This book is an incredible tool and I am truly grateful for Melinda and the research she has done and shared through this book to inform all women of the many health benefits of Natural Progesterone. I have purchased many of these books for friends because I believe all women should read it before going on HRT. It is extremely educational, and easy to read.
It has help me find the balance that I have been looking for for years. I only wish I would have known this information when I was in my 30's. I highly recommend this book. It is a book that you can continually reference. She gives information not only on Natural Progesterone, but also on supplements and what kind and doses may work for you as well as stories of other womens experiences that we can all relate too.

Product Description:
The only book on natural hormone solutions for women of all ages!
Millions of women suffer from PMS, endometriosis, infertility, mood swings, depression, hot flashes, and a host of other reproductive system ailments.Most doctors take the easy route of prescribing birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or some other version of synthetic hormones as treatment. The result is that women are forced to endure the possibility of unpleasant side effects.
Melinda Bonk used to be one of these women--until she discovered natural progesterone cream.Natural progesterone, unlike its man-made counterpart, is found in the wild yam plant and is identical to the progesterone found naturally in our bodies. The progesterone your doctor prescribes is just a cheap imitation, chemically altered so that the drug companies can patent it!Natural progesterone helps your body work the way it's supposed to.
It's Not In Your Head, It's In Your Hormones explains in easy-to-understand language how a woman's body works and shows why natural progesterone is the answer to the cramps, mood swings, and hot flashes that are brought about by hormonal imbalances. Based on the research Dr. John Lee revealed in his book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, this book shows women how natural progesterone can keep their menstrual cycles regular and pain-free throughout-and beyond--their reproductive years.
- Addresses women of all ages, not just menopausal women.- Based on the research in the bestselling What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause.- Previously self-published as Controlling Hormones Naturally-author sold over 10,000 copies!

This is another great book by author Miranda Gray, which emphasizes how important it is for women to come to understand, accept, and learn to work with their menstrual cycle in order to achieve lasting success and fulfillment in all areas of life. It encourages women to look upon their cycles as a positive part of being female, rather than as the weakness or "curse" that our patriarchal society would have us believe it is.

At last a book that teaches us to how to harness the power of our cyclic nature! Miranda Gray has provided us with an indispensable guide to understanding how the variable (often considered inferior) nature of women's abilities can in fact be an invaluable tool to women and society as a whole.

Thirteen Moons - a Menstrual Cycle Charting Handbook and Journal and Spinning Wheels Review

I am on to my second '13 Moons' book and I love it!Taking note daily of my emotions, cravings, body awareness, creativity and tiredness levels, and then following how I am tracking with the moon, has been an awesome experience.The longer I use it the more my menstrual cycle harmonizes with the moon.What I have gained most from it has been an overveiw of what my cravings are and when.Some days it is chocolate, but around ovulation it is water I crave, followed by salt a few days after.I would never have kept honest track of this in a different format.
Something else that it is invaluable for is charting your emotions and putting them into a word.Ususally I end up with lots of 'calm' days and the odd 'cranky' or 'flat' dotted in between.This has really helped gain perspective on what is really going on, rather than focusing on the negative parts of the day.I highly recommend '13 Moons' for all women wanting to keep track of themselves.It makes a wonderful gift for maidens entering their menstruation/moon blood cycle.

Bravo Cindy Margolis for having the courage to write such a fun, informative book and work to remove the shame and secrecy around infertility. This book will help so many couples on a difficult road and hopefully open our society's eyes to the need to remove all stigma still surrounding infertility. We are a culture that celebrates beauty and fame so we desperately need those that seem to "have it all" to share their experiences.
I am so grateful to this author for this wonderful book!

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer : How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your Life Review

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer : How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your Life

"Your risk of surviving malignant breast cancer is just about the same as it was 50 years ago, when the only treatment was mastectomy: about one in three.In other words, despite billions of dollars in research and hugely expensive and risky treatments, the conventional medical approach to breast cancer isn't working, and talk of prevention is virtually nonexistent."These are the opening words of the long-awaited book by John R. Lee, M.D., with David Zava, PhD and Virginia Hopkins, published by Warner Books.(Those of us who have heard Dr. Zava speak on the subject have been looking forward to his research and information in printed form.)The amount of research is first of all evident by the 63 pages of references in the back of the book.Many of these are covered in detail in the material.
Breast cancer is so prevalent in our modern society that it is a source of fear to most women.The statistics in chapter 1 from the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society include: a 40% increase from 1973 to 1998 and 15% of women who die of cancer are from breast cancer.The U.S. and Canada have the highest rates of breast cancer worldwide.
In Part 1, the traditional methods of treatment with radiation, chemotherapy and drugs such as Tamoxifen are related in large part to pharmaceutical funding of medical schools and research. Most of the risk factors for breast cancer, such as age, geography, early pregnancy, diet, alcohol, exercise, oral contraceptives and HRT are related in one way or another to estrogen dominance. What is the process of cancer development and how does a cancer cell differ from a normal cell?This information is covered in detail in Part 1.
Part 2 gives us details on the nature of estrogens, progesterone and androgens in the role of women's health. Dr. Ercole Cavalieri, research scientist at the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer, University of Nebraska Medical Center, coined the phrase "Angels of Life and Angels of Death" referring to estrogens. This is due to their beneficial and harmful natures.How estrogens are balanced with progesterone; the relationship to the cells, the liver, the immune system; and what makes estriol a superior, safer estrogen is thoroughly covered in this section.
What about other hormones: androstenedione, testosterone, DHT and DHEA?Read chapter 10: "The Nature of the Androgens."Especially important are the last two chapters in this section, researching the problems of HRT, ERT,Tamoxifen and Raloxifene. Read this shocking information:"In case you have any doubts as to the extent to which drug companies are controlling physicians, did you know that pharmacies sell prescribing information to drug companies? That's right. A drug company rep can purchase a list of all the doctors who are filling prescriptions at a particular pharmacy, and find out exactly what they're prescribing. How's that for an invasion of privacy?" (p.179)
Finally, we come to Part 3-how can we prevent and/or heal breast cancer?Guidelines for using natural progesterone are outlined for various circumstances, such as premenopausal, menopausal, with endometriosis, breast fibrocysts, PMS, menstrual migraine, hysterectomy or ovariectomy and women using estrogen. The use of other hormones is also covered. A chapter on saliva testing explains how and why it is valuable and gives helpful instructions.
What about soy, dietery fat and carbohydrates? Much nutritional information is given, including "Dos and Don't's of the Anti-Cancer Diet." (p.289)Also covered is the matter of the environment with the effect of xenohormones and other toxins. Is your liver in good shape? What support can you give your system to counteract the negative effect of all these poisons?
This is a brief summary of what to expect from this remarkable book, which is informative, positive and hopeful.

After four doctors attempted to convince me to have a hysterectomy for endometriosis, I traveled to Atlanta to consult with Dr. Lyons. He was the first doctor to take my condition seriously, and through skilled surgery and medical assistance, has changed my life.

Product Description:
Endometriosis can disrupt women's lives. It is responsible for chronic, sometimes crippling pain, hundreds of thousands of missed work hours, and in its most extreme cases, infertility.
There is hope! Thomas L. Lyons, M.D., whose philosophy is to "treat the patient, not the disease," has developed leading edge surgical techniques to address endometriosis.
Dr. Lyons demystifies this puzzling disease, covering issues from fertility to dietary concerns, alternative treatments to surgical options but the main focus is on the key issue of pain management for this potentially debilitating disease.
