Barbara Seaman

The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women

Exploding the Estrogen Myth

Ebook (EPUB Format)

With the ardent tone of a close friend, Barbara Seaman draws on forty years of journalistic research to expose the menopause industry and shows how estrogen therapy often causes more problems—including breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke—than it cures. The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women tracks the well-intentioned discovery of synthetic estrogen through the unconscionable and misleading promotion of a dangerous drug.

Über den Autor

One of the nation's most tireless health advocates, BARBARA SEAMAN (1935-2008) co-founded the National Women's Health Network and pioneered a new style of health reporting that focused on patients' rights. Her groundbreaking investigative book, The Doctor's Case Against the Pill (1969), prompted Senate hearings in the 1970s that led to a warning label on oral contraceptives and the drastic lowering of estrogen doses due to dangerous health effects. Dedicated to reaching a wide audience, Seaman wrote columns for Brides Magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, and Ms., inspiring women around the world to take control of their own health. Seaman was a founding advisory board member of and key advisor to Seven Stories Press.
