"The risk of breast cancer associated with hrt in 54,548 postmenopausal women who had never taken any hrt was studied in the E3N-EPIC (National Education System-European Prospective Investigation into Cancer & Nutrition) study. hrt containing synthetic progestogens was associated with a 40 percent increase in the risk of breast cancer as opposed to no increase in risk with hrt that contained micron-ized progesterone. When it comes to metabolic function, studies suggest that synthetic progestogens may worsen insulin sensitivity." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"The best thing to do is to invent a "Hormone Replacement Therapy" (HRT), get some "scientists" (paid by the pharmaceutical industry of course) stating how effective hrt is and then advertise it like crazy. Hormones and "Hormone Replacement Therapy" (HRT) became popular, despite the horrible side effects that were documented well. Here are the facts." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"I have personally dealt with many women who have developed breast cancer after being on hrt, which resulted in radical mastectomies. hrt is not the wonder cure it is made out to be. Many women have found that their bone density is worse after being on hrt. A huge study observing more than one million women, conducted in the U.K. by Cancer Research U.K., National Health Services, and the Medical Research Council, indicated that chances of breast cancer are increased by 50 percent when on hrt." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"In the case of the work for hrt Aware, any pretence of independence was purely token, because the whole project was paid for by Wyeth and other pharmaceutical companies. For the British project, The RED Consultancy lined up 'desirable media spokespeople', and their Choices Campaign booklet featured side bars with support from science journalist and broadcaster Judith Harm32 and, again, women's health specialist Dr Annie Evans." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Women taking hrt have a significantly higher likelihood of a vast array of other diseases, as well as death, compared with those not taking the medications. hrt use raises the risk of cardiovascular disease by 78%. hrt even raises a woman's chance to develop asthma. One large-scale review of 31 studies on osteoporosis concluded that estrogen (a female sex hormone) didn't have any significant benefit in slowing the onset of osteoporosis. Too bad! But don't think for a second the pharmaceutical industry will give up. There is a market here, a huge market." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"From the beginning of 1998, everything was thrown into reassuring women and doctors that hrt did not really do any harm to anyone. In the 12-month period ending in March 1999, drug companies in North America spent $1.53 billion on media advertisements aimed directly at consumers. Wyeth spent $31 million advertising Premarin on television alone. These figures do not include supportive articles about research papers or feature articles such as the one in the Daily Telegraph discussed below." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.) "Even if 35 Daily Telegraph of May 14 1998: Glowing Tribute to hrt 'magic'. the law is not enforced and there is a tacit understanding that pharmaceutical companies can break it with impunity, any newspaper should make it an absolute requirement that such articles state clearly whether or not celebrities received money for endorsing products, and if so, how much. It would be inappropriate to comment on the attitudes of the women involved unless one knew whether or not they were paid." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is effective at relieving hot flashes following menopause; however, hrt is not recommended for use for longer than five years. Discuss this treatment option with your doctor. CO i— < _j Q_ O o o CO cc THRT: Treating hot flashes involves stabilizing hormones during the menopausal period. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which involves increasing the levels of female hormones in the body, is the most effective way of achieving this, but it is currently a controversial form of treatment." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"With the gathering storm of study results at the end of the Nineties, all the hrt company men and a few women were brought out for public view. One of the essential defensive strategies for industries of all kinds is to quickly inter the body of critical history. It would, however, be a brave company that admitted that it had been making money from poisoning people, and, particularly in the business of harming people with pharmaceuticals, there is no reverse gear." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"HRT containing synthetic progestogens was associated with a 40 percent increase in the risk of breast cancer as opposed to no increase in risk with hrt that contained micron-ized progesterone. When it comes to metabolic function, studies suggest that synthetic progestogens may worsen insulin sensitivity. There is also evidence that women of childbearing age who use contraceptives that contain synthetic progestogens may be at increased risk for gestational diabetes." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"What "small" means is that HRT's use was responsible for 3,500 cardiac disease events, 2,000 breast cancers, 4,000 strokes, and 5,000 cases of pulmonary embolism per annum. For those women who are part of these numbers, they are, of course, life-changing events. Yet, despite the way it might sound, this is indeed a small fraction of the total population of users. However, any risk, no matter the size, is not worth taking if there is no counterbalancing benefit. As it turns out, the purported benefits of hrt never materialized." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "At the turn of millennium, some 55 million postmenopausal women were on hrt.30 Yet there were problems. Several studies done in the late 1990s found that many of the expected benefits never materialized; even worse, HRT raised the risk of the very diseases—breast cancer and heart disease—that it was purported to prevent." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"But if women began their hrt ten years later, they had a greater risk of dementia. Other studies have also shown this. • Experimentally, natural progesterone and natural estrogen protect dopamine pathways (important in Parkinson's). Studies have shown that the risk of Parkinson's disease increases in women with an early onset of menopause. • Brain MRI studies have shown that the longer the duration of hrt, the better the brain tissues looked (less shrinkage of white and gray matter)." