Hormone Vindication Causing Hormone Conflicts (Hormone Therapies vs. Emergent Medications)
With the 10 Million Study, put on by our own NIH and National Library of Medicine, we learned that women on hormone replacement therapy:
Live 19% longer,
Have statistically less of many cancers including breast (if synthetic progestins are not added to the mix),
And even older women over 65 on hormone therapies have less AFIB, less Congestive Heart Failure and less adverse events like strokes and heart attacks even while suffering with these very diagnoses, IF they are on estrogen (“balanced” with natural progesterone).
We learned from the University of Arizona insurance study that women on hormones have:
Less cognitive decline
Less Alzheimer’s disease.
Less neurodegenerative diseases across the board.
That “natural” or “bioidentidal” hormones work better than synthetic,
But any hormone is better than no hormone (except synthetic progestins).
We learned all estrogens protected the brain but that natural estrogen worked better than from pregnant horses’ urine.
We have had over 15 reanalysis of the ill fated WRONG first Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) that showed that:
Estrogen protects breast tissue in healthy women against getting breast cancer.
And if you are or were on estrogen replacement for an average of at least 5 years, and you did get breast cancer, it’s most often a “better player” (less aggressive) and you most likely die less from it (statistically reduced fatality incidence).
All this is causing a revolution in hormone awareness.
A vindication of estrogen.
But since in America we are so “reactive” to so much, from politics to health to education to guns, as soon as that ill fated and WRONG first WHI came out, the lawyers descended.
Litigation blew up.
Docs got scared.
Med schools, osteopathic schools, OBGYN residencies, and even naturopathic schools STOPPED teaching hormonal medicine.
Congress is looking at taking our tax dollars to hire teachers to start teaching hormones in these schools (I find this WRONG and shocking too, they can’t do this on their own?).
So we have two trails happening now that estrogen (when balanced) has been found to be so protective on so many levels.
