Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must have book
Carolyn Chambers Clark has written a MUST HAVE book for women of all ages who want to be in control of their own health, particularly during the life-changing time of menopause. Even young women would benefit from a copy, should they face the possibility of instant menopause due to a complete hysterectomy. My copy of the book is full of highlighted passages I'll need to refer to again. Highly recommended.





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Symptom by symptom response
This book gives herbal, mineral, and vitamin responses on a symptom by symptom basis of menopausal symptoms. It is a very thorough response.

So even if you're using HRT, Dr. Clark provides numerous ... Read More
