Abstract:
An invaluable guide to coping with painful varicose veins using the body's own healing tools. At age 18 the author, a world-class skater, suffered a catastrophic accident to her legs. She was told she'd never walk again. A year later, using a personal regimen of physical therapy, she was skating with the renowned Ice Capades. But after her career on the ice came pain and varicose veins. Starting in her kitchen instead of a physician's office, she experienced remarkable improvements using a scientific diet and special exercises. At 68, she now tells how she made this medical triumph over varicose veins in this book, an expanded version of a wildly popular brochure she published in 1990 (Natural Care of Varicose Veins). Her prescription? Startling truths about dietary effects, time-tested exercises (illustrated with photographs) and lots of Facts -- not theories.
