No links and I'm more than familiar with how doctors use medical studies and how medical studies are done than most people. I would trust my wife's OB over any oncologist as what actually causes cancers is still correlative and not empirical except in extremely limited cases. Docs typically just repeat what they've been told by researchers.Yeah, I know about those and they're all old and outdated. The supposed link between estrogen replacement and breast cancer, higher risk of heart disease which everyone quotes was a study done on synthetic estrogen ONLY, natural estrogen replacement not only doesn't cause those increased risks they're beneficial in many other ways.Like I said there are bits of info in the article. You don't have to buy anything but the links to the studies are also in that.I would put this in the same category as holistic snake oil salesman, he's trying to sell you his products which may or may not help.I came upon this article searching out some information and found it has some tidbits that are interesting in it for those trying to balance out their hormones with food stuffs. Hormones regulate so many things internally its worth taking the time to learn about which ones do what.
12 Tips to Balance Estrogen Levels Naturally
What kind of doctor is he? Doctor of medicine? Doctor of chemistry? Doctor of physics? Doctor of aeronautics?
The problem is that study was done very recently and the word is still getting out. We found out from the wife's OB who had just finished a training seminar on exactly this subject last year, changed everything she originally had been told about estrogen replacement.
Do some research on your own too...This is a OB -Gyn telling you this..yes she went to a convention but she is not an oncologist..
I am not feeling really well right now..but when I feel a bit better I will get you some links..
Estrogen cream vaginally is said to not get into the blood ( Stanford doctors told me that ) but taking anything orally will...Do you have any links on this from your doctor?
I wish I studied on my own...but you need to do what you need to do.
I have been through breast cancer 2 times. I have had so many surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation over the last 5 years of being a survivor..It came back 2 years ago this month...I had to do it allover again.
The breast cancer surgeon specialist missed tissue the first time, so it came back and got out of my lymph nodes into my body which means it can show up anywhere now ..
I have been to support groups of many women where the cancer has spread into their body (like mine ) many of them are dying or on drugs to keep them alive.. these are personal stories.. many of them have estrogen positive cancer..
10 years ago it was considered the best thing to eat tons of soy because it was a natural way , today they tell women to stay away from it ..
My good friend is a doctor, and had the gene blood test done which is affordable. It measures the mutations in your body and % of breast cancer risk in the future. This is not the estrogen level blood test.. She was considered high risk for breast cancer and is now on a anti estrogen drug to take the estrogen's out of her body ..
It is a blood test...
I can not tolerate that anti estrogen drug..it is horrible
Anyway I won't give you any links..Blessings to you and your wife..
