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. |

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." |
