Timely, Well-Researched, Comprehensive, East to Read,

This review is from: Menopause: Bridging the Gap Between Natural and Conventional Medicine (Paperback)
This timely new book covers all the aspects of Menopause, sometimes written as separate topics in other books. Dr. Schoenbeck, Dr. Gibson and the other contributers have written a book; of women - by women - for women, based on their experience practicing medicine, published research and listening to their patients. At 332 pages, the book is quite comprehensive. Not only does it address specific issues such as Hormone Replacement Therapy, the book appropriately looks at the surrounding physical, emotional, cultural and psychological aspects of this natural process. The authors emphasize that each woman is an individual. therefore, interwoven throughout the book is the empowering message for women to actively listen to their bodies, read and keep knowlegable on Menopause; and thus be in control, throughout the medical decision-making process. Importantly, the title: "Monopause: Bridging the Gap Between Natural and Conventional Medicine", is at the heart of the message. The book talks about and gives examples of how women are working with both conventional and Naturopathic physicians to meet their individual health needs. The authors show how this is partnership is not only working, but may provide the best range of options for your particular health issues. This book is recommended because it is not a one-time read, but will become a good reference book. Whether one needs information on bone health, herbs, perimenopause, the changing body, etc., the book will be there when you have a question. In an age where books on this topic may be written in a week in order to be marketed to take advantage of recent headlines (such as Hormone Replacement Therapy), this well-researched book which was over 3 years in the making, will be around long after other books shelf life has expired.

This review is from: Menopause: Bridging the Gap Between Natural and Conventional Medicine (Paperback)
A time of major transition always goes more easily if one is prepared with knowledge and support. This book offers both in very strong doses, from the cellular to the cosmic levels. Many issues surrounding menopause are analyzed and clarified in light of the authors' experiences treating patients with a balanced, blend of conventional and alternative medicine. I will be ordering a few more copies to give to friends. Can't bear to part with my own copy.

This review is from: Menopause: Bridging the Gap Between Natural and Conventional Medicine (Paperback)
My doctor recommended this book and I have since recommended it to many of my friends. It's comprehensive without being to clinical. You can start with diet, exercise and natural approaches and move into medication if needed. It's been my bible through menopause.
