For the majority of women who have used Premarin, Provera, or other patentable or synthetic hormones to ease the symptoms of early menopause, the results have been mostly positive. But in the absence of any "medically accepted" alternatives to these drugs for the last four decades, women have been asked to gamble with their lives, accepting a small risk of cancer in return for a larger chance of preventing atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and possibly, senility and memory loss. Bio-identical natural hormone replacement therapy (NHRT) greatly improves women's odds of "winning" that gamble.

NHRT is the next logical step in menopausal hormone replacement therapy. The concept of replacing hormones with identical hormones in the correct proportions at the correct time makes obvious sense. How could the human species have survived if normal levels of every women's reproductive hormones predisposed her to fatal disease during her fertile years? If natural human hormones increased women's cancer risk much at all, the human species would probably have gone extinct long ago.

Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and are searching for safer alternatives. New research is continually emerging. An estimated two million women are NOT benefiting from bio-identical natural progesterone, estrogens, and testosterone.
