Books

I was fortunate to find great support groups, biomed forums, doctors, therapists from the start to get the much needed support as well as ideas and guidance to move forward in the healing journey. But on top of all that I and my husband read a lot of books. They have helped us immensely to understand the world we live in, mistakes we did in the past and how to move forward in the right direction. I have listed some of them here and a brief summary of what is each one about.
