A new beginning at 45 July 24, 2008
I am 45 years old. I was diagnosed with osteopenia three years ago. I was scared. I followed my doctor's advice by adding more calcium in my diet including supplements and doing more exercises. I was so motivated I stuck with the diet and exercise regiment all the way through. Just this May, I missed my period and I have alway been regular (28-30 days). My first thought was, could this be the onset of menopause which could mean more bone loss for me. I had not had another bone scan since the first one I had three years ago. I did not want to know. I figured as long as I was doing my best to stay healthy and live longer, that was my measure for success. I was four days past my period due date. I was told to rule out pregnancy before anything else. I bought a home test kit and was shocked to see a positive line. I did another test thinking it was a mistake, but it showed the same line again. I am going on my fifth month of pregnancy. My genetic testing for the first trimester came out negative for Down Syn, Tri 13 & 18. Blood test and fetus measurements passed and my age equivalent is that of a 34 year old. We are very happy although we didn't plan it. We have one biological son who is 11 years old. Always wanted another one, tried adoption but decided not to go thru it. I am an older mother but this just proves that thru simple changes in our lifestyle, we can make leaps and bounds in our lives like we never imagined. This book has helped me significantly. Through my religious faith and following the guidelines of the YOU books, I know I can have a happier, longer life along side my family.
 You, the Owner's Manual July 15, 2008
I find " You, the Owner's Manual" to be a valuable tool for us ordinary folks. It explains the human body in the simplest terms so that I can really understand how our amazing bodies work. I would recommend it to anyone and have.
Terrific! May 8, 2008
This book is just as the seller described -- LIKE NEW!!! Very happy with this purchase.
Great reference book easy reading April 26, 2008
After seeing Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen on TV I thought we'd give this book a try. I bought one for my husband and my sister. They both found the book easy to use and full of useful info. We own many other books on health related topics and have family members in health fields, but we all felt this was a great modern (current) book written in language that's easy for everyone to understand.
