IS BIGGER BETTER IN PR? - By Thomas J. Madden

Around medical circles these days, the famous phrase from the movie Casablanca might go something like “round up all the usual hormones.” But the cold, hard fact of the matter is not all hormones are created equal, nor are they all guilty. The natural ones should not even be considered suspects. But this reasonable and scientific conclusion runs counter to the emotional reaction to a recent study just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showing combined hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women leads straight to increased incidences of breast cancer and deaths. Yet the combined HRT drugs, Premarin and Provera, used in this latest study are a horse of a different color from naturally derived hormones deemed safe and effective by gynecologists such as Dr. Alicia Stanton. The synthetic hormones used in the latest study come not from horse sense, but horse urine. Not all hormones act in the same deleterious way in the body as the combined HRT drugs tested in the JAMP published study, which showed that combined hormone replacement therapy using Premarin and Provera leads to increased incidences of breast cancer and deaths among post menopausal women. This is hardly news to gynecologists, however, many of whom long ago switched to natural hormones, according to the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (www.Worldhealth.net). Natural hormones generally have been shown to be harmless, yet effective in treating post menopausal symptoms, said the Academy, which is concerned that news of this study might create an emotional reaction against all HRT. That would deprive millions of women the benefit of natural hormones. The combined HRT drugs used in this latest study are a horse of a different color from naturally derived hormones used by gynecologists such as Dr. Alicia Stanton. The synthetic hormones used in the latest study come not from horse sense, but horse urine. "Because of the deleterious effects of Premarin and Provera, I stopped prescribing it in 2002 and have been prescribing bioidentical estradiol and progesterone since then and I'm confident my patients do not have an increased risk of breast cancer if the hormones remained balanced." According to Dr. Stanton and many other doctors, your body's own natural hormones, when properly balanced, allow the body to function at its optimal level. They also reduce such symptoms from hormone imbalance as hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, weight gain, low libido and bloating. For the majority of women who have not been on Premarin and Provera, this study holds no meaning, said Dr. Stanton, and might just frighten some women into believing that all hormones should avoided when the natural ones can be significantly helpful. The hormones on which claims are based in the study published in JAMA on increased risks of breast cancer and HRT are inherently carcinogenic and non-human as well as artificial, said breast cancer and HRT expert Dr. Khalid Mahmud.
