Testosterone Dreams or The HRT Free Menopause Breathrough

Testosterone Dreams: Rejuvenation, Aphrodisia, Doping

Author: John Hoberman

Testosterone has inspired dreams--of restored youth, recharged sexual appetites, faster running, quicker thinking, bigger muscles--since it was first synthesized in 1935. This provocative book investigates the complex, bizarre, and sometimes outrageous history of synthetic testosterone and other male hormone therapies. Exploring many little-known social arenas--both inside and outside the medical world--in which these substances are becoming increasingly available and accepted, Testosterone Dreams examines the implications and dangers of their use in professional sports, in the workplace, in our sex lives, and beyond.
Testosterone Dreams tells the story of testosterone's growing and sometimes concealed influence in our culture over the past 70 years. It explores such controversial topics as the invention and marketing of the male menopause, the disturbing history of hormonal and other medical treatments aimed at boosting or suppressing women's sexuality, and hormone doping in sporting events such as the Tour de France and the Olympics, and in Major League Baseball. It brings to light the hidden use of hormone doping by policemen, soldiers, and other workers in a variety of jobs. It also discusses the burgeoning steroid use in the gay community and its relation to AIDS, and takes a hard look at the pharmaceutical industry's promotional campaigns to create new markets for testosterone products.
Testosterone Dreams is the first book to bring together the whole story of testosterone and to consider its social and ethical implications: Where does therapy end and performance enhancement begin? How are changing medical technologies affecting how we think about our identities asmen and women and the elusive goal of "well-being"? This book will be essential reading as we move inexorably toward the wide-open, libertarian pharmacology that is now making these drug regimes available to a wider and wider clientele.

The HRT-Free Menopause Breathrough: New Natural Alternatives

Author: Marilyn Glenvill

Focusing on the new discoveries recently announced in the media, HRT Free Menopause reveals what these latest studies really mean. It explores HRT and its side effects — including what the drug companies don't want you to know. The book details which tests, supplements, herbs, and foods can help women get through menopause naturally, safely, and as comfortably as possible. In clear, accessible writing, the author provides the most up-to-date, practical advice on how to eliminate night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, and mood swings without drugs or HRT. Included as well is a discussion of the essence of so-called "natural" progesterone and the importance of soy-based phytoestrogen supplements. Glenville both outlines the underlying issues and provides specific tools for women so that they can be empowered to attain optimal health throughout menopause.
