Beating Endo

Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain and may lead to infertility. The average woman may suffer for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis, then she's often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for surgery. Orbuch and Stein address the disease's host of co-existing conditions through a whole-mind/whole-body approach. Their anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocol incorporates physical therapy, nutrition, mindfulness, and environment to systematically addresses each of the disease's co-conditions on an ongoing basis up to and following excision surgery. -- adapted from jacket of hardcover
