"This is the decade for alternative healing. This is the fastest growing medical field today, at a time when the conventional system is undergoing radical transformation to a more impersonal bureaucratic quagmire. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own health. The conventional system has little to offer PMS and endometriosis or addiction. Woman Heal Thyself is a major step forward for all womankind. I suspect that some will try its principles to forbid pregnancy! More power to you."

"Because the medical establishment often exploits women and has created a menopause industry today, I am delighted that Jeanne Elizabeth Blum has written a beautiful book that gives women back the power and control over their bodies. Why has this knowledge been kept from us for so long? To realize that with a bit of massage women can take power and control over our own bodies is exciting. We women have needed this knowledge for a long time. No longer will the medical establishment have control over our bodies. Healing was always meant to be simple and natural and you are showing us how. Thank you for writing this liberating and well needed book. Good job, well done! "

"Woman Heal Thyself is an extraordinarily important book because Jeanne Blum has combined the wisdom of Oriental Medicine, the acupressure points that control the energy flow in all parts of the body and has focused this healing knowledge specifically on the health and emotional problems of contemporary women. In particular this can provide answers via the 24 Forbidden Pregnancy Points to such dis-ease as PMS and menopause. Jeanne Blum writes with such clarity about her particular Systemª that this will become and an essential help for women's' thinking and being in the 90s.

"Your hands radiate a warmth and healing power that I have never experienced from massage before. Without getting into the metaphysical, if one is capable of reaching an out-of-body experience, then I can only imagine that what I felt might aptly describe that state. Your total involvement in your work brings your powers to an art form. You are blessed. Thank you for sharing that blessing."
