Does Estrogen-Only HRT Decrease Breast Cancer Risk? Nationally Recognized Endocrinologist Dr. Marina Johnson Weighs In
"....So here's Dr. Johnson's take-home message: "You don't need to delay starting HRT if you choose natural estradiol and progesterone over synthetic estrogens and progestins. Don't endure symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, mental confusion, and weight gain. Start HRT within 10 years of menopause for the most protection against Heart Disease, Alzheimer's and Osteoporosis.
"Avoid the increased heart attacks and strokes seen in WHI by choosing topical estrogen in the form of patches, gels, creams and mists that are available at any drug store. Pharmaceutical natural hormones (also called bioidentical hormones) are superior to compounded bioidentical hormones because they are required to meet higher standards for quality control and efficacy."
