Re: re safety of bio-identicals: progesterone

[Guest guest]

how about NIH for starters- they have a whole section on natural medicine and

alternative medicine. they have done a lot of research in this area. or it could

be another country say Germany- since they wrote the book on natural medicine

and herbs and are considered the resource on herbal and natural medicine in the

world. actually any country besides the US is more advanced than we are as far

as natural medicine goes.

who ever does fund the study they just have to have very deep pockets because it

hugely expensive to fund a medical study- millions if not a billion to fund a

long term study. one that is over 5 years in length; the best studies are over

10 years in length. because it takes that long to see all the potential risks

that may occur.

Re: /Painful breasts

you think there should be a study to see if the hormones which are natural to

our own bodies are dangerous? I wonder who would fund that one?

the study DID NOT address bio-identicals. I agree that they should do a study

that included bio-identicals, so we can see if they are any risks associated

with them. BUT right NOW we are in the dark as far as the long term risks with

using bio-identicals in breast cancer and ovarian cancer and especially if one

uses more then the recommended doses.
