An interesting health site,
primarily for women. The link to the site as a whole, very neat
organizational structure, you can even search by symptom! |
 "This
is a website designed to help a young woman understand what happens at
her first visit to her general practitioner or gynecologist. It talks
also about what the doctor will discuss with you. It will help you to
ask questions, so you better understand your own body and how to take
better care of it." |
This is an international
website so don't be surprised at the unusual spelling. Very
informative, you get a virtual "guide" to walk you though the process.
Some parents may object to the questions about sex, and sexual history
so if that concerns you, preview the site. |

and Insulin Imbalance
by
Ronald F. Feinberg, MD, OBGYN.net
Editorial Advisor

"In this book, leading
reproductive specialist Dr. Ronald Feinberg provides a new way of
looking at the disorder, linking it to body wide metabolic
irregularities, insulin resistance, nutrition, activity, and stress-a
combination of health issues that collectively make up what he has
termed "Syndrome O." And this understanding brings new hope for
overcoming it.
Written in a compassionate, inspirational, and motivational style,
Healing Syndrome O discusses the causes and complications of this
condition and provides a targeted plan to help women balance and repair
their overall health, overcome symptoms, and, especially, restore their
fertility." |
