Thanks for the link Carolyn. I gave up on Larry because he has been totally

politics for SO LONG!

What is the general feel about biologically identical hormone replacement

therapy?

I think it's an interesting idea to not only use bioidentical hormones

but to peg them to a cycle sort of like you'd have if you were

menstruating. IF someone is going to do HRT I would guess that is

probably the better way to do it. (I have my own beef with the

idea--that we're " missing hormones " after we go through menopause.

We're *supposed* to go through menopause--having babies when we get

older is a huge strain on the body. Heck, it's a huge strain on

twenty-year-olds. But IF you're gonna do it...)

That said, Somers relies heavily on the advice of someone who isn't a

doctor and who is apparently prescribing--or " suggesting " --very high

hormone dosages. I was just reading about T. S. Wiley the other day

because I've got her book Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar, and Survival, which

actually *is* very good. But her later stuff about HRT has generated a

lot of controversy. Not being a doc and not knowing much about the

protocol other than what I've heard thirdhand, I can't say much more

than that.

I'd also like to see some proof for some of what Somers stated in the

King interview. For instance, the idea that we don't make hydrochloric

acid after forty. Apparently that's still controversial; here's a

French research abstract about it (in English):

And here are Google search results as a starting point:

http://www.google.com/search?q=gastric+acid+and+age

Now some of what she said appears to be valid. And that's really what's

frustrating about food advocacy or, really, advocacy of any kind--the

good info mixes with the bad. Then again I guess you could say that

about research and " peer review " as well, so I tend to do quite a bit of

eyerolling when some scientolator comes along and condemns alternative

medicine for lacking it. I want to say to them, " Oh, you mean the kind

where scientists only review the stuff that agrees with their own biases? "
