What Your Doctor Won't Tell You by B. Wilson (Austin, TX)

5 Stars

Betty Kamen has written a great book about estrogen, progesterone, PMS, menopause, and osteoporosis, which was based on research. Betty states, "Impressive evidence now validates beyond a doubt that progesterone, progesterone-like extracts, and certain herbs can correct a deficiency which is proving to be the real cause of PMS, the real cause of menopausal symptoms, the real cause of osteoporosis." Most doctors treat their patients by writing prescriptions for drugs manufactured by the major pharmaceutical companies, which in this case may be synthetic estrogen. One problem with synthetic estrogen pills or tablets is that only a fraction will be absorbed by the body because of "first-pass" removal of foreign hormones by the liver. These synthetic estrogens have also been shown in many research studies to increase the risk breast cancer and other forms of cancer. Your doctor is unlikely to tell you about the benefits of the natural progesterone which cannot be patented by the pharmaceutical companies. Progesterone is an important building block in estrogen production, and when progesterone levels peak in the menstrual cycle, there will be 140 times more progesterone than estrogen. Diosgenin, which is a Mexican yam extract, has been made to match natural progesterone exactly. It is safe and when used in a transdermal or cream form does not have the "first-pass" liver problem. The application of natural Diosgenin in a cream base with other synergistic herbs has shown incredible success as a hormone replacement therapy.

This is a great reference for every woman.

Betty Kamen has written an easy to read reference to women's hormones, how they work, what they do, and how to naturally enhance hormone deficiencies. You'll even get a chuckle here and there :)Did you know that "For reasons not understood, age at menopause is significantly ealier among left-handed women than those who are right-handed." Read on!

I highly recommend this book to all of my customers.

This has to be the best book on natural hormone replacement. It's easy to read and enjoyable. Betty Kamen covers all areas including diet and exercise. I recommend this book to all of my customers if they want to get in control of their own bodies.

A must-read for all women. by Elizabeth Mass (Asheville NC)

Betty Kamen's book is an intelligent, insightful, and well-written overview of the world of hormones and health. Taking issue with the tendency of physicians to over-use estrogen as the answer to women's problems, Kamen demonstrates, with clear scientific evidence, that natural progesterone is actually the hormone we should be using. Betty Kamen's book is easy-to-read and highly informative on every aspect of the subject of female functioning and hormones. Her conversational style and the many illustrations made this scientific book read like a novel! Highly recommended - whether you're having menstrual problems or are menopausal. progesterone is actually the hormone that needs supplementation.
