Summary: Incorrect Customer Testiment!
Review: I am writing in regards to the customer who commented on this book and did NOT know what they were talking about! The customer's "A Reader" comment was "Do NOT trust anything you read in this book. HRT kills women!" My best guess is that this customer did NOT read this book, or if they had, they at least didn't understand it. Traditional HRT DOES kill women. The natural hormone replacement therapy discussed in this book is NOT the synthetic hormone replacement therapy which can and does create illnesses in many women. The Natural Hormone Therapy (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) does not cause illness, rather it causes well being that fights illness! The hormone replacement therapy discussed in this book mimics our own natural hormones and actually replaces lost hormones and keeps our hormones balanced. It is people like these who have their defenses raised so much that they cannot allow themselves to learn about new medicine and new ideas. I just hope no one is paying attention to this kind of ignorance! But, I know that people do,which is often the problem in relaying new and great information. Luckily, it seems obvious that most women who are learning about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy are excited and thrilled and are spreading the news word of mouth. Thank Goodness! I am only 27 years old, but by the time I reach menopausal age, I know that this literal cure of menopause and andropause (male menopause)will be the average treatment for all who are aging and losing hormone balance. Probably even within a handful of years! Some things that come with this new era really are GREAT!

Summary: Concrete and Detailed
Review: I will add my voice of acclaim for this valuable book. I was looking for someone who could tell me what the symptoms were of too little estrogen, too little progesterone, too much progesterone, etc. and could not find that information anywhere on the internet. Lab tests are expensive, often inaccurate, and ultimately irrelevant if you have "normal" values but are still experiencing symptoms. Dr. Reiss explains in wonderful detail what various symptoms mean and what hormones to take, when and how, and where to get them. There are sections for women approaching menopause as well as in the middle of it and all the way through it. He shares a tremendous wealth of experience!My first impression was that he was perhaps a "fringe" doctor, one of those who think they've solved some common problem but they can't get other doctors to listen to them. But the more I read, the more I became convinced that he really knows what he's talking about and has solid research studies to back up his opinions. And my doctor was the one who recommended his book. I'm sure his approach will become more and more mainstream in the next few years. I have been recommending this book to all my perimenopausal and menopausal friends and they have been as excited by it as I am.

Summary: What an eye-opener!
Review: This book has not only cleared up my confusion --and fears -- about hormone replacement but has given me the step-by-step guidance and confidence to self-adjust my hormones. I wish this book had been available before. Every doctor who prescribes hormone replacement to patients should read this book...and so should every woman considering taking hormones.

Summary: Regain control over your physical and mental health
Review: This book is a must for any woman looking to take control of her health and well-being. I found myself, at 43, suddenly suffering from severe mood swings and debilitating depression during the latter half of my cycle, despite exercise and dietary changes. A friend of mine had recently been advised by her naturopath to read this book when she sought treatment for depression. I followed Dr. Reiss' supplement recommendations for PMS and noticed relief within a week (he states it could take several months to notice results.) My doctor's normal course of treatment for my symptoms would have been to prescribe SSRI's but she agreed to give the natural progesterone a shot. We are both pleased with the results. I am no longer dreading the hormonal changes that lie ahead- with Dr. Reiss's information, most women should be able to navigate middle age with ease.

Summary: Should be Required Reading for Women and MDs
Review: This down-to-earth, practical guide is for women of *all* ages, not just those of us facing a health crisis or lifestage turning point. It is such a relief to know that many chronic, minor but nagging symptoms like insomnia, poor energy, water retention, forgetfulness, and that "morning fog" feeling are not imaginary, and even better, are fixable! This is truly a treasure trove of solid, useful information and easily understood guidelines. Finally, a doctor with common sense! As an animal advocate, I am especially pleased to see the truth finally told about Premarin, a multi-billion dollar industry that exploits horses for profit, and sends tens of thousands of foals to slaughter every year. Plant-derived hormones are kind to animals, and earth-friendly, too!

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful Book for Women
Review: This excellent book is truly a valuable gift for women of all ages. Easy and fascinating to read, the author clearly describes and defines the unique and wonderful (!) glandular system of women and provides priceless information about when and how to replenish hormones, with natural products, without resorting to synthetic pharmaceuticals. (Good grief! Who knew that most estrogen products are made from horse urine!?) Dr. Reiss supplies especially reassuring and useful information about menopause. This book is a keeper!
