Thought Experiment Helps Women in Menopause with Bio-identical Hormone Replacement

Thought Experiment Helps Women in Menopause with Bio-identical Hormone Replacement
Today there is much confusion among women and doctors about
hormone therapy for women in menopause. There are as many
as two million women in the U.S. who use customized
hormones for menopause symptoms.

While writing a book for women in the life stage of aging,
one California-based reseacher and writer asked an
important question. T.S. Wiley asked,"If hormone
replacement was made of real bio-identical hormones and
dosed to mimic the ups and downs of the hormone blood
levels in a normal menstrual cycle in a 20 year-old woman,
would all of the symptoms and disease states of aging
decline or even, disappear?"

To her surprise, and also many others, it just might be
that it was the rhythm that was always missing from other
regimens.

Today, tens of thousands of women have discovered her
Protocol. Their libido is improved, and they look and feel
much better. But there are still many women who are still
confused about hormones, in the wake of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) Women's Health Initiative (WHI).
Getting hormones is difficult because doctors became leery.
Getting legitimate insurance-covered physicians to
prescribe even bio-identical hormone molecules has, for the
last twenty-years or so, also been a challenge.

That can't be said for any statically dosed form of BHRT.
What can be said, though, is that the WHI has proven that
synthetic hormones are dangerous. The common assumption
among women using bio-identical regimens is that they are
doing something that is safe or safer. But it is important
to keep in mind that it could have been the synthetics that
may have caused harm because of the way they were
statically dosed not just because they weren't
bio-identical hormone molecules.

However, Wiley's new delivery system consists of
bio-identical estradiol and progesterone in a topical cream
preparation dosed to mimic the natural hormones produced by
a body that is around 20 years-old. The creams and their
amounts vary throughout the 28 day cycle to mimic the
hormone levels of youth when heart disease and stroke, Type
II diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease weren't
immediate concerns.

"I do not think I would be here today if I did not discover
this new protocol. I was severely depressed and went
everywhere for help and tried everything and all of my
physical symptoms of bleeding for over one year just would
not stop. And I felt just like the woman described in
Suzanne Somers' book going from one doctor to another and
getting nowhere with no help. I was ready to commit
suicide. If I could take anything on a desert island other
than my dog, it would only be my Wiley Protocol hormone
creams," said Marla Mintz.

This is the only BHRT that has been developed under the
scrutiny of a practicing Oncologist. Over the last three
years a preponderance of anecdotal evidence has been
gathered in over a thousand women ages nineteen to ninety
that show evidence that this protocol is safe and effective.
