Site last updated on: 3/15/05

EarlyMenopause.com does NOT endorse any one form of treatment. We're all different, and what works for one of us might not work for another. Nor is the site tied commercially to ANY drug or supplement – unlike other sites which, while claiming no sponsorship, do get money for "click-throughs" on ads or orders generated from the site. This is one reason why, other than listing the brand names for HRT, no brand names are (implicitly or explicitly) recommended.

Along these lines, EarlyMenopause.com does not accept advertising of any sort, nor is funded by any company or by a grant (unrestricted or otherwise) from any corporation, but is privately funded by the site owner.

All information on the site has been excerpted or adapted from The Premature Menopause Book by writer and women's health advocate Kathryn Petras, or has been written specifically for Early Menopause.com by Kathryn Petras.   Any reprinting or reproduction for anything other than personal use  is expressly prohibited without permission.
