For several millennia, women all over the world have experienced menopause as a transition out of fertility without medical intervention. Even today, the Japanese don't have a word for hot flashes, nor do the Mayan Indians recognize any of our common symptoms of menopause. Folk remedies, herbs, and the "Wise Women Ways" were all that was needed to rectify a difficult menopause transition.

Today, however, things have radically changed and menopause in our society has become a medical issue. The years just before and after menopause are often a time of accelerated bone loss. As such, menopause often signals the onset of concern with osteoporosis.

In this lecture, Dr. Susan Brown, Director of The Osteoporosis Education Project, first provides insights into menopausal well being from around the world and through time. Next she details and re-analyzes the bone-loss/menopause link. She then offers her clinically tested, step-by-step program to regain endocrine balance, correct menopausal symptoms, and build lifelong bones and heart health as we age.

Therapies discussed include:

• Diet Therapy
• Vitamin and Mineral Therapy
• Herbal Therapy
• Homeopathy
• Stress Reduction
• Exercise Therapy
• Hormone Therapy and Alternatives to Hormone Therapy
• The New Mind/Body Medicine
