Description: **** VERY GOOD CONDITION ADULT OWNED / SMOKE FREE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE INQUIRE What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause John R Lee MD Progesterone - K1 Women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms and health benefits should read this controversial, provocative book first. "Advertising and research dollars are spent trying to convince women that estrogen will cure everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's," writes John R. Lee, M.D., "but there is scant evidence for any of these claims and reams of evidence that synthetic estrogens are highly toxic and carcinogenic." Lee has studied the research and concludes that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone, instead, puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites study after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises. "Menopause as a disease has been largely fabricated by physicians and the pharmaceutical industry," says this leader of a "quiet but powerful revolution" regarding HRT. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause covers the benefits of natural progesterone, the history and politics of the medical and drug establishment, the biochemistry and dynamics of hormones and how they get out of balance, and how to prevent hormone imbalance and stay healthy. Lee empowers you to ask hard questions of your doctor. Highly recommended. --Joan Price JOHN R. LEE, M.D. (19292003) was internationally acknowledged as a pioneer and expert in the study and use of the hormone progesterone, and on the subject of hormone replacement therapy for women. He used transdermal progesterone extensively in his clinical practice for nearly a decade, doing research which showed that it can reverse osteoporosis. Dr. Lee also famously coined the term estrogen dominance, meaning a relative lack of progesterone compared to estrogen, which causes a list of symptoms familiar to millions of women. Dr. Lee had a distinguished medical career, including graduating from Harvard and the University of Minnesota Medical School. After he retired from a 30-year family practice in Northern California he began writing and traveling around the world speaking to doctors, scientists and lay people about progesterone. Dr. Lee also taught a very popular course on Optimal Health, at the College of Marin for 15 years, for which he wrote the book Optimal Health Guidelines. His second self-published book, written for doctors, was Natural Progesterone: The Multiple Roles of a Remarkable Hormone. He then teamed up with Virginia Hopkins and 129 others to write the best-sellers, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Menopause and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Premenopause, as well as What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Breast Cancer and Dr. John Lee's Hormone Balance Made Simple. VIRGINIA HOPKINS, M.A., is the editor of the email newsletter "The Virginia Hopkins Health Watch," and has an extensive website of articles about bioidentical hormones, nutrition and prescription alternatives at Virginia Hopkins Test Kits. She is the co-author, with John R. Lee, M.D. of the best-selling and classic book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Hopkins and Lee also co-authored the books What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About PREmenopause, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Breast Cancer, and Dr. John Lee's Hormone Balance Made Simple. Hopkins also co-authored the best-seller, Prescription Alternatives, which with Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. Dimensions: 8" x 5.25" x 1" Light rubbing/roughing/bend on covers (see pics) Some water damage to last few pages, does not affect reading (see pic) Thanks For Viewing :) ..ooOO PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS FOR SHIPPING DISCOUNTS OOoo.. * INSURANCE (OPTIONAL) PLEASE INQUIRE * _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