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"That announcement was aired shortly after it was announced that hrt had many potential associated problems, so many women stopped their hrt drugs. Although there are natural supplements proven to resolve the hot flashes, taking Paxil?is much more of a serious threat than hrt. Paxil?is a very serious antidepressant never approved for hot flashes, or anything other than depression. Paxil?is the same basic class of antidepressants as Prozac? but an even more potent version. One woman was actually prescribed Paxil?to help her stop biting her fingernails!" - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Because physicians believe that hrt can slightly increase a woman's chances of getting breast cancer, a woman should review her per- sonal medical history with her physician before deciding on hrt. Remember: Heart problems are much more common than breast cancer. New Drug to Thin the Blood I Beware of Combination Treatments for Heart Health Now that word is filtering out that garlic has the power to help thin the blood and prevent heart attacks, some heart patients?not surprisingly—believe that they can simply load up on garlic in addition to other preventive efforts." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) "In addition, the longer the women took hrt, the fewer teeth they lost. Still, hrt is not advised for everyone—ask your doctor about your case. powerful a remedy black cohosh can be. It should be taken in small doses, and although it's a good, natural painkiller, it should not be used during pregnancy. Note: Remifemin, a packaged product containing compounds from the black cohosh plant, is now available in the US. It costs approximately $30 for a one-month supply. It has been sold in Europe for years." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Even so, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, which produces Prempro, the most popular brand of hrt, projected profits of about $1.5 billion for 2004. For us, the story of ERT, and then the almost repeat story of hrt, is frustrating. Numerous clinical studies show that there is little or nothing to be gained from estrogen treatments, and much to be lost. Yet a confluence of interests—pharmaceutical companies pushing drugs for diseases that they invented, professional imperialism, and the cultural stereotyping of aging women—has too much momentum to stop." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"A study of 1,889 women showed that if hrt was started within ten years of menopause and lasted for at least ten years, there was a significant reduction in dementia. But if women began their hrt ten years later, they had a greater risk of dementia. Other studies have also shown this. • Experimentally, natural progesterone and natural estrogen protect dopamine pathways (important in Parkinson's). Studies have shown that the risk of Parkinson's disease increases in women with an early onset of menopause." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

But don't think for a second the pharmaceutical industry will give up. There is a market here, a huge market. And one isn't pretending to be a prophet saying that there will be all kinds of other pills and therapies in the next ten, twenty years." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Many women have found that their bone density is worse after being on hrt. A huge study observing more than one million women, conducted in the U.K. by Cancer Research U.K., National Health Services, and the Medical Research Council, indicated that chances of breast cancer are increased by 50 percent when on hrt. Rather, we should be looking at the whole body, including the entire endocrine system, and following a lifestyle that encourages overall health. The Perfect Health program, starting with the five steps, will do this." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"The hrt is a different story, and natural progesterone and natural estrogens may be needed to replace the hrt. What is the clinical usage of Serrapeptase in children, with dosage precautions and other relevant clinical information? It can be safely used with children. I recommend 1 -3 tablets per day for children. If they cannot swallow the tablets, they can chew the tablet, as it does not have any taste. (Also, capsules that can be broken open and mixed with honey.) In fact, a sore throat can be cleared in about 30 minutes by chewing 1-2 tablets." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Researchers from the long-running Nurses' Health Study analyzed breast cancer risk for women who drink, use hrt, or do both. They discovered that the women with the lowest breast cancer odds were the ones who avoided hrt and either didn't drink or averaged slightly less than one alcoholic drink per day. Next, the scientists checked how other women's breast cancer risk stacked up compared to this low-risk group. Here is what their results could mean for you." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"The risk of uterine cancer was reduced to near zero, but nobody evaluated the overall effect of adding progestin to routine hrt. The Million Women Study confirmed that the taking of estrogen without progestin caused 10 extra uterine cancers and 5 extra breast cancers, a total of 15 extra cancers per 1000 women over 10 years. Adding progestin did, in fact, eliminate the risk of uterine cancer but caused an extra 19 breast cancers per 1000 women over 10 years." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Perhaps the strongest evidence supporting routine hrt was presented in a 1997 article published in NEJM showing that "mortality among women who use postmenopausal hormones is lower than among nonusers," again overriding continuing concerns about the link to breast cancer. HOW DID SO MANY PEOPLE GET IT SO WRONG? It helps to take a step back and look at the methods used in medical research. The two most common types of medical studies are randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The primary goal of understanding hrt research in peri- and postmenopausal women is to come to some determination as to the risks and benefits of estrogen therapy (ET) and estrogen-progestogen therapy (EPT) for symptom relief and disease prevention and treatment. For a more comprehensive discussion on osteoporosis and heart disease, and on the benefits and risks of ET and EPT, I refer you to Chapters 14 and 9. The NAMS panel offered two main categories of recommendations: those where the panel was able to reach consensus and those where they were not." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"If she wishes to keep to a low dose for the future, it is highly recommended. The hrt is a different story, and natural progesterone and natural estrogens may be needed to replace the hrt.
