The working womb is a book written for couples who have experienced the anguish of pregnancy failure and childlessness, as well as couples, who have experienced serious and life altering pregnancy complications. Although it is rooted deeply into scientific knowledge, it is written in a simple language understandable by most people who attended a few grades of education, but it is equally valuable to physicians caring for women of reproductive age. The main goal of the book is to bring to the forefront the most neglected and disregarded human organ, the placenta and its life altering powers. It was not until 2015 that the NIH initiated the Human Placenta Project to bring more awareness of the value of this organ to practicing physicians and researchers alike.

The placenta, from the very first day of the embryo’s existence is the master architect of life, good and bad. Only a healthy placenta can create a healthy life. Neglected and sick placentas apply every physiological process in their power to help the most fundamental goal of nature which is, survival. Such placenta actions for the achievement of survival, however, introduce multiple distortions in the evolution of the human being to be. Such distortions affect the health of the baby from the moment of birth to the moment of life’s end. Cancer, cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke, neurological and psychiatric diseases, as well as complicated metabolic diseases (type I and type II diabetes) are caused by epigenetic alterations imposed upon our DNA and which can last for decades or even more than one generation.

This book makes a strong point that the placenta should be the center of attention and not the baby only. It is the placenta that develops first in anticipations of the baby’s needs, and encourages mothers to be, as well as physicians, to accept a paradigm shift and place placenta health under the spotlight, at least as much as the baby. We cannot add to the quality of a healthy genetic code of a baby, but we can certainly damage or even destroy a perfectly designed human being by simply ignoring the health of the placenta. The book presents real science intertwined with real life stories of my patients. Each such story illustrates and enforces the understanding of the underlying placental pathologies and demonstrates that by treating placental maladies timely, can lead to a triumphant life.

It presents the difficulties modern women face in their journeys to motherhood and discusses the antiquated and harmful guidelines of medical establishment which are seriously out of date and out of sync with the desires and needs as well as risks of contemporary mothers to be. At this level, the book uncovers the hidden and detrimental role of all health care related corporate institutions whose financial interests are at odds with the mother’s to be suffering from pregnancy failure repeatedly.

Finally, the book managed to present and illustrate some of the bleakest events in the journey to motherhood and yet, shine light and give hope by guiding mothers along the way of a successful journey, ending in the culmination of the creation of a healthy new life!!
