By Mahmoud Krecht Since the 1940s, pharmaceutical companies have been labeling synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as the female fountain of youth. However, over the last several years, the double nature of the synthetic HRT has been exposed. The long-term use of synthetic HRT’s has been shown to cause more chronic health risks than short-term benefits. In 1975, clinical studies showed a link between synthetic estrogens and endometrial cancer. Additionally, in 2002 a major study by the Women’s Health Initiative was stopped abruptly because the risk of developing heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer and blood clots was higher in the subjects that took the synthetic hormones. Furthermore, in 2003 additional studies showed that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in women over the age of 65 taking synthetic hormones was increased. Now that we know synthetic hormones are not what they seem to be, where can we find the answer or solution to this problem? Let’s take a look at how Mother Nature has always done it and let us just copy that. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Bio-identical hormones, sometimes referred to as “natural” hormones, are custom-mixed formulas containing various hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally made by your body. Synthetic hormones that are normally prescribed are not bio-identical to the hormones that our bodies make and therefore come with many side effects. The natural hormones are: • Progesterone • Estrogens (estrone, estradiol and estriol) • Testosterone • DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) • Pregnenolone These hormones or a customized combination can help alleviate the symptoms of many ailments that are affected by various hormonal imbalances. • Depression • Disturbed sleep • Poor concentration/memory lapses • Heart disease/atherosclerosis • Hot flashes • Thinning skin • Slow healing
• Osteoporosis • Painful intercourse • Vaginal thinning/dryness • Reduced libido Another major ailment that may be treated is adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue occurs when your body is under a constant amount of stress that becomes cumulative. Without proper adrenal support, every hormone system in your body becomes affected in one way or another. Do you have adrenal fatigue? You might if you suffer from: • Chronic stress • Muscle and joint pain • Migraine headaches • Sleep disorder • Osteoporosis • Poor memory • Low sex drive A simple saliva test can determine if you are deficient in any of the hormones that regulate the body’s functions.
