Acclaim: Praise for The Whole Pregnancy Handbook
Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (Bantam, 1998) and The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, 2001) "As a father of five I wish my wife and I had Joel Evans' book available to us when we were going through some difficult times. We learned the hard way, from experience, but readers of Evans' book can learn from his wisdom and the extensive information his book contains. I know from experience when you combine the readers' inspiration with the available information the results will exceed expectations." Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Help Me To Heal and 365 Prescriptions For The Soul "Finally, prospective parents will now have a comprehensive and informative pregnancy resource written by a respected physician who is a leader in combining the best of modern medicine with safe and effective holistic practices." Irwin R. Merkatz, MD "This is by far the most comprehensive book available on becoming pregnant and carrying through to a healthy childbirth. Dr. Evans has left no topic uncovered, and his breadth and depth of knowledge is matched by only by his unique ability to integrate high-tech medicine and natural health approaches. Whether you are easily pregnant or struggling with fertility issues, this book will guide you gently and wisely through the whole process." Martin L. Rossman, MD, Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, author of Preparing for Childbirth and Guided Imagery for Self-Healing "The Whole Pregnancy Handbook is one of the best prenatal guides available. It presents pregnancy as a fulfilling, natural life process instead of a medical problem. This is integrative healthcare at its best." Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words "Every OB/GYN and pregnant woman should use this book as their reference for all aspects of pregnancy. It is a comprehensive, well-researched, and easy to read book on everything one needs to know in order to have a healthy pregnancy. It is the ideal book for obstetricians to give to their pregnant patients as a reference guide... it is an amazing body of work!" Judith Balk, MD MPH, Assistant Professor, University of Pittsburgh, Magee-Womens Hospital "A tour de force! Everything the pregnant woman needs to know to optimize her health and the health of her baby. I especially like the stories of real patient experiences. Dr. Evansís effective integration of conventional and natural medicine provides comprehensive, authoritative guidance." Joe Pizzorno, ND, President Emeritus, Bastyr University; Co-Author, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine "We have needed the book The Whole Pregnancy Handbook authored by Dr. Joel Evans for several years. The information surrounding how to optimize the outcome of pregnancy for the baby and mother has been exponentially growing the past decade. The problem has been making this information accessible and able to be easily. Dr. Evans who is both Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology as well as an expert in integrative medicine has captured the latest information on how to improve the outcome of pregnancy, and the delivery to the reader of this message in a manner that is readily applicable. On behalf of the many doctors and their patients that will value from this book I applaud Dr. Evans efforts." Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., Chairman, Institute for Functional Medicine "I learned so much while skimming and skimming again through The Whole Pregnancy Handbook that I'll recommend it to pregnant women and health professionals as well." Michel Odent, MD, author of Birth Reborn and The Caesarean "The Whole Pregnancy Handbook is a wonderful gift for women. Dr. Evans has created a goldmine of information, practical and comprehensive."
