Summary: Good Alternative to Medical Treatment
Review: After many years of hormone treatments, I was encouraged to find a new and fresh perspective on treatment for endometriosis. This is a great resource for those with endo., however I did not find it to be an easy read. It has a lot of information and takes somewhat of a scientific approach (a scientist I am not). If you can approach the book with a positive attitude seeking to really change your diet, then it is definitely the book for you. If you are half heartedly looking at the book and do not have a desire to drastically change your diet, then you may want to rethink the purchase.

Summary: This book will save my life!
Review: I am not even finished reading this book but I am tearing through it and my eyes are opening wider with each page. I have the added honour of having met with Dian Shepperson Mills myself last week I have to say that I am confident that the combination of the book and the consultation will truly change my life. She recommended a course of supplements that I began taking eight days ago, and I ALREADY feel better! I have been suffering from chronic endometriosis pain for YEARS. Since following the advice of this lady, I already feel and see the difference in myself and I am confident that this new regime will give me my life, fertility and happiness back. I cannot emphasise enough how urgent and important it is for any woman suffering from this crippling disease to buy this book and if at all possible visit with this lady. She told me herself that she gets in excess of three thousand emails each week from women looking for help, so that has to mean that there is a strong message in this book that we can all identify with. More than anything, this lady has in the past suffered from endo herself, so believe me, she knows what we are going through and she has managed to cure herself! I managed to see her on a last minute cancellation in the Hale Clinic on Park Crescent in London, but I know she also practises in Sussex. There is plenty of information about her on the internet, so please check her out now! Allergies and inadequate nutrition related illness are at epidemic level as very recently announced in the UK on the news. Prince Charles is even advocating alternative therapies on the NHS system. So, it's official everyone, this is comething we can not ignore any longer! Please, for your own sake, do read this book, sleep with it under your pillow, read it at lunchtime at work, while you are sitting on the bus on the way home, when your other half is watching footie on the TV. Do not put it down because it will change your life. If I can help anyone just by sharing information about my own experience, or give feedback about my own progress, please feel free to email me on orla_d@hotmail.com
For the first time in twelve years of snide remarks by doctors at my questions about diet and theories about it being connected with endometriosis and candida albicans, I finally have hope.
Thank you Dian. I will name my first child after you, as I am sure many other women have done already.

Summary: Pasadena
Review: I got this book as soon as I found out it existed! I have the 1999 version, and I loved it, I took it wherever I went for reference. I haven't finished reading the new one yet, but it seems just as well done as the first, but with more information. I've been using the nutrition/supplement method for my endo and have seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of pain I experience, with some monthly cycles being totally pain free, with no medication. I also had chronic colitis at the start of the treatment, which has all but vanished. I've recommended the first book to many, for both overall health and fertility reasons, and I will definitely be recommending this one now. As a matter of fact, I bought two when I ordered it, one for a friend!

Summary: The Best Book to Buy for Endometriosis!
Review: I read the first edition and I had to write a review (I never do) but in doing so, I could help others with this horrible disease. The information in this book changed my life completely. I have had two surgeries for endo and countless ob/gyn visits - I finally followed the book's nutritional advice and after 3-4 weeks, my pain disappeared. Not only that, 4 months later, I became pregnant and now I am a mother to a beautiful baby girl. My energy is 100 times better - I felt so helpless before but now I feel so empowered. I have never felt so healthy! Please read - there is hope for you!!!

Summary: Utter Nonsense!
Review: The positive reviews of this book just go to show how powerful the placebo effect can be. I followed the recommendations in this book for a 1-month trial. Result? No effect whatsoever on my longstanding severe endometriosis. The more I read, the more I'm convinced that Dr. Redwine in Oregon has the real answer -- meticulous surgery as the only real cure for endo. Hormonal treatments are only temporary, and many women cannot bear the adverse effects associated with them, including depression, mood swings, decreased intelligence, etc. Pain medication works, but who wants to be drugged for the rest of one's life? Medicinal cannabis helps the most of any nonsurgical treatment I've had. Each of my 4 surgeries has reduced the pain -- I hope that that my next surgery, which will focus on the bowel, bladder, and diaphragm implants, will be my last.
Oh, I've gotten away from the point of this review. Anyway, I checked this book out of the library to see if it said anything worthwhile, but it didn't. It's easy to prescribe "good nutrition" for a chronic condition; who among us couldn't stand to eat a little better? But this sort of approach is really a form of blaming the victim -- if you women would only eat properly, you wouldn't have this terrible condition. Nonsense! Endometriosis is just like cancer, except it doesn't invade the bone or lymph system (that we know of) and doesn't lead as quickly to death (although some women suffering the intense pain of endometriosis sometimes briefly think that death would be preferable). Worst of all, endometriosis can really ruin a relationship between a husband and wife (because sex usually makes the symptoms far worse), especially if the wife's physicians aren't sufficiently educated and think the problem is "all in her head."

Summary: Healing Through Nutrition
Review: This is a condition where the presence of endometrium elsewhere than in the lining of the uterus; causes premenstrual pain and dysmenorrheal. The only way to get out of this pain for ever is to go to an expert surgeon and he will do the needful. Temporary results can be had from hormone treatment which has real bad side effects like depression, mood swings etc. People suffering from Endometriosis should read this book and follow the instructions for a real change in their life.
I did like the authors' suggestion for caffeine-free beverages. I've been off coffee after my doctor told me it caused me acid indigestion. He recommended a coffee replacement called S o yfee made from soya beans and it taste great. I found it on the net at www.s oycoffee.com.

Summary: Read this Book if you have endometriosis
Review: WOW! This is such an easy read. I was always confused about what endometriosis was and more importantly how it caused my pain. This book describes this medical stuff very well. I have tried some of its suggestions and boy do I feel better. I still feel pain but it is not as bad as it was. This book is worth it.
