Bio-Identical Hormone Wellness Author and Physician Michael E. Platt speaks in
Indian Wells, CA November 29, 2006

Los Angeles, CA - Dr. Michael E. Platt, board certified internist and author of The
Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones, is speaking at a seminar Wednesday, November 29,
2006 at the Miramonte Resort Hotel in Indian Wells, CA, 7-9:00 p.m., to introduce
new associate Dr. John D. Carr of North Carolina, and to discuss the controversy
surrounding Suzanne Somers' new book Ageless which talks about her use of
bio-identical hormones.

Platt, founder of the Platt Medical Center in Palm Desert, CA, is nationally known
for his controversial wellness and preventive approach to medicine through the use
of natural bio-identical hormones for ADD/ADHD, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis,
PMS/menopause, sexual health, and weight loss. Platt, who has been in practice 33
years, says "Suzanne Somers has single-handedly aroused world-wide interest in
bio-identical hormone therapy, and has made men and women aware they have to be
proactive about their health - this is good. I salute her for her courage.
However, the specific recommendations she champions with regard to hormone
replacement is not only ill-advised, it may actually be dangerous..When advising
women to take high dosages of a potentially toxic hormone (estrogen) it is important
to give them the entire picture."

New Platt Medical Center associate Dr. John D. Carr, who was born and raised in
Rhode Island, attended the University of Miami, Florida, as both an undergraduate
and medical student. As a medical student, he trained at a big county hospital,
Jackson Memorial, where he worked in the trauma center. As a resident at
Cornell/Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, he rotated between three
facilities - Cornell/Sloan-Kettering Cancer (a specialty hospital), Northshore
Hospital in Long Island (private), and New York Hospital in Manhattan (public). He
later became Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Cleveland Clinic
Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and subsequently established a private internal
medicine practice in Charlotte, N.C. "Discovering John Carr is the result of a
four year search for a physician compatible with my approach to wellness. His love
of medicine is very apparent, along with his ability to identify the causation of
illness," comments Platt."
