There are great controversies regarding HRT. I, for one, am not fearful of the stuff, not in the least. The studies done so far really do not test the 'best' HRT, that of a plant-based estradiol type formulation. Most all of the testing (and fear) is regarding Premarin, the HRT gold standard for many years which is conjugated equine estrogen extracted from the urine of chained pregnant mare's urine.

Ans. No, all women need not take HRT as many women are asymptomatic, this may be due to production of some hormones but for long terms problems like osteoporosis and heart problems, HRT can be started as a precautionary measure in asymptomatic women.

HRT is an abbreviation for Hormone Replacement Therapy. Several years ago it became popular for doctors to prescribe the hormone estrogen for women with menopausal symptoms. They thought they were replacing the hormones lost with the advent of menopause. Contemporary physicians now know that estrogen is not the hormone needing to be replaced. They are becoming increasingly aware that it is progesterone that is desperately in need of replacing.

For decades now, doctors have been prescribing millions of women HRT drugs to help them with the symptoms of menopause. The recent study for HRT drugs was not started until congresswomen and women's groups lobbied for more attention paid towards improving women's health care. Congress, in response, appropriated money for a new research initiative at the National Institutes of Health.

The term is used to describe an apparently biologically normal individual who has an overwhelming desire to be identified as a member of the opposite sex. Increasingly such individuals seek chemical (hormone) therapy and surgery to conform their body to that of the opposite biological sex. In reality it is impossible to chemically or surgically alter one's biological sex. Medical authorities consistently assert that sex is determined by the chromosomes.

Yes. Be sensible of course, as you would be anywhere. But your kit - rucksack, boots, stick - identify you immediately as a pilgrim, and the local people still respect the pilgrims' motivation. In any case, on the le Puy route and the Camino francés, you're never really alone: there is a great sense of community among the pilgrims, and there will always be others close by to help you if you need it, and to walk with if you choose.

One thing we have learned from the large trials performed (The Million Women & WHI trials) is that any form of hormone therapy should not be taken continuously. However, there is considerable evidence to show that Progesterone has a protective effect on breast tissue by encouraging breast cells to die (Apoptosis)2, once they have finished their intended life cycle.

Largely because transsexualism is swept under the carpet by society, it is common for people with the condition to not realise for many years what exactly is causing them problems. If your nose is runny, your throat is sore and your body aches, it is easy to guess you have influenza; you have seen other people with the same symptoms. One does not see many people with obvious outward symptoms of transsexualism. Therefore it is less easy to determine that one has the syndrome.

Studies show maternal asthma that is well-managed during pregnancy does not increase the risk of maternal or infant complications. With appropriate asthma management, you can have a healthy baby. Conversely, there is a direct relationship between lower birth weight and uncontrolled asthma. So, it benefits you and your baby to control asthma symptoms.

Most women over thirty-five years of age need some form of hormone supplementation, which can include testosterone, human growth hormone, thyroid, and possibly others. This applies to women that have reached menopause as well as premenopausal women. Menopause is clearly a hormone deficiency condition.

It is recommended that Bimuno is taken daily on a regular basis. Bimuno is a health food ingredient of natural origin. Its safety has been confirmed in clinical trials. The recommended servings should be observed at all times. Although no adverse effects have been reported, milk allergy or lactose intolerance sufferers should exercise caution when taking Bimuno. Although no adverse effects have been reported, diabetes sufferers should consult their healthcare professional before taking Bimuno.

There has been a lot of recent publicity about the risks of blood clots in veins (venous thrombosis) occurring during long haul flights. It has been known for a long time that oral contraceptives increase the risk of blood clots. It is now known that HRT can do the same, but to a lesser extent. For healthy women who have no past history of thrombosis, the risk of getting a blood clot is very small. You should not need to stop your HRT before a long flight.

Researchers have empirical evidence that HRT can increase muscle mass, decrease body fat, increase bone density, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve your sleep patterns, strengthen your immune system, enhance your sexual drive and performance, regenerate your heart, liver and kidneys, improve your skin tone and remove wrinkles. - (1*, 2*)
