Book in progress . . . HOW TO JORNEY    THROUGH MOENOPAUSE         WITH WISDOM       A Case Study presented to elucidate       an effective patient-doctor relationship       in finding the best individualized       intervention strategy for each woman       in her own journey through menopause. Dear Friends,      I write this letter to all the women who are close to or have entered into menopause to help others avoid some of the pitfalls and difficulties I got myself into, to share some of the helpful habits I discovered during my own Journey through menopause, and describe how I took control of my recovery from severe damages I experienced from the most prevalent Hormonal Replacement Therapy administered to women beginning menopause, Premarin and Provera. If you are taking either of these medications, or know anyone who is, you may benefit from reading my story and my discoveries. You will also learn about the power of love and friendship, from those who supported me through my Journey. Thank you for letting me share my story with you. Writing my story, and knowing that it may help others not to repeat the same mistakes, has been the best therapy for me. If you do not wish to read my story, just skip it and read Chapter 10, where I summarize what I found worked for me. A mild, non cancer producing Estrogen (Estriol), and a bone-building, sleep inducing, Natural Progesterone. I obtain restful sleep, feel young, have tremendous stamina level, with my memory back like in my twenties, and most of all much wiser.             Enjoy,                       Viera Ivanovna Pablant, Ph.D. WEBGURU: NOVIMIR PABLANT ANTONIUK AMICITAS@SAN.RR.COM LAST UPDATE 9| 2004BR>
