Amazon.com Review
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. --Joan Price |

Careful people..... by Daniel J. Soule (Portland, OR USA)  3 Stars
June 19, 2008
Please remember that when it comes to hormone balance, there is no one size fits all approach. Each person has a unique hormone blueprint and would be wise to find a competent physician, trained in hormone balance, with clinical experience, who can TEST your hormones, help you achieve balance, and keep you safe. Hormone balance is a delicate matter, and each hormone affects others.
For additional information, check out www.hormonesynergy.com . Hormones are powerful things and while Dr. Lee offers valuable information about hormone balance in his book and the role "bio-identical" or "biologically equivalant" hormones (much safer than their synthetic counterparts) its not always as simple as bathing yourself in over the counter progesterone creams.
Become educated, continue to get informed!

Very Important Reading for Women by S. Sweet SYRN (Tampa, FL USA) 5 Stars
September 18, 2007
No woman should miss reading "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" and the companion books: "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause," "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer," and the shorter and simpler "Dr. John Lee's Hormone Balance Made Simple," by Dr. Lee and Virginia Hopkins.
Except for the last one, these are not simplistic reading. But, as others have mentioned, patience pays off. These books will give you very important, and unique, health information to assist you to make the best decisions for your health.
You may not find every statement made in these books to be necessarily true for yourself, and that is OK. Also, some people have misinterpreted Dr. Lee's books, reading them to advise never taking estrogen in any form and this is not so.
I was fortunate enough to be able to speak with him when he gave a lecture in my city a few years ago. He certainly advised against the combination hormone replacement pills so routinely prescribed which contain Premarin and synthetic progesterone. These have now been proven dangerous in highly publicized studies, as Dr. Lee said all along.
Dr. Lee has illuminated the subject of natural progesterone cream and offers information you may not hear from your doctor. This cream has the same chemical composition as that made by your own body but is not subject to patent, does not require a prescription, and is available in health food stores.
Of all its benefits, probably the greatest is that progesterone cream stands alone in working to rebuild bone that is rapidly lost during the menopausal years. For women, bone is automatically and continually lost at an accelerated pace, starting around age 50, leading to osteoporosis. This causes many problems such as "dowager's hump", but worse, a fractured hip or spine can be an extremely serious injury.
Dr. Lee did many years of research proving that progesterone cream used correctly will actually REBUILD lost bone. He carefully documented these studies, and he supplies all of the details as to how this works and why there is nothing comparable available that works as well to maintain healthy bone.
Before you fall for any of the TV-celebrity-advertised "bone building" expensive medications, please invest a much smaller sum in Dr. Lee's pre-menopause and menopause books that discuss such harmful and ineffective products.
Become well-informed and you will make the best decisions for yourself regarding your health.
