“This year's IPPY contest attracted 3,175 total entries. Books came from 49 U.S. states (come on, North Dakota!), D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands; 9 Canadian provinces (get with it, Northwest Territories!), and 16 countries around the world: Trinidad to Thailand, Croatia to Czech Republic, and France to Finland,” adds Barnes.

Wellness colleagues, book reviewers, and patients in the U.S. and abroad laud Dr. Platt’s The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones for its “reader-friendly exploration” of how natural (non-synthetic) bio-identical hormones can have the power to heal many maladies often considered “incurable.” “This is the most important health book published this year, or any year for that matter. It’s an easy, fascinating, highly-informative, even life-changing read,” states Barbara Morris, compounding pharmacist and author of Put Old On Hold. The book is also considered an excellent primer for compounding pharmacists and others in the wellness community who work with bio-identical hormones.

Dr. Platt’s book, now selling on Internet bookseller websites (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, drplatt.com, and others), and in U.S. bookstores, is distributed by Midpoint Trade Books of New York, New York.

Dr. Platt, founder of the Platt Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, CA, is internationally known for his innovative, preventive approach to medicine. His protocol allows his patients to successfully relinquish most, if not all, of their medications.
