    • A very important book
This one, as well as the other books written by John Lee (JL), is an important book. This is a book which I would say that all doctors and physicians should be ordered to read. And when reading the book I discovered that besides being a book for women it also showed up to be a book with much important information for men (besides of course learning about the women's problems) in among other with the writings about Osteoporosis, Stress and other sicknesses of which both woman and man can be hit. I first bought these by JL written books after having read many other books about cancer, and especially breast cancer, after it 4 month ago for my wife was discovered that she had breast cancer and she (too) fast was trough a surgery. And besides I also first lately bought this actual book because it was a printing from way back in 2003, but then by reading the book it showed up to be with more important writings than in the already read newer books written by other doctors! Here I especially am thinking on the many problems there can come as the results of using Synthetic pills, and the failure in only given women Estrogen and not at the same time also Progesterone, and the failure that around 2/3 of all women already in their bodies are producing enough Estrogen and therefore don't even need Estrogen pills and then besides mostly get the it as a Synthetic one. Statistical it to me looks like my wife most probably was hit by breast cancer because she over 25 years had been taking a Synthetic Estrogen (we have know each other for the last 10 years), but weighting correct, eating good Asian food, not drinking alcohol, and so on also in all other ways living healthy. But first after having received the book I discovered how much interesting writings there also are about the Osteoporosis. Interesting on many points, first because I 5 years ago had a surgery in part of the arm closest to the right hand, after by pain having discovered that the bone at that point had lost the inside volume, marrow, over 2 - 3 inches. Second because JL explain what's the reason for 5 - 6 times more women than men are getting Osteoporosis, and that it's a myth that it by DNA is forced to be so; highly interesting. And for the third I will get in contact with the professor that cured my bone, and to him deliver a copy of a smaller book about Natural Progesterone Cream and show him this book by JL. Because for me it actually a few weeks ago showed up that here in Thailand, in the Hospitals and the Chemist's, there don't even exists any Progesterone Cream! I only in the biggest Chemist's, here in Chiang Mai, have found some Estrogen Cream. And then when by Amazon ordering some Progesterone Cream I from Amazon received the message that the laws in Thailand don't allow them to send this to me! But as the Progesterone Cream also are good for the bones I by contacting the professor will find out if I by that way can get this Cream to my wife, so that she can stop taking Tamoxifen. And besides maybe be giving the professor some good information and maybe thereby helping the patients with Osteoporosis (and all the other). As doctor he only works concerning bones and Osteoporosis. When my wife and I, 2 weeks ago, were by a younger doctor in the same hospital this doctor then ordered her to start taking Tamoxifen. I then said "What about Progesterone Cream instead?. But it showed up that he didn't know anything about this and couldn't understand how it as a Cream could work as a pill and thereby getting the needed contents into the body! So I had to explain it to him, and after that he no longer wanted to talk to me! Opposite to this I each time had god science talking with the professor. In the book there also are interested stories about patients that contacted JL as they had problems that their ordinary doctors couldn't solve. As in one case with a women who over 10 years coursed by Osteoporosis had ended up being 20 centimeter (8") lower, and about another women who's doctor over time again and again increased her amount of Progesterin, and neither did it result in anything. And it showed up that the problem was that he thought that Progesterin = Progesterone, and that it came from the nature and that it therefore aught to help/work! Last in the book there also for me are many interested sides concerning the chemicals connection between the molecules for Cholesterol, Estrogen and many other. Especially good because it also shows all of the molecules, so that we easier can follow the changes and se the small differences. It has been a heavy, but good, reading for me, that is it's containing of extremely many word for doctors that I couldn't find in my translating books from English to Danish, but luckily we now a day have Google. But again, an extremely good book written with information science. But it's a shame that John Lee longer no longer lives and then is writing more books and is trying to learn people more about the reality concerning most of the reason for to much cancer cases. ... show more

