Starting today, you can put an end to your pain and reclaim your active life with Dr. Smith's 8-step holistic program for women.

I have been waiting for the release of this book ever since reading about it in a small magazine called OURSELVES. The book is everything I need--answers all my questions about pain and why I feel pain differently than my husband. It has superb remedies--both natural and medicine--for ending menstrual cramps, headaches, and back pain. I took notes and gave the book to a friend with fibromyalgia as there's a section on this, too.Very refreshing, very revealing!! Finally--someone knows what women have endured and now WE know how to best treat it!
My doctor wrote this book!! Thank you.

I saw Dr. Smith when he was in Boston at Beth Israel (Harvard). He is the DEAREST, MOST COMPASSIONATE doctor I've ever known. I've suffered with chronic back pain for years, and Dr. Smith helped me find the right combination of therapies to resolve the pain and live my life again. This book is so totally him!! It is easy-to-read, compassionate, and helps women (like me) understand what is happening when we have pain. His treatment program is so conservative with many natural therapies listed and explained. He's the best--and this book reflects that.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
A book on ENDING PAIN for women--recommend

I reviewed this book and am recommending it to my women clients. A comprehensive trade book, the authors have superb credentials. Dr. Smith is a pain expert and medical doctor yet gives a well-thought-out holistic program that includes exercise (such as yoga and stretching), dietary changes, natural therapies including botanicals, stress management, and hands-on touch therapies, among others. The book focuses on pain that's common to women such as headaches, menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and other types and discusses how to best treat these with a multifaceted program. I'm keeping a copy on hand as a personal resource.
