Dr Bob's Drugless Guide to Balancing Female Hormones Paperback – 1 Dec. 2010

I took so much value and knowledge from this book that I bought it for 3 other ladies in my family.Just superb, very easy to read and so informative that I finished it within a few days and am now on my 3rd read. Very much enjoying trying out some of the recommendations and am finding myself with more energy as a result.

A friend wanted this because they wanted a more natural way of balancing female hormones and they are please with the results they are having.

He makes a lot of good points in this book. It helps to get an understanding of what is going on in the body. I would recommend anyone to read this book at least once. I wouldn't follow all the advice though bit extreme to do everything in the book.

This book is a must for everyone interested in hormonal imbalances and how to solve them the natural way. I've got one objection, though. Although he recommends flaxseed oil, marine sources of Omega-3 oils (especially krill oil) have proven time and time again to be more bioavailable to the human body than flaxseed oil.Sara Bermejo (Spain)

Not what u expected. A rather hard read

This man claims to be a doctor but if you check his qualifications he certainly is not. He claims to be a drugless doctor when in fact he is no doctor at all.Please check for yourself. "Robert F. DeMaria, DC, DABCO, FASBE, NHD"There are better books out there.

I have read this book several times over. Definitely worth it.

This is my second purchase of this book - I wanted a copy of the updated version. The subject matter was a revelation to me when I first read it. I had issues which I discovered were hormonal, and did not like the treatment options outlined to me by my GP and gynaecologist. So armed with their diagnoses, I set out looking for a way to treat the problem, not the symptoms. I discovered this book. I appreciated the simplicity of the explanations in this book and now have a better understanding of how it all works together, nothing going on is in isolation to anything else, and hormones are so important!! I did not use this book alone, I saw a naturopath, homeopath and psychologist and feel like I am on the road to better health. I have since loaned it to friends who feel the same way. In particular, one is a dietician who was on medication for thyroid issues and in her words "medically trained and not open to the idea of natural remedies". She was astounded by the information she gained from this book. I live outside the US, so I do not access all the products/services described in the book, but I still feel that it is a valuable source of information for me. I'm not saying it is easy to do everything this book says and sometimes the subject is a bit confronting/uncomfortable, but I would still recommend it as essential reading!

I have had health issues for the past five years. I have cut dairy out of my diet, believing I was lactose intolerant. I have followed the Candida diet regimen three times. I switched to all organic foods and gave up a lot of foods. These things helped but never got to the root of the problem. Since following the steps in this book, I finally have relief and it has only been 3 months. Thank you, doctor Bob, for I finally have a regimen that works and will be a permanent life style change. I look forward to each day as I gain energy, strength, and my life back. The toughest challenge, now, is getting my family to to see the importance of this lifestyle change and them having the desire and perseverance to follow the steps and stick to it for life. Unfortunately, a lot of people enjoy the foods they grew up on and have a hard time giving them up. If only they could stick it out for a couple of months, they would soon realize that those foods do not really taste that good anymore. Thank you, again for the insight in your book and that I am finally free from pain and sleepless nights, that were caused by my eating habits and lack of nutrition.

Interesting information. Some reviewers have criticized Dr. Bob's writing style, and the book could have used some better editing, but I think he is just writing as if he is actually talking to you. If you can overlook a little disorganization, there is a lot of food for thought in this book. Dr. Bob is wise, knowledgeable, and intuitive.
