If you are a feminist this book might put your panties in a knot. But really she is a feminist so hang with her here and give this a read. Wiley looks at a woman's biological functions and how life has evolved on this planet as well as how far from those constraints we have come. Therein lies the problem according to Wiley. For example, she examines how we have electric lights now and stay up all night instead of going to bed when it's dark and this throws our biological clock off in addition to speeding up the aging of our body. Her argument is that we have to fool mother nature if we want to live as long as we are able--otherwise we are putting our bodies through too much and we become unhealthy and die as a result much faster than we need to. She posits that as we lose our natural hormones then that is mother nature's signal that we are a drain on her resources and must go to make way for the next generation. No baby boomer wants to hear that! At least I don't! She outlines in this book how to fool mother nature into thinking you are still young and able to procreate even if you aren't. Some of her methods will seem extreme to many of us but that is the price we must pay for long life that isn't just long but also healthy. I loved this book myself. I went through menopause before I was 40 years old and could feel my vim and vigor evaporate as a result. I wanted to do something about that besides get old, dried up and wrinkled, and this book showed me a path I could take. I do not do everything the way she outlines here. For one thing I can't find a doctor who is willing to go to these extremes yet and still get my insurance to pay for it. But I have been on bio identical hormones for several years now and I can attest that hormones account for our energy, drives and ability to think even! There is a prevalent line of thinking that hormones themselves cause cancer and the sooner we are done with them the better. This book explains why that thesis is a bunch of crap on a stick. It isn't natural hormones that are bad for you but the pharmaceutical industry's knock off of natural human hormones that are. Just imagine the fury that results when a lucrative industry is challenged. You are suddenly a quack. This author explains how hormones functions in our body, why they are necessary and how they get screwed up. READ THIS BOOK. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In this revolutionary work-a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine-a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, MD, and Bent Formby, PhD, offer strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advise women to turn to natural hormone-replacement therapy-derived from plants, not drugs-to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity. Provocative, empowering, and scientifically sound, Sex, Lies, and Menopause addresses the inherent benefits of natural progesterone, reveals the lies advanced by the medical and drug establishments, and challenges women to demand a medical future where their health comes first. The research presented in Sex, Lies, and Menopause will at last allow women to create their own plan of action to put themselves safely on the path to better health and hormonal balance at any stage of life.
