 I keep buying copies, then giving them away, even to my Dr. October 17, 2007

This book is powerful information for any woman who wants to really take care of herself...and humorously tells you why and how to do just that. I have given copies to my daughters, one just weeks before she delivered her first baby. She was really scared of the birth process, and read the chapters on pregnancy and childbirth as I asked. After the delivery, she told me how she drew on the information Dr. Northrop wrote from personal experience....and was thrilled at how much it made sense and really worked. I then gave my next copy to my own internist, pregnant with her first child who wasn't taking the time to "be pregnant". She wrote a thank you note to say how much she had gotten out of the book, and had given herself permission to be a little less of a doctor to all of her patients and more of a mother to this unborn child. Give yourself a great present; buy this book and the book "Understanding: Train of Thought" and READ THEM from front to back.

This is a fascinating book, that makes so much sense. the power of our thoughts and emotions on the body has been known for a long time by the masters of yoga. This book, takes it even further and looks at the female reproductive system and its functioning from a holistic perspective and that is exciting
great book for all women September 27, 2007

my sister gave me a copy as a gift and I then bought a copy for each of my daughters. Every woman should read this book--actually every man who lives with a woman or girl should read this book.
Muy sabio September 12, 2007

Christiane Northrup es una mujer muy especial y lo demuestra en este libro. La manera como presenta y explica absolutamente todo es muy claro. Para aquellos que deseen una interpretacion y/o explicacion de todo lo referente a la mujer mas alla de 'lo standard'
Ella es ginecologo pero ha aprendido a desarrollar su parte espiritual y lo combina y lo aplica en este libro.
Este libro es adecuado para mujeres de cualquier edad.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente!
 Couldn't they afford an editor? 905 pages????? September 4, 2007

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned in other reviews. I don't have time to read them all.
But this book is too big to hold and read! It's just unwieldy. And it's very cheap stock, almost like newsprint. Even upon the first light reading, the inner binding gave way. Disappointing!
I'll keep it on the shelf, for reference, but I won't read it through.
I have enjoyed Northrup's books in the past -- and her newsletters as well -- but I feel like she's overstepping her bounds. I'm all for the study of chakras, metaphysics, etc.--sticking to straight allopathic medicine will kill you, IMHO -- and she used to give the whole smorgasbord. But now, when she doesn't have all the medical facts, she throws in a psychological/patriarchal explanation. As I mentioned in a comment to Adelie's review, the result is blaming the the victim and not offering real tools for healing. Dangerous.
