DALLAS, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For eight decades subcutaneous hormone pellet therapy has been utilized in patients. Currently hormone pellet therapy is used to treat peri-menopause, menopause, and andropause patients in five continents. The safety and efficacy of both estrogen and testosterone pellet therapy has been documented throughout the world's peer reviewed journals. In 2002, the initial data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) revealed an increased risk of breast cancer, venous thrombosis (VTE), heart attack and stroke from the use of PremPro, a synthetic estrogen and progestin. Although the flaws from this study have been published many times, it continues to be held as the "gold standard" for hormone replacement therapy. It seems as the investigators from this study continue to want to scare the patients and their physicians into using hormone replacement sparingly and only for short durations. All the WHI study has done is reduce the quality of life for millions of women.

How do I know if I need BHRT? Any adult experiencing fatigue, difficulty sleeping, decrease in libido, decreased mental clarity and weight gain, especially around the abdominal area, is an ideal candidate for hormone replacement therapy. Conventional medicine has led us to believe that aging is a natural process that cannot be altered. This is simply not true. Extensive research studies reveal that much can be done to slow the progression and sometimes prevent the diseases associated with aging through the safe, effective use of bio-identical hormone therapy in conjunction with proper nutrition and an active lifestyle.From:t1instituteViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:45More inPeople Blogs View original post here: How do I know if I need BHRT? - Video … Continue reading →

Hormone therapy may cut Alzheimers risk in menopausal women (Reuters) / 25 October 2012 CHICAGO - The latest data from a long-running study of hormone therapy suggests women who started taking hormone replacements within five years of menopause were 30 percent less likely to develop Alzheimers disease than women who started years later. The findings, reported in the journal Neurology, add to evidence suggesting that taking hormone treatments around the time of menopause may be doing more than just helping women cope with hot flashes and night sweats. Our results suggest that there may be a critical window near menopause where hormone therapy may possibly be beneficial, Peter Zandi of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, one of the study leaders, said in a statement. The findings come as menopausal women and their doctors continue to parse out the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Most researchers agree that hormone replacements do not protect women from diseases of aging, and taking these drugs for long periods of time are associated with significant risks, including breast cancer, heart disease and gall bladder disease. Earlier this week, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reaffirmed its 2005 guidelines recommending against the treatment as … Continue reading →

Women who begin taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) within five years of the menopause may reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a study suggests. Scientists monitored 1,768 women aged 65 and over for 11 years, taking note of their history of HRT use. During the study, 176 women developed Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that women who started HRT within five years of the menopause had a 30% lower risk of Alzheimer's than those who had not used hormone therapy. The risk was unchanged among HRT users who began the treatment more than five years after the menopause. A higher risk of dementia was seen in women who started combined oestrogen and progestin therapy when they were at least 65 years old. "This has been an area of debate because observational studies have shown a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease with hormone therapy use, while a randomised controlled trial showed an increased risk," said study leader Dr Peter Zandi, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US. "Our results suggest that there may be a critical window near menopause where hormone therapy may possibly be beneficial. On the other hand, if started later in life, hormone therapy could be associated … Continue reading →
