What Don’t You Know About Hormones?

I just ran across a great health info blog by Dr. Erika, who specializes in hormones and hormone replacement therapy. Every woman, every doctor, and many men should read Dr. Erika’s blog.

It is easy to read. It is full of great info and links to more info. It is also a real eye-opener.

Please go to Dr. Erika’s blog and subscribe to it or bookmark it. If you are a woman who cares about her health, this blog should be one of your favorite sites:

In case you didn’t realize it, what we think we know about hormones and hormone replacement (and other health issues) is often carefully shaped by big drug companies and fed to us by the corporate media (TV networks, radio, magazines…).

That is done not only through advertising but also through canned video news releases or prewritten PR scripts that appear to be part of the news. Ever wonder why Dan Rather took the time to warn you about the “dangers” of using herbs when there are wars, famines, and other important events going on around the world?

Much of what passes for programming on morning talk shows is also simply PR for drug companies. The networks are in cahoots with their biggest advertisers. And the drug companies supply a lot of free programming that looks good, because it is expensively produced.

There is a lot more money to be made in disease and designer drugs than there is in natural health and wellness. So we are often criminally propagandized and misinformed to keep us buying drugs that do more to harm us than the diseases they are supposed to cure.

Worse, the FDA, which is charged with ensuring our health and safety, is actually working for the other side. FDA has recently banned bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, even though it has been medically proven to be safe and effective. Now they have banned therapeutic use of the natural hormone estriol, which has also been proven effective and safe.

So take a look at Dr. Erika’s blog, especially if you are a woman over 30. It might just save your life or that of someone you love.
