1) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. Very informative. I was trying to be a supportive partner for my wife who has been suffering from Menopause for 5 years. She thaought it was dumb of me. Oh well. Just trying to ease her pain.¤ 2) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. This important book has been around for a while and now it´s been updated! What a treasure. Every woman should read this. The information is valuable and usable. I highly recommend it. Pamela D. Blair, Author The Next Fifty Years: A Guide for Women at Mid-Life And Beyond¤ 3) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. Dr. Susan Love´s Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices¤ 4) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. The most practical, informative, and entertaining (I´m not kidding) book I´ve found on perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Love tells you what you may (or may not) experience, without committing a "one-experience-fits-all" blunder. I enjoy her social commentary regarding American attitudes toward women, aging, and aging women. It´s especially helpful to me as I near this second puberty.
Women and men of all ages would probably benefit from reading Chapter Two alone. The pharmaceutical companies are not (necessarily) your friends.
Good stuff.¤ 5) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. So far so good. Very believeable and understandable. makes good sense. I´m not even 1/2 way thru book yet. I was not happy though with the construction of the book. Some of the pages are falling out because they were not glued in right.¤ 6) Paperback Book Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices by Three Rivers Press. 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¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 26-Aug-2008, 06098099629780609809969, 210-550-900-620-HCB-JIB-8
