**Those HRT tests were a joke, a stinkin' lousy travesty. They used conjugated horse piss estrogens and synthetic progesterones and OF COURSE the results were scary. The bioidentical hormone camp has been saying for years that these conjugated and synthetic hormones are poison. Pregnant horse urine contains very potent estrogens that are foreign to women's bodies and get concentrated into the bad kind that contribute to breast and uterine cancers. And then the dumb sh*t examiners make a blanket scare statement based on the results of this pharmaceutical crap and never mention that there are alternatives, namely bioidentical hormones and tests to measure exactly how much are needed. I'd like to give the dumb sh*ts the benefit of the doubt that they're not aware there are alternatives. But no matter, it's tragic that women are now afraid to get hormonal support during the hell that menopause can be. Ooooh, don't get me started.
>>Except I don't think they know all that much about hormones as demonstrated by the panic with HRT. After all women weren't supposed to live past menopause. Now maybe a whole new subspecialty will form just for older women and their unique problems. But, I won't hold my breath! Fondly, Phillipa
