Editorial Reviews: Product Description Eighty million Americans suffer from venous problems. The bad news is that vein disease is progressive, so if it’s mild and simply unattractive, it could progress to severe. The good news is that treatment is available and preventative measures may help stop the progression. As a nurse educator, writer and consultant, Mary T. Johnson, R.N. is an advocate for those who suffer from this condition and from a lack of good, clearly written, well-researched information on the subject. Get Rid of the Blues is for the millions of people who think there is no way to prevent varicose and spider veins and for those who think they have to live with them. Get the answers to your questions in plain, easy-to-understand language. You will learn: 1. top tips for preventing varicose veins 2. lifesaving tips for preventing blood clots when you fly 3. why varicose veins may be the first sign of pregnancy 4. one of the best kept secrets for preventing vein disease 5. eight things you must know before having laser treatment 6. what effect high impact aerobics and weight lifting has on veins 7. seven things you can do to prolong the life of your stockings 8. eleven questions to ask when shopping for medical treatment

August 25, 2002 5 out of 8 found this review helpful I HAD ALL, YES ALL, OF MY SPIDER VIENS REMOVED BY A BEVERLY HILLS COSMETIC DERMOTOLOGIST 5 YEARS AGO WITH THE NEEDLE/SALINE SOLUTION FOR MY LEGS AND LAZER FOR MY FACE. ALL OF THE VEINS ARE BACK!! IN THE SAME PLACE, JUST AS BAD. I THINK I WILL SAVE MY MONEY AND NOT TRY THAT AGAIN!! I only wish I'd read this sooner... December 2, 2001 5 out of 5 found this review helpful For a tiny book, this packs a wallop of information. I work in the medical field and have been searching for answers to my questions about varicose and spider veins for a long time. I was pretty surprised to learn that the doctors and nurses I work with were as ignorant as I was! The next step was the medical library. I searched for a book--and all I came up with were medical texts the size of phone books and filled with medical jargon. Being in the medical field, I understand the jargon but I really didn't want to wade through it to get the information I needed. Then I found Get Rid of the Blues on the web. What I like most about it is that the author did tons of research (from those boring books I didn't want to read!) and boiled it down to a "cut-to-the-chase" primer. Thank you, Mary Johnson, for writing this book. I can't begin to tell you what a difference it's made for me. A MUST READ if you have varicose veins! June 5, 2001 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I can't say enough about this book! It is so easy to understand, yet packed with solid, science-based information. Thanks for a great read! This is the book I've been searching for! May 17, 2001 louise (Oak Glen, CA USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This is the book I've been searching for! It helped me determine what I needed to do for my problem and find competent professional treatment. It also has a great section on prevention and diet. Finally, I can wear shorts again! Great Buy April 16, 2001 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Not only does this book tell you what you should do once you get varicose veins in order to get rid of them but it tells you how to prevent them. Because it is so well written, everyone can understand this book. And everyone should own this book! Showing reviews 1-5 of 9 1 2 Next »
