1) Every woman deserves this information!
by Lori Yandell on April 16 2000
20+ helpful votesI've recently been using a progesterone cream and it changed my life! I had been using estrogen therapies for 2 years and couldn't get my body adjusted. It wasn't until I started with the cream and then read this book that I realized it wasn't just me, it's all of us out there, struggling with this issue. It's the doctors who don't or won't look at this alternative to synthetic hormones who really need to read this book!
2) Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story

20+ helpful votesThe Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy with Botanical Progesterone and Preventing & Reversing Arthritis Naturally: The Untold Story As an educator in the holistic health field who teaches 200-300 new students each year, I try to keep abreast of the vast number of new books that are constantly barraging the health arena. Every year my students ask me to recommend titles in various areas of holistic health and I need to know which select few in each field are the good ones. As both a Naturopath and Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist in private practice, I like to suggest books to my patients which are both informative, accurate, easy to read, and comprehensively cover their topic. Ever since I first discovered Raquel's book The Estrogen alternative , it has been my first choice for books to educate both students and patients on the topic of alternatives to prescription hormone replacement therapy. Well she's done it again. Her new book on natural therapies for arthritis is fantastic. Somehow, Raquel and her co-author, Dr. Karen Romano, have managed to supply the reader with a very useable amount of information in just about every single subject area related to arthritis. This book is an astounding encyclopedia of useable information and it succeeds in making every other book I have read on arthritis unnecessary. This one book has it all.

3) A must read if you are a woman and value your health.

Not only are the many discomforts women feel associated with excess estrogen production-a hormone which, contrary to popular advertisements, continues to be produced after menopause-but the synthetic varieties, hawked by pharmaceutical companies, can be deadly. A powerfully persuasive, well written, and extensively documented case for natural, nonprescription, yam-derived progesterone that balances estrogen and actually produces it if needed. A must read if you value your health." Julia Busch, editor of the So Young newsletter

10+ helpful votesShe needs to read it not only for herself, but for her daughter(s), her sister(s), her mother, and all her friends. This book is an absolute must for any woman wondering if there are natural alternatives out there for treatment of menopausal symptoms. It really opened my eyes to hormone replacement therapy and the ramifications that are *NOT* mentioned very frequently by the medical establishment. Do youself a favor and get this book!
