"I recommend this book to all my patients with this problem.

It contains everything you could ever want or need to know about a topic no one likes to talk about.

From a doctor's point of view, half the problem treating any below-the-waist complaint, is getting patients to overcome their embarrassment of discussing it.

If you can't talk about it, reading about it will go a long way in helping you - and there is no better book I have found than this."

Dr Michael De Luca, ND      Sydney, Australia

"This book is obviously the product of many years of research combined with Janet's first-hand experience in the treatment of hemorrhoids.

It offers invaluable information for anyone - from mild cases to those contemplating surgery.

It will help you understand why you have this complaint, what you can do to help yourself - and the simple, common-sense advice has the potential to greatly improve your health, in many ways."

Dr Robert Rampling       Canberra, Australia 

"I review hundreds of health-related books, and this is certainly the best to come along on this much-neglected subject.

"It's well-written, no waffle, just sensible advice on how to fix your problem quickly and, more importantly, permanently.

"It offers a multi-tiered approach which I am sure could not fail to cure your hemorrhoids, but also greatly improve your overall health.

Thankfully, I don't have hemorrhoids, but I'm using some of the advice for other aspects of my health, and had noticeable results.

Amber Georgiou, Journalist          Sydney, Australia

"For many years, I have been wishing someone would write an easy-to-read, accurate and effective book about hemorrhoids and their treatment.

This is it. It should be compulsory reading for everyone - if you don't have hemorrhoids, it should stop you ever getting them. And if you do, it should give you much-needed relief.

This book is based on the premise that 'prevention is better than cure' and that is really the only 'cure' to this problem."

Helen Caporaso, Dietitian        Freemantle, Western Australia

"There are very few books available about hemorrhoids. Of those I have read, many contain misleading advice based on the anecdotes of friends and the like.

This is a truly well-researched book, which will give many insights into this problem, and help solve many others.

I was surprised when I read about the relationship between 'piles' and the heart and other organs - it's something they don't teach you at university, yet it makes perfect sense. It has the potential to save you from serious health issues. I've completely changed many of my habits as a consequence of reading this book."

Russell Broadbent, Naturopath           Adelaide, Australia

"For 20 years I had hemorrhoids.

I also spent most of that time with black circles under my eyes - something doctors told me was 'normal'.

I tried most everything the pharmacy has to offer for my hemorrhoids, and so many vitamin and nutritional supplements for my 'black eyes'.

None of them had any effect - only a severe dent on my wallet.

I heard about your book on TV and bought it to do something about my hemorrhoids, so I was surprised when I read about the link between my digestive system and the circles under my eyes.

After six weeks of following your plan, I have no sign of piles and the blackness under my eyes has completely gone.

I would never have believed either of these things was possible.

Everyone tells me how much younger I look, and I feel so much better.

To be honest, I had forgotten how it looks and feels to be healthy, until I followed your book."

Suzannah Dean                 Sydney, Australia 

"Your book was really empowering. After years of trying to 'manage' this problem, I was actually able to find out why I got them in the first place (something doctors never told me in enough detail).

From there, I've been able to make a few simple modifications that have not only cured me of hemorrhoids but made me healthier in general. This was a really valuable book for me."

R.L.          Victoria, Australia

"I know this might sound silly. Maybe I'm just too vain, shy or old-fashioned, but there was no way I was exposing my rear end to a doctor, or going to the pharmacy or health shop to ask for a hemorrhoid treatment.

I was simply just too embarrassed, so for me your book was really a saviour. I wish I had it years ago. I can't believe how quickly I got relief - i mean like overnight - they've never returned and I don't worry about it anymore because if they do, I know exactly what to do.

It's taken so much stress out of my life."

Stacey M                     Melbourne, Australia

"My piles were flaring up every few weeks. All the creams and other stuff weren't really helping much and I was worried about using the stronger ones.

"My sex life was really suffering. It was too painful and I was embarrassed that my husband would see them bulging out. He didn't understand why I didn't want sex and I was too embarrassed to tell him I had piles. It was becoming a real issue in our marriage.

