About The Blessings Of The Curse : No More

No More Periods?Observing the radical shift in the medicalcommunity toward menstrual suppression as a viable option in women shealth, Dr. Rako sees not only a vast information gap for women, but aserious health crisis on the horizon. Drug companies and many healthprofessionals are promoting the idea that it is okay, even preferable,for women to forgo their periods if they are not trying to get pregnant, and many women, when faced with the choice, are seriously consideringthat option. But what isn t being discussed enough are the hazards ofsuch suppression, risks that include osteoporosis, heart attacks,strokes, and cancer.In No More Periods? Dr. Rako delvesinto the whys, hows, and musts of women s gynecological health and takes a reasoned stand for believing that nature and our bodies have anintelligence about this critical issue. This book is a call to sanityfrom a woman who has become known as a devout defender of women s health rights."Tampering with the hormonal climate of healthymenstruating women, including teenage girls whose lives stretch aheadfor decades, for the purpose of doing away with their periods is, in aword, reckless. Manipulating women s hormonal chemistry for the purposeof menstrual suppression threatens to be the largest uncontrolledexperiment in the history of medical science. Hands down.Whatthe media has not conveyed, what the public has not heard, what too fewhealth professionals know, and what every woman and her doctor must know about the hazards of menstrual suppression deserves a voice. I amdetermined that it will have one." Susan Rako, M.D.
