Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Of course there is. What most don't understand is that cancer is a symptom, not a pathology per se. Varied things and conditions can cause it. Most of the estrogen/progesterone fed theories do not take into account that a pathogen may need these hormones to be present in order to be activated and flourish and result in a symptom of cancer. Most in the medical community totally over-look the " middlemen " with such theories. doug (Mo) Re: Study firmly ties hormone use to breast cancer > I'm sure the study is valid, but I think there is more involved, too. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'm glad you recognize those facets. Cancer is not only a symptom, it's an imbalance of many things in the body (lack of proper nutrients, vitamins and minerals, toxic metals intake - no out-take chelation, food additives, incorrect cooking utensils - pots and pans, chlorinated - not pure spring water, highly oil pesticided and oil based fertilized veggies and fruits, chemically laden meats and poultry, toxic chemical intake even in the air we breathe, fluoride, nasty dental procedures, EMF's, RF's, etc.,). The modern mediSIN theories are just business practices to make money - not cure. Medical ethics world-wide seem to have gone down the drain in the last 60 - 70 years - maybe even longer. If one is not on a self-oriented and informed preventative program, God have mercy... > Of course there is. What most don't understand is that cancer is a > symptom, > not a pathology per se.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Is that bio identical hormones or the typical synthetic analogs that are prescribed ?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 The report says " Progestin " , which I think is synthetic form of protesterone.
