Synopsis

One of the most hard-hitting menopause books in its critique of the way the medical establishment views and treats menopause, its purpose is two-fold. Firstly, to tell the "real story" about hormone replacement therapy, its dangers, and why doctors are pushing it; and secondly to offer alternative treatments based on looking at the body and aging from the point of view of health, not pathology. This is an incredibly important book for transforming the myths of aging and bringing women's healing back into the hands of women.

About this title

Synopsis:

Eight million menopausal women have taken a synthetic form of oestrogen, derived from the urine of pregnant mares. 43 million women will enter menopause in the next few years and when women are prescribed oestrogen, they have to use it for the rest of their lives. This book, a completely revised second edition of "Breezing Through the Change" challenges the current widespread (and highly lucrative) use of synthetic oestrogen, and offers natural alternatives to conventional treatment.
