Description

Oestrogen Matters: A Compelling Case for Hormone Replacement Therapy For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was hailed as a miracle, offering relief from symptoms of menopause and reducing the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and some cancers. However, a large study by the Women's Health Initiative announced results showing an uptick in breast cancer among women taking HRT, leading to its official demise. Now, a medical oncologist and a social psychologist present a compelling case for its resurrection. They investigate what led to the public's and the medical establishment's acceptance of the Women's Health Initiative's often exaggerated claims, while also providing a fuller picture of the science that supports HRT. This sobering and revelatory read sets the record straight on this beneficial treatment, providing an empowering path to wellness for women everywhere. By examining the history of HRT and the science behind it, Dr Bluming and Dr Tavris aim to empower readers to make informed decisions about their health.
