Author Biography: Raquel Martin

Raquel Martin’s experience of her own serious health problems taught her that the beneficial effect of chiropracti care could be reinforced by means of nutritional and hormonal rebalancing. She has since dedicated herself to spreading information about the need for safe natural alternative therapies, co-authoring The Estrogen Alternative and Preventing and Reversing Arthritis Naturally. She lives in Pennsylvania.

Judi Gerstung, D.C., is a chiropractor and radiologist with a special interest in the detection and prevention of osteoporosis.

Book Synopsis

Despite increasing awareness, confusion about the risks of conventional hormone replacement therapy remains widespread. This updated fourth edition offers the latest information on how botanical progesterone therapy, also known as natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), can provide safe, natural relief. The authors warn against corporate-sponsored research in a multi-billion dollar menopausal industry, and guide readers to natural alternatives.

So Young

"If you are a woman and do not read this book, you are very possibly denying yourself the most important information of your physical life. . . . A powerfully persuasive, well-written, and extensively documented case. . . . A must-read if you value your health."
