A CONTROVERSIAL American doctor, described as "like a God" in some medical circles will visit Bolton in a major coup for the town.

The pioneering medic, Dr John Lee, will make a rare appearance in the UK, shunning London to top the bill at Bolton's Victoria Hall in June.

Dynamic

Hundreds of women are expected to turn up to hear the dynamic speaker who controversially believes women should not be given HRT to treat symptoms of the menopause.

Dr Lee has built up a legendary reputation in America over the last 20 years.

He will challenge how European doctors treat millions of women, and men, and will reveal to his Bolton audience "what the doctors fail to tell women about HRT".

The internationally renowned expert will speak of his beliefs of natural hormone replacement for women to treat those are unable to fall pregnant, suffering from the menopause and osteoporosis.

His visit to Bolton is only one of three in the country. Event organiser, Alex Cavendish, said: "This man is regarded as a saviour by hundreds of thousands of women who have been helped by his treatments. He's like a God to thousands of them.

"He is author of the best selling books "What Your Doctor May Not tell You About The Menopause" and "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-menopause". We are very proud to have him in Bolton."

The event takes place at the Victoria Hall, Bolton, on June 19, 7.30pm. Tickets are from 07000 835994. Doing what comes naturally . . . FORMER Bolton Midwife Janet Turner is a convert to the natural remedies promoted by the controversial Dr John Lee.

And she claims more women should know about his work.

The 51-year-old from Heaton says her life was changed when she started to use the natural hormone treatment which has swept through America.

She has been importing the menopause 'cure' from Ireland for the last few years.

Janet explained: "I suffered from hot and cold sweats, mood swings and highs and lows like hundreds of thousands of women going through the menopause. I didn't want to use HRT because like many women I was afraid of the side effects.

"This treatment has been available in America for the last 20 years. It's completely changed my lifestyle -- and it has worked.

"I'm really excited that Dr Lee is coming to Bolton. More people should know about this. Then they can make an informed choice, like I did."
