Effect of hormone replacement therapy on cardiovascular events in recently postmenopausal women: randomised trial | BMJ

Effect of hormone replacement therapy on cardiovascular events in recently postmenopausal women: randomised trial Schierbeck et al BMJ 2012;345:e6409
Conclusions After 10 years of randomised treatment, women receiving hormone replacement therapy early after menopause had a significantly reduced risk of mortality, heart failure, or myocardial infarction, without any apparent increase in risk of cancer, venous thromboembolism, or stroke.
They used bio-identicals you see, not cheaper, artificial estrogen-like compounds as with other studies.

  1. Hi Zoe, Thanks or this link. Being an alternative/holistic medicine physician I can only prescribe bioidentical hormones. The US FDA and other agencies are trying hard to push the synthetics. It is
    about $ and what is patentable and they do not care what happens to the patients. I think that the synthetic hormones are dangerous and I do not recommend them. Every hormone that you can think of is available as a bioidentical hormone
    and can be made just as potent.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
