Review: Once again, Dr. Lee discusses the importance of natural progesterone replacement; but he is now focusing on women between thirty and fifty years of age. Women who are experiencing puzzling mood swings, fatigue, weight gain, breast tenderness, memory loss, migraine headaches, irregular menstrual cycles, cold hands and cold feet or any variation of these symptoms are dealing with the phenomenon – premenopause. These same women are being offered multitudes of antidepressants, counterfeit hormones or even surgery as their solution. However, none of those treatments address the “simple” underlying problem of hormone imbalance, specifically a drop in progesterone levels. Dr. Lee provides information on the safest and most effective treatments.

Review: Dr. Doris Rapp shares her vast knowledge of allergic disorders in children and adults. She outlines specific problems that are frequently ignored or even misdiagnosed, such as hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, aggression, depression, and even poor academic performance. She then explains how inhalant allergies, food allergies, and chemical sensitivities are oftentimes the underlying cause of so many of these conditions. Included are numerous “self-tests” for parents, to help them identify cause-and-effect relationships within their own children.
