Low Dose Estradiol Does It Again!

Well, for ONCE they are starting to get the picture! Studies are showing up using 17 beta estradiol INSTEAD of conjugated estrogens and look at this! Women who used .025mg 17 beta estradiol daily only took progesterone orally every 6 months for 14 days, had an increase in bone mineral density at the hip, spine, wrist and total body. There were no reports of breast cancer ( they followed them for 3 years..remember the scare tactics about using estrogen for 3 years..I mean, premarin....and breast cancer) and no cases of endometrial hyperplasia. But if you listened to the press, this report was barely mentioned. Could it be it flies in the face of the hysteria they are creating about hormones, breast cancer, uterine cancer and the like? Nah, they wouldn't do that to us now, would they?
