Women, this is from the Health Care Reform Institute: Hormone Replacement Therapy [HRT} refers to the Post Menopausal use of Estrogen alone for the women whose Uterus has been removed or the use of Estrogen together with Progesterone for the Post Menopausal women with her Uterus still in her body.[Progesterone protects the Uterus from developing Cancer of the Uterus] The hormones are valuable in that they protect the women from developing Osteoporosis [called weakening of the bones] which makes Hip Fractures more common. It has been shown that the death rate from Fractured Hips in older women is ten times greater than the death rate from Cancer of the Uterus. Estrogen also protects women from Strokes, Heart Attacks, Alzheimers Disease and Cancer of the Colon. Numerous studies, over the past 50 years have failed to find a link between the use of Estrogen and an increase in the incidence of Breast Cancer. The greatest disadvantage to the use of Estrogen in older women, in my opinion, is that their is nothing like it for the older men. Well said. The Womens Health Initiative Study has done more harm to women than well ever know. Unfortunately, most, if not nearly all, ask their OBGYN about HRT, instead of an Endocrinologist expert in hormone therapy. Zoey Bear Tur
