Review
Any woman who is considering synthetic hormone therapy or who wishes to get off of it owes herself the reading of this densely informative book. The simplicity and safety of the solution is almost shocking. One might ask why every suffering woman is not using botanical progesterone. -- World Health News
I was thrilled to read The Estrogen Alternative. . .The writing style incorporates the research into a narrative that is easy for the lay person to read. The book is thorough, well-referenced and prepares the reader to make educated choices about their hormonal health. -- Marcia Smith, N.D., Ph.D.
If you are a woman and do not read this book, you are very possibly denying yourself the most important information of your physical life. . . . A powerfully persuasive, well-written, and extensively documented case for natural, nonprescription, yam-derived progesterone. . . . A must-read if you value your health. -- So Young
The Estrogen Altenative, is a welcome addition to the now steadily growing body of literature on options that are low in side-effects and high in add-on benefits. -- Nexus
The Estrogen Alternative has been instrumental in changing my health-care treatment of women . . . Natural progesterone, with its virtual absence of side effects, makes sense; and using it in my practice. . . has greatly improved my patients' quality of life. -- Joseph S. Randall, M.D.
The authors of The Estrogen Alternative represent the grassroots women of the 60's. As maidens they rekindled the cause of feminine independence; as mothers they reclaimed the birthing of babies; and now as matrons they're redefining the passage of menopause. -- Elizabeth L. Schultz, DO, FACOG

Every woman needs to read this book !,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy With Botanical Progesterone (Paperback)
She needs to read it not only for herself, but for her daughter(s), her sister(s), her mother, and all her friends. This book is an absolute must for any woman wondering if there are natural alternatives out there for treatment of menopausal symptoms. It really opened my eyes to hormone replacement therapy and the ramifications that are *NOT* mentioned very frequently by the medical establishment. Do youself a favor and get this book!

A must read if you are a woman and value your health.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy With Botanical Progesterone (Paperback)
"If you are a menstrating woman with cramps, mood swings,or other symptoms of PMS-if you have undergone chemotherapy, aresuffering joint pain, have osteoporosis, or have seriously tried to diet and still can't lose weight-if you are peri-menopausal, menopausal, or post menopausal-if you are a woman and do not read this book, you are very possibly denying yourself the most important information of your physical life. Not only are the many discomforts women feel associated with excess estrogen production-a hormone which, contrary to popular advertisements, continues to be produced after menopause-but the synthetic varieties, hawked by pharmaceutical companies, can be deadly. A powerfully persuasive, well written, and extensively documented case for natural, nonprescription, yam-derived progesterone that balances estrogen and actually produces it if needed. A must read if you value your health." Julia Busch, editor of the So Young newsletter

Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy with Botanical Progesterone (Paperback)
The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy with Botanical Progesterone and Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story As an educator in the holistic health field who teaches 200-300 new students each year, I try to keep abreast of the vast number of new books that are constantly barraging the health arena. Every year my students ask me to recommend titles in various areas of holistic health and I need to know which select few in each field are the good ones. As both a Naturopath and Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist in private practice, I like to suggest books to my patients which are both informative, accurate, easy to read, and comprehensively cover their topic. Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen alternative , it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. Well she's done it again. Her new book on natural therapies for arthritis is fantastic. Somehow, Raquel and her co-author, Dr. Karen Romano, have managed to supply the reader with a very useable amount of information in just about every single subject area related to arthritis. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all.David Getoff, Naturopath Board certified clinical nutritionist and Educator San Diego California
