Linda Ojeda has long maintained that menopause is a natural stage in a
woman's live, not a pathology that must be "medicalized." In MENOPAUSE
WITHOUT MEDICINE, she takes a sympathetic, science-based approach to
this still poorly understood and often maltreated natural phenomenon.
Now in its fifth English-language edition, this definitive resource
includes a detailed response to recent findings from the National
Institutes of Health about the dangers of conventional HRT (hormone
replacement therapy), clarifying why synthetic HRT has been found
harmful and offering a wide range of alternatives.
The author covers all current nonmedical approaches to menopausal
symptoms, and explains what women can do if supplements, herbs, and soy
products do not work for them. Complete with tables and photographs,
this updated bestseller fits the bill at last for Spanish-speaking women
seeking guidance on how to handle their premenopausal and menopausal
years without resorting to HRT.
