Menopause.org attempts to provide qualified to provide information that is both accurate and unbiased, not for or against any point of view. They do not accept advertizing, but they do rely on grants from government agencies and pharmaceutical companies. There is bias caused by the very nature of this relationship. The web and newspapers often report conflicts of interest between organizations such as this and the groups that fund them. Keep this in mind when reading the information on this site.
Very little information on alternative therapies for menopausal women is presented on the menopause org site. The reasons are two fold: Alternative therapy companies do not have the funds to sponsor research at menopause org, and the North American Menopause Society has not been open to herbal medications and bioidentical hormones. There isn't ant funding for those sorts of therapies.
