From the bestselling Authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Menopause. Since 1950, breast cancer incidence has risen by 60 percent—and each year over 40,000 American women die from it. Conventional treatment protocols are simply not working and—worse—they may even be harmful. But women do have prevention and treatment choices their doctors may not be telling them about. Now John R. Lee, M.D., David Zava, Ph.D. and Virginia Hopkins explain these options and offer potentially lifesaving strategies to lower risk and help stop this devastating disease.

Bestselling author Dr. John Lee has led the way in using natural progesterone therapy for lifelong health for pre- and post-menopausal women. Now he joins forces with breast cancer researcher Dr. David Zava to create a breakthrough hormone balance program that could help save your life.
