This additional research is combined with new information about menopause and mood, weight gain during menopausal transition, breast cancer survivors taking estrogen, the positive effect of estrogen on dementia and Alzheimers, and new alternatives to traditional HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for managing hot flashes, improving bone density, and assisting breast cancer survivors.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book never could have been written without the contributions of numerous health professionals. To begin with, John Arpels, M.D., gynecologist and specialist in menopause, gave me hours and hours of his time, patiently explaining concepts ranging from the simple to the most complex. His unique understanding of the field is reflected throughout the sections dealing with traditional medical interventions.

I would also especially like to thank Harriet Beinfield, L.Ac., acupuncturist, San Francisco; Bruce Ettinger, M.D., osteoporosis specialist, Kaiser Permanente, San Francisco; JoAnn Hattner, R.D., clinical dietitian, Stanford Medical School; Anna Harvey, D.C., chiropractor and herbalist, Mill Valley, California; Ifeoma Ikenze, M.D., homeopath, San Anselmo, California; Patricia T. Kelly, Ph.D., medical geneticist, Los Angeles; Efrem Korngold, L.Ac., O.M.D., acupuncturist, San Francisco; Victoria Maclin, M.D., reproductive endocrinologist, Rush Medical College, Chicago; Norma McCoy, Ph.D., psychologist, San Francisco State University; Scott Nelson, Ph.D., psychologist, Mill Valley, California; Martin L. Rossman, M.D., acupuncturist, Mill Valley, California; Richard Schmidt, M.D., urologist, University of California, San Francisco; Barbara Sherwin, Ph.D., psychologist, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec; Meir Stampfer, M.D., Ph.D., epidemiologist, Harvard Medical School, Boston; and Dana Ullman, M.P.H., homeopath, Berkeley, California. Each of these health professionals was kind enough to answer my questions whenever I called and to check the relevant sections of the manuscript for accuracy.

In addition, Gloria Bachmann, M.D.; Patricia Baldwin, R.N., N.P.; Stanley Birge, M.D.; Luann Brizendine, M.D.; Sharon de Buren, N.P.; Graham Colditz, M.D.P.H.; Nona Cunningham, M.D.; Winnifred B. Cutler, Ph.D.; Barbara Drinkwater, Ph.D.; Frederika Ebel-Riehl; Ricardo Fernandez, M.D.; Julie Freiberg, N.P., L.Ac.; Jan Gibbs, R.N.; Mark Glasser, M.D.; Paul Goldsmith, Ph.D.; Sadja Greenwood, M.D.; Sonia Hamburger, B.A.; Joel Hargrove, M.D.; Jordan Horowitz, M.D.; Jifan Hu, Ph.D.; Greggory Johnson, P.T.; Helen Singer Kaplan, M.D., Ph.D.; Graham Kelly, M.D.; Michael Klaper, M.D.; Albert Kligman, M.D.; Fredi Kronenberg, Ph.D.; Sandra Leiblum, Ph.D.; Edward M. Lichten, M.D.; Rogerio Lobo, M.D.; Chris Longcope, M.D.; Ed Lufkin, M.D.; Robert Marcus, M.D.; William Masters, M.D.; Bruce McEwen, M.D.; Kathryn Morris, M.D.; Mary Moss, R.N., N.P.; Lila Nachtigall, M.D.; Frederick Naftolin, M.D.; Morris Notelovitz, M.D., Ph.D.; Robert Phelps, M.D.; Malcolm Powell, M.D.; Quentin Regestein, M.D.; Jacqueline Sa; Susan Schiffman, Ph.D.; David Shefrin, N.D.; Leon Speroff, M.D.; Sandra Swain, M.D.; Maida Taylor, M.D.; Wolf Utian, M.D.; Joyce Venis, R.N.C.; Roland Young, M.D.; and Ed Zelniker, Ph.D., all gave generously of their time and knowledge. I could not have done the book without them.

The life of the book really came from all of the women who took the time to share with me the joys and hardships of their personal transitions through menopause. Many even continued to telephone periodically to keep me apprised of the results of their most recent experiences.