Well, I used your rescue treatment, followed the other steps and I've only had one flare-up since - my fault and I know exactly why it happened, but I knew how to quickly put a stop to it.

Janet, I know it might sound over the top to say you saved my marriage, but I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't found your book."

H.K.        Sydney, Australia

"This is my story: Four or five times a year I would have a hemorrhoid attack. Veins bulging outside of my bottom, couldn't push them back in. Creams completely useless - tried everything the chemist had to offer. Sitz baths a waste of time.

Couldn't sleep because of the pain. Couldn't think because of the pain. Couldn't do anything because of the pain. Really, it was the end.
It would last about 15 days. Each time I would think - don't worry, they won't come back again.
Of course, they would (for about 10 years).

Heard about your book on the radio, and bought it immediately.

What a relief.
First up, I used your "rescue" treatment, which shrunk them by about half overnight and then completely over the next two days. Then I followed the preventative steps and that was it - nothing more for three years.

Would never have believed something so simple (and cheap) could be so effective.

I can recommend this book to anyone, it's worth gold."

P. McCoy       Tasmania, Australia

" I was 73 last month and thought there was no hope of doing anything about my hemorrhoids at my age.

I saw your book on TV, so I thought it was worth a try - the cost was only a couple of tubes of cream, which never did much good anyway.

Even in the first 10 minutes of doing the 'rescue' treatment, I felt relief. Everyday I got a little better. It took about three weeks for them to go completely - not bad considering I have had them for at least 40 years.

It's such a relief to be finally free of this problem. As I've got older, I worried about who would look after this for me if I found myself incapacitated -  it's a big relief not to have to worry about it anymore."

P.L.      Western Australia

"The best book I've read on this subject, and probably one of the most useful health books I've read in ages.

There's so much information, most of which I've never read elsewhere.

For example, the facts about heart disorders and their relationship with hemorrhoids, really scared me into revising my habits and lifestyle.

This book is extremely well-researched and has the potential to prolong your life."

Julie Stevens, Medical Journalist       Sydney, Australia 

"For so many years, I was caught up with all the problems of trying to use laxatives to cure my hemorrhoids.

Now I understand why it wasn't really working  - and, in fact, was probably making it worse.

Since I started following your program I have hardly had any problems, feel much better, no more bowel discomfort or pain.

I've seen many doctors over the years and none of them ever gave me this information."

Mrs L. Young       Brisbane, Australia

"I had minor hemorrhoids - maybe once or twice a year - a bit of bleeding and discomfort, sometimes a vein popping out a little, a bit itchy now and then. Nothing major but because my mum had them really bad (she ended up having four not-very-successful operations) and she started just like I did, I was always scared mine would get like hers if I didn't get them under control early.

Thankfully, I didn't need your emergency measures, but I am doing all the preventative things you said. I'm not itchy anymore, no more bleeding and going to the toilet was never easier - so it looks to me like they're gone.
I feel much better knowing I am doing everything I can to keep myself healthy and prevent the problem, instead of relying on doctors and drugstores.

Julie W.        Queensland, Australia

"I know I'm in a very small minority, but it doesn't bother me to tell the world: I had hemorrhoids for 30 years.

But I'm very happy to say: Not anymore and never again.

After reading your book, I've been hemorrhoid-free for almost two years - which is amazing because I didn't think this was possible.
I hope you make your book available outside Australia because it really is a life-saviour."

Peter Lewis,    Sydney, Australia

"My specialist recommended banding. I told a friend who had hemorrhoids from her pregnancy. She raved about your book, so I thought: Why not, nothing to lose.

I'll be honest and say I didn't think it could have worked so well or so fast and I thought they must be in there still, hiding and waiting for a chance to come back.

I saw my specialist about a month later  -  he genuinely couldn't believe it.
He told me he couldn't find any evidence of hemorrhoids.

He asked me what I did and I told him about your treatment.
He said: "That will put me out of business," and made it sound like a joke. But I'll bet he hasn't recommended it to any of his patients.

Thanks, Janet, your book saved me from surgery."
