Oxytocin: The Hormone of Healing and Hope: The Hormone of Healing and Hope Paperback – March 1, 2012

I lost my husband, father of my young children, best friend and business partner suddenly after a short illness. I barely survived it. My oldest son went to a dark place and never got over it. Until recently I haven't been able to speak of it in any capacity. I was paralyzed with grief. This book helped me and I hope it will help my son in the near future. I've used pit or oxytocin as a midwife assistant but never thought of it as a help for grief. Thank you, Dr.Stoller for your touching and very personal book. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm grateful you shared your story and what helped you.. It helped me so much and I hope with all my heart that it helps my son who happens to be the same age as yours. He has been lost in grief after the loss of his Dad. Wish me luck.

Good short read on the benefits of oxytocin. My interest in oxytocin is how sexual activity can relieve pain. The author touched on the subject as well as treatments for other sexual problems but more is said about its benefits in treating autism.

Very interesting book. Wish it had more Info though. It's a very short read with info to contact the Dr for appointments, but his email doesn't work.

This is absolutely the best brain food (Essential Amino Acids) product on the market. Step aside shrinks, your brain-damaging meds are no longer needed. Oxytocin iis a natural hormone brain food and is particularly helpfeel for ADHD and mania energized bipolar brains. I should know, I have been that way all mywhole life and have had a tough time living in a 8 to 5 unipolar world, like all bipolar geniuses do! Oxytocin for a bipolar's brain is like a great mechanic tuning up a super hot rod just before the race. So which rod will win the race? My bet is on the one tuned up with oxytocin versus the other rod rod with only half as many cylinders.

My wife likes the change I seem to exhibit at breakfast after Oxytocin before bed. The effect is subtle. It does seem to 'mellow out'the general attitude of this usually grouchy breakfast partner. I am not aware of any change socially.

If you know nothing about oxytocin this is the book for you. It gives a brief overview of oxytocin, conditions related to a deficiency of oxytocin and where to go if you are interested in trying oxytocin along with dosing instructions. The author of the book also does phone and office consults and references other sites that may be of interest for people dealing with various medical issues. I plan on contacting the author regarding a phone consult...oxytocin sounds like something that may help with my anti-aging program!

I thought this was a book but it is more a pamphlet. I suppose that is why it is called "chapter one"! It will most likely be a chapter is a larger edition. Information was ok, but I was looking for more. A very easy quick read. I would prefer to spend my money on something with more information.
