Menopause Without Medicine: The Trusted Women's Resource with the Latest Informa

Description: Menopause Without Medicine by PH D. Linda Ojeda The perennial bestseller on nonmedical approaches to menopause has been updated to cover the latest findings on HRT. 32 photos. 35 tables. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is needed more than ever. The National Institute of Health interrupted their huge HRT (hormone replacement therapy) study in July 2002 after they found that Prempro, a combination of estrogen and progestin, had detrimental health effects which include an increased risk for breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. This new edition examines the latest information about HRT and the safer alternatives. It completely validates the authors long-held bias against HRT and shows women, whether perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, how they can maintain and improve their health and well-being without the use of synthetic hormones. The book offers complete information on menopausal symptoms and effects and ways to alleviate them. Updated sections cover heart disease (including hormonal effects, the role of cholesterol, diet, and supplements), osteoporosis, and breast cancer. The section on exercise and nutrition for health and weight is completely rewritten. The latest information on non-hormonal remedies to balance hormones is what is needed by every woman wanting to avoid HRT. Back Cover Linda Ojeda has long maintained that menopause is a natural stage in a womans life, not a disorder that must be "medicalized." Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1989, tens of thousands of women have used her balanced, life-affirming advice to understand, navigate and enjoy their menopausal and postmenopausal years. In every edition of the book, Dr. Ojeda has provided the latest information about conventional HRT and the safer alternatives available. In this definitive new edition she clearly explains why synthetic HRT has been found harmful and offers a wide range of alternatives. She also addresses the question of what you can do if the supplements, herbs and soy products you may be taking instead of HRT are not working. Other New Information in this Edition: * What the famous Womens Health Initiative study did and did not show. * The best HRT options for peri- and postmenopausal women. * The sometimes dangerous difference between synthetic and bioidentical natural hormones. * Types of HRT drugs available, including their trade names and generic names. * Hormone tests and nonhormonal remedies for correcting hormone imbalances.
