From Library Journal
Wright (Natural Hormone Replacement for Women Over 40, Smart Pub., 1997) proposes that many symptoms of aging can be significantly lessened by appropriate replacement of testosterone. Like other recent writers (Jed Diamond, Male Menopause, LJ 7/98; Charles Inlander, Men's Health and Wellness Encyclopedia, LJ 5/1/98), Wright favors the term "male menopause" for the climacteric. Like Eugene Shippen (The Testosterone Syndrome, LJ 4/1/98), Wright reviews the clinical research of the last 60 years and concludes that critical sex hormone imbalances occur in both sexes in midlife and that natural testosterone therapy is beneficial in treating a number of symptoms and diseases long thought part of the normal aging process: heart disease, prostate disease, muscle and bone weakness, depression, high cholesterol, weight gain, and diminished mental acuity, as well as sexual libido and performance. Wright includes more than most readers may want to know about testosterone; Shippen covers essentially the same ground and is probably the better purchase.?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp. Lib., New York

Thorough Coverage of a Great Subject
Rarely does a book on a health topic report the full range of evidence so thoroughly and carefully as this one. Yet with all its technical depth, the text is eminently readable. Most anyone, from physician to ordinary literate person, can understand it and benefit.

And how great is the benefit! A simple substance, a testosterone cream, rubbed on the skin, is likely to improve a broad range of conditions, including sexual performance, cardiovascular health, energy, and strength.

Unfortunately, prevailing medical dogma sees testosterone supplementation as a villain, which will cause prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. The open-minded doctor who reads this book will surely think otherwise. The possibilitly, nonetheless, of promoting an EXISTING prostate cancer is candidly discussed and precautions are advised. One must know his prostate before proceeding.

To this end there are two chapters on the prostate, the most definitive and complete discussion that I have seen (and I have read hundreds of pages on the subject).

Most authorities will contine to withhold this information from the public on the pretext of its being scientifically unproven. What a shame. The reader should trust his own judgement as to the strength of the evidence and should find an unbiased, informed physician with whom to work.

I love the book!
Dr Wright has a remarkable ability to translate complex scientific issues into clear, easily, understandable plain English. His interpretations are clear impartial, and unrelentingly logical. In addition, his implications concerning clinical relevancy are completely appropriate. His grasp of this issues and his knowledge of scientific evidence beyond the conventional pharmaceutical claims are truly remarkable.

Dr Wrights new book does for male balance and health what he, I, and others have tried to do for female hormone balance and health.

The issues raised by Drs. Wright and Lenard concerning male health are just as important as the new understandings we now have concerning female health

Confused about male heart disease, sexual potency and prostate problems? Read this new book by Drs. Wright and Lenard to learn the truth. We are in an age of rapidly expanding scientific knowledge. Should we trust the pharmaceutical industry to determine what treatment decisions are best for you? This book provides the information on male hormones and male health problems that you need to know. ...

I love the book. The title is a bit misleading. The book covers much more than just Vitality & Potency. The knowledge about testosterone and the heart is as important as anything else in the book.

missing some of the latest information
Although I thought this book was well written, giving a thorough explanation it lacked some critical information. As an example, there is only brief mention of zinc (and magnesium) deficiencies. Recent studies have shown that supplementing with 35mg of zinc and 250mg of magnesium can increase testosterone levels by 30%. As well there is no discussion of tribulus T!!
