Product Details

The “hormone industry” sparks into life the moment a woman reaches 50 (or younger). As medicine seems to view menopause almost as an illness, so it has a drug—hormone replacement therapy—to counter it. This 68-page booklet guides you through the menopause minefield, looking at HRT, “natural” progesterone, hysterectomies and the dangers and liklihood of osteoporosis, before suggesting genuinely safer options.
