A Woman's Pain

Finding relief from pain is sometimes a desperate struggle. Often it seems that some physicians and other health care practitioners take the easy way out and will throw low level narcotic relief at you with the hope that you will just go away. Its cheap, easy, and eff... well two out of three isn't bad. At other times they will deny your pain experience, and invalidate your suffering, especially, if you are a woman. The very complexity of the pain experience is often ignored.WOMEN AND PAIN: WHY IT HURTS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO is both amazing and helpful. The authors discuss traditional methods of pain relief and control as well as alternative methods. The explanations of both vitamin and herbal aids for pain relief and the many other methods are elegantly expressed in plain, simple language that can be understood by anyone.WOMEN AND PAIN: WHY IT HURTS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO is a masterful work about pain relief for women for this new millennium.

Very Helpful Book

Dr. Youngs new book "Women And Pain..." led me to a life which someone like me would only dream of: a life with no pain. This book is the best book I ever bought. I suffered from migrains and back pain for over 7 years and the pain vanished after about 2 1/2 weeks of trying Dr. Youngs methods, I tried almost every other method out there and this is the only one that worked!

Great Book

This book truly helped me cope, and eventaully cure my chronic back and foot pain. I highly recommend anyone with pain to buy this book.

Dont Ignore Your Pain

At first I thought I had no hope for curing my pain, but then I discovered this book. This book put me on the track to a pain free lifestyle. I highly recommend this book to any woman who suffers from occasional or freqent pain of ANY kind. What seperates this book from the others is its diverse coverage of different pain types *from head to toe* ~(Literally!). Youngs book also includes mouthwatering low-fat recipies, each targeting a certain pain type- such as "healing vegetable miso soup" for osteoporosis. I highly recommend Women and Pain to the millions of women who suffer daily from pain.
