Overview

A compelling defense of hormone replacement therapy that reveals the flawed science that led to its demise and enables women to make informed health decisions. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, was hailed as a miracle for several years. According to study after study, HRT can alleviate symptoms ranging from memory loss to hot flashes if started at the beginning of menopause; heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and some cancers are all reduced; and even lengthen a woman's life expectancy as a whole. However, when the results of a large Women's Health Initiative study showed an increase in breast cancer among HRT-using women, the tides suddenly turned, and HRT, which was now officially considered a carcinogen, was discontinued. Annette Purseley, track HRT's bizarre history and make a compelling case for its resurrection years later. They provide a fuller picture of the science that supports HRT and investigate what led the general public and a large portion of the medical establishment to accept the Women's Health Initiative's frequently exaggerated claims. Estrogen Situations is a harrowing and revelatory read that clarifies the facts about this helpful treatment and offers women everywhere an empowering path to wellness.
