The only popular holistic medical guide for women, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom is the long-awaited, much-needed, unique, practical and philosophical approach to healing that empowers women to take control of their physical and emotional health. As radically feminist as Our Bodies, Ourselves was in its day, Dr. Northrup's guide cites dramatic and affecting cases of women healing from long-term illnesses through alternative medical methods, and gives groundbreaking mind-body guidance. This revolutionary book combines curing with caring, knowledge with intuition, and demonstrates that physical healing is inseparable from spiritual healing. It authoritatively and compassionately guides readers through an A to Z list of women's conditions from fibroids, menstruation, and vaginitis to cancer, hysterectomy, and menopause. From the Trade Paperback edition.

With such groundbreaking bestsellers as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdomand The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of today’s most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to women’s health. . . . The mother-daughter relationship sets the stage for our state of health and well-being for our entire lives. Because our mothers are our first and most powerful female role models, our most deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves as women come from them. And our behavior in relationships—with food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselves—is a reflection of those beliefs. Once we understand our mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and create a lasting positive legacy for the next generation. Mother-Daughter Wisdom introduces an entirely new map of female development, exploring the “five facets of feminine power,” which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any woman—whether ornot she has children—–to repair the gaps in her own upbringing and create a better adult relationship with her mother. If she has her own daughter, it will help her be the mother she has always wanted to be. Drawing on patient case histories and personal experiences, Dr. Northrup also presents findings at the cutting edge of medicine and psychology. Discover: •How to lay the nutritional foundation to prevent eating disorders and adult diseases •The truth about the immunization controversy–and the true meaning of immunity •How we can change our genetic health legacy •Why financial literacy is essential to women’s health •How to foster healthy sexuality and future “love maps” in our daughters •How to balance independence with caring, and individual growth with family ties Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and rare intelligence, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is an indispensable book destined to change lives and become essential reading for all women.

Through her bestselling books, groundbreaking PBS specials, and up-to-the-minute clinical knowledge, Dr. Christiane Northrup has earned a place as one of America’s most trusted medical advisors. In The Wisdom of Menopause, she once again challenges convention with this inspiring look at one of the most commonly misunderstood female health issues. The “change” is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” Dr. Northrup claims, but a mind/body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now–from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet–have the power to secure her health and well-being for the rest of her life. Through her personal story and many fascinating case histories, Dr. Northrup shows: • How menopause jump-starts changes in the brain, issuing a dramatic wake-up call to body, mind, and emotions • How to ensure the long-term health of breasts, bones, and heart • How the body adjusts naturally to changing hormones • Why bestselling drugs like Premarin may not be the best choice • How to deal with metabolism shifts, weight gain, sexual problems, and appearance issues • How to negotiate the challenges of “the empty nest” and midlife marriage And much more. In a book destined to be a classic, Dr. Northrup shows women how they can make menopause a time of personal empowerment and positive energy–emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.

Although 26,000 babies are stillborn in the United States every year, stillbirth continues to be a taboo subject. Life Touches Life shatters the silence that has hidden a bane as old as humankind. Lorraine Ash met that silence head-on when, after a trouble-free pregnancy, her baby was declared dead on what was to be her date of birth. After a C-section, Ash fought a fever that raged at 104 degrees and she almost succumbed to the silent B-strep infection that had robbed her daughter of life. Awed by the experience, which was to change her forever, Ash sought solace and perspective in all the old places and found little relief. In her book she tears down the walls of misunderstanding that isolated her in her hour—indeed years—of need. "Shattering the silence is essential if mothers are to integrate their loss into their daily lives," Ash writes. "A child who only existed inside her mother, can continue to spiritually exist there and the two can remain close." Ash discusses the inner changes she faced after the stillbirth of her daughter and delves into spiritual questions that shook her soul. The final message: Epiphanies emerge from the stuff of everyday experience. Hope is here.

Unexpected breakthroughs that bring hope and healthThe Wurn Technique® has restored quality of life to many people suffering adhesion-related pain. It is producing countless unanticipated benefits &ndash; including restored female fertility &ndash; as its story continues to unfold.In 1985, physical therapist Belinda Wurn was told she would live in excruciating pain from adhesions for the rest of her life. She and her husband, Larry, didn't take it sitting down. Through extensive study, trial and error they developed an effective hands-on treatment to relieve Belinda's pain. Their technique proved valuable beyond what they had even imagined.Inspired by the results they witnessed, they established a clinic to provide care and compassion to people who, like Belinda, had been told by doctors there was no hope. The foundation of treatment was their Wurn Technique®, a deep 'hands on' therapy to affected muscles and organs. They found that it worked for most patients as it had for Belinda.Soon, they began hearing from patients who were experiencing a range of totally unexpected benefits. It started with a woman who had come to them as a last gasp effort to relieve severe pelvic pain. After completing the Wurn's therapy she was virtually pain-free; but it didn't end there. Before therapy, she was infertile due to seven years of totally blocked fallopian tubes. But after her visit to the Wurns, she called to say she had become pregnant &ndash; the good old fashioned way. As word spread, physicians began referring women with pain or infertility despite years of expensive medical treatments, surgery or IVF. One doctor referred his wife, 12 years' infertile and entering menopause. Most of these women (including the doctor's wife) had natural pregnancies and easy births after the Wurns' therapy. To their delight, many found that desire and orgasms increased, or sex was no longer painful.Then reports came in from others with similar stories of unanticipated positive results. In the face of these, and with the encouragement of the medical community, Belinda and Larry began expanding their horizons.Overcome Infertility or Pain, Naturally is the fascinating story of these breakthroughs. It details the science behind the Wurn Technique® and presents the results of rigorous medical studies. It shares the dramatic narratives of women who had been declared medically infertile and went on to become "miracle moms." And it shines the light on many areas of new hope for people suffering a range of painful symptoms, from intestinal blockages to hormonal problems.This is a book of inspiration and hope built on a rock solid foundation of good, sound science and fact. It is required reading for anyone seeking solutions to female infertility, pain (whether unexplained, or related to adhesions or endometriosis), and other adhesion-related problems.
