Glad to hear the positive outcome with your family's situations.  |
Synthetic hormone replacement therapy has links to cancer development (was a big thing a while back for women that were on HRT after menopause). There is a huge difference compared to bio-identical hormones.
Synthetic hormones produce free radicals, etc that are toxic to your body... bio-identical hormones are identical to what your body produces. But they're not patentable... so no $ for drug companies = why you don't hear about them.
Having an optimal level of natural hormones is important on so many levels, physical, mental, all translating to a better quality of life.
