Did anyone see Suzanne Somers this weekend?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Gang:

Did anyone attend either of the two Suzanne Somers lectures this

weekend here in Houston? I went to the one yesterday in The

Woodlands--this huge ballroom was PACKED TO THE RAFTERS. Lucky me I

got there early enough to sit close to the front. (Met some very

nice ladies, including a lady whose thyroid was removed and is on

$ynthroid.) She gave a great lecture, no notes, and even brought out

her 70-yo husband Alan Hamel to demonstrate to the few men in the

audience that it's for anyone.

Her speech was excellent, funny, interesting, and wasn't the " you

poor little people " kind of thing that a celebrity could do. She

said that she felt it was better to do a grassroots kind of thing to

go directly to people. Television is so all abou Big Pharma.

Recently on Larry King she went up against a physician who declared

that synthetics and BioID were exactly the same. She said, " no,

they're not. " Then she asked him if he were paid by Wyeth, and he

said, " no. " But of course, he was, and he's the president of

the " North American Menopause Association, " a Wyeth thing. She'd

googled him the night before and discovered that he really IS a

minion of Wyeth.

Suzanne was honest, explained herself, and when discussed the Seven

Dwarves of Menopause, made a comment about a national celebrity who I

won't name who needs them, and is definitely " All Dried Up. " The

audience broke up. . .because this woman definitely looks " All Dried

Up. "

And she's a skinny little thing! I remember why I wanted to pursue

getting better. I am SO not going to a nursing home. . .

There are two Menopause Clinics in Houston, one in The Woodlands and

one in Sugarland. Evaluations are $39, and of course hormones are

more. I don't know much past that, but I'll find out and report

here. They offered the opportunity to book an appointmment, so I did-

-for Saturday, August 4th, at 11:00 am. No kidding--I chose a later

appointment because a) the table for soon appointments was too

crowded, and I'll see how my current physician works out, and if I

need to just get Armour and Cortef from him, perhaps this clinic will

help. And darnit, I don't know if they do thyroid, but I'll find

out.

The website, if anyone is interested, is www.replacehrt.com.

And no, I don't work for them. . .just passing along info in case

anyone is interested. I'd rather hear, " no thanks, " than, " why

didn't you TELL ME???!!! "

I had too much excitement this weekend, I couldn't sleep last night.
