Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Sue, I would suggest to contact Ian Coughlin (MNIMH) - he is an expert on such cases. --- Tami Bronstein wrote: --------------------------------- I'd like to add to Sue's enquiry... There is a trend of " anti-aging " medicine here in the States, commonly prescribing teststerone as " hormone therapy " for men, as well as the use of growth hormone for " anti aging " and vitality 'enhancement' being prescribed by doctors. I would also be interested in how herbal medicine can be safely integrated into an individual's program if they are already on such hormone therapies. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Just a slight aside, the use of hormones is a regular part in some sports, particularly where body mass is involved such as powerlifting and body building. Whilst it is some and not all that use GH, testosterone and female hormones (to balance the effect of the testosterone), the (market) can be (is) a significant one!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Understandable... do you know of any herbal considerations with regard to herb-drug interactions and these hormonal therapies?
