Estrogen

Lila Nachtigall, Lila, MD Nachtigall, Joan Rattner Heilman, Lila E. Nachtigall

En la actualidad, la terapia de sustitución hormonal suscita un notable desconcierto y confusión en multitud de mujeres e incluso entre los médicos. Si se sigue correctamente, el tratamiento con estrógenos constituye uno de los medios más eficaces para afrontar los cambios físicos que sobrevienen en la mujer a lo largo de la menopausia, desde los sofocos y el insomnio hasta el entumecimiento de manos y pies. Esta guía, que incluye las investigaciones científicas más recientes, así como las terapias alternativas de que se dispone, ofrece información sobre la eficacia del tratamiento hormonal --junto con sus efectos secundarios y posibles problemas-- para aliviar los síntomas de la menopausia, prevenir la osteoporosis, mejorar la memoria, mantener una vida sexual activa y reducir la probabilidad de desarrollar la enfermedad de Alzheimer o un infarto de miocardio.

Sex, lies, and menopause

T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, Bent Formby

blockqouteTurning thirty years of medical and cultural wisdom on its head, Sex, Lies, and Menopause challenges both the medical establishment and modern feminists to prove that menopause does not have to be deadly./blockquote In this revolutionary work -- a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine -- a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, M.D., and Bent Formby, Ph.D., offer strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advise women to turn to natural hormone-replacement therapy -- derived from plants, not drugs -- to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity. Provocative, empowering, and scientifically sound, Sex, Lies, and Menopause addresses the inherent benefits of natural progesterone, reveals the lies advanced by the medical and drug establishments, and challenges women to demand a medical future where their health comes first. The research presented in Sex, Lies, and Menopause will at last allow women to create their own plan of action to put themselves safely on the path to better health and hormonal balance at any stage of life.

Can you help me?

A. H. Brafman

This book is based on common questions that parents have about their children and their relationships with the world at large. Drawing from his extensive experience as a child psychoanalyst (and as a father), Dr Brafman offers his thoughts on widespread problems faced by parents in an innovative way: he focuses on how the child perceives the situation and not on their resultant behaviour. He also steers away from providing clear-cut answers; there are no set rules for raising children. Instead Dr Brafman discusses each question, using real-life examples and providing insights that will help the parent decide what is best for their individual child.
