Synthetic Hormones and Breast Cancer

According to Dr. Rowan T. Chlebowski, long-term (synthetic) HRT probably caused breast cancer in 200,000 women between 1992 and 2002. The majority of those 200,000 women endured biopsies, surgeries, chemotherapy and/or radiation. About 22 percent of women who get breast cancer die.

But, and I say BUT with capitals….In 2002 the National Institutes of Health stopped a study and made the results public....that the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) found that estrogen-plus-progestin HRT ( PremPro) increased the risk of breast cancer, stroke, heart disease and gallbladder disease. Women stopped taking their synthetic hormone prescriptions by a whopping 66 percent.

I am so happy to report that since 2003 the recent reduction in the incidence of breast cancer among women in certain age groups in the United States has been shown to be related to a decrease in the use of combined estrogen plus progestin ( synthetic hormones).

As many of you know I have been warning women since 1989 to get off synthetic hormones and use Natural Hormones. Do I feel vindicated???? You bet I do!!!! I have to say Thank you to The Lord for making me aware of this AND, giving me the boldness to speak it out loud when no one else would…

Cordially,
