Let Me Show You How to Replace Your Hormones

Let me show you how to replace your hormones and I will tell you why. Here is an analogy to help you understand the difference it will be to you if you are shown correctly how to use hormones. When I was growing up my dad would make these amazing awesome paper airplanes for me. I would throw them and they would fly swiftly through the air until they hit the wall or the couch or whatever. He could make them fly and twirl by changing how he folded the paper. I wanted to make my paper airplanes fly just like his so I would try to copy how he made the airplanes but of course until he showed me how to fold the paper precisely my airplane was never as good as his at flying and barely traveled at all before it just fell to the ground.

Hormone replacement is similar to the paper airplane story. There is a method and a way of applying the dosage to mimic physiological levels normal to cycling females. This is important because it determines the effectiveness and response your body and mind will obtain. Until you are shown the way, you might as well be crumpling up a piece of paper and throwing it to see if it flies, over and over again, but wondering why you don't feel better and aren't getting improvement in your sleep, energy, brain fog, libido, vaginal dryness, dry skin, hair growth, weight gain around the mid section despite every known diet under the sun!

BREAST CANCER AND HORMONES; IS IT SAFE

In my experience, women associate breast cancer and hormones together. I understand one of the greatest concerns some women have is developing breast cancer during their life time. Breast cancer mortality is on the decline according to some studies and breast cancer awareness is everywhere with increasing utilization of mammograms and "the pink ribbon" with its own breast cancer awareness week every October.

The risk factors implicated in the development of breast cancer include:

Age

Family History, affected mother or sister 2 to 3 relative risk, aunt or grandmother 1.5 relative risk, and affected mother AND sister 14.0 relative risk

Excessive alcohol intake - women who drink two to five drinks a day run a 41% greater risk of developing breast cancer than non drinkers

Obesity - post menopausal women who gain 11 to 22 pounds have an 18% higher risk of breast cancer than women who gain 4-5 lbs and in those who gain 44 to 55 pounds the risk jumps to 40%.

The breast cancer controversy began after the report of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) sponsored by National Institutes of Health (NIH) raised concerns regarding the roles of hormones and breast cancer. This caused widespread discontinuation of the hormones and deprived women of the benefit of hormones. The study was discontinued in 1992, 3 years prematurely. Was planned for 8.5 years, still too short of an interval as it takes more than 8 years for the discovery of breast cancer from a single cell based on doubling times. Based on this, all of the 290 cases of breast cancer had malignant cells at the onset of the study (there were a total of 161,208 participants).

The trial of the estrogen/progestin was stopped due to minimal increase of hazard ratio of 1.26, which was only of borderline significance. The study of estrogen alone has not shown an increase in the risk of breast cancer at 7 years. There is confirming evidence from more than seventy studies that exogenous therapy, and even unopposed estrogens, do not increase the risk for breast cancer. There have been eleven studies, with none to the contrary, that have examined survival from breast cancer developing in estrogen users and have observed lower mortality. Long term progesterone deficiency has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. In one study in patients with stage IV metastatic breast cancer, estrogen with high dose progesterone was shown to be very effective. After giving the estrogen for seven days to enhance the progesterone receptors in metastatic cancer cells high dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (not my first choice) was given and the remission rate was 56% for up to six years.

The most consistently decreased risk of breast cancer in estrogen users has been those who also received progestogens (and it would be nice to see some studies using natural progesterone vs synthetic progestogens).

Breast cancer is being diagnosed in early stages, and the survival rates have increased due to early diagnosis and treatment. Women lead normal lives for many years. We need to be given the opportunity to benefit from all available treatment. Estrogen replacement can be used for severe symptoms in breast cancer survivors after thorough explanation, and understanding, of benefits and risks.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT STILL CONTROVERSIAL

Hormone replacement is still controversial. In the 1960's women were ecstatic to finally have a remedy to the hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, low libido issues and doctors were more than willing and able to write the prescription to alleviate their symptoms. However, after the publications of the Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS) and the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies, doubts were raised about the increased risk of hormone therapy. Physicians became reluctant to prescribe hormone replacement because of the widely publicized reports that estrogens cause endometrial cancer, that combination therapy (via Prempro) increased breast cancer and stroke risks. Even so, estrogen therapy continues to be popular among many patients.

First, we now know that oral metabolism of estradiol is DIFFERENT from transdermal estradiol. We also now know that there IS a difference between PROGESTINS and NATURAL PROGESTERONE.

Second, we also know that long term estrogen deficiency can and often does lead to osteoporosis and related fracture complications, atherosclerotic heart disease, psychogenic manifestations (depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability), alzheimer's disease, increase risk for colon cancer and who knows we may discover even more disease and health related disorders associated with hormone deficiency over the next 100 years.

Third, we now know that the belief that estrogen treatment causes endometrial cancer is no longer valid and that the incidence of cancer (of the endometrium, or of the breast) need not increase as a result of long term estrogen therapy if cyclic progesterone in adequate dosages are added to the estrogen replacement therapy.
