Editorial Review:
Women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms and health benefits should read this controversial, provocative book first. "Advertising and research dollars are spent trying to convince women that estrogen will cure everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's," writes John R. Lee, M.D., "but there is scant evidence for any of these claims and reams of evidence that synthetic estrogens are highly toxic and carcinogenic." Lee has studied the research and concludes that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone, instead, puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites study after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises.
"Menopause as a disease has been largely fabricated by physicians and the pharmaceutical industry," says this leader of a "quiet but powerful revolution" regarding HRT. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause covers the benefits of natural progesterone, the history and politics of the medical and drug establishment, the biochemistry and dynamics of hormones and how they get out of balance, and how to prevent hormone imbalance and stay healthy. Lee empowers you to ask hard questions of your doctor. Highly recommended. --Joan Price
Here is a practical and resourceful guide that focuses on the effective, scientifically proven, natural alternative to current therapies used in combating the effects of menopause. This invaluable volume also contains a complete, non-prescription "hormone balance" program for optimal health, which lists foods, supplements, and herbs that can be used to balance a woman's hormones.

Rating:  - Careful people.....
Please remember that when it comes to hormone balance, there is no one size fits all approach. Each person has a unique hormone blueprint and would be wise to find a competent physician, trained in hormone balance, with clinical experience, who can TEST your hormones, help you achieve balance, and keep you safe. Hormone balance is a delicate matter, and each hormone affects others.

As others have commented here, such books will give you very important, and unique, health information to assist you to make the best decisions for your midlife health.

Rating:  - Hesitant to recommend
I have worked in the health food and the medical fields. I have seen the "miracle cure alls" come and go. This book seems to say that using Progesterone is a super cure to all womanly woes. Having had womanly woes, I tried using progesterone for my endometriosis. It was not a cure-all. I'm sure that it helps some women, but be wary of putting all your faith in it.
Rating: - Excellent work - you must read carefully
As a professional health specialist I have read extensively about natural progesterone cream and hormones since my diagnosis of breast cancer in 2001 and have been using it since that time instead of the drugs and radiotherapy recommended by my doctors. Dr Lee's work is remarkable but you must read carefully otherwise you will be under misapprehensions like some of these other reviewers who are still making mistakes about the difference between natural progesterone and synthetic progestins! They are ... Read More
