Bereits im Jahre 2005 habe ich erste Ermittlungen über die so genannte "erblich bedingte" Glatzenbildung aufgenommen. Eine genaue Ursache zu ermitteln, die über das "erblich bedingt" hinausgeht, gestaltete sich zunächst schwierig. Doch durch das Erscheinen neuer Studien und immer mehr Erfahrungsberichten aus aller Welt, änderte sich das in den letzten Jahren. Wir verstehen jetzt, wie die Glatze entsteht. Es ist ein degenerativer Prozess aus Verkalkung und Vernarbung, dem Entzündungsprozesse vorausgehen und in einer starken Durchblutungsstörung und Sauerstoffmangel mündet. - In diesem Buch erfahren Sie Insider-Wissen nach den neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen, von dem auch die meisten Ärzte und Heilpraktiker heute noch nichts wissen. - Was bislang wirklich geholfen hat. - Mit zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Studien, Erfahrungsberichten und Vorher-Nachher-Fotos.In diesem Buch steckt die Arbeit von fast 20 Jahren Forschung für die Ursachen der so genannten "erblich bedingten" Glatzenbildung.Beachten Sie, dass es sich in diesem Buch ausschließlich um Androgenetische Alopezie handelt, also dem so genannten "erblich bedingten" Haarausfall.Andere Arten von Haarausfall wie diffuser Haarausfall oder Alopecia-Areata, sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Buches!Starten Sie noch heute!Mit meinem neuen Sofort-Programm gegen Haarausfall- und Glatzenbildung.

Dieses Buch ist weniger ein Ratgeber oder Sachbuch, sondern ein Erfahrungsbericht eines Frauenarztes, der sich an seine fast 50-jährige Berufstätigkeit, sowohl in Polen als auch in Deutschland erinnert. Wenn Sie aus meinen Zeilen Rückschlüsse für sich ziehen können oder Erklärungen für die eigene Gesundheit oder Therapie finden, dann freue ich mich umso mehr.

"Melanie Verwoerd is wise, funny and brutally honest; this is a book for women of all ages who face a crucial challenge in life. Her journey through her hysterectomy is a lesson in resilience and feminine spirit. I wish Melanie would have been near when I was most broken and scared. I promise that you will not be able to put her book down!">"I devoured this book. Truly, the work of an artist and a creator.">"Wow! I didn't want to put this book down.... It's like sipping a warmtea, comforting and funny and relatable and raw. I LOVED IT!">"I'm a very level-headed person," Melanie Verwoerd told the gynaecological oncologist. "However, I feel like my dogs during a thunderstorm. I'm desperately trying to find somewhere to hide, but everywhere I go, it is still there." A week earlier, another gynaecologist had paused mid-sentence during a routine ultrasound examination. Something big was wrong. Blood tests showed elevated tumour markers and scans revealed a huge ovarian tumour with at least a 70% chance of being cancerous. A few days later a radical hysterectomy was performed. As the terror grew, the only way for her to make sense of what was happening was to write. This book is the brutally honest reflection of the year that followed the operation. The physical recovery was painful, messy and took much longer than expected. However, even more surprising was the deeper, soul-searching questions that the procedure brought to the fore. The physical crisis triggered an intense journey of self-reflection and discovery. It required courageous investigations of the darkest corners of her psyche and forced her to face many of the fears that had comfortably lived there for decades. It also threw a spotlight on the relationship she - and many women - have with their bodies, sex, money as well as the role of intergenerational trauma. In the process, Melanie also had to come to terms with the rage, pain and grief of the hysterectomy specifically and many other losses in general, whilst investigating what she wanted to do with the second part of her life. Although this book was triggered by a hysterectomy, it is not intended just for those who have had or are going to have a similar experience. It is also meant for every woman who comes to a crossroad and has to reassess her life. Although it is brutally honest, it is also hope giving, and insists that women's voices be heard. Melanie Verwoerd is a former Member of the South African Parliament, former South African Ambassador to Ireland, and was the ExecutiveDirector of UNICEF Ireland. She is a published author, columnist and top-rated political analyst from Cape Town. Her bestselling memoir, When We Dance, was published in 2012.

The New Psychological Approach to Unlocking the Baby in You This Conceiving Conception Workbook offers infertility therapy to those who are either suffering with unexplained infertility, miscarriage, IVF failures or are in need of IVF support.Infertility affects as many as 1 in 7 couples worldwide. Increasingly, solutions are sought in nutrition, reducing stress, eliminating harmful toxins, charting ovulation and, for many couples, artificial reproductive techniques like IVF and hormone treatments. But if the effects of infertility are deeply psychological and emotional, couldn't the causes be, too?Psychologist Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley has spent her career counselling women and couples experiencing unexplained infertility, and she has found that most solutions neglect one of the most powerful parts of the body: the mind. From past beliefs that it's 'wrong' to get pregnant to trauma from your own childhood and undiscovered anxieties surrounding childbirth and parenthood, she advocates a radical, therapy-based solution to fertility problems that delves into the subconscious. This workbook looks at what might be holding you back from getting the very thing you desire the most.... a baby, and helps you change the deeply subconscious attitudes you have towards conception. Warm, supportive, and without blame; just like a personal counselling session, this workbook provides you with real-world therapeutic techniques tailored to you - just like having a therapist with you.