    • THE Best Book on Natural HRT
This little $8.00 paperback book changed the way I look at the medications I was taking, and now I am approaching menopause with a new, true understanding. I have a natural, over-the-counter bio-identical HRT plan that has quickly worked to make me feel better. Dr. John Lee's book is much more than your typical clinical info about "what to expect when you feel like a fading old bag slogging through menopause", but it does have a great deal of clinical info. But it's really about ALL of the female-related medical conditions that exist. It's for women of all ages, from those in their 20s to those super-seniors in their 80s and 90s. And it's about how all of us of all ages will benefit from bio-identical progesterone cream. The book talks about natural progesterone's history, clinical studies, usage, and how the medical community continues to prescribe fake chemical/synthesized meds because they can't make money from a natural product than can't be patented. Dr. Lee talks about the soaring rates of osteoporosis, breast cancer, etc., and how these are generally man-made diseases in industrialized countries. Dr. Lee discusses the following: osteoporosis (see the clinical trials in the book that prove progesterone cream prevents and CURES osteoporosis for women of all ages, even seniors) fibroids, cystic breasts, hair loss related to PCOS/androgenic alopecia and hair loss from "The Change", PMS symptoms, and the incredibly uncomfortable changes peri- and menopausal and post-menopausal women suffer through. Progesterone cream is great for breast cancer patients, those who have had hysterectomies, heart disease, polycystic ovaries (PCOS), endometriosis, vaginitis, migraines, cholesterol issues, and those trying to switch from conventional HRT to a natural regimen. Progesterone cream is not a cure-all, but it definitely helps--significantly--with a huge variety of hormonally-related "female trouble" for women of all ages. Bio-identical progesterone cream is inexpensive, does not require a prescription or a doctor's office visit, it's safe, and it works. So that's why your doctor doesn't tell you about it. Be aware that the low-dose 40mg progesterone cream per day that Dr. Lee recommends is not the recommended dosage these days...he passed in 2003, and since then, there has been a lot of new thinking about his approach. Many menopausal women have suffered through years of estrogen dominance and therefore need what is called a "loading dose" to initially compensate for this. This approach means taking 100mg+ progesterone cream per day without a break for 3-4 months, then trying to take a break of 1-2 days per month and slowly work for a 5-7 day break per month. During the months you start trying to take a break, you might try to slowly (by 10mg per day)lower your progesterone cream dose to the physiological doses originally recommended by Dr. Lee...down to 20-60mg per day is what some women strive for. But some women may need more--listen to your body--there are plenty of women who take 100mg or more per day without ever taking a break--and have been doing so for years without receptor site problems. Please check out Wray White's website for her product NatPro and how to manage your menopause and other hormone issues. BIG NEWSFLASH...Dr. John Lee's family (he passed suddenly in 2003) now makes their own progesterone cream...it's called ProgesterAll, and you can buy it at his family website, which can be found by Googling his name or the ProgesterAll name...don't know if I'm allowed to post it here, but here it is anyway:[...] I wish good fortune to all my beautiful Rosehip Sisters, and hope Dr. John Lee's book and its program helps you embrace Your Change with wisdom and light. POSTSCRIPTS: *If you have interest in Dr. Christiane Northrup, check out my review of the revised 2006 paperback edition of "The Wisdom of Menopause"...Northrup continues to urge women to eat soy products as a phytoestrogenic assist to their menopausal symptoms, but the phytic acid blocks magnesium and therefore creates a huge nutritional and endocrine depletion problems. **The Remifemin brand with black cohosh has been used in Europe and the States for over 50 years and it has clinical trials backing up its efficacy. It does NOT cause liver problems, contrary to recent concerns [refer to the Reuters Health article called "Study Finds No Evidence Black Cohosh Damages Liver" written by Amy Norton, and published on Fri Jan 28, 2011].

    • This is the life’s work of Dr.Lee. I highly recommend it!
If you are in or approaching menopause, you owe it to yourself to get this book. Get your” own” copy, as it will be a reference. I bought this one for my daughter. I used mine and found it very helpful. I did not want to use HRT ( hormone replacement therapy) from the pharmaceutical companies. This gives you real practical and Scientific information to make an informed decision about your choices, at Menopause and also “prior to menopause.”I highly recommend! ... show more

    • Love this book - but too much info
I love this book and it does contain very useful information about hormones. As many others have said, the main take away from Dr. Lee is that he promotes the use of natural progesterone, but I learned a lot more than how to use progesterone just skimming through it or looking specific things up. I would never read it cover to cover as it has entirely too much repetitive info. It would have been more helpful to me if the book weren't so wordy, and had more bullet pointed information or directions, or had an entire chapter on Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, etc. I may get his other book that is "Hormone Balance Made Simple". It might be an easier reference source for most people. ... show more
