Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine
Tori Hudson, ND

Unlike many other books on "natural" medicine, this one is written by an authority who has not only studied the literature, but references it. Dr. Hudson catalogues what is known about natural medicine and distinguishes that from what is presumed or believed. She clearly identifies the shortcomings of available research, where they exist, and gives practical advice regarding when self-care is possible and when a licensed health care professional should be consulted.

The Complete Book of Menopause

Carol Landau, MD, Michele G. Cyr, MD, and Anne W. Moulton, MD

Cyr, Landau and Moulton do an excellent job of laying out all the important issues related to menopause from what it is to what to do about it and why it's important, along with all the relevant reference material if you'd like it. It's easy to read from cover-to-cover or to use as a reference to look up specific points in its thorough index. It is available in paperback. I use this book as a resource regularly and give it my highest recommendation.

No More Hot Flashes and Even More Good News
Penny Wise Budoff

menopause

This book is from the author of the famous book No More Menstrual Cramps and Other Good News from the 1970's--when many physicians still treated menstrual cramps as though they were all in our heads! Dr. Budoff is a menopausal woman herself and the founder of one of the first women's health centers in the US, so a personal and a professional perspective is apparent throughout her book. This book includes extensive information on hormone replacement therapy and alternatives, vitamins and minerals for women, muscle and joint pain, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and many other topics of interest to women over 50.

menopause This is an excellent book written by a patient with who experienced POF (Premature Ovarian Failure, also called "Premature Menopause", when she was 38 and not much was written about this condition for patients confronted with this shocking diagnosis. The forward is written by the book's medical reviewer, Michelle Warren, MD, from Columbia University, one of the foremost experts on this subject. Ms. Petras covers what is known about premature ovarian failure in a concise and easy-to-understand way and addresses what can be done to prevent the effects of premature aging due to estrogen loss in such young women.

Osteoporosis

Boning Up on Osteoporosis

The number one introductory book I recommend about osteoporosis can't be found in bookstores.

This is a "must read" for every man or woman with osteoporosis; whose grandmother, mother, or sister has osteoporosis; or who is otherwise at increased risk for this condition.
