Summary: A Message to the Cynic Colleen ¿R.N., Ph.D.¿
Review: I happen to be an M.D. Your review is unethical, unfounded, and if this is the best you can provide with all of your so-called expertise, stay out of practicing medicine, and get a job for the Enquirer.
This book brings a most beneficial breakthrough for women and men, and you can be rest assured, it was written with exhaustive research that concur with the latest advances in medicine, along with the findings of highly trained Doctor's who are well knowledgeable in this field. You are NOT one of them.
This is well researched book for all who desire safe rejuvenation during the mid-life years. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Message to Naysayer Colleen "R.N."
Review: To Colleen R.N, "Ph.D"...learn how to spell menopause correctly, and we may take your ridiculous post seriously....on second thought, probably not...I'd rather read the interviews of doctors who ARE knowledgeable about bio-identical hormones.

This is a great book and a great service to women.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: This is a book that never should have been published. There are too many misinterpretations about estrogen and menapause to delineate here, but stay clear of this approach if you value your health and and hope to live a long time. The subject matter is clearly over the author's head.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cute take on serious issue. Blessed Health is better.
Review: I like the cute phrasing Ms. Summers uses for some things she describes, but as a nurse I still llike medical advice from health care professionals. It's strange how celebrities feel they can write about scientific, medical information. I'm not a star struck person (sorry, SS). I find the book Blessed Health to give me a really good review of menopause, and what to do about it, and what not to do. there's medical and holistic recommendations, herbal remedies and the like since I didn't want to take more estrogen. The book says african/american but so what. I'm white and learned a lot from it. It doesn't deal so much with the sexy stuff but good health advice for women. Someone gave me that book when serious illness struck my family and I read all the spiritual sections. Comforting stuff in a time of crisis. Menopause and family stress all at one time! I needed spiritual relief. Northup's books(Wisdom)are good too for menopause info. They're both on Amazon. Maybe get all three, Somers, Blessed Health and Northrup and pick and choose what works best for you. Healthy reading. Stamp out hot flashes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not the best advice
Review: While Ms. Somers should be commended for trying to offer women advice regarding their health, the information in this book is sorely lacking some VERY important information.
First of all, any woman with breast cancer who chooses to use estrogen should not be writing a book about women's wellbeing.
Secondly, the "cutting edge" doctors of today do no use the estridiol hormone alone any longer, they use another estrogen which is breast protective.
There are many other tests, aside from hormone levels, which need to be done and supplements that "cutting edge" and mainstream doctors are suggesting to prevent estrogen from causing estrogen related cancers.
You just don't take hormones so you can feel "sexy" and young and I just think this book missed the mark.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Research for Health, Vitality and Radiance. Excell
Review: Suzanne Somers has brought women (and men) wonderful insight and answers to rejuvenate the greatest years of our lives with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. This pivotal solution brings new hope for those who feel decreased sex drive, hot flashes, along with the host of other symptoms that our bodies show us as our natural hormonal balance decreases.
Suzanne has the courage and brains to bring us a natural way to rejuvenate, where the risk factor is minimal compared to other hormone replacement methods.
This book is a wonderful, intelligent, well-researched and sincere read that gives the answers to maintaining our youth, just at the stage of our lives when we appreciate all of the wisdom we have gained.
An important contribution for anyone who wants to chronologically age gracefully, with the vitality, appearance, and hormones to restore our bodies' balance with the youth in our heart.
Thank you Suzanne for having the guts, brains, and heart for writing this book! You did one outstanding job!

Summary: Moviestar hocus-pocus
Review: Bio-identical hormones! If I hear that one more time, I'm gonna scream.
Why do people believe this ex-moviestar but distrust their doctors?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: L I A R
Review: Let's be truthful.
Why would I waste my time on this self-obsessed, soulless, & dishonest huckster? It's because of something she tried to get away with a few years ago. Do you know the prime ingredient in a successful magician's act? It's called misdirection. Ms. Somers was caught exiting the office of a plastic surgeon. Rather than being up-front & admitting to her desire to use "any means necessary" to beat nature's & gravity's affects upon the body, she concocts a story about breast cancer.
Yep, that's right. A "story". Pure fiction. Never was.
And to compound this folly, she said that she was treating herself with "natural remedies." Of course, she couldn't risk exposure by reputable physicians. And she had fellow huckster Larry King to help shovel this mess around.
Those in the know wondered how she would get out of this one.
It must be great having a team of writers in your employ (plus the ever-present doting/drooling Larry King), but she did it. It took a year or two, but very quietly, almost off-handedly, the story was out there that the "cancer" was gone.
Folks, this is a woman who will do anything to keep her face & name right at the top of everyone's B-list. Why be a party to it?

PS: Larry King need not reply.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's about time!
Review: I have been on bioidentical hormones (estriol, progesterone and testosterone) for nearly four years, after a complete hysterectomy due to early stage encapsulated ovarian cancer in 2001. I feel great, have lots of energy, great skin, no mood swings, no cancer recurrence, etc. I work for a compounding pharmacy and we were delighted to see Suzanne's book. We give monthly seminars to women re BHRT, and our class size jumped from about five to ten per month to 35! It's about time that the general public was given the opportunity to learn about the availability and safety of bioidenticals. We disagree with Suzanne about the estrogen she takes (we would recommend estriol instead of estradiol for her, since she has had cancer) and we do not bring menstrual periods back for our patients unless they request it (we believe menopause is natural). We also insist on saliva tests to determine hormone levels, not blood tests, but we are grateful to her for opening the door and letting women know about this important subject. These women will do more reading on the subject and eventually approach their doctors. Eventually the doctors will have to do their own reading just to keep up with their patients. Suzanne will save many lives with this information, and just for that she is one of my heroes. Thank you, thank you, Suzanne Somers! When my daughter reaches 35, she will have much better choices and Suzanne will be one of the reasons she does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IMPORTANT Reading For Adults- Women & Men
Review: AWESOME! The amount of time and research dedicated to hormones and the aging process. Thank you for sharing with us, Suzanne! I am only 31, but found this so inspiring. Seeing so many struggling with menopause and little answers. This book shows many options available to you, and many contacts to get more information. This is your life and health. Why not be more informed?
