SCREAMING TO BE HEARD: Hormonal Connections Women Suspect...and Doctors
Ignore By Elizabeth Vliet, M.D. A very comprehensive guide to the subject of hormones, including HRT, PMS,
fibromyalgia, migraines, thyroiditis, allergies and so on. See chapter
5 especially on blood testing for hormone levels.
Learn about important studies done by Drs. White and Campbell, two leading
menopause researchers in England (back in 1978-1982). These studies show that the conjugated equine estrogens
are about three times more potent in stimulating the liver production of renin substrate,
which causes increased blood pressure. These studies have been virtually ignored in
the U.S. - WHY?
V.H. All of the readers of this book give it the highest
5 star rating at the Amazon.com website.
BITTER PILLS By Stephen Fried.
Fried has uncovered the evils of the pharmaceutical industry, which often
places profits above public safety. America would do better, he asserts, to
follow Europe's philosophy of pharmacovigilance, or research into drug
safety. Because the Food and Drug Administration oversees the regulation of
what amounts to a full quarter of the gross national product, Americans are
in dire danger of being hurt from pills that are insufficiently researched
and hustled through the approval process. While 10,000 deaths occur each
year due to illegal drugs, Fried writes, up to 200,000 people died as a
result of reactions to seemingly harmless prescription or over - the -
counter ones.
Natural Hormone Replacement for Women over 45:By Jonathan Wright, M.D. A good
introduction to HRT. A little book with lots of information. Especially
good for its analysis of Premarin and Provera as dangerous and completely
foreign to a woman's body. An insightful commentary on the PEPI study and
Dr. Bernadine Healy's reactions.V.H.
Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book: Making Informed Choices About Menopause
In an empowering and demystifying book about menopause, Dr. Susan Love, a noted
breast surgeon and women's health advocate, writes with her coauthor, Karen Lindsey.
"I can't tell you in this book whether or not you should take hormones, but I can
spell out the pros and cons, examining the various promises that have been
made for menopausal hormone therapy, and letting you know what the side
effects and dangers can be." Particularly fascinating is the second chapter titled
"The Medicalization of Menopause." Love's examination of how women in other
cultures actually look forward to menopause, and of how the medical establishment
and the pharmaceutical industry have a vested interested in making menopause
a disease, is a convincing one. It puts menopause and hormone therapy into a
whole new light.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause: By John Lee, M.D. The Breakthrough Book
on Natural Progesterone Fascinating book on the overlooked value of
bioidentical (natural) progesterone by an ob-gyn who has long used it in
in his practice. Includes lots of studies and data.V.H.
Listening to Your Hormones By Gillian Ford
This is a very valuable book written by a woman who now has a practice
treating menopausal women all over the country in partnership with an
MD in California. Her story is moving: she had several suicidal
depressions and a number of institutionalizations until she finally
discovered that her problem was an overwhelming estrogen deficiency.
She now has estradiol shots every few weeks and takes bioidentical
progesterone daily, which has finally ended her terrible,
heart-wrenching rollercoaster. She really understands hormones!V.H.
Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing

fertility, pregnancy and especially menopause. She is an ob-gyn who has
a long-standing practice and a newsletter on women's health issues in Yarmouth, ME.
