An informative book for women who wish to take back the control of their own bodies. Leslie Kenton shows us how to do this and much more! The truth about HRT and other artificial hormone treatments that are pressed on us by supposedly knowledgeable doctors and which are doing us untold harm. This book was lent to me by a friend and now I am planning on giving a copy to all my female friends (of all ages - as even my daughters will reach the menopause one day!) A must for all women! Please buy it and get informed! Thank you Leslie.

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.

This book should be in every women's home. It is serious without being pedantic. It is solid in its research. It is sensible without talking down to you.Furthermore, it looks at the problems from all angles. It does not demand you do this or that, it advices. It felt as I was reading it that Lesley was sitting across from me and talking to me alone. The book gives you a sense of companionship which made me feel I was not alone with my particular menopausal upheavals. Thanks to this wonderful book, I now feel I can cope and have the confidence to grow older gracefully and with dignity.

Leslie Kenton has done all the research and this book refers to many scientific and medical research papers. Even with all these references the book is easy to read and understand.
I found the section on spiritual well being a little heavy but then I think it's a very personal subject and reading and understanding how other people see it can be difficult.
This is a must read, not only for women approaching menopause, but those wishing to lead a healthy life and prepare their body and mind to ensure an easy journey through menopause and life in general!
This book has led me to other reading and research and has helped me find my own personal way to a healthy life and, hopefully, an easy menopause!

This book is full of insightful knowledge and helpful advice, not only for those of us at menopause, but for women in earlier life phases, those approaching menopause and those who are still struggling the other side of this life changing phase. The book was recommended to me by a counsellor and what an eye-opener it's been. It's answered all kinds of questions for me, as well as affirming thoughts and ideas I had been fostering. It covers things like the misguided use of oestrogens; the powerful sway pharmaceutical companies hold over our modern medical practitioners; and how patriarchal society dis-empowers women - even those that appear to be succeeding in our male dominated society. It offers alternatives to the medically accepted 'treatment' of menopause and ways that as women we can claim back our power, as we go through this transformative stage in our lives. I would urge EVERY woman to read this book - I'll be gifting it to many of my friends and relatives.
March 2011 - Having been using a number of the supplements recommended in this book and seen real benefits, so far I have had only one issue. As someone who is prone to sinus problems, I have found that using the Motherwort tincture at the maximum dosage, has caused excess sinus mucus production. The solution has been to drop back on dosage, which has struck a balance. I would advise that if you are someone who has sinus problems, but wants to benefit from Motherwort, you may need to adjust the dosage to suit.

This helped me to start making informed decisions about alternative and medical therapies on my journey into menopause - and has helped me to see that this is the beginning of something exciting rather than something depressing and confusing. Thank you.
