From Library Journal A nutritionist, chiropractor, and women's health advocate, Berkson (Healthy Digestion the Natural Way) is a "DES daughter" i.e., her mother was administered the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol early in pregnancy.Having been exposed to such a powerful chemical at a crucial stage in gestation, she has faced hormonal problems and gynecological procedures and is unable to bear children.Those medical issues led Berkson to dedicate herself to understanding women's health problems and finding practical, drug-free solutions.Her latest book is firmly grounded in both her experience and her expertise and offers clear guidance to more than 200 health conditions that concern women (e.g., anorexia, cellulite, and menopause), particularly those that affect women differently from men; special attention is paid to issues concerning women's hormones.Each entry includes an explanation, a section of female concerns, supplements to take, exercises, and a list of common and uncommon symptoms and causes.The treatment suggestions are primarily nutritional and natural.Berkson emphasizes that her recommendations should be followed only with a physician's supervision, and she recognizes the utility of medications and medical procedures.Recommended for consumer health and large health sciences collections as a potential tool for empowering women to take some measure of control over their own health.Linda M.G.Katz, MCP Hahnemann Univ., Philadelphia Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.Review Peter J.D'Adamo, M.D.author of Eat Right 4 Your TypeFactual, accessible, and superbly organized.I am certain this book will become a standard reference tool for the woman in quest of better self-care.About the Author D.Lindsey Berkson is a consulting scholar and visiting professor at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane and Xavier universities.She has a master's degree in nutrition, has lectured nationally, was a professor of nutrition at several colleges, had a radio show on nutrition in the Bay Area, and designed one of the first natural supplement lines for women (Fem Line).The author of Hormone Deception and Healthy Digestion the Natural Way, Berkson was also coeditor of Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, a book used to train medical doctors.She lives in Santa Fe.
