This is my first time posting, so maybe you have already discussed this issue.  I have been doing the Suzanne Sommers diet and she advocates only NATURAL HRT.  Is this better?

Hi Daturtle,Check the board for Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy NHRT . There are many women here  who have tried the natural hormones. You can also read alot of transcripts that Dearest has  interviewed as guests here who are experts on the natural hormones.  Pete is the power-surge pharmacist who is an expert on the naturally compounded hormones and can also give you personal advice on getting tested to see what you need.

Hi daturtle, Suzie! Yes, definately better. Bio-identical is best. Cremes and troches also bypass the liver. There is a lot of excellent reading in here on this subject. Enjoy your learing experience. Oh! and congradulations on your first post.  :)

The gals are right. Naturally compounded hormones are supposed to be much safer than the synthetic.

Pete is one of the consulting pharmacists on Power Surge. Erika Schwartz, M.D., is also very knowledgeable about naturally compouned hormones and can prescribe and fill your natural hormones

You can ask them questions directly in the Ask The Experts area. You can also read transcripts of their visits to Power Surge in the Library.

You'll find a great deal of information about natural hormones in the area, The HRT Controversy.

Best, Dearest
