I found this book to be truly informative, spiritual, and humorous. My Aunt always tells me that God has the answers to all our problems. Well, the good Doctor has convinced me! Dr. Eaker uses the bible to show us that God does have a plan in PMS andMenopause. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book; it is the twenty-third Psalms, from the bible, with a little Eaker touch!"The Lord is my shepherd: I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; (even with hot flashes) He leads me beside peaceful streams. (in the middle of night sweats) He renews my strength. (when fatigue takes over) He guides me along right paths, brining honor to his name. (shows me options) Even when I walk, through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. (depression cannot rule me) Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. (herbs and vitamins too) You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. (flaxseed, Chamomile) My cup overflows with blessings. (At least I am here to experience Menopause, the other option is not so great) Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days Of my life, And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. (wrinkles and all)One thing I really liked about this book is the fact that the author fully expects us to get as much knowledge on our health and to act on it. He does not expect us to use himself as our sole source of information. He is quick to point out that WE control our way ofthinking. Some restructuring of how we think could alleviate a big portion of the symptoms associated with PMS and Perimenopause. I have always thought along these lines, but never seemed to fully achieve my goals. Dr. Eaker tells us how. He shows us some very realistic goals, and how to best achieve them, by taking them one at a time! Dr. Eaker understands that we cannot make all lifestyle changes in over night, and that we need to take them step-by-step.Dr. Eaker is quick to offer advice on methods to dealing with PMS and menopause, be it hormonal therapy or herbs, diet, and our spiritual well-being. He is a wealth of information on other sources to gather the information we seek, the bible, other publications, and of course the Internet, with some sites provided.Thank you Dr. Eaker for helping me to see the things that were just beyond my view, and teaching me what I need to do to help myself through PMS and later, the glory that can be found in menopause.

amazing inspiration and guidance

What an incredible book. Every aspect of natural healing and real answers to dealing with menopause and being a woman. Dr. Eaker is amazingly intuitive, funny and compassionate. I can't begin to tell you the difference this book made in my life. Highly recommended read for all of my friends and in fact, my teenage daughter has used her highlighter freely throughout my personal copy. I need to get her one of her own. To Dr. Eaker and Susan, thank you.

Holy Hormones

This is an excellent book and I recommend it highly! This book is well worth the money & time to read. This is not just another "menopause" book but rather describes this transition in a positive light -- using diet, exercise, alternative approaches, & prayer to achieve wellness. I have found it very helpful dealing with perimenopause & PMS.

Great Book for women!

This is a truly unique book in the world of PMS and Menopause. Ron has done an excellant job of explaining, from a biblical perspective as well as very balanced and sound medical insight, that there is a way around experincing all of the moans and groans of this changing "season" in all women's lives. If only more women knew that there were alternatives to the "it's time to take hormones" regime which seems to be so prevalent in today's world this world would be better off. He emphasizes what diet and lifestyle changes will do to improve so many of the problems associated with PMS and Menopause. He also shares wonderful and much needed information in the area of working with the body as well as trying natural herbs and supplements BEFORE resorting to drugs. His emphasis on the healing power of prayer is being proven today in many medical studies ... finally! Please, please buy this book if you care about your health! It will help you!
