Hi guys. Sorry I meant to tell you where I got that book. In addition
to Barnes and Noble you can also get it on Amazon.com. I think the
reason you were having some trouble finding, Mary, is because it's been
reprinted under a slightly different name. Now the cover title is
Endometriosis: A practical guide of healing through nutrition. The
publisher is Element Books, LTd.
ISBN 1862043000. Glad you guys are looking into it. I don't know why
but i am really hopeful this will help. Keep me updated on how it all
goes. All the best.
