All the answers, to all the estrogen questions, in one book!

Ruth Jacobowitz's book 150 Most Asked Questions About hormone replacement therapy answer all the questions you'll ever have about estrogen and hormone replacement therapy. As the founder and creator of HotFlash! the online perimenopasue/menopause support group and website, I'm constantly doing research about about the latest in hormone replacement therapy. During my interview with Ruth it was clear that she really has done her homework about this very important topic. She addresses all women's concerns- will HRT cause breast cancer? should I take it and for how long? The book is like a good friend seemingly to know the most pressing questions and more precisely the answers. I strongly recommend this book for any woman considering any type of estrogen therapy and more importantly for any woman who has yet to consider this therapy.

Every women needs to read this book!

I am the author of The Estrogen Answer Book which was expressly written because women all over the world are seeking answers to their most-pressing midlife health question, which is "Should I take estrogen?"In searching for clear answers I reviewed every kind of estrogen on the market today, both pharmaceutical and phyto (or plant.) I talked to hundreds of experts and, more importantly to thousands of women, to learn about the benefits, risks, fears, and concerns, and to try to cast a clear beam of light through a chaotic and confusing subject. I believe The EStrogen Answer Book meets that goal. As quoted on the jacket, "With her signature clarity, compassionate voice, and authoritative style, Ruth Jacobowitz has written a long-overdue goldmine of information. For the the millions of women in hormonal confusion, The Estrogen Asnwer Book is the definitive resource. I can't wait to recommend it to every woman I know?" Debra Waterhouse, MPH. RD author of Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell. "The Estrogen Answer Book guides women through the maze of issues and questions regarding hormone replacement therapy and menopause. This is an extremely well-written reference for women who are about to enter menopause, as well as for those who are who are frustrated and confused by the myriad of treatment options. Ruth Jacobowitz has provided a valuable resource for the growing number of women experiencing menopause."R. Jeffrey Chang, M.D.Director, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology Department of Reproductive Medicine, UCSD Medical CenterThese are just a couple of comments that represent advance praise for this book that have come in from professionsals everywhere. The Estrogen Answer Book may help you answer the question for you, "Should I take estrogen?"
