Bioidentical Hormones could have saved 50,000 Lives according to Dr. Philip Sarrel
The health benefits of hormone replacement have been known for years. Dr Cathleen Rivera followed 1,000 women under age 45 after hysterectomy, and found that removal of the ovaries resulted in a disturbing 84% increase in death from heart disease. However, if these women were given
estrogen replacement after ovarian removal, they were protected with a 35% decrease in mortality from heart disease. I thought this was rather impressive. (Menopause. 2009 Jan–Feb)
The 2nd arm of the Women’s Health Initiative also showed reduced mortality in the estrogen users (50-59 yrs) after hysterectomy. They showed a 27% reduction in mortality with estrogen users compared to placebo users. Clearly, estrogen deficiency is associated with increased mortality, while estrogen replacement for post-hysterectomy women is very beneficial.
Of course, women should avoid progestins and other synthetic hormones such as medroxyprogesterone (MPA) known to be carcinogenic and cardiotoxic.
The use of natural, bioidentical estrogen and progesterone in the proper balance is the preferred choice. Bioidentical hormones have chemical structures identical to our own hormones, naturally occurring in ourselves. This is the best way to go.
