Product Description
Testosterone is as natural to women as estrogen. It is not just a man’s hormone. From a woman’s teens until menopause, her body makes more testosterone than estrogen! Testosterone is crucial to a woman’s health and well-being. Loss of testosterone can cause loss of sex drive and sexual sensation, marked fatigue, low energy, hair loss, decreased stamina, loss of height, and other symptoms.

New testosterone therapy options for women are poised to hit the consumer market in 2005 and will revolutionize approaches to help women’s sexual response, much as Viagra revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Now it’s women’s turn.

This book is written by a nationally known women’s health physician and hormone specialist to provide reliable, cutting-edge medical information, important now to overcome stigma and negative myths about testosterone. Dr. Vliet teaches women to avoid risks of improper dosing using new treatment options with bioidentical testosterone. This book will help women learn ways to restore libido, improve muscle strength, build healthy bone, and maintain normal energy levels. ... Read more

A Great Education
I recently had a total hysterectomy and wanted more information about what could happen after. This book, long with "screaming to be heard" should be on every woman's shelf! With more knowledge about our bodies we become healthier and better patients.

AWSUME
This book has a lot of infomation for woman that your doctor may not be so open to discuss but you need to know.

The Savvy Woman's Guide to Testosterone
Very good book.She does it again!Dr. Vliet knows her stuff.I'd recommend this book to any woman who wants to know how hormones effect her life.

Hormones Are Too Important To Leave To Your Doctors
Most US doctors know very little about the effects of hormones on women's bodies. Testosterone is incredibly important for women as they age-it is the hormone not only of sexual desire, but desire for life, drives to achieve, and enjoyment of life. Find out the testosterone link to healthy skin, hair, eyes, and urinary tract, brain, and mood! Learn how to measure it, what the lab results mean, and how to supplement it safely. This is the clear and complete handbook for women from a female physician who has been treating patients for 25 years, and is on the cutting edge of the latest research. She also covers these topics in a weekly internet radio show at www.blogtalkradio.com/drvlietwhich is devoted to information, not sales pitches.

It's about time....
Thanks to the author, the word MAY get out.I only found out about Testosterone when I got "pre-cancerous lesions". This was about 8 years after I had total hysterectomy.(Removal of ovaries, cervix and uterus)at age 32. During that time, I lost pubic hair (and even head hair), my vagina shrunk so bad I looked like a Barbie Doll and sex/libido was GONE. Then when I got these lesions, GYN prescribed Testosterone as "useful" but controversial. Within days, the lesions diappeared, hair began to grow back, vagina softened and swelled to normal and then I got HORNY! I've used it for over 10 years now and I look younger than my friends, I have a very happy hubby, my body looks ten years younger and I am in my sixties. I moved to a new state and the new Doctor is not wild over my insistence of Testosterone cream. He says it's controversial. I want to say, "Get over it - just look at your patient, don't you see the health difference?"So don't expect your MD to clamor for the information this good Dr. Vliet is imparting. After all, she is a female. I say, just listen to her! ... Read more

Excerpt: Black River (Jamaica) -The river's source is in Cockpit Country where it runs underground before emerging north of Siloah on the southern fringe Cockpits ( ). Immediately after its emergence, the river meanders gently through the cane fields of the Appleton Estate. Approaching Maggoty its speed increases and occasional rapids occur. Passing through Maggotty, the river runs alongside the road and goes down several small waterfalls and the Black River Gorge located in the Apple Valley Park. Running past Newton, the river flows into the Upper Morass being joined by the Smith River and other smaller tributaries, where thick rushes flourish. In the Elim area, a fish farm cultivates the Jesus fish, a variety of African perch, so called because of its reputation as a prolific breeder.

Product Description
A comprehensive Guidebook to treatment options and the latest medical advances for Sjogren's Syndrome.

Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disorder characterized by dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eye (keratoconjuctivitis sicca) which represent the two primary clinical features of this disorder. Two distinct forms of Sjogren's syndrome are recognized known as primary and secondary Sjogren's. Primary Sjogren's syndrome is defined as dry mouth that is not associated with another underlying autoimmune disoder, whereas, secondary Sjogren's is dry eye and dry mouth associated with an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or scleroderma.

It has been estimated that approximately 1 to 2 million Americans suffer from Sjogren's syndrome and affects women 9 times more frequently than men. Symptoms usually begin between the ages of 30 to 60 and frequently coincide with the onset of menopause. The exact cause of Sjogren's syndrome remains unknown and research is ongoing to try to elucidate the underlying physiological basis for the disorder.

Although dry mouth and dry eye are the two primary features of Sjogren's syndrome, the disorder can become systemic and affect other organ systems of the body as well. Systemic manifestations of Sjogren's syndrome may include fatigue, muscle/joint pain, dry/itchy skin, gastroesophageal reflux, peripheral neuropathy, and vaginal dryness (among others). Research has demonstrated an association between Sjogren's syndrome and the development of lymphoma.

Currently there is no know cure for Sjogren's syndrome. The objectives of treatment are to control the symptoms, prevent or limit organ involvement, and help patients improve their quality of life. Treatments for Sjogren's syndrome vary from patient to patient depending upon symptoms and which parts of the body are affected. In general, treatment is focused upon controlling the symptoms of dry mouth and dry eye using a variety of different strategies. Treatments for systemic manifestations of Sjogren's syndrome will vary depending upon which organs are involved and the severity of the symptoms.

Product Description
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to find the long lost Fountain of Youth? We can’t promise you that, but we can give you a close second.

Your skin is the first telltale sign of getting old. Starting today, get the facts about “anti-aging” and what you can do to forestall it.

Hey, there’s no way you can stop the aging process but there’s no reason why you can’t fight it kicking and screaming all the way!

Do you know the two types of aging that make your skin vulnerable? We address this in the first chapter. Know your enemy! Learn how and why skin ages. Good grief, how can you fight an enemy unless you have a full understanding of how and why it operates?

Once you understand how and why your skin ages it makes the next step of identifying your skin type almost child’s play in the next few chapters.

The Skinny on Skin Creams

Try counting the number of commercials you see every day touting some new “miracle cream” that is guaranteed to make you look the model. Yeah right!

Anti-aging goods and services account for billions of dollars spent in the hopes of delaying the onset of skin aging. This topic is covered in our chapter on skin cream and wrinkles.

Finally, get the “skinny on skin creams” and find out which ones work and which ones don’t. Remember, those television AND print ads are designed to separate you from your money.

Truth be told most of their claims are slanted and unrealistic. Often you will find that there are low cost solutions to the problems that these expensive creams are supposed to cure!

Sandpaper Skin Care



Well, it’s pretty close. Depending on who you are and what skin type you have this can be a brutal process! They use different names and supposedly produce miraculous results, but take a closer look.

We’re talking about chemical skin peels. . .wow, that sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie)! Then there’s dermabrasion. . . yikes, did they dig that one up along with a mummy?

They are tortuous, expensive procedures that are supposed to leave you with a new, younger looking top layer of skin and a refreshing experience.

Hmmm, I think people with first degree burns experience that as well and they certainly didn’t ask for it!

Now, if you are really into personal torture you can graduate to the head of the class with Botox, Collagen injections, laser procedures, facelifts and other invasive methods.

Be True to your Mother!

Mother Nature, that is. Some people have liposuction. Others have fat moved from one body part to another. Others are pushed, pulled and stretched into unnatural blobs of flesh. All this is done in the name of youth.

It’s a fact that Mother Nature does have tools in place that can give you optimal results helping you to look and feel younger despite the ravages of time. We do discuss these natural options as well.

What Can You Do?

Your skin is the largest single organ of your body. It’s also the most vulnerable. Start educating yourself immediately! There is no reason not to fight the aging process with every tool at your disposal.

Your best defense is information and not necessarily another $50.00 jar of the latest and greatest so-called cures!
