Editorial Reviews

Review

... people have to become so knowledgeable that they don't let the health establishment get away with its systematic deceptions. -- Raymond F. Peat, Ph.D.

I look upon this book as perhaps the most valuable health book I have ever read-or ever will read. -- Kathleen Herrena, a teacher

It is a terrific resource for practitioners to recommend to their patients... all women can greatly benefit from reading it. -- John Hart, M.D.

It reads easily, explains clearly why natural progesterone should replace synthetic hormones, and has that added level of personal experience. -- Irene Alleger, Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients, October 2002

Produced in consultation with alternative health practitioners, this very important reference is a one-of-a-kind guide to very good health. -- The Book Reader, Fall/Winter 2002-2003

The book is thorough, well-referenced, and prepares the reader to make educated choices about her homonal health. -- Marcia Smith, N.D., Ph.D.

This book, in its third edition, is hailed as a must-read for women. -- Frontier Perspectives, Fall 2002

This is an enlightening, easy-to-read book of vital interest to every woman. -- Catholic Women's NETWORK, March/April/May 2001

From the Author

This book provides botanical answers to the appalling consequences of misdiagnosis and mistreatment of hormone imbalance.

At last, educational support that answers women's questions as to prevention and even reversal of PMS, infertility, menopause, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia as well as methods of opposing estrogen's stimulatory effect on cell growth as found in endometriosis, fibroids and cancers of the breast, uterus and ovaries.

The book includes hundreds of clinical studies that prove the need to raise progesterone levels (note prescribed synthetic progestins) when suffering from epilepsy, cardiovascular and thyroid disorders and so much more.

A comprehensive index will help you find information for your specific problems. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every woman needs to read this book !, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read if you are a woman and value your health., March 29, 1997
By A Customer
"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

5.0 out of 5 stars Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story, September 19, 2000
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
