Relief from Hot Flashes: The Natural, Drug-Free Program to Reduce Hot Flashes, Improve Sleep, and Ease Stress Paperback – June 5, 2014

I was actually part of the study and can honestly say this technique truly works. I was having several severe hot flashes a day-face and body soaked with sweat, several mild to moderate ones every hour. HRT only made them worse. A friend suggested the study to me and I called to get more info and was accepted. I was somewhat skeptical and I miserably failed the hypnotizability test-wasn't hypnotized at all, but I listened to the CD every night (if I woke up during the night I would play it again) and my hot flashes decreased dramatically. I got to where I could mentally walk myself through the technique if I felt one coming on while at work. Eventually I could go days without having a hot flash! My OB/gyn was surprised and pleased when he saw me. I stopped playing the CDs and did fine for a year, but have recently noticed the hot flashes coming back and my CDs were scratched. I bought the book to have access to the recordings and started playing it again at night when I go to bed. I turn on the recording, lie down, focus on my breathing, think relax, and I'm out. It's been 3 days this time and hot flashes are going away already!!! If it worked for me and I'm not hypnotizable, it should work for anyone. I cannot recommend it enough!!

The book would be good, but it is faulty as the website with the audio files that are promised is not correct so you get no files. FAULTY ADVERTISING! This book should be taken down by Amazon until this is rectified.

Simply amazing! Tamoxifen then Aromatase Inhibitors after ovaries were removed made hot flashes just a fact of life. The standard Rx option provided no lasting relief. The frequency and severity was so bad I began to avoid social interaction and being in public. At the end of week one I had a 34% reduction! Since then I have enjoyed a 63% reduction in the number and severity of hot flashes! I will continue to work for 80%. I sleep through the night with no flashes! In fact, I am sleeping better now than I have in years. The audio files were a bit difficult to download and put on my iPhone and I consider myself pretty technically adept. I recommend this to every woman I meet.

Too much of book is about hormone replacement, breast cancer, measuring hot flashes and other filler. I am only interested in the sleep part, so lots of this book in not relevant to me. It says that you have free access to audio files, but only has information on where to find them on page 147 in very small print at the bottom. I had to hunt to find it. That should be in large print at the beginning of the book.

Buyer beware. Even though Amazon still sells this, the publisher pulled it from the market to make the program into an app. So the link to the hypnosis files doesn’t work and without it, the book is completely useless. The scripts are not included in the book in written form. I’m sure the app will be great. Truly.

Written well by an authoritative expert in cognitive behavioral therapy for hot flashes. I recommend it to my patients who are looking for this approach for hot flashes.Mache Seibel, MDAuthor The Estrogen Fix

So, how am I supposed to access the audio file recordings? Bad link is included in the book and so I emailed the publisher. Crickets. I bought the book solely for the hypnosis audio files, so I’ll be returning the book if the publisher does not provide a downloadable link. Not cool.

Very happy with purchase!!!!!

Only been using it for 2 weeks and already have reduced hot flashes. Very relaxing too.

I pre-ordered this book under the impression that it came with a CD. There is no CD. You have to download the audio files from the internet, and each track starts with a few minutes of legal disclaimers that will get very old to listen to every day, twice daily! I have been having trouble downloading and getting the tracks onto the devices where I want them. A CD would have been easier for me. Disappointed that the product was not as advertised.
