Leslie Kenton has long been a pioneer in the field of health and beauty advocating natural paths to optimum life.
To use or not to use HRT is a personal choice of each woman but women are often denied all of the knowledge needed to make an informed decision. I feel that we are being misled by the medical prefession who have amassed large amounts of money by selling us the dream of immortality, or at the very least extended youth!
This is a deep and controversial subject, not least when you learn that one of the most commonly used HRT presecriptions is prematin, so named as it comes form the urine of pregnanbt mares. These same mares are kept pregnant, their offspring removed, so that we can partake of this substance. To me this violation of a female goes against the idea of women as nurturing and caring.
If you read this book you will learn that in some parts of the world women have no menopause symptoms and it is our western way of life and programming that lead us to the conclusion that getting old has to be painful and unrewarding.
This book is well researched and written but not always that easy to read. There is so much information that you can sometimes feel overwhelmed. But it offers us better methods of dealing with the menopause and gives us back our freedom of choice.
