Book Description

October 30, 2000
A comprehensively researched book that explains how the use of conventional hormone replacement therapies have put women at great risk and shows the suffering they have endured. It provides women of all ages the vital information necessary for making informed choices; such as the scientific research that shows that synthetic hormones used in HRT and The Pill contribute to breast, ovarian and uterine cancers and further, how longer term use contributes to CFS, liver disease, impaired thyroid function and reduced or complete deletion of a woman's sex drive.

Beginning with an explanation of how the medicalization of women's reproductive cycles has brought about the enslavement of modern woman into a cycle of chemical entrapment and it concludes with practical and natural alternatives to safely and effectively handle peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. Women from around the world have commented on its easy readability, it's sensible approach to the changing times that each woman will experience during her lifetime.

This invaluable volume contains the most optimal, safe and effective solutions to hormonal imbalance at whatever age it occurs. With the knowledge and understanding held within this book women are inspired to create a "hormonal balancing" program for their long term health.



Editorial Reviews

Review

Hormone Heresy is a book that examines and questions the use of the most widely used treatment of menopausal symptoms in the world. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It's author Sherrill Sellman, while researching menopause and what was happening to her own body, discovered a number of truths that have been disguised for decades. It was simply the changes she experienced in her own body that led her to investigate menopause and its various treatments. What she found was that the pharmaceutical industry has for years, down played the dramatic physical, psychological and emotional effects of HRT on women. Sellman recognises that there is a major change happening in society, where women are able to obtain more information about the subject ... Hormone Heresy is ... designed to empower and inform women to make the best choices for their bodies and their greater health. -- The Jewish News - Melbourne Australia

From the Publisher

American women are finally waking up to the disastrous trends that have been occurring much too long, due to the long term use of estrogenic drugs as presented in 'The Pill' and HRT. When steroid hormones drugs are used, either in the form of the Pill or Hormone Replacement Therapy for PMS, perimenopause or menopause, estrogen levels may be raised by as much as 100 times more than what the body would normally be making. For many women, these treatments will not only create but worsen depression, anger flare-ups, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, lethargy and unpredictable mood swings. The Pill and HRT also rob the body of vital nutrients such as vitamin B's, E, C, folic acid, and zinc which further comprises physical and emotional health.

Recently, as reported in a major American media publication a very disturbing trend is coming to light with the occurrence of precocious puberty in girls as young as 7. These trends indicate that at best younger and younger girls will be exposed to the use of estrogenic products over a longer time and thus, expanding the possibly of higher breast cancer rates. The new updated and revised edition of Hormone Hersey details over eight years of research, by Ms. Sellman on the dangers of estrogen excess. This is a must read for all women, especially those who have daughters. Feedback from women around the world indicate that this title is easy to read and easy to understand these sometimes complex issues. Hormone Heresy not only identifies the issues it also helps the reader to create a plan of action to safely put themselves on the path to increased health and hormonal balance. Please be sure to read Terri's story it just could be yours or someone you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars READ It! HEED It!, April 18, 2000
By 
Gerry Ganong (Tulsa, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hormone Heresy : What Women Must Know About Their Hormones (Paperback)
"Hormone Heresy" has been a revelation for me, and has given me the information and confidence to make major changes regarding my physical health. I have spent over 25 years in the traditional, allopathic healthcare environment and was always convinced, both as a patient and an "insider", that continued use of HRT would keep me healthy and slow down the aging process. I have also been a proponent / consumer of alternative healthcare therapies for several years, but did not realize that my hormonal health was as compromised as it was. After reading Ms. Sellman's data and her observations of the politics and dynamics associated with women's health, I recognized that many of my health problems, symptoms, and lack of energy were directly associated with my body being "over-estrogened", causing imbalances in many areas of my system. I have followed her suggestions regarding natural hormones, supplements, and diet, and have chosen to pay attention to my own body's wisdom rather than the misguided advice of unenlightened physicians. As a result, I am healthier, clearer-minded, and have more energy than I have experienced in years. I am 51 years old, 17 years post-op total hysterectomy, and spent 16 years on Premarin. Prior to my hysterectomy, I spent 10 years on birth control pills. (I've done myself a lot of hormone damage!) Today, I feel more vital than I did 20 years ago, and I would not be in the balanced physical condition that I am had I not discovered this book.

It is as important to me that we strive to become healthy and balanced in our own bodies as we work to heal our environment and natural resources. For this reason, I have passed along several copies of this book to friends and family. You will want to keep this book as continued reference, and you also will want to share copies with other women whose well-being is important to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hormone Heresy, May 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hormone Heresy : What Women Must Know About Their Hormones (Paperback)
If you are a woman, you MUST read this book. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I have done intense amounts of research on the subject since that time. The author has put together in one book the information it took me months to collect. Caution! If you read this book, you will never again be able to look at yourself or your Doctors with the same thought patterns. "Where was I when this information became known?" Why didn't my Doctors inform me of this knowledge before my body parts had to be cut off and my life threatened?
