More than learning about hormones, this book should illustrate how important it is for you to take responsibility for your own wellness. It's not just the hormones, though it's one of the first building blocks to consider since they essentially run the whole show. It's about two other things - give your cells the nutrients and things they REQUIRE to remain healthy. And deprive your cells of the toxins that cause a damaged cell, thus disease.Good stuff? Organic, healthy foods, balanced diet, healthy and clean water free of heavy metals and toxins, high-quality, targeted supplements, fresh air. Toxins? Oh, there are tons of them: Worthless foods with no nutritional content, prepackaged foods, 'convenience foods', foods with toxic ingredients that cause cellular damage, foods that were raised with pesticides in a toxic environment. That means no white sugar, no white flour, no dairy, no 'bad' fats, no factory farmed products EVER, and don't forget all that 'bottled water' that is simply from municipal water sources, with no healthy minerals, and is packaged in Bisphenol A-leaching plastic bottles which will still be on this planet in thousands of years in garbage dumps. (AND remember, your government APPROVES all of this stuff courtesy of the FDA who is staffed by ex-Execs of big Pharm and Big Farming and Chemical companies.)Let's not forget the toxins that your government puts into your food and water, such as the fluoride in drinking water (which is of course, highly toxic), and the supposedly 'safe' insecticides they spray over populated areas under the guise of eliminating pests. Filter your water and get rid of heavy metals, arsenic, fluoride, mercury, chromium 6, and much much more. Your 'government' won't do it for you, I promise you. They'll give you plenty of info about 'acceptable levels', but that just tells you that they don't want to do what it takes to do it right.I've been on Wiley for 3 yrs as has my husband. He said he NEVER felt this good, even as a 20 year old (and he's 60 now). And I certainly feel fabulous as well at 56. BUT we don't depend on Wiley for our total wellness. We continue to educate ourselves on every part of what it takes for a healthy lifestyle and healthy thinking. We do not take ANY prescription drugs whatsoever, have good blood pressure numbers, and good cholesterol numbers, no diabetes, average weight and a very hot and active sex life. We think young, act young, and enjoy our lives. Not only are we on Wiley, we are involved in very detailed supplementation that targets the CAUSE of problems, and doesn't just mask symptoms. And that's where you need the right WELLNESS practitioner to help you to test for deficiencies and to help direct you to healthy solutions.Like TS Wiley, our personal experience has been that the drug companies ARE corrupt, that the NIH is run by idiots, FDA is a shill for their benefactors (the pharmaceutical companies, Cargil and other factory farming operations, and chemical companies that have sold municipal water suppliers a bill of goods for fluoride for half a century). My estimate is that 98% of doctors are too lazy or inept (and too focused on billing) to do their own research are perpetuating the problems with health in this country. These "medical experts" are STILL spewing the garbage and totally flawed results from the discontinued NIH study, the FDA and writing articles every day online posing as experts. That shows you how much the medical geniuses in our society really know. (And you can't forget the corrupt relationship between these supposed 'healers' and Big Pharm.)I suggest every woman consider this. If it's for you and if you are willing to truly do the right thing, then great! Get the book and make your own decisions. I think you'll enjoy the results. If you want to continue your sedentary, toxic life style(s), then I recommend you don't even bother with this book. It's not a magic pill that will make all things right in your world. BUT as we found, it's the first step in designing your own program for the rest of your life.I want to add that I do not feel it's my purpose in life to go out and push the Wiley agenda. I'm not an evangelist. It's not my job to make anyone else healthy. There are plenty of theoretically intelligent people out there who refuse to educate themselves, and refuse to make important decisions for their own lives, and who instead go whining to doctors to 'heal me' when indeed, doctors never want to do any 'healing'. They want to alleviate your symptoms, collect their fee, make you go away and thus prescribe drugs with horrid side effects. It's up to every individual to make their personal choices, and to take personal responsibility for one's choices.I encourage everyone to take personal responsibility for their own wellness, do their own research, make their own decisions and stop expecting others to 'fix' what's wrong.
