Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy could help:the hot flashes, weight gain, depression, fatigue, and inability to focus, just to name a few.

As I set here contemplating this article I see a real problem that maybe over-looked by the male population. We as men sometimes fail to have the empathy needed to really understand what’s going on in the women of our times.

For example: the hot flashes, weight gain, depression, fatigue, and inability to focus, just to name a few. This is the cry of the modern American woman. This brings us to our topic.

Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT for short.

Now don’t take me wrong in this article because I’m a man. I can’t begin to understand the changes a woman’s body goes through, but this does not mean that they can not be serious to say the least. All I know is what I read and the studies that are done.

Women are looking for answers and not just to be told there’s no hope.

To make matters worse, we see the medical field with a knife in one hand, and a prescription pad in the other, ready to either cut it out, or cover up the symptoms. Then there is the life time of medication after they cut it out, or the side effects of the prescription drugs that can causes:

• Elevated risk of heart trouble

• Breast cancer

• Stroke by blood clot

just to name a few. These studies were done by, Women’s Health Initiative (WHI).

Women want the facts about Hormone Replacement Therapy and have the right to weigh the pros and cons of any method prescribed to “SOLVE” the problem.

When looking at the Japanese women compared to the American women, we see that the Japanese women sail through menopause with very little or no problems.

So what’s the difference here?

*Soy Isoflavones.

Soy Iflavones (Genistein), is found in soy products. The Japanese women consume app. 30 - 50 grams of isoflavones a day while American women consume only 1 - 3 grams a day.

Japanese women excretion of isoflavones is 100-1,000 times higher than the American women.

Now you can easily make room in your diet for soy products such as:

*soy nuts

*soy isoflavones

Soy isoflavone acts as a mild more desirable estrogen in the body. In this way we by-step the side effects of a drug.

Another thing that is of utmost importance is the Progesterone trap.

It has been said that some physicians call the synthetic drug progestin, progesterone.

This may be a little drastically put but its like saying arsenic poison is called baking flour.

"Provera - Cycrin", (prescribed for progesterone replacement) is NOT progesterone, it is (PROGESTRIN) a synthetic drug with side effects such as according to the (physicians desk reference):

• Acne

• anaphylaxis(life threatening allergic reaction

• blood clot in vein, lung, or brain

• break through bleeding (between menstrual periods)

• breast tenderness

• depression

• hair loss

• headache

• excess hair growth

• sleepiness

• weight gain

There is more side effects from progestin but I think you get the ideal.

But there is hope, for there is a natural progesterone replacement which your body treats as its own.
