Are you tired of taking multiple medicines or supplements for symptoms without identifying the underlying cause? Have you tried every therapy in the book and still dont feel like Yourself? Are you too young to feel this old? If any of these describe you, you need this book! Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D., shows you how women still suffer needlessly in a flawed health system that trains physicians who ignore the crucial hormone connections triggering many of the health problems that plague women. The truth is that these hormone-influenced problems are still not routinely diagnosed, and women frequently are given costly medications with side effects and drug interactions that rob them of energy and vitality. In this newly revised and expanded edition of Screaming to Be Heard, Dr. Vliet solidifies her reputation for hard-hitting, cutting-edge information, solidly based on good science, while debunking the myths and misinformation that abound in the explosion of books, magazine articles and advertising on womens health issues. This new edition explains the most recent medical discoveries and products, and addresses conflicting headlines and claims, such as: * "Natural" hormone options vs. Pregnant mares urine * Updates on testosterone for women, when to use or avoid Dhea * Blood vs. saliva tests-which are best? * "Designer" estrogens and Serms-hidden risks and pitfalls * Herbs, soy, and wild yam creams-how effective are they? * Estrogen and breast cancer-critical points the media overlooks * Estrogens effect on the heart-was the Hers Study misleading? Screaming to Be Heard is a rallying cry to every woman whose body knowledge has been dismissed as simply "hypochondriacal," "anxious-neurotic," or "hysterical." Based on Dr. Vliets twenty years of clinical practice of evaluating and treating the hormone-related problems of thousands of women, and solidly grounded in the latest medical research from around the world, Screaming to Be Heard provides the answers, hope and help not addressed in most womens health books. A long-standing womens health advocate, Dr. Vliet has taught several hundred CME courses for physicians and health professionals, as well as consumer programs. In her courses and now in her book, she describes the commonly unrecognized ovarian hormonal changes and fluctuations that trigger a wide variety of puzzling symptoms and health problems that plague women and rob them of zest and vitality. Women have said, "Dr. Vliets book reads like a medical detective story. It provides an eye-opening explanation of things we should have been told years ago, things the medical profession has failed to research and take seriously." Screaming to Be Heard was recently recommended by Harvards Womens Health Watch newsletter as one of the top three books on perimenopause.
