Product Review
"As a practicing orthopedic surgeon in Jakarta, Indonesia, with great interest in preventive medicine, I strongly recommend Dr. Platt's book as it is a fantastic one, the only kind of book that has prompted me to fly from the other side of the globe to meet the author in person." --

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones: A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness for Men, Women and Children (Paperback)
There's two big problems with this book: it promotes estrogen-phobia and recommends non-bioidentical hormones (even though the title is The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones). It claims that estrogens promote uterus and breast cancers. But doesn't mention that the reason young women don't get cancers when their estrogen is at its highest is because it's balanced by progesterone. Doesn't mention the safety of any natural estrogen replacement therapy when it's balanced with progesterone. The book does not mention that a decline of estrogen leads to heart disease, osteoporosis, mood problems, etc. There's no proper presentation of menopause in this book. Moreover, the book implies estrogen is useless other than for getting pregnant and it has no effect on sex. Check the textbooks. Estrogen has a powerful libido-enhancing and mood-enhancing effect on woman's body. Everybody knows what happens to poor women when they go through the menopause. The book claims progesterone boosts libido. As an anti-depressant it actually has a libido-reducing and relaxation effects. Progesterone is great for health but sorry it doesn't effect the libido. Also, the amounts of progesterone recommended seem high. The book screams 'bio-identical' and 'natural' on every page. Yet, it recommends synthetic thyroid and the non-bio-identical estrogen (1 of the 3 estrogens is missing in the recommended cocktail). Then talk about cancers. This book is not very good with common sense and doesn't contains references to works of other people or offers much reasoning for the claims made. It's got "personal bias" and "free interpretation" written all over it. There are much better books on the market: - Natural Hormone Balance for Women: Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life with Exuberance, by Uzzi Reiss - What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause (TM): The Breakthrough Book on Natural Hormone Balance by John R. Lee - The Hormone Solution: Stay Younger Longer with Natural Hormone and Nutrition Therapies by Thierry Dr Hertoghe You can't educate yourself about natural hormones by reading this book!
