Product Description
Life Saving Benefits of Natural Hormone Balancing One would think that something as valuable as a medical discovery would achieve easy recognition and quickly develop into widespread use. The regrettable fact today is that large pharmaceutical companies dictate what therapies doctors are likely to prescribe. Once effective treatments lose patent protection, they fall into a deep abyss and are often forgotten in conventional medicine practice. The Textbook of Bio-Identical Hormones, authored by Edward Lichten, M.D., memorializes 100 years of discoveries made by pioneering physicians who have used non-patented, bio-identical hormones to prevent and treat a wide range of common diseases. Combating the Medical Establishment While battling an apathetic and often hostile medical establishment, Dr. Lichten has successfully applied, refined, and invented medical treatments that can reverse the course of disorders as diverse as migraine, type II diabetes, PMS, congestive heart failure, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis and insomnia. Treatments are supported in the scientific medical literature and/or reflect the many successful patient outcomes Dr. Lichten has observed in this practice. The case histories presented in the Textbook of Bio-Identical Hormones are by themselves compelling enough to make it a must read for physicians and health conscious individuals seeking safe, natural and effective approaches to intractable illnesses. For those not yet suffering serious disease, this book provides a roadmap for maturing women and men to safely restore their full compliment of youth hormones. The benefit of natural hormone restoration is the reversal of many unwanted effects that aging inflicts on the human body. About Edward Lichten Edward M. Lichten, M.D. became board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1976. A Fellow of the College of Surgeons and the College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Lichten soon realized that standard medical therapy left too many individuals untreated. Dr. Lichten responded by systematically pursuing alternative medical, natural and then original bio-identical research until finding therapies that he could prove would work. He discovered the cause of menstrual pain--a simple treatment and potential cure in 1982; a non-psychiatric drug treatment for premenstrual syndrome and depression in 1985; a true breakthrough in the treatment of a woman's migraines and men's cluster headaches in 1989 and in 1991. His most cherished discover occurred in 1997 when he proved to his colleagues that diabetes in men is primarily a testosterone deficiency syndrome. Pictured with a few of his dedicated and "I-want-to-live-a-healthy-life-until-I'm-100-years-old" patients, Dr. Lichten believes that we have the science and understanding to live much longer and better lives. He practices what he preaches and writes scientific articles for his peers to review. A veteran speaker having given more than 100 lectures on four continents, Dr. Lichten remains dedicated to the dictum of 'treating one patient at a time' for his or her individual needs. Dr. Lichten practices in southeastern Michigan. He wrote this book because of the dangerous state of confusion about what women and men should do to properly balance their hormones. As Dr. Lichten stated: "This book serves as an outreach...to those who I will never meet, but will hopefully find effective solutions to their medical concerns via the information conveyed herein." Life Extension expects that the Textbook of Bio-Identical Hormones will soon become part of the library of thousands of innovative physicians around the world. The cover price of the Textbook of Bio-Identical Hormones is $49.95.

Dr. Lichten is a CARING, astute physician

Reviewer: Marcia, Outer Banks NC
Textbook of Bio-identical Hormones I first read about Dr. Lichten in a very fine publication called Life Extension. I had chronic headaches & insomnia & had spent alot of money and time fruitlessly at physical therapy, chiropractic, pain centers, and of course, my local physician. Dr. Lichten immediately answered my e-mails and gave me suggestions at no charge. I read his book and researched what he wrote about and finally decided to go see him. He and his wife helped me tremendously! My headaches stopped right away with his treatment for spasms in my neck muscles and have never re-occurred. I occassionally (rarely) have headaches but they go away and are not chronic. I have been able to stop taking muscle relaxants and sleeping pills ever since the day of my appointment. Dr. Lichten helped me balance my hormones & started me on liquid vitamin D, among other nutrients. He gave me his CELL PHONE number and has given me immediate advice on different,quickly solvable issues since then when NO OTHER DOCTOR would even talk to me without an appointment. He called in a Rx for me on a SUNDAY once! My pharmacist said "How did you find a doctor that would call this in on a Sunday??" How many doctors do you know that will give you their cell phone number and not charge when they try to help??! I am in good health at 50 and credit Dr. Lichten, his wife, Carolyn, and a little bit myself because I was smart enough to find them. Marcia
Great insight, easy to read, intelligent, scientifically based

Reviewer: littlesprite,
As a fellow physician, Dr. Lichten has created an intelligent, scientifically sound textbook that reads more like a novel. Although the subject material is dense, Dr. Lichten (and his editors) have seamlessly created a phenomenal reference for anyone interested in bio-identical hormones. Each piece of data is properly cited using peer-reviewed journals (the basis for medical practice in the United States). The references come from the most prestigious world journals and from the likes of Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge Universities. It gives a careful review of testing, treatment and follow-up care that the novice person interested in learning about bio-identical hormones can understand and converse with their physician (or Dr. Lichten himself) to create a treatment strategy based on scientific knowledge. This book certainly has a special place in my reference library as a physician. It is one I go back to again and again.
Phenomenal Insomnia Protocol & No More Antidepressants!

Reviewer: K.Courier, Mebane, NC
Finally I can sleep! I've suffered from a sleep disorder with fibromyalgia most of my life. Now in my forties I feel better than my teen years. I am truly blessed. I am the best I can be thanks to Dr. Lichten. If you are interested in bioidentical hormones or need to improve your health, buy this book. His holistic anti-inflammatories work. No more pain meds. I actually forget I have asthma it's so controlled now. I've been off antidepressants for almost 2 years. It's great to be back! :D
The Secrets of Good Health
 
Review Date: February 1, 2009
Reviewer: usdoctor, Birmingham, Michigan
The TEXTBOOK of BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES is a compilation of the insight I have gleened from almost 40 years in medicine. Each chapter offers both the experiences of patients and the scientific literature in an easy to read format. You already know the key elements to improved health: sunlight, fresh air, good food, minerals, fish protein and a minimal intake of processed foods. My book makes simple the connection: no sunight --> low vitamin D; lack of iodine --> low thyroid; over stressed --> low DHEA; too much estrogen --> PMS, menstrual pain, migraine. Learn what bio-identical and natural supplements are available over-the-counter and what are prescription medication and what is compounded as bio-identical. In the book we treat men with too little testosterone --> treating their diabetes, their obesity and their heart disease with natural testosterone. Armed with this information, it is our intent that you live longer and better!
a pompous and inaccurate piece of trash

Reviewer: Christopher B. Cutter, Louisiana
If I owned the copyright for "textbook" I would have sued this author for fraud. This book is nothing more than a series of poorly written (by what appears to be a ghost writer) anecdotes. Their is nothing in here that would train a doctor or nurse on the essential art of treating hormonally challenged men and women. I was embarrassed by the lack of real science and endocrinology. I am hoping that no one buys this, reads it, and thinks that this is a true guide to treating women (or men) and actually attempts to put this nonsense into practice. If you want to learn about BHRT go to lectures with the Professional Compounding Centers of America. They have many excellent speakers who actually know what they are talking about.
