Summary: READ It! HEED It!
Review: "Hormone Heresy" has been a revelation for me, and has given me the information and confidence to make major changes regarding my physical health. I have spent over 25 years in the traditional, allopathic healthcare environment and was always convinced, both as a patient and an "insider", that continued use of HRT would keep me healthy and slow down the aging process. I have also been a proponent / consumer of alternative healthcare therapies for several years, but did not realize that my hormonal health was as compromised as it was. After reading Ms. Sellman's data and her observations of the politics and dynamics associated with women's health, I recognized that many of my health problems, symptoms, and lack of energy were directly associated with my body being "over-estrogened", causing imbalances in many areas of my system. I have followed her suggestions regarding natural hormones, supplements, and diet, and have chosen to pay attention to my own body's wisdom rather than the misguided advice of unenlightened physicians. As a result, I am healthier, clearer-minded, and have more energy than I have experienced in years. I am 51 years old, 17 years post-op total hysterectomy, and spent 16 years on Premarin. Prior to my hysterectomy, I spent 10 years on birth control pills. (I've done myself a lot of hormone damage!) Today, I feel more vital than I did 20 years ago, and I would not be in the balanced physical condition that I am had I not discovered this book.It is as important to me that we strive to become healthy and balanced in our own bodies as we work to heal our environment and natural resources. For this reason, I have passed along several copies of this book to friends and family. You will want to keep this book as continued reference, and you also will want to share copies with other women whose well-being is important to you.

Summary: This book will not only change your life,it may save it.
Review: Hormone Heresy is a book that all women who want to be in charge of their health MUST read. The book is clearly written and is highly informative and will provide women with an informed choice about H.R.T. Women must know the information in this book. Much of the information is based on research and will shock many readers. This book gives women the information they need to reclaim the power to make decisions on H.R.T. You will recognise yourself in the illuminating case studies and know you are not alone or going mad. This is a courageous book and I applaud Ms. Sellman for her great contribution to te health and empowerment of women. Men who partner women on the pill or women who are menopausal, must read this book as it will help them to understand what is going on and can be empowering to them also. This book can change your life and maybe save it.

Summary: Ridiculous New Age Fluff
Review: I just wanted to comment on the one star review given by a Ms. Angela Harris, who obviously did not read the book. For one thing, during an out of context review of Ms. Sellman's discussion of Endometriosis, she carelessly quotes another author, impling that Ms. Sellman made the statement, and uses this quote of a quote as a jumping off point to attack Ms. Sellman on her treatment of Endometriosis. Is that the best you can do Angela? She is obviously very frightened of the information in this book and is making a futile attempt to attack the author at all costs. This is information you can not get anywhere else! I have read this book and all of Ms. Sellman's excellent articles in Nexus magazine, and they are all scientific, scholarly, and well-thought out. The truth of the matter is that she is right, whether she is talking about mamograms causing cancer ("mamoscams", see homefirst.com), the pill, HRT, or estrogen overload. This is not x-flies stuff, that can not be proven. The facts are there, read it and judge for yourself.

Summary: Ridiculous New Age Fluff
Review: If you believe that mother earth and the moon have the power to heal you, than this is the book for you. Just empower your feminine nature, and heck, you'll feel better. This is your typical new age opinionated .... Too bad the author is passing off this book as medical advice for women. There's nothing in this book that could be described as "ground breaking" information. I'm glad I got this from the library and didn't waste money on this.

Summary: Hormone Heresy? How bout feminine heresy?
Review: If you can get past Ms. Sellman's vitriolic diatribe against the Pharmaceutical industry, and Male physicians, there is a wealth of information every woman should know. I could certainly do without her insipid social commentary. One of the worst parts is near the end of the book, under the heading of 'Creating Sacred Feminine Power', we are encouraged to "Take time either by yourself or with friends to have a full moon meditation". Isn't that sweet? What the hell does that mean? I hate crap like that. Because her research seems so thorough I trudged through that kind of psycho-babble garbage, to get to the very informative facts. This is another one of those, "Women are Saints, Men are very very Bad", books. Read it for the facts, and try to ignore her definite prejudices. I for one, adore men, and her advise on natural projesterone just makes me able to love them more.

Summary: ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS ON WOMEN'S HEALTH EVER!
Review: Please don't wait another minute! Read Sherrill Sellman's comprehensive book "Hormone Heresy"; her world class research and insight are unprecedented. EVERY woman and every MAN who loves a woman MUST read this book. It is easy to understand yet the depth is extraordinary. Lay people, pharmacists, chemists and doctors will gain invaluable insight. I believe it will prove one of the most influential health related books of the decade, as it will improve and save women's lives from teens to seniors--maybe even yours or a loved one.
