Book Synopsis



REVISADO Y ACTUALIZADO

El libro que cambió la conversación sobre la terapia de reemplazo hormonal (TRH)

Unadefensa convincente y "fascinante" (Robert Cialdini) de la terapia de reemplazo hormonal (TRH) que evidencia de manera contundente sus beneficios para la salud y longevidad de las mujeres y expone las conclusiones científicas erradas que provocaron su rechazo.

Durante años, la terapia de reemplazo hormonal (TRH) fue aclamada como un milagro. Estudio tras estudio demostraron que si se inicia este tratamiento al inicio de la menopausia, podría aliviar síntomas como bochornos y pérdida de memoria; reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardíacas, alzhéimer, osteoporosis y algunos tipos de cáncer; e incluso prolongar la esperanza de vida de la mujer. Pero cuando la Iniciativa de Salud de la Mujer (WHI) anunció que las mujeres que tomaban TRH tenían un mayor riesgo de cáncer de mama, el miedo al estrógeno se disparó y se abandonó la terapia hormonal.

Ahora, el oncólogo Bluming y la psicóloga social Tavris revelan la verdadera historia de los datos distorsionados que divulgó la WHI. Investigan qué fue lo que llevó al público en general --y a muchos médicos-- a aceptar tan fácilmente las afirmaciones incorrectas y alarmistas de la WHI, a la vez que ofrecen una visión más completa de la ciencia que respalda la TRH. Entre las importantes novedades de esta edición revisada y actualizada se incluyen:

Evidencia que desmiente la afirmación de la WHI de que la TRH causa cáncer de mama, así como una lista de sus retractaciones.

Investigación actualizada sobre los beneficios del estrógeno en el corazón, cerebro y huesos, así como en la longevidad.

Una revisión crítica de los productos y medicamentos alternativos que se están comercializando para tratar los síntomas de la menopausia.

Una lectura sobria y reveladora que aclara los beneficios del estrógeno y ofrece una guía para las mujeres que atraviesan los cambios de la menopausia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

REVISED and UPDATED Edition, 2024​ A compelling, "fascinating" (Robert Cialdini) defense of hormone replacement therapy, exposing the faulty science behind its fall from prominence and giving women the evidence they need to make informed decisions about their health.

"Estrogen Matters will change your life."―Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The New Menopause

"Estrogen Matters was my antidote to the misinformation surrounding menopause. This book should be the bible for every single person going through menopause."―Naomi Watts

For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was the medically approved way to alleviate menopausal symptoms (ranging from hot flushes to brain fog) and reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. But when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) announced, with national fanfare, that women taking HRT had an increased risk of breast cancer, women were scared off, and the treatment was abandoned.

Now, Dr. Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr. Tavris, a social psychologist, reveal the true story of the WHI's efforts to distort their data to exaggerate unsupported claims of estrogen's harms. Important updates in this edition include:

Evidence that demolishes the WHI's claim that HRT causes breast cancer.

A list of the WHI's retractions of their original scare stories.

Updated findings on estrogen's benefits on heart, brain, bones, and longevity.

A critical review of the alternative products and medications being marketed to treat symptoms of menopause.

A sobering and revelatory read, Estrogen Matters sets the record straight on estrogen's benefits, providing a light to guide women through this inevitable phase of life.
