Reviews
“This is a groundbreaking collection of evidence that will have far reaching implications, and far beyond PCOS. This book does not only provide the evidence, it also gives practical advice on dealing with the nutritional consequences of a “pro-inflammatory” lifestyle. “ <B>- Dr Steven van der Merwe, MBChB (Stell); B. Nutrition (Stell); Cert Oncolology, Newcastle, UK; Nelson Mandela University, South Africa</B>
“Annchen Weidemann has transformed the traditional understanding I had of PCOS. Her extensive research explores, how through a change in diet, the syndrome can be addressed more powerfully through nutritional means. This is a thought provoking approach, and has for me completely changed the way that l will manage PCOS patients in future, and to not just rely on medication. The author has succeeded in bringing theory and practice together in a way which should speak to any reader that has or deals with this syndrome.” <B>- Dr. Susan Annandale, University of Pretoria, Former HOD Paediatrics, 1 Military Hospital, SAMHS/SANDF; Private practice, Western Cape, South Africa</B>
