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

at the disorder, linking it to body wide metabolic irregularities, insulin

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." |
