Make Yourself Better! Defy Your Doctors!

If your doctor tells you it is all in your head, buy this book. If you have heard, "Get pregnant and that will make you feel better," don't do it - buy this book first!! There are alternatives to this disease. There are doctors who know it and understand it. And this book is a collection of current scientific data, medicines, procedures, diets and stories from women who are going through it, beat it, or found their own solutions to it. This is the manual for women who suspect they may have this disease or for any woman who hurts too much every month with no explanation except... gee, take the pill. Don't! You have options!! Read this book and you'll hear about diet, excercise, laproscopy, acupuncture, and more, each with their own case studies of women who tried these answers. Mixed in with the hard data and the emotional retellings of endo is the comic strip, "Joe with Endo" - where the man has the endo and hears the messages from a woman doctor. The reversal of roles shows the idiocy of the messages told to sufferers of this disease. It's great! Remember - information is power, and your doctor may have less information than you if you read this book... good luck
