They should take this off the market. Not day goes by when I have a customer complaining about HRT. There's a DO nearby that does natural HRT and the one customer that went raves about it.
Thanks. I never did feel taking hormones was safe and haven't very much. Good thing. As you know, I am diabetic. Sometimes, it pays to listen to gut feelings.
Aw-oh, I guess we will have to put the women that are on hormone therapy on the ATKINS diet. That would solve the diabetes problem.

Quote from you: As a non-gyn, I try to convince my patients that if they need a hysterectomy, they should have the ovaries removed, as in all liklihood, the only thing they will accomplish in the future is bad for their health. The hormones the ovaries produce can be replaced for the necessary duration to treat the menopausal symptoms that will occur after removing functional ovaries...
I have my ovaries removed in my 20's. I have to be on some form of hormone replacement. It took years finding doc's who understood the difference between menopause and surgical castration.
My compounded combo is a mix of plant based estrogen, progestrone and a smidge of testosterone.
Tried going off of it and I for the sake of humanity I went back on them.
