Natural Woman, Natural Menopause

by Marcus Laux

Book Overview

For years, women thought they had only two choices for menopause: avoid taking synthetic hormones altogether and suffer the occasionally debilitating effects of menopause, ranging from bone loss to sleeplessness, or accept a prescription for Premarin and Provera and with it an increased risk of some cancers. But, at this groundbreaking book proves, there is a better, safer, more effective way.

Natural Woman Natural Menopause

As a medical professional, RN, I feel qualified to tell everyone that this book saved my life. After 12 years of Premarin, I had developed every side effect listed in this book. I thought I had a terrible disease process happening to my body. Then I asked myself " If a patient came to you with these symptoms, what would be the first thing you asked that patient." The answer was simple, "What medications are you taking?" The culprit was Premarin!!! And I now have a new lease on life. I take the Tri Est/ Progesterone discussed in this book and I feel 20 years younger, some say I look it too!

Excellent Book

I've read six books on menopause and "the Naturals" and I think it is the best. This book has the most information presented in the most concise format. There is much useful "hands on" information about diet, exercise and the use of natural progesterone. If I could buy only 1 book on the subject, this would be it.

Natural Woman, Natural Menopause

This is a MUST read book for every woman who is concerned about menopause and the decision to take hormones or not. We CAN have the best of both worlds: relief without the risk of cancer.It should also be read by every doctor who writes HRT prescriptions for their patients.I loved the book and found it to be very easy, exciting, informative reading, I was glued to every page.Buy it, read it, and pass it on to all of your friends and doctors! I just ordered a second copy for my doctor as a gift.

At Last! No more Provera!

I am a 53 year old woman who underwent menopause at 43, and since I still have my uterus, I struggled with Premarin and it's ugly sidekick Provera for almost 8 years. I even tried Dr. John Lee's Progesterone alternative, but to no avail. Then finally, a female friend suggested that I go see her naturopathic MD here in Scottsdale. She put me on the "naturals" and within a few months I was feeling better than I had in years. With just a couple more "tweaks" I was feeling great, and mentally I knew I was now free from all the looming fears of HRT induced breast or uterine cancer.I have (and would) recommend this book to any woman who will listen to it's message. It is a thorough, direct and comprehensive alternative to horse pee and PMS (as we "natural women" refer to our previous regimen) and it is my belief that these are the hormone replacements of the future. And, thanks to Laux and Conrad, some of us have it now!

the best resource for all stages of menopause

I've read many books on this subject and absolutely none compare in terms of thoroughness. I first started using a Native American herb during my first pregnancy 20 years ago and was so astounded by its effectiveness that I have been a believer ever since. But I had not been able to find a comprehensive 'manual' for dealing with menopause and its symptoms. By the time you finish this book, you will know exactly what therapies to try that will help you through whatever you may be experiencing. I have yet to find a doctor who will listen, but I have been adamant from the beginning about NOT using prescription drugs. I'm going to buy several copies of this book and throw it at a couple of those physicians and then never go back.
