We imagine you might find of interest a physician who is not a favorite of pharmaceutical companies. He treats causes of illness, not symptoms, and is successful because he gets patients off most, if not all, medications, and, is a big believer in supplements.
Dr. Platt uses natural bio-identical hormones (not synthetic), mostly progesterone, for wellness. He has concerns about the dangers of estrogen replacement. His book is praised by a plethora of wellness colleagues, compounding pharmacists and patients from the U.S. and from around the world. He has devoted 34 years of his life to balancing hormones - a concept that apparently was, and still is, not taught in medical school. His book is also an excellent primer for compounding pharmacists and wellness colleagues interested in working with natural bio-identical hormones.
