5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary book for any woman, June 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Passage to Power: Natural Menopause Revolution (Paperback)
This is a book I found in the nick of time. Until encountering it, despite an extensive background in natural health, NO source available to me clarified the true relation of female hormones to bodily events. In one reading this volume accounted for the Hell I have gone through all my reproductive life, most of it induced by medical ignorance, arrogance or discounting.

Those are strong words, but they barely describe the violence done to women's bodies by standard medical management of their health care, contraception, and menopause problems, to say nothing of extraneous stresses in the environment. Kenton's book anatomizes all the reasons for this damage, describes how both lifestyle and even well-intentioned "health care" contributes to it, and describes approaches that no one in this nutrition-conscious age should find too difficult. The toughest row for most women to hoe will be standing off doctors who are pharmaceutically ignorant of the difference between conventional HRT and the natural-progesterone approaches Kenton outlines.

I am living proof that this is a book women need. I have had many of the hormone-related problems Kenton outlines, and perfectly answer the profile of a woman subject to estrogen dominance despite above-average health consciousness. I have had to fight off hysterectomy twice, but the problems that led to this threat have been in abeyance since I demanded natural progesterone treatment from my doctor--shortly before reading this book, on the advice of an RN friend. Finding this book helped me understand how and why something was FINALLY working, and what I could do to further help myself. If only I had had progesterone creams, and the knowledge in this book, available at the beginning of my gynecological purgatory instead of twenty years later! This is not information whose value is limited to women approaching menopause. The uncanny matches between my circumstances and Kenton's accounts of female chemistry make me suspect I could have avoided a world of hurt. I hope some other women can do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunate Subtitle, November 27, 1999
By 
This review is from: Passage to Power: Natural Menopause Revolution (Paperback)
This book is a must have guide for women in every age. The subtitle "Natural Menopause revolution" is not choosen well, as this book really is not only about menopause. It talks about PMT and other health issues women in different stages of their live have to deal with. A book I like to give to friends as a gift, which is always very much appreciated.
