From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Polla Paras One has to take this compendium with a grain of salt (which is not ingested). It lists aging as a disorder; menopause as a degenerative disease; and while it wisely advises the elimination of processed foodstuff， it rather recklessly prescribes a mountain of processed， albeit natural， pills， potions and powders. However， used as a guide (and not a prescription as its title boasts)， this is a superb repair and maintenance manual for most of what ails humanity internally. From AIDS to yeast infections， from observable chicken pox to the spectral symptoms of depression， it offers valid treatments and cures for bodies gone amok from imbalances and invaders.
