Dr. Mercola Interviews Dr. Wright about Hormone Replacement

by Dr. Mercola

Can You Believe Drug Companies Used to Pay Me to Promote HRT?


'Yes, at one time I was part of the dark side. Many of you may not know this about me, but after finishing my medical residency training in the mid-80s, I was actually a paid speaker for the drug companies. I got paid to fly around the country to lecture physicians about estrogen replacement therapy. At the time, I was convinced it was an ideal strategy for menopausal women because I was manipulated and deceived by the overwhelming "evidence" that was published in the respected peer-reviewed medical journals.


Only decades later would I finally understand the massive corruption and collusion between the drug companies, medical journals and federal regulatory agencies that provided the illusion of scientific legitimacy when the real primary purpose was to increase their sales.'

Spicing Up Your Hormones Without Hormone Replacement

'One of the insurmountable problems with hormone replacement therapy is that when you replace a hormone you risk feeding the underlying glandular deficiency. 

 In the exuberance associated with the idea of overcoming age-associated declines in sexual, cognitive, skeletal, cardiovascular, etc. function, with both synthetic and bioidentical hormones, the hormone replacement advocates have often neglected to educate their patients to several unintended, adverse effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT): 1) the endocrine system has a negative feedback loop which guarantees that with time the body's ability to produce adequate quantities of the very hormones being targeted for replacement will decline, resulting in the development of biological dependency on an external source of hormones -- not exactly a picture of empowerment.'

Wake-Up Ladies: You’re Being Slowly Poisoned… by Birth Control Pills!

So What Do You Do?

'Since the 1960’s, when birth control pills were first introduced, millions of women worldwide have taken them, believing they were safe and effective for contraception. 

Unfortunately, that’s only a half-truth.  Birth control pills are indeed very effective at contraception. But the downside is they’re extremely hazardous.  Since the introduction of the Pill, there’s been an explosion of women’s diseases and maladies in a scope never experienced before in the history of medicine:

• Migraine headaches
• PMS
• Breast Cancer
• Heart Disease
• Heart Attacks
• Strokes
• Blood Clots
• High Blood Pressure
• Uterine Cancer
• Infertility
• Depression
• Post-Partum Depression
• Uterine Fibroids
• Unnecessary Hysterectomies
• Anxiety Disorders
•  

 

•  'These are just the major problems known to be caused by the Pill (and standard Hormone Replacement Therapy as well).  Plus, we fully expect ovarian cancer and Alzheimer’s Dementia to join this list in the next few years once more studies are completed.
  
  
  
  But ask any doctor, and despite evidence to the contrary, they’ll describe the wonderful “benefits” of using the Pill besides contraception: Reduction in ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, endometriosis and stabilization of periods.  Some brands are marketed to improve acne in younger women.'
  
  How wrong they are!

The Dangers Every Woman Needs to Know About the Birth Control Pill

'Did you know that an estimated 150 million women worldwide take birth control pills?


Such widespread use of birth control pills worries me because many women are not aware of the serious health implications of these drugs. I also believe that birth control pills are often prescribed to address symptoms (like cramping, spotting, irregular periods and acne) instead of the underlying causes of the symptoms.

Many women do not consider the very real (and sometimes very dangerous) side effects of these synthetic hormones, but you owe it to your body, and to your future children, to find out more.'

Human Hormones Are Being Eclipsed By Synthetic Chemicals

'A new study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology has raised some disturbing possibilities regarding the dangers of common hormone-mimicking preservatives found in thousands of consumer products on the market today.

Titled “Parabens detection in different zones of the human breast: consideration of source and implications of findings,” researchers discussed the role that parabens — a class of estrogen-mimicking chemicals widely used in drugs, foods and cosmetics — may have in breast cancer and childhood disease.'

Pomegranates: The New Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy?

'Modern women at midlife have many options when it comes to dealing with those nasty menopausal symptoms like mood swings, depression, bone loss, and fluctuating estrogen levels.  But their most surprising source of natural relief may come from an ancient food:  the juicy pomegranate.

Pomegranates have been cultivated for over 4,000 years.  Our word pomegranate dates back to around 750 B.C. and comes from the Latin "Punicum malum" meaning "Phoenician apple."  Today the fruit is often called a "Chinese apple." '
