my fibroids as a challenge to grow personally instead. (And if your western doctor ever told you fibroids never shrink, read this book!)

AUTHENTIC HOLISTIC HEALING, Sep 1 2002
By A Customer
I'm thrilled that a conventionally trained MD-gynecologist is as knowledgeable about alternative medical approaches as Dr. Warshowsky is, and that he has made his knowledge available to the public. When a family member was diagnosed with endometrial cancer some years ago, I discovered how overwhelming the world of alternative medicine is, and how hard it is to find physicians who are adept at combining their conventional training with the vast array of alternative approaches that are out there. I wish there were more physicians like Dr. Warshowsky who can help patients navigate through the maze of conventional and alternative treatments and map out a clear and helpful holistic program. I love how he addresses emotional and spiritual issues (not just physical) and how he doesn't see a woman's uterus as some kind of disconnected organ acting of its own volition. but rather as a symptom of a broader imbalance that must be addressed holistically. But he is also totally scientific and not "touchy-feely," which is an unusual balance. I hope he will go on to write a series of books about women's health issues. He has contributed a chapter to another book about cervical disease and the HPV virus (WOMEN AT RISK) and that's a great book too.

Best Info. for Taking Action, Jun 4 2003
By A Customer
This book is the best, most informative book I've read on my newly discovered condition (and believe me I have read a lot). It gives very practical information especially with regard to diet. It was a little bit lacking in the last chapter "Putting Your Own Healing Program Together," as well as the parts about exercise and meditation. But for diet alone, this book is well worth it and you'll know what to do on your own as well as with the help of a practitioner.

Excellent & balanced resource, Oct 12 2002
By A Customer
This is a really great guide to dealing with fibroids and it gives you a wide variety of options in dealing with this condition. I agree that it is very balanced between scientific and holistic methods of healing. However, I do think you need to read this book AND then go to a healing practitioner (MD, nurse practioner or alternative practitioner) who has experience in dealing holistically with fibroids to guide you in what is best for you. But this book is a wonderful educational resource and guide and I highly recommend it!
