Ask Emily — hormone replacement therapy

QUESTION:

I’m afraid of hormone replacement therapy. What are my options?

ANSWER:

You’ll be happy to know that there are good alternatives to synthetic HRT drugs like Premarin and Prempro (which have been linked to increased risk of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, blood clots, and Alzheimer’s or dementia). Most women don’t even require hormone therapy. As one writer put it, saying hot flashes are the result of an estrogen deficiency is like saying a headache is the result of an aspirin deficiency. We recommend all women follow a natural program that supports hormonal balance, such as our Personal Program. For those who still need hormonal supplementation, we find they generally get better results from bio-identical hormones, for which the safety data — though limited — are far more promising.

Because of her sensitivity she had reservations about taking our Essential Nutrients and Herbal Equilibrium, too. But when she read the product information and found they were all-natural and highly bioavailable, she figured she'd give the Program a try.
