A friend just lent me this book and I'm wondering if it's going to be worth the read. The friend who read it said the average person couldn't afford all the medical tests that are recommended in the book. I'm 6 years past a hysterectomy and back when I was a hostess at Hystersisters.com was pretty knowledgable about hormones and hormone replacement therapy but haven't been involved with Hystersisters for a few years now and am not really up to speed on these things anymore. I was thinking of reading it just out of curiosity and general info's sake, but just quickly glancing at it last night, I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to get into it. Anybody read it? And if so, what did you think? Thanks gals!

I have most of her previous books - and I understand that this last one is all hormone issues for women and men. I did her diet for a time and although it too is not proven (basically food combining) I did loose weight and felt great. I currently am using bioidentical HRT and have to give her credit for being a leading face out there trying to get the word out, after we all stopped taking premrin.
I had initially intended to pick up Ageless, but when I saw her on TV (Larry King) promoting the book, I was shocked to see how pumped her face was with God knows what. She did admit that she had had injections of something for wrinkles and her lips looked like cartoons. That did it for me - how can she go around touting her 'youth secrets' while in reality, she's doing everything except going under the knife herself. She does look great - but she's in her 60's now. How many more decades does she think she can keep this up?

Suzanne has always been a go getter and a self promoter. That's what I liked about her years ago. I haven't picked up any of her books just the same. I didn't even buy her thigh master... Now I need two.

Naomi Judd has had so much done to her face she looks scary. Plus, she's a self-promoter just like Suzanne. Is there any product Suzanne hasn't pushed? I think her husband keeps her working so he can live in style.
I want to suggest a wonderful book I just got. Mariel Hemingways's Healthy Living from the Inside Out. It's all about natural living, Yoga and peace. She lives it and she doesn't look like a clown.

Ann (CSQ), I hope you do read it and share with us what SS has to say. Of course doctors are going to be squealing if information that is contra to what they practice is spread. Who knows what doctors are doing the squealing, anyway? Are they hired by the pharmaceutical companies? What doctor has time to examine what SS has to say? Is it just going against what he/she has been taught in med school? I saw Summers on Larry King, also, and fully intended to get her book. I was on Premrin (menopause @ 35) for a couple of years, but I simply don't like taking prescription drugs... at the same time, I realize I need some type of HRT. Natural would definitely be my choice. When I found out Premrin was made from horse urine, I'll admit I freaked and vouched I'd never use it again, even tho a gyno recently tried to persuade me to.
I will be looking for Mariel's book. Thanks for the mention.
Might read Christiane Northrup, too. She explores alternative and conventional medicines for women's health, as well as the integration of the two.

I haven't read SS's new book, but did read the first one. In that book, she was backed up by doctors who had been researching bio-identical hormones.
I do not believe the doctors who say b-hrt is harmful either. The pharmasuetical companies are using their money and influence to stop b-hrt and don't care that it helps many women, including me.
If there are any side effects, such as with regular hrt, I will accept them. For me, quality of life is more important than quantity. Before b-hrt, I was suffering from depression, hot flashes, weight gain and mental flakiness. I am able to function now and feel better than I have in years.
I don't pay much attention to anything else SS promotes, sells or discusses, but my experience is that she is backed up by doctors when discussing technical/medical issues.
