| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's an honor to join this distinguished panel to discuss the exaggerated fear of breast cancer when using hormones. We discuss the Women's Health Initiative, a huge prospective study, which didn't even contain actual human hormones. The heavily marketed Premarin® and Prempro®, hormones from horse urine an and a synthetic progestin were the drugs used. The Women's Health Initiative, in a more rational approach would have topped off with real human hormones. Conventional medical training and practices now choose to ignore the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause as a consequence. | | | | | | Testing for hormones to define how to use them, or how to confirm successful interventions, fails because ultimately we need to know what happens at the hormone receptor. Whether we test the serum or saliva or urine, the real action of hormones occurs at the receptors. All hormones are alike Conventional practitioners are insisting that … Read more | | | | | | | | | | Our current medical system has been designed to take our hands and give us direction when disease has become evident, but it has left us sadly wanting when it comes to prevention. Finding and accessing the information necessary to prevent disease is difficult and time consuming. And, even if we do find it, interpreting it and understanding it may take some help. Thankfully, a comprehensive compilation of what we currently know about keeping our breasts free from disease, including breast cancer, is available as an engaging book and multimedia presentation offered by Ingrid Edstrom, FNP, M.Ed., CTT. Her new book and eBook, Protect Your Breasts and The Proactive Breast Wellness Program is her magnus opus and a labor of love. —Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP | | | | | | | | | | I provided a written interview for this Substack “Lies are Unbekoming”. Responding to the questions provided by the Substack author is an opportunity to flesh out the history and background of hormone use. As I write, it is the first time in human history that we can top off our specific hormones with the exact molecule. This molecular specificity results in the exact function we can expect from each type of hormone. https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/hormones | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
