HRT: Licensed to Kill and Maim
A New Book by Martin Walker
The unheard voices of women damaged by HRT
"In 1996 Maggie Tuttle managed to come off HRT. Coping with adverse reactions, she placed an add in a newspaper asking if anyone else was having a similar experience. Six years later when Maggie folded the Menopausal Helpline, she had received over 10,000 letters. Licensed to Kill and Maim, gives a voice to the women who wrote to her, while investigating the history and marketing of HRT. The book asks questions about a health care system in which pharmaceutical companies first create illnesses, then create drugs to 'cure' them." (Slingshot web site).
'I have never been a fan of HRT for various reasons. Reading through Martin Walker's well researched, clearly documented and quite terrifying book has confirmed to me that HRT is one of the great mistakes of the 20th and 21st centuries and should be consigned to the history books as soon as possible!'
Jenny Seagrove
