Are Your Hormones Making You Sick?: A Woman's Guide To Better Health Through Hormonal Balance [Paperback]

Ava Taylor MD (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2000

The TaylorÕs revolutionary approach to diagnosing womenÕs illnesses will forever change the healthcare of women all over the world. Previous books about women and hormonal problems have made sweeping generalizations concerning treatment (i.e. women should not take estrogen, all women need estrogen to prevent osteoporosis and heart disease or all women need progesterone, or herbs). Unlike other books written on the subject, this book advocates the use of objective and accurate testing through salivary testing before prescribing treatment. This book provides much needed information that allows patients and doctors to understand the value of saliva testing. Salivary testing is a must for every woman concerned about breast cancer, osteoporosis, infertility, menopause, fibroids, and PMS. Salivary testing allows women to take control of their health!

4.0 out of 5 stars Resourceful Guide to Understanding Hormones, September 17, 2001

Dr. Eldred Taylor has been my doctor for years. And after going through various female changes--I'm now over 40, he recommended that I read this book. I must say that after reading this book, I have a much better understanding of the world of hormones and how they truly affect my life. This book helped me to understand how exercise, diet, and hormones relate to feeling and being healthy. I keep this book handy as a resource guide to refer to it whenever I feel out of balance! I love the highlights or take-home points throughout the chapter.

This book is the best ever and all women should read it! Dr. Ava Taylor is a wonderful person. She happened to mention this book in a friendly telephone conversation when I said that I am "sick of feeling sick," or in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, "Sick and tired of being sick and tired.". I was a "poster child" in relation to the symptoms in the book. Unfortunately, I did not follow up right away and lost about a month or so in my quest to feel better. In my experience, many physicians do not listen to what women are saying; therefore, we continue through life thinking that it must be mental, or that we are depressed, and wonder why. I could go on giving kudos to Dr. Taylor and this book, but I'll stop here and add one last thing. I started with the progesterone cream and I feel better already. Make sure it is USP Progesterone; read the label. Some simply use the wild yam extract, which limits the amount of progesterone that your body receives. Also, the cream delivers a higher dose than the pills/capsules. As always, it is best to speak with a physician (if you can find one who understands this). ;-) sarcastic!

As a consultant pharmacist, specializing in women's health issues, I found Drs. Taylor's book one of the best, comprehensive, while easily understandable books that I have recently reviewed. I am dismayed to see this book listed currently as "unavailable" through Amazon, as I am now averaging 6 recommendations of this title to my patients daily. Amazon, you best order more copies!!!!
