Rating: Summary: Highly Recmmended Review: As the founder and faciltator of one of the most popular menopause support groups on America Online and the Internet, I highly recommend Dr. John Lee's "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" to any woman who's approaching, IN or post-menopausal. It's replete with invaluable information about natural progesterone and the entire estrogen dominance theory. The best way to treat your menopausal issues is to empower yourself by educating yourself through books by experts such as Dr. Lee.Dearest, Power Surge Founder/Facilitator
Rating: Summary: A must read for premenopausal/menopausal women! Review: A most helpful "how to" book on taking charge of your own premenopausal/menopausal health. Dr. Lee addressed all of my concerns and now, after using the natural hormone cream he suggests, I am experiencing wonderful results! The text is easily read and well documented; you'll be glad you looked into this subject if you have any PSM symptoms or other hormone struggles. Snythetic estrogen is NOT the only answer!!
Rating: Summary: The "real" answer to hormone imbalances! Review: After studying natural health as a hobby for over 30 years, and acquiring a library of nearly 400 books on health, I can honestly say the information in this book is some of the most important to female (and male) health that I have ever found. Dr. Lee is making an effort to get the word out to women and physicians on the truth about why hormone imbalances are increasing in industrialized countries. A must read book with literally life saving information.

Do not leave it up to your health professional to be saavy in this area! They have been kept in the dark as well...It is our responsible to use the tools out there to educate ourselves and our doctors.
Rating: Summary: perhaps not the holy grail for all women Review: This is an interesting book with a different (and to some degree valid) point of view of hormones for women. My problem, however, is with the authors "facts" in some cases (i.e.: the authors point blank state that natural progesterone is free of side effects - as I and many other women can personally attest to, this is NOT the case; ANY hormones can potentially cause side effects given the person, timing, and whether the amount used are appropriate; and that "estrogen dominance" is generally responsible for all meno/pms symptoms). Although some of the information here is quite interesting, the authors seem to look upon natural progesterone as the "holy grail" for PMS and menopausal discomforts. Further study, however, may reveal that "estrogen dominance" is NOT responsible for every problem, nor is too little estrogen (which is unfortunately what many in the medical community believe). Both too much and too little estrogen can cause the same sort of symptoms and, in fact, you can be estrogen "dominant" at some point in your cycle, and estrogen "deficient" in another - especially during the perimenopausal years, fluctuations may be extreme. Although I think this book does bring up some good points (and natural progesterone is worth a try) it is too simplistic in it's faith in natural progesterone as the answer to every problem. Sometimes herbs or a combination of natural progesterone and natural estrogen might be a more appropriate answer. Look upon this book as a piece of information, but not the only one. Susan Love's "The Hormone Book" and Lonnie Barbach's "The Pause", Susun Weed's "Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way" (among others) also contain some good, differing information that a woman may wish to take into account when learning about hormones and possible treatments, and not take "What Your Doctor..." as the new gospel, especially reagrding the supposed long-term benefits of natural progester! one such as prevention of osteoporosis (benefits for which there is only anecdotal evidence). There is lots of information out there - get some more!
Rating: Summary: There are over 350,000 copies in print! Review: This is one of Warner's best-selling books and there are over 350,000 copies in print! John Lee has a newsletter now which you can find out about by e-mailing me, and he is giving talks all over the world. In other words, the response to this book has been tremendous, and we get 100s of letters a months from grateful women. Another book is in the works.
Rating: Summary: An essential remedy for my hysterectomy Review: I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in its early stage in Feb,97. My doctor performed the radial hysterectomy. He told me I cannot take estrogen but thinks natural progesterone is harmless. However he only checks that the surgical incisions heal ok, but made no suggestions for life after surgery. Reading about natural progesterone in this book and taking the progesterone cream is a life-saver for me. It pays for us patients to be informed and take charge of our health.
Rating: Summary: Don't wait for hot flashes, get this news while it's hot!! Review: This information should be given to every female at her first ob/gyn appointment. People asked me why I was reading a book on menopause at 33 years old. I wish I could have had this information at 18. I believed there was nothing I could do for PMS and the horrible symptoms of menopause I witnessed others go thru. READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU EVER THINK ABOUT TAKING SYNTHETIC MEDICATIONS. This is easy reading, jammed pack with the most informative information any woman can find. Read this book before going to your next yearly appointment to the ob/gyn. This information and the natural methods explained really worked for me. If you think you know your body, read this and learn the truth, and then give your ob/gyn a copy.
