Bioidentical Hormones Are The Answer
Billions are spent on synthetic hormones in the U.S. annually. Big Pharma can’t patent a bioidentical hormone, so they manipulate the molecules to produce synthetic hormones that are patentable (Premarin, Prempro and Provera for example). As such, they do not sell bioidentical hormones.
Because they compete with bioidentical hormones in the market place, they are decidedly against their use and will use their media machine (paid for in ad revenue) to discredit anything they don't make.
That's not wrong. This is a capitalistic economy. This economy is the engine that makes true medical breakthroughs. They should make as much as they can. The line is crossed when their concoctions do more harm than good while the bioidentical hormones they compete with helping, without the nagative side effects.
Bioidentical hormones have been around for decades, but medical professionals still know little about them.
Bioidentical hormones include:
- estrogen
- testosterone
- DHEA
- cordicol steroids
- adrenalin, and more.
Are bioidentical hormones better than synthetic hormones?
Millions of satisfied users of these natural analogs have concluded that the answer is yes, bioidenticals are better. But they are't perfect either. Seldom is the answer as simple as rubbing a small amount of gel or cream on twice a day.
Bioidentical hormones are growing in popularity because they are natural, and our bodies can metabolize them as a natural function and without the bad side effects of stronger, synthetic hormones. You may find compounded bioidentical hormones to be of benefit if the creams on the web or at the health foods store don't provide the relief you desire. Men must take the compounding rout if the natural supplements that promote testosterone production or increase the "free" testosterone available to the body. Bioidentical testosterone is available in gels or creams, as a shot and in patches.
A doctor's prescription is required for products with bioidentical testosterone. No prescription is required for testosterone boosting botanicals like LJ100 (longjack) or Testofen™ , which has clinical studies verifying that they work to increase testosterone.
Are bioidentical hormones safer than synthetics?
The Europeans are ahead of us on the study of natural hormone
products. Their medical studies suggest that yes, bioidentical
hormones are safer than synthetic versions. Millions of American;
have had to break with their physician's recommendations and have
self-medicated with these products. They were usually pleased with
the results. In any case, we never recommend that anyone think of
any drug or botanical as
completely safe. But the risks seem to be far less that the
pharmaceutical preparations. Bioidentical makes sense.
The North American Menopause Society, funded by Big Pharma, opposes natural or bioidentical hormones... Duh!
The obvious has been covered up for decades, but now the truth is getting out thanks to old fashioned "word of mouth" and the new media sources like the internet.
NAMS warns against bioidentical hormones, especially those made from "recipes" (their description) at your local compounding pharmacy. The scare tactics are not longer working. Women have become "empowered" and are making their own health choices when it comes to bio identical hormone replacement therapy, as opposed to the synthetic drugs forced on them for decades. Enough is enough!
