Hiya, ....zooming in with a quickie or two! http://www.inhousepharmacy.biz/c-94-womans-hrt.aspxWhen importing to the US keep the order under 3 months worth to stay within FDA regs. You don't need an Rx, but the stated concept is to allow newcomers to get meds when they are new and haven't get established with a doc. The regs are published online.Laurel Hi Val,Not quite on topic…For some reason Yahoo is re-setting my access to 'groups' and I can't see past posts!Where did you say you bought your estrogen? I know there is a pharmacy people use by mail order (was it masters or something?) which has better rates on patches, etc. I'm going to be in the states soon and thought I would get more. I've been using a combination of patches and estrodial in olive oil.ThanksNoraReply-To: <rhythmicliving >Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 08:52:59 -0600To: <rhythmicliving >Subject: RE: Re: Conflicting information on estrogen delivery methods- what do you think, ladies?In the WHI the Premarin/progestin group slightly, but significantly,increased the breast cancer risk. The Premarin only risk slightly, but notsignificantly, decreased the BC risk. The study of women just on Premarinwas stopped because of the increased stroke incidence. I don't know of anystudies of stroke risk with transdermal bioidentical vs oral bioidentical.I didn't read all the references at the bottom of the article. Too badthere were no links. I have often read articles with citations but uponreading the citations, the article's conclusions could not be supported.That was how the late Lee's website was in radically promotingprogesterone cream. I wouldn't draw any conclusions without reading allthose supporting references.Val-----Original Message-----From: rhythmicliving [mailto:rhythmicliving ]On Behalf Of astrodianaThe WHO study was flawed from my perspective...they used Premarin with orwithout progestins..alll synthetics - they attributed the blood clots risketc to the Premarin they used (it was not done with bio-identical estradiol,from what i remember)and actually, when looked at more closely, the premarinalone was far less likley to be involved with any blood clot risks andproblems of that nature as when progestins were added.> >> > I always thought that transdermal methods are preferable to oraldelivery- so that estradiol can bypass the liver, and also to avoid theincrease of the binding hormone production (which makes estrogenunavailable), as well as the impairment of the Growth Hormone production(http://edrv.endojournals.org/content/25/5/693.full.)> > > > But I just came acros this article that promotes oral estrogen overtransdermal and states that only the oral estrogen affects cardiovascularhealth(?!):> > http://www.worldlinkmedical.com/blog/transdermal-vs-oral-e2-estradiol/> > > > What's your take?
