Amazon.com An informative and absorbing read for both medical practitioners and their patients, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer takes aim at "the breast cancer industry" with a barrage of thought-provoking ammunition. The book is equal parts criticism and suggestion. Current health treatments, including HRT, receive serious condemnation, and authors John Lee and David Zava carefully provide plenty of medical research to back up claims that excessive estrogen is a main source of cancer-causing irregularities. While the names of all the different natural and synthetic hormones can get overwhelming for the lay reader, with perseverance your new vocabulary of terms like androstenedione, estradiol, and cortisol will enable you to communicate more effectively with your doctors. The authors credit these hormones not just with a role in cancer, but with culpability for everything from insomnia and acne to fatigue and migraines. A full chapter extols the virtues of natural progesterone cream, and urges women to order their own saliva tests for proper evaluation of their hormone levels. Diet and exercise recommendations are simple, outlining reasons to limit fats, sugars, and meats while increasing vegetables and adding a multivitamin. These recommendations extend to adolescents and urge getting off the couch and beginning a gentle exercise program to women of all ages and in each stage of life. --Jill Lightner

what your dr. may not tell you about breast cancer April 5, 2008 This is an amazing book. Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, I consider this my bible. I would recommend this to every woman of every age, whether they have cancer or not. I wish I had read it before I was diagnosed. Dr. Lee was an incredible and intelligent man.

This is a very good book that every woman should read if you have a family history of breast cancer OR other cancers. This book really helped me get on the the path to start my success of breaking the cycle. At times it was a tough ready, as I am not a medical person, but it did give me the tools so I can refer back. I will be keeping this on file and using it as a guide for the future. I also high recommend the hormone balance test that the book recommends. I have completed it and on a great treatment that is changing my life.

I found the first chapter of this book to be interesting particularly because it discusses where breast cancer came from and why we can't prevent it.
*Current breast cancer drugs can hurt us just as well that can help us. *The potential dangers in our home, our water, and food. *Gives different perspectives of opinions and options.
