Our Bodies Ourselves, MenopauseReview by Chrisa V. Katsampes, 2010-06-12
Received the product early and was pleased for the prompt delivery. The book, however, did not seem to be as comprehensive as the other Our Bodies, Ourselves books.
Disappointing
Review by rockergirl, 2009-06-04
Not the thorough kind of medical advice you met expect, rather, this book is full of quotes and anecdotes from other women. That may be helpful to some people, emotionally, but it doesn't answer vital questions you may have. Also, the sections on sexuality are pretty limited. Photos are cheesy and look dated.
Keep searching for a better, more fact-laden text. I haven't found one yet!
Just in time
Review by J. R. R., 2008-10-04
More detailed and interesting than any doctor I've spoken with. I also love any alternative to drugs. As soon as I finish, each of my sisters will enjoy and learn as well.
Our Bodies, Our Selves
Review by Blue Jeeper, 2007-11-16
The book is ok. At the same time I bought this book I also purchased one by Cr. Christiana Northrup on menopause called "The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change", which I much prefer. The second volume encourages trying a holistic approach to menopause before resorting to hormone replacement therapy. Our Bodies, Our Selves barely mentions that approach as a suitable means of treating symptoms.
The absolute best book on the market!
Review by Donna Toman, 2007-05-22
This is a spectacular book. There is so much biased junk out there. This book provides the scientific basis for what is happening to our bodies and then provides the pros and cons of all of the different therapies, combined with real life stories of people who are going through it or have gone through it. Finally a true and reliable source that is documented, unbiased and easy to read and follow.
If there is one book to buy about what is happening to you, this is the one! Thank you!!!
