Menopause has become an obsolete event in the lives of women according to medical practioners and pharmaceuticals. It has been reduced to the moment when the last period ends. The Perimenopause and postmenopause now are viewed as the new "diseases," needing medical intervention and new marketing strategies for drugs. Has research for menopause stopped, and or shifted? And what is happening now that we have entered a new century? Have any of the hormonal trials that were started in the 90's shown any definitive results? What are alternatives to hormone treatment? These questions and more will be discussed.
