Praise for
Estrogen Matters:
"I hope Estrogen Matters draws enough attention to counter the fears and misinformation about HRT that so many women, and their physicians, still hold." ― Phyllis Greenberger, MSW, former President and CEO of the Society for Women's Health Research
“Well written, insightful,
and hard hitting, Estrogen Matters successfully rebuts the
billion-dollar, government-led study known as the Women’s Health Initiative,
which claimed that hormones for post-menopausal women are harmful. That study
was wrong. It turns out estrogens do matter for women’s
health.” — Vincent T. DeVita Jr., MD, Professor of Medicine, Yale School of
Public Health and Yale Cancer Center
“If you’re one of the many menopausal women who avoid HRT to treat your symptoms because of all the scary headlines, this book is a must-read.” — Jennifer Ouellette, author of Me, Myself and Why
