Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think the biggest problem with the book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer: How Hormone Balance Can Save Your Life by Drs. Lee and Zava is the scarcity of data. What, for instance, is the percentage of women who got breast cancer while taking progesterone compared to those who did not? If someone can find the answer in this book, I would appreciate it if they would let me know. We are often told that there are no studies on natural progesterone because drug companies are unwilling to spend money on things they can't patent. Why then don't the authors of the books on natural progesterone, the saliva testing labs and the manufacturers get together and set aside some of their profits for research? In a recent letter, physician and researcher Dr. Barry Wren stated that while " ... women experiencing severe menopausal symptoms following treatment of breast cancer may be prescribed HRT without increasing their risk of recurrence or death - the problems of secondary spread of the disease still existed. If viable cancer cells were still present, HRT would promote the growth of these cells, but if the intervention had removed or destroyed the cells then that woman was not at increased risk. " How, I wonder, can anyone be sure that all of cancer cells have been removed or destroyed? Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
