What Your Doctor May Not Tell You
About Menopause

NEWLY REVISED AND UPDATED!

The breakthrough book on natural progesterone.
by John R. Lee, M.D. and Virginia Hopkins
Warner Books 2004 (372 Pages)

Women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms and health benefits should read this controversial, provocative book first. "Advertising and research dollars are spent trying to convince women that estrogen will cure everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's," writes John R. Lee, M.D., "but there is scant evidence for any of these claims and reams of evidence that synthetic estrogens are highly toxic and carcinogenic." Lee has studied the research and concludes that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone, instead, puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites study after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises.

"Menopause as a disease has been largely fabricated by physicians and the pharmaceutical industry," says this leader of a "quiet but powerful revolution" regarding HRT. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause covers the benefits of natural progesterone, the history and politics of the medical and drug establishment, the biochemistry and dynamics of hormones and how they get out of balance, and how to prevent hormone imbalance and stay healthy. Lee empowers you to ask hard questions of your doctor. Highly recommended.

Ingram
Here is a practical and resourceful guide that focuses on the effective, scientifically proven, natural alternative to current therapies used in combating the effects of menopause. This invaluable volume also contains a complete, non-prescription "hormone balance" program for optimal health, which lists foods, supplements, and herbs that can be used to balance a woman's hormones.

The author, Virginia Hopkins, January 15, 2000
This book has started a revolution! Since our "Menopause" book was released in 1995 nearly a million copies have been sold, and the conventional medical approach to HRT has finally begun to transform, albeit very slowly. Many thanks to the thousands of women who have e-mailed us with their experiences. Although we can't answer all of your e-mails, all of them are read and very much appreciated and taken into consideration both in our books and in our newsletter.

The author, Virginia Hopkins, April 15, 1998
This is one of Warner's best-selling books and there are over 350,000 copies in print! John Lee has a newsletter now which you can find out about by e-mailing me, and he is giving talks all over the world. In other words, the response to this book has been tremendous, and we get 100s of letters a months from grateful women. Another book is in the works.

The author, Virginia Hopkins , August 29, 1996
The book has sold so fast in its first three months out, just by word of mouth, that Warner has had trouble keeping up with demand. However, the book IS in stock and should be easily available at any bookstore. Dr. Lee is the one everyone else quotes on this subject, making this the most authoritative book available on the use of natural progesterone for natural hormone balance.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You
About PREmenopause

Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty.
by John R. Lee, M.D., Jesse Hanley M.D. and Virginia Hopkins
Warner Books 1999 (395 pages)

Joan Price
Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better. They also discuss the dangers of xenohormones--substances not found in nature that have hormonal effects--frequently found in pesticides, solvents, plastics, and hormone-treated meat. The book presents common symptoms of premenopause with suggested natural treatments (progesterone cream, diet, vitamins, and herbs) and substances to avoid, plus additional chapters on diet and exercise. Many case studies help to bring the information into perspective. If you are premenopausal (or close to someone who is), this is a valuable resource.

Ingram
A safe, revolutionary non-prescription "balance program" to restore gynecological health, energy, and sex drive--and slow the aging process before menopause, and even after.

The author, Virginia Hopkins, December 3, 1998
Natural hormone balance for women 30 to 50...
We dedicated this book to all the women who have taken the time to write, fax and e-mail us to tell us their observations and stories, ask questions and network in every way imaginable. Dr. Lee calls it the women's underground network (women talking to women). It's powerful and inspiring. We have heard repeatedly through Dr. Lee's newsletter and at his seminars that there are many, many PRE menopausal women out there who intuitively know that their health problems are related to hormonal imbalance. This book is for them. We love to hear from you.
