Product Description
In this revealing work, a medical writer and an internationally known physician team up to explain the controversy over prescribing estrogen for perimenopausal women in the United States and to detail why progesterone is actually a far more effective, and far less risk-ridden, approach. Citing longstanding and emerging research, patient vignettes, and personal experience, endocrinologist Jerilynn Prior and writer Susan Baxter explain how false beliefs about estrogen became entrenched in U.S. medicine and culture—and how and why business and politics have played a role in this erroneous thinking.Like most women in Europe now, Prior's patients find progesterone the key to dealing with a lifecycle transition that, contrary to Western medicine, these authors do not see as a disease. Challenging medical orthodoxy, The Estrogen Errors: Why Progesterone Is Better for Women's Health presents arguments and evidence that women and their doctors, male and female, will find compelling and useful. |

Must Read for all interested in the perimenopause by Judith Norsigian (Boston, MA)  4 Stars
October 28, 2009
It is fascinating to see how widespread beliefs about estrogen's role in the perimenopause have blocked the pursuit of much-needed research in this field. This book is filled with persuasive arguments that lead to a total re-evaluation of these "beliefs" that increasingly don't hold muster as we look more closely at the best available evidence. Dr. Prior's writings and her own research offer crucial insights for all those interested in women's health across the lifespan.
