Self-Help Health
In the first edition of this important bestselling book,
praised by Newsday as “the bible for a whole generation of
menopausal women,” renowned physician and pioneering women’s
health advocate Dr. Susan Love warned about the potential
dangers of the long-term prescription of hormone replacement
therapy. Her insightful words of caution have been backed up
by the stunning results of the recent studies on hormone
replacement.
In this revised edition, Dr. Love
offers a remarkably clear set of guidelines as to what the
studies have shown about the risks regarding heart disease,
breast cancer, stroke, and other conditions, and what effect
hormone therapy has on osteoporosis. She offers definitive
expert advice about whether or not to go on hormone
replacement therapy and, if so, for how long, as well as how
to taper off hormones; and she introduces the alternative
methods for treating the symptoms of menopause.
Dr.
Love stresses that menopause is not a disease that needs to
be cured—it is a natural life stage, and every woman ought
to choose her own mix of options for coping with symptoms. A
questionnaire about your own health history and life
preferences helps you develop a program that will best fit
your unique needs. With clarity and compassion, she walks
you through every option for both the short and the long
term, including:
• lifestyle changes (diet, exercise,
and stress management)
• alternative therapies
(including herbs and homeopathic remedies)
• available
medications other than hormones
