[Guest guest]

post and pass along EVERYWHERE

Estriol taken off the Market at behest of a drug company!!!!

 

Unprecedented action by FDA- Estriol removed from the market after direct

request by WYETH Pharmaceuticals!!

 

Please write/email and phone your congressmen and senators expressing your

disagreement with this. NO drug company should be allowed this sort of power and

be allowed to play puppetmaster to the FDA. AND if possible boycott Wyeth. Have

your Drs change prescriptions and/or avoid buying anything from their OTC line

of products.

 

Background

 

Estriol is a natural form of estrogen and is considered to be an excellent

treatment for women looking to ease menopausal symptoms and for some with

multiple sclerosis. It’s the safest form of estrogen due to its ability to

protect against the adverse effects of the other stronger estrogens in the body.

For DECADES, estriol has been recognized by the USP ( Unites States

Pharmacopoeia) which is the official standards-setting authority for all drugs,

supplements and other health care products.

 

There has been NO evidence of toxicity or dangers that prompted this removal and

NEVER before has something been summarily removed from the market under these

circumstances, solely at the behest of a drug company.

 

Why would Wyeth ask for this?? In 2002 a large study was terminated after it was

found that Wyeth’s blockbuster drug PREMPRO ( Horse urine hormones and

synthetic “progesteroneâ€) dramatically increased risk

of breast cancer, heart attacks and stroke.

 

Unsurprisingly women wanted nothing more to do with Prempro! Or even other

conventional ( non-natural or synthetic) hormone drugs which meant SALES

plummeted. The women turned to pharmacies that compounded natural (

bioiedentical) hormones including estriol per individualized prescriptions from

their doctors. Unwilling to let profits slip away and cheered on by other drug

companies also looking to dampen competition by natural substances; Wyeth turned

to their buddies at the FDA and well, we now see what powerful drug companies

more interested in profit can do.

This cannot be allowed to continue. Please consider taking whatever action you

can.
