The Miracle of Natural Hormones
This is a book for anyone who has struggled to feel well or "normal" and who has suffered from chronic health problems without having any reasons as to why. It gives an easy-to-read overview of the hormonal connection to optimal health. He addresses many key hormones in separate chapters and gives some real life patient case studies to illustrate how these hormones can make a difference. Plus, Dr. Brownstein also touches on diet and other daily life choices that can affect our overall health. He stresses that natural hormones are better than synthetic and explains very simply why that's true. This book very clearly shows the reader that this doctor has compassion and empathy for his patients. Kinda gives you hope that there are others out there.

A Must Read For Those Interested In Holistic Medicine
This book is a wonderful introduction to the use of natural hormones to treat a variety of conditions. Dr. Brownstein presents a compelling case for the use of natural hormones (as opposed to synthetic hormones which are commonly used) through his easy-to-read explanations of the benefits of natural hormones and through the use of the case studies. I found Dr. Brownstein's holistic approach to the treatment of many illnesses including menopause, PMS, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, and many others very enlightening. Dr. Brownstein also discusses the use of vitamins, minerals, and a proper diet to treat all of the above conditions. I could not believe all of the information contained in this book. I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in taking an active role in their health care.

great book
The miracle of natural hormones is a wonderful book! It is concise and easily readable. As an M.D. I am constantly confronted with patients that I can not help. This book provides a fresh look at a number of common complaints. It provides a framework for good health with its section on nutrition, and an alternative way of looking at a number of conditions that are often very hard to improve. I recommend it highly to anyone who feels that their doctor has not been able to help them, or for anyone seeking a more natural alternative to the usual prescription remedies
