 The Endometriosis Sourcebook : The Definitive Guide to Current Treatment
Options, the Latest Research, Common Myths About the Disease and Coping strategies
by Mary Lou Ballweg (Editor), Endometriosis Association, Dan Martin
The Endometriosis Sourcebook is "the definitive guide to
current treatment options, the latest research, common myths about the disease, and coping
strategies" compiled by the Endometriosis Association and its president, Mary Lou
Ballweg. Ballweg lived with the disease for years, struggled through treatments and
surgeries, was lucky enough to give birth to a "miracle baby," was bedridden for
months at a time, and underwent a hysterectomy after all other treatment options were
exhausted. She's therefore quite sympathetic toward fellow endo patients.
This all-inclusive book collects comparisons of different laser
treatments; discusses the little-known connections between endo and autoimmune and thyroid
problems, as well as diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome; covers new research
directions; examines the effectiveness of Chinese medicine; shares letters from hundreds
of women detailing their experiences; and much more. Perhaps most importantly, Ballweg
strives to communicate how serious a disease endometriosis can be:
If there were millions of [men] out there, young men whose dreams were in danger of
being destroyed by a disease, whose ability to function sexually was at risk, whose
fertility was at risk, whose ability to build a satisfying work life and carry out normal
activities of living was at risk, and who even would face the threat of castration, no one
would dare say it was unimportant.--Jhana Bach
