Get Off the Menopause Roller Coaster: Natural Solutions [Library Binding]

Shari Lieberman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 2000

Long treated as a disease rather than as a natural phase of a healthy woman's life, the menopause can be a time of increased vitality and well-being. This book aims to help women of all ages understand and prepare for the menopause in a natural and informed way. The book guides readers through a natural, safe and effective programme using herbs, vitamins and other supplements, and shares up-to-date information on natural hormones such as phytoestrogens. Also discussed are the the benefits of using saliva tests to accurately assess hormone levels in peri-menopausal women.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Lieberman, a clinical nutritionist with a great deal of interest in natural therapies, has written a clear, concise guide to treating the symptoms of menopause. Her focus is holistic, with good advice on eating right, exercising, and taking herbal supplements to counteract menopause-related hot flashes, menstrual changes, and sexual symptoms. Though following her advice is not as convenient as taking hormone replacement pills, Lieberman argues persuasively that her plan is a healthy way to approach menopausal changes. She does discuss the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy, but she challenges readers not to use it as a substitute for healthy living. Very well written and engaging, this work complements Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book (LJ 3/1/97) and Miriam Stoppard's Natural Menopause (DK, 1998) while offering a nice counterpoint to Adam Romoff's excellent Estrogen : How and Why It Can Save Your Life (LJ 2/1/99). Recommended for public libraries and consumer health collections.DElizabeth Williams, Houston Acad. of Medicine-Texas Medical Ctr. Lib.

5.0 out of 5 stars You were right, Dr. Lieberman!, July 12, 2002

I read your book when it first came out. My Mom was using hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I tried to talk her out of it, based on the warnings in your book, but she wanted to follow the advice of her conventional doctor. This was scary, because I know one woman who used HRT and died of uterine cancer-exactly what you said might happen. Now (July, 2002) the newspapers have been filled with vindication of your book's viewpoints on HRT. Boy, has my mother become interested in what you have to say! I hope that lots of women will buy your book to find out about healthy alternatives to HRT and other great tips on handling menopause.

I have tried all the herbs, oils, etc. and many do help for awhile but eventually they seem to 'wear off' and hot flashes return, night sweats, etc. Check out [...]
