Linda Ojeda has long maintained that menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, 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 edition, this definitive book includes a detailed response to recent findings from the National Institutes of Health about the dangers of conventional HRT (hormone replacement therapy), explaining 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. This updated perennial bestseller on nonmedical approaches to menopause includes tables and photographs.
