Long description
Since 1950 breast cancer incidence has risen by 60 percent -- and each year over 40,000 American women die from it. Conventional treatment protocols are simply not working and -- worse -- they may even be harmful. But women do have prevention and treatment choices their doctors may not be telling them about. Now John R. Lee, M.D., and David Zava, Ph.D., explain these options and offer potentially lifesaving strategies to lower risk and help stop this devastating disease. Bestselling author Dr. John Lee has led the way in using natural progesterone therapy for lifelong health for pre-and post-menopausal women. Now he joins forces with breast cancer researcher Dr. David Zava to create a breakthrough hormone balance program that could help save your life. Discover: The problem with conventional ERT and HRT: how synthetic hormones may trigger cancerThe long-term risks of birth control pillsThe breast cancer drugs currently used that may be doing as much harm as good -- and why doctors use them anywayThe unsettling truth about mammograms and radiation therapyThe protective benefits of using natural hormones to create balanceThe potential dangers in our homes, our water, and food With a revolutionary program featuring natural progesterone, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer shows women how they can help prevent breast cancer and help eliminate a recurrence if they have already had the disease. Based on cutting-edge research, this progressive approach to hormone balance is both eye-opening and empowering.
