Product Description

Tales from the Vine: Juicy Tomatoes Talk About Being Female, Over Fifty, and in Full Bloom

Juicy Tomatoes introduces you to a group of women who will happily plead guilty to being female and over fifty. That's because they know that being a fifty-plus woman means having wisdom, passion, and savvy to spare, and that the second half of life can be just as fun and fulfilling as the first. They've seen through the myths that say an over-fifty woman can't have good sex or a new career and they've forged ahead despite societal pressure to quietly step down. These juicy tomatoes are redefining what it means to be a woman over fifty and blazing a trail that promises to change the culture and the lives of those green tomatoes who come after them. Juicy Tomatoes is a refreshing and revealing look at how women meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities that come with age. These stories from life beyond fifty are funny, poignant, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest.

"Written with insight, humor, and a 'we're getting older so we may as well enjoy it' spirit, Juicy Tomatoes perfectly captures the real issues and essence of midlife for women." - Susan Evans and Joan Avis, authors of The Women Who Broke All the Rules: How the Choices of a Generation Changed Our Lives

"Juicy Tomatoes is one of those books you'll read and then give to all your women friends. It's insightful, optimistic, wise, and yes, funny. Susan Swartz is telling us things we all need to know about ourselves." - Robin Beeman, author of A Parallel Life and Other Stories and A Minus Tide

Review Date: December 9, 2000
Reviewer: , Snohomish, WA, USA
My sister, who is older, sent me this book. I wanted to cry with appreciation. I could never put in words the feelings that I had inside untill I read this book. We are all special no matter what our age. With youth comes beauty, but the beauty that women of a certain age have, comes from confidence and wisdom. This book only confirms what I knew deep inside all the time.

Review Date: December 7, 2000
Reviewer: Robert Lema, Mokelumne Hill, CA USA
Yes -- age matters, like size. Yes -- Madonna will undergo menopause. No -- age is a debit. No -- personal strength and clarity suffers by getting older. For Juicy Tomatoes (and their harvesters) this book is a MUST! Susan Swartz defines women by their commitment to LIFE, and ENERGY, and their FUTURE. Not by the clock, not by the male images in American Beauty. Not just a must-read. A must-live!!!
For me and all my "juicy" friends.

Three weeks ago I heard the author on the radio and went out and bought the book. Ten pages later I went to Amazon.com and bought 5 copies for friends. Today I am ordering 3 more. I even recommended it to my therapist!
Juicy humor
 
Review Date: February 4, 2001
Reviewer: , Calif
Susan Swartz combines optimism, humor, and reality in ways few people manage. Sure, menopause signals the end of a phase of life, AND it opens new doors. Her numerous interviews reveal about every possible take on this unavoidable part of life, from women in all walks of life. A great gift for a friend who's there, or almost there.
Good News About Turning 50 and Beyond
 
Review Date: September 27, 2006
Reviewer: O. Brown, Twopeas, WA
****
This was a great little book (200 pages, 7.5" x 5.5" book)! It consists of chapters with various themes (e.g., "Up with Menopause") filled with short experpts of women's opinions and then text/commentary about them.

It is a small book packed with a lot of wisdom, though. If you're feeling down about turning 50, or feel like life is getting more limited rather than expansive, this is the book for you. Or, if you're aging and not liking it, this is also the book for you. I thought it was wonderful; it made me excited about going through menopause.

It's an easy, fun read that will even appeal to non-readers because of the format. It also would make a terrific gift!

Seemed like a reprint of a bulletin board
 
Review Date: July 19, 2006
Reviewer: Carol J. Whann, Lake Tahoe
The book was primarily a reprint of short quotes grouped together by subject. There was no summary information or analysis. I stopped reading half way through. Very boring!

Product Description

A comprehensively researched book that explains how the use of conventional hormone replacement therapies have put women at great risk and shows the suffering they have endured. It provides women of all ages the vital information necessary for making informed choices; such as the scientific research that shows that synthetic hormones used in HRT and The Pill contribute to breast, ovarian and uterine cancers and further, how longer term use contributes to CFS, liver disease, impaired thyroid function and reduced or complete deletion of a woman's sex drive.

Beginning with an explanation of how the medicalization of women's reproductive cycles has brought about the enslavement of modern woman into a cycle of chemical entrapment and it concludes with practical and natural alternatives to safely and effectively handle peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. Women from around the world have commented on its easy readability, it's sensible approach to the changing times that each woman will experience during her lifetime.

