Overview:
Observing the radical shift in the medical community toward menstrual suppression as a viable option in women's health, Dr. Susan Rako - author of The Hormone of Desire - sees not only a vast information gap for women, but a serious health crisis on the horizon. Drug companies and many health professionals are promoting the idea that it is okay, even preferable, for women to forgo their periods if they are not trying to get pregnant. And what woman, when faced with that choice, wouldn't at least consider that option? But what isn't being discussed deeply enough are the hazards of such suppression, risks that include osteoporosis, heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. In No More Periods?, Dr. Rako delves into the whys, hows, and musts of women's gynecological health and takes a reasoned stand for believing that nature and our bodies do have an intelligence about this critical issue. This book is a call to sanity from a woman who has become known as a devout defender of women's health rights.
