Wake Up and smell the Tofu. by A. Jones (Virginia)  5 Stars
September 07, 2002
This book was a true eye-opener for me! I recommend this book to everyone I know who has Endo. I have used it's wisdom enthusiastically, and with fabulous results. As an effect of this book, I turned to yoga. I changed my diet. I did alot of things differently. And let me tell you ladies, if you experience pain are you're sick of taking those pills, then get this book and read it every night. Make it your tummy bible! I went from periods that were horrible: endless aching and pain, cold sweats, dizziness, diarrhea, shakes, even vomiting! (and 4+ pain killers, hot water bottles, and teas) to periods that were virtually PAINLESS. Lifestyle changes and diet, it really helped me out. Now I can work like everyone else and I don't need a single pain killer. Not one. Today I had my period and went to play raquetball. WOW! What is most heartening about this book is just how it makes you fell informed about yourself. We all grow up feeling kind of helpless about the mysterious female pain of menstruation, waving helplessly at our family or partners over the years. it doesn't need to be like that! It takes time too: my changes didn't occur overnight, but within half a year my periods were bearable enough I made it through without pills. A year later the pain was all gone. So there ya have it! Here's a tip: NO BEEF! Well, try to get the red meats out of your diet. Especially not within ten days of your period. You'll see.... ;)

Great information! 5 Stars

I am 26 and was recently diagnosed with fibroids. This book offered helpful information that calmed my initial fears. The dietary guidance should be considered by all women. I especially enjoyed the recipes and exercise information.

Thank You Susan Lark 5 Stars
January 14, 2002
I am a 35-year-old African American female and have suffered from fibroids for over 7 years. Almost everyone in my family does to some degree. Various quacks have prescribed painkiller after painkiller. Then finally I had a surgery and conceived, but lost our child at 18 weeks. A year later, a fibroid was back with an ovarian cyst. I did not want more surgery, so during the holiday I order this book and started the plan. During my recent ultrasound, examine less than 3 weeks later the small fibroid was gone and the cyst partial collapsed (part fluid it was solid) and shrunk. I feel great and whole for the first time in a long time. Thank you for having the courage to show us a different way. The book was balanced with options and I will recommend it to all I know.

Lots of helpful suggestions 5 Stars
August 07, 2001
I have to admit, I've done a thorough skimming of the book rather than a complete read. But she knows her stuff and has some really helpful lists and suggestions. As a heavy bleeder and someone who was diagnosed with small fibroids (6-week uterus), I'm really anemic (10.2) and have started eating foods from the "good" lists (which, incidentally, coincide with the detoxification/cleansing diet my nutritionist gave me). There are quite a few de-stressing and exercise suggestions, and I just haven't been able to find that kind of advice anywhere else. If you can't do it all, there are lots of things to pick and choose from that are likely to help.

Change your life 5 Stars
June 01, 2001
This book is a MUST have for any woman suffering from fibroids. After two surgeries i knew i had to take matters into my own hands. I read this book changed my diet, started used herbs, and exercise and my symptoms have disappeared. i tell anyone i know to tell anyone they know with fibroids to read this book. I agree with chigacojess that western medicine can do but so much. My doctor was insisiting that i have a hysterectomy. I'm 31 . NO WAY! Now he looks at me in amazement. I am no longer anemic, my fibroids have decreased in size and he can't explain it.Thanks Dr. susan Lark. She saved my uterus, and i am forever grateful.
