'Approximately one in ten women in the world today is affected by endometriosis, and the number of sufferers is steadily rising. Endometriosis is the condition in which the lining of the womb grows on other organs outside of the uterus, frequently causing intolerable pain. In some cases it may lead to problems conceiving or infertility. But there is hope.

'In this important book Dian Mills and Michael Vernon describe clearly what endometriosis is, how it affects the body, the treatments that are available - both orthodox and complimentary - and, most importantly, what practical steps can be taken to push endometriosis into remission. Drawing upon years of research, they show how diet can provide the key to optimum health and can unlock a completely refreshed sense of well-being. This book includes:
