Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) March 04, 2013 Starting at age 30, men and women experience declining hormones levels of 1-3% annually, causing a hormonal imbalance (1). Men and women suffering from a hormonal imbalance will feel negative effects, both emotionally and physically. Clearwater non-surgical cosmetic center, Skinspirations, now offers hormone replacement therapy for both men and women for returning the body to optimal physical and mental health. Skinspirations specializes exclusively in rejuvenation, enhancement and anti-aging treatments for the face and body. Hormone replacement therapy is a process in which hormones are restored to the appropriate levels. Unbalanced hormones can lead to health problems, such as fatigue, weight gain and difficulty sleeping. Skinspirations uses bio-identical hormones that have the same molecular structure as those naturally produced by the body. Bio-identical hormones are an effective way to minimize the effects of aging, and are essential to hormone replacement therapy. The top five benefits of hormone replacement therapy are: Increased energy; Increased bone production; Improvement in memory and the ability to focus; Decreased risk of heart disease and bone fractures; and Decreased depression and anxiety. The physical and emotional changes of balanced hormones are immediate. Angela, a 38-year old woman experiencing symptoms of … Continue reading →

Oestrogen skin patches used to control menopausal symptoms in women may provide a safe alternative therapy for prostate cancer, research has shown. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) patches prevent the growth of prostate tumours by drastically lowering levels of testosterone. Prostate cancer that is starting to spread is known to be fuelled by the male hormone. Current treatments include injected drugs called LHRH agonists, such as Zoladex, which interfere with testosterone production, resulting in chemical castration but they can have serious long-term side effects, including the bone thinning disease osteoporosis and diabetes. Oestrogen - the female sex hormone - taken in a pill form also blocks testosterone production, but can lead to dangerous blood clots and strokes. The new findings, from a Phase II trial involving more than 250 men with locally advanced or spreading prostate cancer, show that the patches lower testosterone as effectively as LHRH agonists. Importantly, they do not cause the same blood clotting problems seen with oestrogen tablets. Nor do they have the side effects associated with LHRH agonist injections. Lead researcher Dr Ruth Langley, from the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit in London, said: "These promising new findings suggest that we might be able to … Continue reading →

This year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended against routine prostate cancer screening for men of all ages, noting its small benefits compared to the harms, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. "We think the benefit is very small," Dr. Michael LeFevre, a member of the task force, told NPR's Shots blog. "Our range is between zero and one prostate cancer death avoided for every thousand men screened," which is minuscule compared to lives … Continue reading →

Coming Off Meds After Major Depression (My Nortriptyline Taper Begins) Please SHARE THIS VIDEO if you found it useful or if you know somebody who is suffering and/or feeling alone. Thank you. MY STORY My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a vaccine called VIVITROL and consequently spiraled into a major, agitated, suicidal depression with depersonalization. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who along with many siblings and friends had to watch me 24/7 as I was so suicidal. I was eventually hospitalized. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, Mood stabilizers, anti psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. … Continue reading →

(WXYZ) - Older women have been looking to hormone replacement therapy for decades to feel better and fight the effects of menopause. But the FDA and most doctors will tell you that the therapy comes with risks, like a higher chance of cancer or stroke. But as we showed you in our latest investigation, HRC Medical has been telling patients just the opposite. In Tennessee, where HRC Medical is based, the Attorney General there slapped the company with a civil lawsuit, saying its not telling clients the whole story about serious possible side effects of their treatments: things like heart disease, breast cancer and dementia. Nobodys done a test on the particular cocktail of hormones that they were inserting into people, said Jeff Hill, a senior lawyer for the Tennessee Attorney Generals office. That complaint has nearly crippled the company, so here in Michigan their clinics were recently sold to Legacy Medical, a different company providing the same kinds of therapy. Theyre using some of the same doctors and staff, but 7 Action News wanted to see if theyre making the same statements the FDA says are dangerous. We sent an undercover producer inside its Wixom clinic. Right off the … Continue reading →
