'When synthetic chemicals were first introduced ihn the 1940's, doctors turned to synthetic hormones to help women control hormone-related symptoms. Everyone was assured that synthetic hormones were wonderful. They seemed to be the answer to the ravages of aging, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Recently, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study showed conclusively that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) doesn't do what the experts believed. In fact, the study showed that HRT actually increases the risk of heart disease and various cancers. While the study showed it does reduce bone fractures by 33% and colon cancer by 37%, HRT actually increases the incidence of breast cancer by 26%, heart attack by 29%, cardiovascular disease by 22%, stroke by 41% and blood clots by 100%.
Clearly the answer to help your body deal with hormone-related symptoms during each phase of your life is, as always, the answer is found in nature not the synthetic chemistry.'
