Bio-identical hormones are exactly the same as those produced by the human body, possessing an identical chemical structure. Thus, they are different from those most commonly prescribed by conventional medical doctors because these synthetic hormones have had part of their molecular structure altered in some way, so that the pharmaceutical companies could obtain a patent on their drug.

Many menopause and pre-menopause related problems relate to an imbalance of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Hormone levels are usually measured in blood serum but they can be measured just as accurately in saliva.

Dear Pharmacist,
I bought a home test kit (saliva test) which measures my hormones. Everything came back normal except my progesterone which was extremely low. Could low progesterone explain my symptoms of weight gain, hot flashes and depression?
–T.P. Dallas, Texas
Answer: Yes, absolutely and there’s an over-the-counter (OTC) fix. The symptoms that could plague a person with low progesterone (also termed estrogen dominance) include weight gain, depression, fatigue, irritability, incontinence, insomnia, heart disease, infertility and osteoporosis.

My brain is lost. My emotions have taken over completely. It is like watching a tidal wave move in and knowing you are helpless before the awesome power of shifting hormones.
It all started at midnight when my husband finally came to bed. I had waited with the light on, which I literally never do. Nevertheless, the light was on. At midnight the stupid light turned off and I fell asleep for what was to be my only hour of sleep all night. 1am baby crying. I do not fall back to sleep easily. 3am baby crying. 5am baby crying. 6:30am alarm. 7am drive to local high school. 7:30am frantic feeding and dressing of 4 other children. 7:50am freak out moment.

It is the natural biomimetic rhythm that is missing from most hormone replacement therapies which women in menopause are taking today to feel better, avoid hot flashes, and increase libido. People have become accustomed to talking about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for menopause.

A few days ago a song got stuck in my head- the slow, haunting violin melody that set the mood in the movie Platoon. But I couldn’t recall who wrote it, and it bugged me. Later, when I wasn’t thinking about it, I suddenly remembered it was Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings.
We all have episodes like this. We forget names and misplace things. We lose our train of thought, and we walk into rooms with no recollection of why we went there in the first place. This is normal human behavior. Now, forgetting a close family member’s name, constantly repeating yourself, or getting lost in familiar places is another issue. Still, even run-of-the-mill memory lapses can be disconcerting, especially if you’re older. You may wonder, “Am I losing it? Is Alzheimer’s just around the corner?”

Many women are so confused and frightened about hormone replacement that they have decided to forget about it. This reaction is not surprising because almost daily there is a new scare headline blaring at them about how hormone replacement causes cancer or even brain shrinkage. Women who were recently told they could regain their lost sexuality by using hormones are now being warned against it. All this confusion is a shame. As a result of it, women are losing out on feeling their best and getting the most from their lives.

A new study with far reaching implications has gone a long way in explaining why women get breast cancer and how they can prevent the disease and its recurrence. Scientists have found evidence that hormonal balance is key in determining whether or not a malignant growth will occur in a woman’s breast. Critical to the outcome is whether receptors in the body for estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are fully functioning.

Dr. Randolph Says That By Lumping Bioidentical and Synthetic Hormones Together, The AMA Is Generating More Confusion and Potentially Putting Women’s Lives Needlessly at Risk
Jacksonville, FL (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 24, 2009 — The American Medical Association’s recent statement that scant medical evidence exists to support bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is dead wrong, says C.W. Randolph, Jr., M.D. R.Ph., board certified gynecologist and Medical Director of the Natural Hormone Institute. “The AMA’s position on hormones is disturbing and disappointing but not necessarily surprising,” says Randolph. “Unfortunately, most physicians across the country were not educated in medical school regarding the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormone replacement and, as a result, they remain unaware of the medical studies from such respected medical research centers as Vanderbilt Medical University and Harvard Medical School – and across the globe – validating the safety and efficacy of this approach to hormone replacement.”
Delegates to the association’s annual meeting in Chicago voted to adopt a new policy regarding the use of hormones in anti-aging procedures. The medical group reviewed human growth hormone, testosterone, and estrogens with and without progestins. “In some cases, evidence suggests that long-term use of a particular hormone has more risks than benefits,” the group said in a release. The AMA also said, incorrectly according to Dr. Randolph, that there is no credible evidence that bioidentical hormones are safer than traditional estrogen and progesterone products.
