| After reading this book I gained such clarity of understanding of this awful and painful disease. Any woman or teenager that suffers from Endo must read this book! The book teaches you first how the immune, reproductive, and digestive systems, all work together and depend on eachother and then how endometriosis disrupts (to put it mildly) their special balance. The book then walks you through how nutrition (through supplements and food) plays such an important role in maintaining our system's balance and in healing. We can heal ourselves! And through testimonials in the book, you will see how women have changed their lives. Whatever your goal may be, to be pain-free or to achieve and maintain a pregnancy, this book will help you. Because of this book, two weeks ago I have begun to change my diet and already I have noticed a difference. The information provided in this book is invaluable. |
The best book I've read on the subject

| I have been doing a lot of information hunting since my diagnosis of Stage IV Endometriosis. Of all the books (and other sources)I have read, this book is the most helpful and most logical. The authors explain how our bodies work, how everything within us is interrelated, and how what we put into our bodies effect that interrelation. Along with the extensive nutritional information, they also explain all the present treatment options available to us and how each one changes our body. I believe this is a very important book in helping us gain control of our lives again. (if the authors are reading this...Thank you) |
An excellent reference for women with endometriosis.

| I found this book to be an excellent reference for women with endo trying to heal through nutrition. The authors explain how the biochemical pathways and cellular functions are affected by the nutrients that we need. They also explain the how certain compunds in foods we eat can be harmful and adversely affect the normal cell function. There is a section in the end that explains each nutrient, and they even provide some recipes as a starting point for changing your diet. |
The power of nutrition - it works

| As a stage IV endometriosis sufferer, the diet recommendations dramatically alleviated menstrual cramps and especially bowel pressure and pain through the removal of wheat/wheat gluten, minimizing red meats, and maximizing vegetables, fruits and nuts. I found that starting this diet within a few months post-laparoscopy was most helpful. |
An excellent resource

| After three years of infertility due to endometriosis, we had given up hope. After eight months on this diet we were expecting our first child with no medical intervention. Even if you aren't trying to conceive, this diet DOES help you feel a lot better. |
