Why you should avoid synthetic HRT......

There are two reasons I shall give in this article:

Firstly,researchers discovered that patients with breast cancer seemed to double their risk from dying from the disease.

Then a team of researchers from Oxford University published an extensive, large scale study involving 129,000 post menopausal women, examining nine years of medical records. They reported a significantly increased risk of ovarian cancer among women who used oestrogen only HRT for more than five years. Now cancer is not an illness anyone needs, but ovarian cancer is particularly nasty. It is difficult to detect, usually displays symptoms late and is challenging to treat. The best policy is prevention. So anything that increases the risk should be avoided. There are natural sources of hormone replacement when the need arises. I will discuss these soon. But remember - avoid synthetic HRT.

To your abundant excellent health,
