Must read

I have been in perimenopause for about a year now and sufferring miserably. I have been to three different Obgyn's most of whom wanted to immediately put me on some sort of hormone replacement therapy either on the pill or on heavy doses of prometrium (a progesterone steriod) or do a hysterectomy, all this without doing any testing of my hormone levels. I wanted to know if there were any natural alternatives to any of these suggestions--they bascially looked at me as if I were a nut job and said no==not that they knew of--I went in search of some answers and found Dr Lee's book. It is clear and concise and incredibly informative. It assumes the reader wants to take responsibility for her own healthcare and wants to find a doctor to partner with that has the same assumption. It gives you the information and scientific evidence for putting your body into hormonal balance naturally and through a balanced diet supplemented by vitamins herbs and exercise and supplemental hormones.It does so without the bias of alleged scientific evidence backed by self interested pharmaceutical companies. He does not endorse any company or product but he was the pioneer in promoting progesterone cream as a means to hormonal balance and makes a strong case through his own practice in terms of the benefits of this approach. There has been some confusion by other reviewers of his book about what he is promoting so I want to clear that up.He does not promote bio-identical drugs which are those that are made by pharmaceutical companies and mimic natural ingredients and need to patented by pharmeceutical companies in order to be sold. He does promote the use of progesterone cream which is not a bio-identical as defined above. Dr Carolyn Dean who has written a few books on hormonal balance does a better job of explaining this in her books, Hormone Balance and Menopause Naturally. To summarize, this book is a great introduction into the bodily and emotionally changes that women go through in their premenopausal years and how to treat these changes naturally.

A Must Read For Any Woman...

I devoured this book in 2 hours! It was very informative and also a reassuring "person" for any woman who wants to know more about premenopause and menopause. I am definately going to re-read this and highlight any area that I can use (I'm sure the book will be filled with color)! The book answered alot of my questions regarding synthetic hormones and natural progesterone.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause

This book will become my bible for the next 10 years or so. We all understand that we aren't living in an extremely healthy environment, but no one shows you what to do about it or even lets you know why the environment is harmful to us. This book explains everything and lets you know that you're not going crazy!

All about balance

The overall message in this book is that maintaining good health as the years go by, is about keeping all aspects of your life in balance. Being female and in the premenopause category as defined by the authors, I found much in the book that I as well as my close female friends could identify with, both in terms of symptoms resulting from lack of balance, and the reasons why these symptoms arise. As a physician myself, I wholeheartedly agree with the authors' stance that these symptoms arising from a lack of balance in one's life cannot be solved by radical surgery and/or prescription hormones.
The information about substances that we use every day which can disturb the delicate biochemical balance that makes us function at an optimal level, was very eye-opening, and even a little frightening. Most people are unaware of the hidden dangers in a seemingly innocuous bottle of nail polish and nail polish remover.
The recommendations made are easily within the reach of any woman who is interested in embarking on the quest for balance. Although the use of the natural hormone progesterone is advocated, the authors state very clearly that this will only work in the long run if measures to achieve balance in other aspects of one's life (e.g. diet. stress management) are also implemented at the same time. It really is all about balance in all aspects of one's life. This is a good book for women who are not satisfied with the answers and solutions proposed by conventional western medicine to their very real problems at this stage of life.
