Researchers
halt study, a big dilemma for women.
You
may have read about it already or seen it on the news.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (also known as HRT) drugs are so
dangerous that a major investigational study of their supposed
effectiveness was recently halted in midstream.
This
has never ever happened before in medical/pharmaceutical history.
Because the study uncovered the startling fact that instead of
helping a woman handle menopausal conditions, these drugs were instead
leading to cancer, heart disease, strokes and dangerous blood clots.
"In a dramatic move certain to enflame the long-running debate over hormone-replacement therapy, researchers halted a government study of a hormone pill taken by millions of older women. Long-term use of the pill increases the risk of coronary heart disease, invasive breast cancer, stokes and blood clots in the lungs, the researchers said."
---Wall
Street Journal, July 10th, 2002
The
study was to be an 8-year study that was halted after 5 years due to the
risks outweighing the benefits. The
study contained around 16,000 women.
There has been over 70,000,000 million prescriptions written for
this drug in one year. Health
insurers spent some $1.8 billion on the drugs in 2001.
Results
of the study for women taking Hormone Replacement Therapy developed the
following:
- Breast
Cancer - 26%
- Heart
Disease - 26%
- Stroke
- 41%

Women
taking hormone therapy deserve better guidance!
For the 16,000 women enrolled in a study of hormone replacement
therapy, the advice was clear. After
new research showed that the popular drug therapy does more harm than
good, federal investigators sent study participants letters that told them
to stop taking their pills. Too
bad the 6 million other U.S. women taking similar combinations of
progestin and estrogen can't get such clear guidance.
For them, the answer to the urgent question, "should I quit,
too" is non-existent, garbled or suspect.
It
has
been known for years that there are natural products available to help
with the annoying symptoms of peri-menopause and post-menopause.
I highly
recommend a good foundational nutrition package to guard against heart
disease, osteoporosis and stroke, along with providing symptomatic relief.
