In 1996 Maggie Tuttle managed to come off HRT. Coping with adverse
reactions, she placed an ad in a newspaper asking if anyone else was having
a similar experience. Six years later when Maggie folded the Menopausal
Helpline, she had received over 10,000 letters. Licensed to Kill and Maim,
gives a voice to the women who wrote to her, while investigating the history
and marketing of HRT. The book asks questions about a health care system in
which pharmaceutical companies first create illnesses, then create drugs to
'cure' them.

I have never been a fan of HRT for various reasons. Reading through Martin
Walker's well researched, clearly documented and quite terrifying book has
confirmed to me that HRT is one of the great mistakes of the 20th and 21st
centuries and should be consigned to the history books as soon as possible!
Jenny Seagrove actress and campaigner

A Japanese proverb says "The truth is always disturbing." Martin Walker is
one of those rare individuals who is willing to dig deeply into the
illusion, insult and inhumanity that is done under the name of science and
medicine. Motives usually have more to do with money, power and control than
the relief of suffering. His books are always shocking but far closer to the
truth than you are likely to find elsewhere. Patrick Holford, founder of the
Institute for Optimum Nutrition.

_____________

Maggie Tuttle is a life time campaigner, speaking out for women in
difficulties. For ten years she has helped women suffering adverse reactions
to HRT, standing up to pharmaceutical companies, company loyal doctors and
sometimes an indifferent media. Her tireless support for women affected by
HRT has been at considerable cost to her self, both financially and
emotionally.

Martin Walker is a campaigner and writer. HRT, Licensed to Kill and Maim is
his ninth book. His other books include, with Geoff Coggan, Frightened for
My Life: An account of deaths in British Prisons (1982), With Extreme
Prejudice: An Investigation in Police Vigilantism in Manchester (1986) and
Dirty Medicine: Science, Big Business and the assault on Natural Health Care
(1993).
