ORLANDO, Fla. - Memory loss, fatigue, a ringing in the ears -- probably not what you're used to hearing when women talk about menopause. But those symptoms, and many more, are exactly what a growing number of women must deal with. The documentary, Hot Flash Havoc, which is now online and on DVD, touches on a subject that has been taboo for too long. The film's executive producer calls it a crash course for couples and she hopes that by entertaining viewers, she'll educate millions of women around the world. For women like Maria Venero, menopause was no laughing matter, and she was hesitant to use Hormone Replacement Therapy. "I heard a lot of stories," says Venero. "Put it off, tried a few things. Natural stuff didn't work." Maria's concern stemmed from the large-scale Women's Health Initiative study, which was released in 2002. It warned of an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease for women using HRT. But critics now point out that both risks increase with age regardless of Hormone Replacement Therapy use. Unsure of what to do, Maria turned to midwife Karen Bosia for guidance, and found reassurance. Read more: New types of Hormone Replacement Therapy … Continue reading →

Dr. Tim Bilash Announces New Findings Refuting Previous Studies on Hormone Replacement Therapy, Offers Free Consultations Dr. Timothy Bilash, MD's has announced his new research findings that refute a 2002 WHI study that post menopausal women should not take estrogen. For women who have undergone hysterectomy, Dr. Timothy Bilash, a Solana Beach OB/GYN is offering a free personal educational consultation that will help dispel fears about developing cancers and deaths caused by estrogen. According to the article, Yale University researchers "hope the new findings will jolt patients and their physicians into reconsidering the avoidance of estrogen. Dr. Bilash explained, The estimate is that 50,000 deaths over 10 years could have been prevented with estrogen." According to Dr. Bilash, low estrogen levels have been attributed to premature aging, increased risks of heart disease, osteoporosis, and fractures. Lower estrogen levels in menopause contribute to memory loss, skin aging, bone and joint pain, mortality, decreased libido and more.

My website contains a wealth of information and research on HRT. The first WHI study, published in 2002, stated … Continue reading →

Hormone replacement therapy. Those three words sparked no small amount of controversy a decade ago, when the results of one of the largest clinical studies ever mounted showedwomen taking a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones had an increased risk for breast cancer. That study, known as the Womens Health Initiative, convinced women across the country to opt out of taking estrogen. Now, a new study published in theAmerican Journal of Public Healthis raising concern that a lack of estrogen could be deadly. The article reviewed a 10-year history of estrogen avoidance in postmenopausal women.It concluded that a minimum of 18,601 and as many as 96,610 may have died prematurely due to avoidance of estrogen therapy. Now hold on a second before you think about calling your doctor. Dallas Dr. Jane Sadlerexplains there is a serious caveat with the new study: it refers only to women who do not have a uterus. For women who have undergone hysterectomy, this study is reassuring for limited use of estrogen. Beyond age 60 the need for estrogen should be discussed with your doctor. Read her full article here.

Editor's Choice Academic Journal Main Category: Women's Health / Gynecology Also Included In: Menopause Article Date: 20 Jul 2013 - 0:00 PDT Current ratings for: Withholding estrogen therapy cost tens of thousands of lives 5 (2 votes) Nearly 50,000 women died unnecessarily over the last ten years because estrogen therapy was not given to patients aged 50 to 69 who had undergone a hysterectomy after the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study. In 2002, doctors and patients were seriously put off using HRT (hormone replacement therapy) because two trials - HERS and WHI - suggested that one type might raise the risk of cardiovascular problems. Up to that time, HRT had been seen as the savior for women who were in medical menopause; those who had undergone hysterectomy. Dr. Philip Sarrel, emeritus professor in the Departments of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, and Psychiatry, Yale University, and colleagues gathered and analyzed U.S. census data and hysterectomy rates, and estimated how much hormone replacement therapy had declined among female patients aged 50 to 59 between 2002 and 2011. Before 2002, over 90% of these patients had been prescribed estrogen-only therapy for medical menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, as well as to … Continue reading →
