Haskell's 350 page book dives deep into the safe and practical uses of bioidentical hormones. The Women's Health Initiative in the late 1990s involving 160,000 women with a long-term trial of various hormones ended abruptly with devastating consequences for those in the Premarin and Prempro group.This created fear in women about hormone replacement and reticence with prescribing physicians. All in all, there's definitely a negative attitude around female hormones. Even today, there are physicians prescribing both synthetic and bioidentical hormones in dosages which are too high and in the wrong forms resulting in unfortunate outcomes. The goal is education, for you to become more knowledgeable and proactive, and to understand ways to extend the quality of your life. If you have a better understanding of how your body works, this wisdom within you will guide your every step and decision, knowing what is beneficial and what is harmful.Here's a remark you might find difficult to accept quite yet, but by the time you finish this book, you will be more informed about health and hormones than your physician. Almost every chapter is rich with documented research from the last 40 years, proving the efficacy and safe uses of estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone, and for those preferring an additional 'natural' approach, there's a full listing of supplements and herb to correct sex hormone imbalances.
