The Estrogen Alternative: Natural Hormone Therapy with Botanical Progesterone Paperback – June 1, 2000

I found this book very helpful when going through a time when I could not seem to stop bleeding. After reading this book, I began using Arbonne's Prolief progesterone cream. My periods returned to normal and have continued to be regular ever since. I recommend the book and the natural therapies in this book to everyone going through menopause or who can't seem to get pregnant.This book contains information your doctor won't tell you; probably because he or she doesn't KNOW! Big pharma doesn't want the medical community to know this stuff because you may not need their drugs if you use natural progesterone!Thank you for telling us the truth!

This book is highly valuable for those suffering from estrogen difficulties! It offers many nutritional avenues that don't involve prescriptions! Especially for those who are unable to use prescription or over the counter medicines, this book teaches you the importance of each herb, how to grow your own, and create your own concoctions designed for your specific needs. I gives the many causes for estrogen problems, and how you might alleviate symptoms, or even stop them. The book arrived fast, was in absolutely like new condition, and I am completely satisfied with both the author, and the seller!!

This book is not on option; it is a MUST read for women of all ages--pre and post menopausal. I have suffered 50 years with female problems; menstrual cramps so bad that I could not walk, blood clots, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, total hysterectomy at age 39 and resultant complications of HRT and complications related to zero levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Every woman needs to be famililar with the issues in this book. It is stupid to suffer unnecessarily.

This is a very informative and well written book. However, I didn't know that this is not the updated version,which I would have preferred.There is much good advice in there, which I intend to heed.

This book is definitely one that you need in "paper". There is so much information and I found myself wanting to read the appendixes or the index. So I bought a paper copy. I have referred a number of women to this book. I will continue to re-read portions of it and refer friends.

Did not even realize tht I had this book. But as soon as I find it I do plan to read it. Otherwise I really don't have anymore to say about it.

This needs to be in every women’s resource library!

I met the author about 10+ years ago. I have a signed copy. Recommended it for a younger friend recently going through peri-menopause. Ladies: Buy this book and please...READ IT!! Keep it close.

This book is unbelievably good, with great depth & insight into the use of synthetic estrogen & the healthy alternative, Raquel Martin has certainly done her homework!! it goes so much further than the title would have you believe, just buy it & read it, you won't be disappointed, I think this book is a bible among books, A Must Read for anyone interested in balancing their hormones naturally without the long term attendant risks associated with the synthetic hormones pedaled by our health service.. natural progesterone cream is very expensive in the UK, go to trivani.com & have a look at their provani cream, it's twice the size but a quarter of the price of the UK, On the same subject, I highly recommend the books by Dr John Lee, Raquel Martin refers to Dr John Lee extensively throughout her book.. & with good reason, he was a giant among Doctors, sadly no longer with us...
