RE: heart disease/Neil

[Guest guest]

I don't know what or who the hormones and longevity center is... but

whatever they are selling is in direct opposition to the WHI, HERS,ERA

studies. These are HUGE mega women studies over fairly long periods of time

and the consensus on these are 1)Estrogens can and do cause breast cancers

(and other cancers as well). Your site confirms this, so this disputes your

claim that estrogen is cancer protective. 2.) When used in conjunction

with progesterone/progestins - the risk increases - not decreases. See

http://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/hormonal/what_is_it/hormone_role.jsp

and http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/411401

Given that even the experts cannot seem to get a handle on this - but do

seem to agree that progesterones/progestins may cause even higher incidences

of breast cancer - we need, as I wrote earlier, to be very aware of our

bodies and the choices we make.

Small studies are starting to pop up now - so hopefully the medical world

will be galvinized into studying the " natural vs synthetic " theory - but

logic and common sense say a hormone is a hormone and we would do well to

think long and hard about our quality of life choices.

Breast Cancer and BHRT

Bioidentical hormones are again shown be superior to synthetic hormones, and

this is continuing proof that bioidentical hormones are not associated with

breast cancer while synthetic versions significantly increase the risk of

breast cancer.

Unequal risks for breast cancer associated with different hormone

replacement therapies: results from the E3N cohort study. Fournier A,

Berrino F, Clavel-Chapelon F. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 2007

One of the largest studies to date comparing the risk of breast cancer with

the use of natural bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormone replacement

therapy demonstrates that the natural hormones have significantly less

associated risk of breast cancer. This study published a 2007 issue of

Breast Cancer Research reported the association between various forms of HRT

and the incidence of breast cancer in over 80,000 postmenopausal women who

were followed for over 8 postmenopausal years. This study found that,

compared to women who never used any hormone replacement therapy, women who

used estrogen only (different preparations analyzed together) had an

increased risk of breast cancer that was 1.29 times those who never used

estrogen. If a synthetic progestin was used in combination with estrogen,

there was a significant increase in the risk of breast cancer compared to

those on the estrogen only that was 1.69 times the risk of those who never

used estrogen.

If, however, a woman used natural progesterone in combination with estrogen,

the increased risk of breast cancer was eliminated, having no increase risk

o f breast cancer as compared to those who never used estrogen. In addition,

estriol containing products was found to have a further protective effect

against breast cancer, resulting in a lower risk of breast cancer than even

those who did not use any hormone replacement.

This study adds to the mass of previous medical literature that demonstrates

the superior safety of bioidentical hormone replacement as compared to

synthetic hormones.

this is conventional medical spin. better info might be gotten from

http://www.womensinternational.com if allopathic docs understood how to use

hormones, think of the impact on big pharma!!!!
