Dr. John Lee's Hormone Balance Made Simple: The Essential How-To Guide to Symptoms, Dosage, Timing, and More

So easy to read and helped me so much!!

I am thankful to Dr. Lee. My own,trusted gyne turned out to be totally close-minded when I began to question him about the negative effects of HRT. He was so quick to put me on synthetic hormones, and I didn't feel good about it. I began to read Dr. Lee and others. I was shocked that my own physician could overlook this current, growing, and vast body of literature about biodentical hormones and not include its study in his treatment of women. Oh well, ladies, we now know that it is up to us! I have now read this and all of Dr. Lee's books, and will continue my self-study with other like authors as the field yields more research. I will also continue my search for a doctor who can assist me (no luck yet!) I have taken myself off HRT, am using biodentical progesterone cream, and felt better quickly! This is the proof in the pudding, isn't it? I continue to read about biodenticals --- and I urge you all to do the same! Don't wait until you are menopausal to learn about hormone balance ... START NOW and get your daughters to the same.

It's too bad Dr Lee is no longer alive, because I'd like to shake his hand and thank him for all his wonderful work. After some very bad experiences with artificial hormones that made me extremely ill, I went in search of an answer that would finally explain what I was experiencing and why I was having the issues I was having. I've had Endometriosis and severe PMDD for many years, but I didn't know I had them as no one could explain the symptoms. Why did I work out 6 days a week and eat less than everyone I knew, yet still not be able to lose weight? It's all in this book! Finally, I get it. Finally, I feel like I have a chance to conquer my body. Out of the window go the unneccesary carbs and artificial hormones, and in comes Progesterone Cream and hormone balance. For gods sake, if you're suffering, buy this book! Everything will suddenly become clear and you will understand why your body is doing what it is doing.

This book is awesome, I started using Progestrone cream and have no more annoying aches and pains, short period without spotting for a week before and after, no more restless legs at night, I sleep 100x better, no longer waking up multiple times a night and feel very calm and laid back even with my four kids (6,4 and twins that are 3. It's amazing. Every women should read this book.

Dr Lee was one of the first male physicians to really stand up for women and get the word out that birth control pills and all the synthetic pharmaceutical hormones are poison and his books are true. Suzanne Somers, Dr Schwarzbein, and others have since come out with more truth. Bioidentical hormones do NOT cause clots, tumors, and the craziness of the HRT hormones...many of which are STILL being tossed at women. You must find a physician who knows his/her stuff. Your hormone creams are compounded just for you by a pharmacy and shipped to you monthly. Transdermal application is liver saving and gets the job done. It requires periodic saliva testing to be sure you are on track. I have been on these creams for 18months am 60 and do 30-40 massages per week. It took 3 years to find a Dr who knew what Bioidentical meant.The first year after the hysterectomy I could not work..fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, forgetfulness, hot flashes...all gone and I will use these creams for the rest of my life. It is outrageous how menopausal women are given prozac and told "you're getting older, get used to it". YOU ARE A CONSUMER...your body is more important than your possessions...do your homework and don't tolerate 5th rate medicine...there are knowledgeable physicians out there...Dr Lee was one...check out the new website [...] My Dr proved to be a total jerk...yes JERK...he gives ALL his patients..all sizes.. the same amount of synthetic hormones..when I questionned the logic in that, his response was "well, you can take it or not" once he does his female castration he knows you can't be a source of any more money and he could care less..AND HE IS NOT ALONE..hysterectomies are BIG business! You have to do your homework!!!! Read Dr Lee's books..and when you get sorted out, drag your husband in and get him sorted out...they have the same problems..Viagra is not the answer....GOOD LUCK!!

It is very detailed and informative particularly for those interested in finding ways to deal with the imblances without taking harmful pharmaceuticals.
