This book was an interesing read. I agree with the authors that the medical community is doing a disservice to women by trying to “cure” menopause. Nonetheless, I am very skeptical of this book’s remedies. Some of these herbs may have real value. Before women start using these “remedies,” I think they should wait until valid scientific studies show the usefulness and safety of herb remedies.

This book is decent enough from a New Age-y approach, and the herbal information seems to be quite good. However, be warned that the author irresponsibly advises against such potentially life-saving diagnostic procedures as routine mammograms.

I did not like this book and thought it was very wacky. First of all, I did not appreciate the author telling me to think of myself as a crone because I am going through/ in menopause. The writing style was silly-with each chapter beginning with an older voice telling you how you should feel about all the changes going on. It was like a fairy tale. I can not say how accurate the information she gave for vitamins and herbs was but I didn’t like when she said never have your ovaries removed and then didn’t follow up about what would happen once they are removed. She is very anti hormone and while they may not help some women, they may be the right thing for others. The book goes overboard on natural remedies and does not supply any scientific or medical information to back up her claims. I’m glad I didn’t buy this book-instead I took it out from the library. Read this book with a critical mind and don’t accept it as truth. It’s interesting but I don’t believe everything in it.

This book was recommended to me by a Wise Woman and it has helped me so much in understanding how my life can still be Fantastic at 45 and forward from here. An excellent, well researched resource book for all open minded women approaching menopause.

Susan’s books are excellent. She dares to go the extra step and doesn’t get frightened by an inflexible pharmaceutical society. You can learn much from any of her books. Just start somewhere! Her books are keepers. You can always reference them for something.
