The actress that played Chrissy (the ditzy blonde on Three’s Company) has written a new book on balancing health naturally. Suzanne Somers has been a pioneer in the field of natural medicines. In her latest work, Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness, “explains the damaging impact hormonal imbalances have on both women and men while arguing strongly that there are natural alternatives to hormone-replacement drugs like Premarin.”
She’s always been a health advocate, but she began to shun drugs when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the cancer accelerate as she began menopause. Doctors wanted to prescribe her all kinds of things to help her menopause symptoms, but it got to be that she was getting five or six meds to take all at once. She wanted a more natural way.
She says, “I went from doctor to doctor, and they all wanted to give me drugs until finally I realized that I had to find out more on my own. MDs typically get four hours of instruction on prescribing hormones … I have spent 1,000s of hours researching this.”
