Hormone Replacement Therapy?
byhisello99 asked:
Does anyone have any reliable data on the increased lifetime risk of breast cancer in women over 50 who resume hormone replacement therapy? “It causes breast cancer” is not, of course, accurate; it does increase lifetime risk by a quantifiable amount in those who are genetically inclined to develop breast cancer.
Would specifically like data on increased lifetime risk for women over 50 who conduct weekl;y self-exams and get mammograms done yearly. The next step is 15 year survival rates for those in that category who DO develop breast cancer. My suspicion is that the added lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer within 15 years of developing it, if it ever develops, for those who pursue early detection and resume HRT, will turn out to be something in the range of zero point one percent.

Would low estrogen cause this in a woman?
Dragon Queen asked:
You’re a woman. You don’t feel like doing anything but sit around, even sitting around you get tired of. You are on hormone therapy(you have normal testosterone and petuitary gland) because your body can’t produce estrogen(very low dose of it). Can low estrogen be the cause of laziness?

Women only.does anyone know of a homeopathic remedy to ease the frequency and intensity of hot flashes?
Eat Fish asked:
I am not a good candidate for surgery or hormone replacement therapy due to my family history of ovarian cancer. I have tried all the standard herbal cures, Dong Quai, Black Cohosh, Wild Yam, etc. Yesterday I did a little research online and tried Motherwort and Basil oil as aromatherapy. I was awake all night and had a hot flash that lasted nearly two hours. This is starting to drive me a little crazy. Any suggestions? How about an online support group?

What did women do for menopausal symptoms (i.e. hot flashes, etc.) prior to hormonal replacement therapy?
gaby25 asked:
I am curious about what women may have done (prior to say thirty to forty years ago) because I have such incredible relief from extreme perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms (namely extreme hot flashes and mood changes) with the use of plant based hormones estrogen and progesterone.

THERACYL IS DANGEROUS it is just hormone replacement therapy; why don’t lawyers sue THERACYL like HRT co.’s?
BS,MS,Ph.D asked:
FDA PLEASE STOP ALLOWING THESE DANGEROUS HOMEOPATHIC PRODUCTS! Theracyl is just estradiol, progesterone and testosterone sprays without ANY dosing meter. If you buy prescriptions, like Estring, it’s TIGHTLY dosed because WHY? The Women’s Health Initiative showed that hormone replacement therapy was dangerous, caused higher rates of heart disease, dimentia, and cancers, and should only be reserved at small doses for short times for women who absolutely needed it.
All those lawyers suing because women got cancer from hormone replacement therapy—heads up!!! You should be suing this company too!!!
Why does the FDA allow this ancient quackery to be allowed in the midst of modern science and medicine??

Does anyone else believe that most of us are on hormone therapy? Let me explain?
freetronics asked:
Have you noticed that in every generation, the children are getting bigger and developing earlier than the previous generation? I see high school girls that have bodies like barbie dolls and the boys look like pro wrestlers. I don’t remember seeing girls like that when I was in high school.
My opinion is that it comes from milk, beef, and chicken. The hormones and steroids they feed the cows and chickens to produce more milk and grow faster is entering our bodies directly as we eat them. I saw a show on Discovery Ch. that says a chicken can be fully grown in 30 to 45 days. Incredible! Girls are hitting puberty 3 years earlier than just 50 years ago. Average height in 1960 was 5′8″ (men) and 5′3″ (women), now it’s 5′9 1/2″ and 5′4″, respectively. And average male weight went from 166 lbs to 191 lbs. A 25 lb. increase! Some blame the fast food industry, but I think it’s the hormones.
What do you think?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing for the human race? I don’t see it affecting adults so much, except for increased body weight and possibly the health problems that go along with that. But I can see it clearly in our children. I there anything we can do to stop it? Do we even want to?

Does anyone know anything about Pez Tropin, or growth hormone therapy?
Carhop3000 asked:
I have a six year old daughter who has been diagnosed with Septoptic Dysplasia. She hasn’t grown in years, she is the size of a two year old. (I am a little woman, and she was 4 wks. premature, but in the last year or two it had become obvious that something else was wrong–surely she shouldn’t be THAT small.) The doctors have started her on pez tropin, a shot she takes every day. I have tried to get info on this online, with NO luck. Please help if you can–I’d like to know, is the shot amino acids, a protein, or what? I would appreciate any accurate information very much. Maybe I could try the library next. In the meantime, does anyone have an answer??? I am in a different state from my daughter right now, and can’t speak to the doctor myself to find out. She’s having surgery this summer. We are praying everything is healthy, and that this missing hormone or whatever it is will help her grow. Her petuitary gland does not produce it. Any facts would be GREATLY appreciated!
