Why wasn't this testing done before that?

There have been about a zillion studies of hormone therapy done over the years with varying results

I think one impetus to these recent larger studies is the age of baby boomers. Many women are and will be entering the age at which hormones are considered, and a lot more women in that group want to stay "forever young", IMO.

A female doctor was just on who was likely a doctor from the drug company.

She said she wasn't surprised by the results

Also said if you're doing well on the meds, keep on taking it (which means if you're still alive, keep buying the meds. She contradicted just about everything the folks are saying about "getting off" those meds.

In regard to clots, they asked her about aspirin...she said they didn't know if that really works to stop that problem.

Where did this lady come from, who is she working for and why was she giving so much "Opposite" instruction to present takers of this hormone replacement therapy.

P.S. Hot flashes...it's just annoying flipping the covers on and off all night long or taking a quick trip outside into the snow.

Don't fool with mother nature, folks.

Early stats on this therapy (maybe 5 years back) indicated if taken for thirty years, you would live eight days older. I did a big whoopee on that one.

there are some people out there who will fly in the face of this and say ahhh don't worry about it...

but it's not them who are taking this bullsh*t and they are not at risk!

big tobacco will make the law suits on big pharmaceutical look like small change...

once the ball gets rolling on this it'll be a slaughter...
