One of the first chapters considers the historical treatment of puberty and the results of bad medicine on the lives of women over the centuries. Even today, some of those same treatments are used in the health care of younger women. This is the question that Dr. Bright is addressing: What is best for our adolescent women today? The drugs and surgeries in mainstream medicine today, which are used to “make life better,” are shown many times to be inadequate and damaging.
