For the many post menopausal women who have put off hormone replacement for fear of health risks, the evidence is in, and it is not comforting. The Washington Post reports that a study of more than 12,000 women who were followed for about 11 years produced powerful evidence that deaths from breast cancer were more common among hormone-users, apparently because their cancers had already started to spread. The paper reports that the new analysis by the Women's Health Initiative, published in Wednesday's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that women who took the combination of estrogen and progestin – sold as Prempro – were more likely to have tumors that appeared to be larger, were often hard to treat and were more likely to have spread to their lymph nodes. Scarier still, their risk of death appeared elevated. The Post reports that last year, another research project found that women who took hormones were about 70 percent more likely to die from lung cancer.

What I find incredible is that this JAMA article does not mention the fact that Progestins are chemically altered versions of Progesterone. Nor does the news media mention Progesterone, the original human hormone that the drug companies are trying to copy. The synthetic copy is called a Progestin, an inferior, “monster†hormone that causes breast cancer. Progesterone is safe and effective, and more so than any of the chemically altered progestins. So why not use progesterone? None of the articles say this. I find this form of self-censorship to be astounding. Doctors reading this JAMA article are led to believe that Progesterone does not even exist. It does exist. It is even FDA approved at your local drugstore.

my hat is off to you Mr. Dach.
You are exactly what this industry needs my friend. Someone who knows what he is talking about, and not afraid to speak out to hopefully get to those who don’t before they are completely led astray!