This invaluable volume contains the most optimal, safe and effective solutions to hormonal imbalance at whatever age it occurs. With the knowledge and understanding held within this book women are inspired to create a "hormonal balancing" program for their long term health.

READ It! HEED It!
 
Review Date: April 18, 2000
Reviewer: Gerry Ganong, Tulsa, Oklahoma
"Hormone Heresy" has been a revelation for me, and has given me the information and confidence to make major changes regarding my physical health. I have spent over 25 years in the traditional, allopathic healthcare environment and was always convinced, both as a patient and an "insider", that continued use of HRT would keep me healthy and slow down the aging process. I have also been a proponent / consumer of alternative healthcare therapies for several years, but did not realize that my hormonal health was as compromised as it was. After reading Ms. Sellman's data and her observations of the politics and dynamics associated with women's health, I recognized that many of my health problems, symptoms, and lack of energy were directly associated with my body being "over-estrogened", causing imbalances in many areas of my system. I have followed her suggestions regarding natural hormones, supplements, and diet, and have chosen to pay attention to my own body's wisdom rather than the misguided advice of unenlightened physicians. As a result, I am healthier, clearer-minded, and have more energy than I have experienced in years. I am 51 years old, 17 years post-op total hysterectomy, and spent 16 years on Premarin. Prior to my hysterectomy, I spent 10 years on birth control pills. (I've done myself a lot of hormone damage!) Today, I feel more vital than I did 20 years ago, and I would not be in the balanced physical condition that I am had I not discovered this book.

It is as important to me that we strive to become healthy and balanced in our own bodies as we work to heal our environment and natural resources. For this reason, I have passed along several copies of this book to friends and family. You will want to keep this book as continued reference, and you also will want to share copies with other women whose well-being is important to you.

A Life Saving Book

Review Date: May 29, 2001
Reviewer: ,
If you are a woman, you MUST read this book. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I have done intense amounts of research on the subject since that time. The author has put together in one book the information it took me months to collect. Caution! If you read this book, you will never again be able to look at yourself or your Doctors with the same thought patterns. "Where was I when this information became known?" Why didn't my Doctors inform me of this knowledge before my body parts had to be cut off and my life threatened?
A MUST read for every woman!
 
Review Date: July 21, 1998
Reviewer: ,
Sherrill Sellman's: Hormone Heresy is a must read!! The many questions about hormones and our womanhood have been addressed in a sympathetic and informative manner. This book probes and encourages us to take charge of our health, physically, emotionally and spiritually. A wonderful text to keep coming back to. Particularly enjoyed the scope of information; the author skillfully combining scientific data with social commentary.

Product Description

In recent years, the conventional recommendation for women entering menopause or experiencing hormonal fluctuations has been synthetic hormone treatment with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or birth control pills, depending on a woman’s stage of life, according to Dr. Lucille. But the messages from the medical establishment and the media have been confusing and often conflicting, and women are now asking questions and seeking alternative solutions to managing their hormones, from puberty to perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Dr. Lucille’s book answers many questions, including:
• What are hormones? A guide to the endocrine system, life cycles and recognizing your body’s signals when something is wrong
• What are the underlying causes of hormone imbalance? Understanding estrogen – beneficial estrogens, the dangers of estrogen dominance and supplements that can help hormone balance
• What is the stress connection? Stress and the connection to your hormones, adrenal glands, metabolism and thyroid
• What are some natural ways to obtain relief? An in-depth look at natural remedies for hot flashes and night sweats, energy, sleep and reduced libido
• How do I get the most out of my doctor visit? Tips on collecting your health history, researching possible health risks and becoming your own advocate

Product Description

More doctors are recommending natural (also called bio-identical) hormones-because they offer all the advantages of synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) without the negative side effects or long-term health risks. Unlike synthetic HRT, natural hormones are bio-identical: they match a woman's own hormones exactly and don't interfere with the body's normal hormone production. They are safer and more effective, providing protective benefits that range from alleviating unpleasant symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and PMS to protecting against osteoporosis, endometrial cancer, and other diseases.

Topics covered include:

- What are natural hormones and how do they work?
- Why are natural hormones better and safer than synthetic HRT drugs?
- Do natural hormones increase the risk for breast cancer?
- Can natural hormones control midlife weight gain?
- Does natural progesterone help alleviate PMS?
- Will natural hormones improve skin?
- How to find the right doctor
- The latest on the recent NIH study
