Change the Name, It’s Still Poison

Ask yourself why they (major media outlest) don't talk about natural progesteone cream.

Don’t call HRT, (hormone replacement therapy) HRT anymore. It is now HR or hormone therapy. In the review of the book it was put forward that the decade’s old approach to treating women in menopause should be changed. Did you ever notice when someone fails miserably they should be allowed another chance because their intentions were good? Then to facilitate the restart, they will change the name. Don’t be fooled. It’s the same old solution, just a different name. Hormone therapy (formerly called hormone replacement therapy, or HRT) has for several decades also been promoted as a the only logical way to deal with diseases that are associated with aging and that tend to accelerate after menopause, including heart disease, memory disorders, and osteoporosis. The drug companies have made hundreds of billions of dollars of profit off the misery of women who believed their doctor knew best. They suffered and now they are being asked to suffer again.

The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a major national clinical trial of hormone replacement therapy (sorry, its now called hormone therapy) in healthy post menopausal women, showed that supplemental estrogen does not keep the heart healthy in older women and, when taken in combination with a progestins (drug companies had to add that to hopefully protect against endometrial cancer), it may actually increase the risk of heart disease.

Hormone Replacement Therapy: The Choice is Clear

Natural Progesterone Cream vs. (HRT) Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy is a choice you will have to make. Woman reach menopause naturally around the age of 50, or as a result of having her ovaries surgically removed (hysterectomy). As part of the standard protocol, doctors have routinely prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal symptoms for several decades. These prescription drugs are comprised of synthetic estrogen or a synthetic estrogen and synthetic progesterone (aka progestin) combination. HRT is also used to protect against the loss of bone after menopause.

HRT Risks Too Great

Anxiety about hormone therapy has existed for decades. Many women experienced worse symptoms of menopause or PMS while taking synthetic drug hormones that they had before trying the treatment. Doctors turned a cold shoulder to these women and told them it “wall all in their head”. But then they and doctors like Dr. John Lee were validated by the results from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial, which used HRT to address the most common causes of death, disability and impaired quality of life in postmenopausal women.
