NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Women who use estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy don’t appear to be at increased risk of dying from lung cancer.
That’s according to a new analysis of earlier data from postmenopausal women who had had their uterus removed (hysterectomy).

Excess estrogen has led to estrogen dominance; causing hormonal imbalance in women at an ever-earlier age and to a significantly greater degree then has ever been known. Estrogen levels in women are naturally higher, but in their mid-30s both estrogen and progesterone levels begin to drop in women. Progesterone levels drop to where a woman is producing near zero, but estrogen levels only decline by 40 to 60 percent, leaving the woman in a state of estrogen dominance.
Risk factors are connected to hormonal imbalance.

Despite safer, effective natural options many doctors still offer women no alternative to traditional HRT.

A survey carried out through Yours.co.uk in association with Phyto Soya UK has revealed that 80% of menopausal women in the UK are not being offered alternatives to HRT. Frankly, I’m surprised that 20% are being offered alternatives.

Women who want to use hormone replacement therapy may be less likely to have a stroke if they use low-dose patches instead of pills, Canadian researchers reported on Thursday.
Their study of British women showed that those who used estrogen patches to control symptoms of menopause did not have any higher risk of stroke than women who did not use HRT.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, adds to a very slowly growing body of evidence that could rehabilitate the use of HRT, which plummeted in 2002 after the publication of the Women’s Health Initiative study, which found an increased risk of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, strokes and other health problems from hormone therapy.
