Book Description (from Amazon.com website) Seven years ago, in order to mitigate the effects of menopause, Julia Elliott began using soy in her diet. This is her story. With her doctor charting her changes as she used soy instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Elliott lessened her menopausal effects. Read about her medical odyssey. What exactly did soy do for her menopausal symptoms? Can soy help with heart disease and osteoporosis? This book provides some interesting, informative, and surprising common sense solutions. In addition, the book is a sourcebook for health and hope, offering voluminous resources about the topics of soy and menopause. It also includes dozens of soy and tofu recipes. About the Author Julia Elliott has come to be known as a "Soy Source" on the internet. Ms. Elliott has frequently appeared on radio and television, and at workshops and lectures promoting her home-grown, whole soybean philosophy. Julia Elliot sent us the following: "I have lived soy for over nine years and wish to share the good bad and the ugly to all others that are looking for an alternative. The emphaisi is on the mid life woman, but covers other topics such as mens health and other areas that soy may affect. Please advise me if you are interested in including my personal experience via my book, which includes the comments of doctors and professionals including the NE Menopause Society. My own doctor has written the forward to this book, and I have include many issues that affect todays baby boomer population."

When I wrote to her to explain we would state that clearly, she responded: "In fact it was while I was waiting for the results of the lumpectomy that I decided to turn to natural and throw away the Premarin my GYN prescribed. I promised myself that I would find a natural food that would help maintain a healthy hormone balance for me. It came back benign, and September 10th 1993, my new doctor and I began the voyage into soy. He wrote the prelude for the book and is still a constant source of guidance and encouragement.
