Summary: This book saved my life!
Review: THIS BOOK IS THE MISSING LINK, I am convinced, for women over 30. Dr. Vliet doesn't offer "one size fits all" solutions but her hormone advice is right-on. She is an expert on the female endocrine system and knows what she is talking about. I have compared Dr. Vliet's books to a few others out there, and none really compare. I wish I had found this book years ago, it would have saved me years of anguish. Premature ovarian decline is a real phenonmenon, whether the general public wants to accept it or not. I lived in denial for about 5 years thinking I was "too young" to have menopausal symptoms. It was just too embarassing and taboo to delve in to. I am so glad I did! My symptoms (acne, low energy, depression, insomnia) have resolved in less than a month on a low-dose birth control pill. Low dose birth control has done more for me than low-carb dieting, flax seed oil, progesterone cream ,etc. and other so-called "magic bullets" recommended by other so-called "experts". Dr. Vliet is an MD with 20 years of serious clinical practice, she knows what she is talking about. PMS cannot be cured through diet and exerise alone. I should know, I tried for 5 years.

Summary: This woman just gets it!!!
Review: This book just makes sense! Every thing I have been feeling, fatigue, headache, anger out of proportion to events, moody, everything now has a possable answer. This book may not be the answer to everyones problems but it at leat gives you hope and a place to start. I didn't have that before. I'm actualy going to see this woman, she just gets it! EVERY woman needs to read this book even if she is not having problems, if not for herself then for her daughter, neice, or mother. We need to quit blindly trusting our Dr. They are only human. Information, and a good strong backbone to demand what's best for you as an individual is the key to good health care. This will greatly help with the information part of it. It's amazing how little we know about our bodies when the information is out there. Dr. Vliet not only tells you the what but explains the why as well.Then she backs everything up with documented lab studies. It's very interesting what has been found that is ignored. People go from Dr. to Dr. to Dr. on other issues untill they find a Dr. that tells them something that makes sense and that they can work with. Why not on hormones. If you have been to your Dr. for problems they can't explain or give an explnation that doesn't make sense to you, this book is your 2nd opnion. If you have or have had or love someone who has or have had overies you need to read this book. This woman just gets it!!!!

Summary: Read this book! Answers no one else will give you.
Review: Vliet does a wonderful job of explaining how hormones work and why you are dragging through life when they are out of balance. If you think you have a hormone problem, suffer from unexplained fatigue, have PCOS, endemetriosis, or any other female disorder, you need to read this book, Then, if your doctor is not listening, fire them and find someone who will help you get well.She offers real information about the dangers of environmental chemicals and food additives that you won't find elsewhere. Learn what you need to know to regain your life and protect your body from the chemicals that are contributing to the epidemic of fertility problems, obesity, depression and fatigue. My only problem with this book is that Vliet completely dismisses all natural treatments as dangerous. There are dangerous herbs, some of the most potent poisons come from plants. But the majority of herbs have a safety record that goes back centuries. I do hope she takes the time to learn about the herbs and natural treatments that are proven to work safely.
