Female hormonal health care is in a state of confusion.  Text books on the subjects are often outdated and most research is based on the use of synthetic and horse hormone, which have been incorrectly assumed to behave and metabolize as human hormones.  The end result...many females from puberty through menopause suffer with debilitating hormonal challenges from causes considered unknown. 

Conventional testing

Routine conventional hormone testing of cycling women is a one sample blood test of estrogen and progesterone only;  this is inadequate.  What is needed is a comprehensive test of the many hormones produced by a female that also looks at the hormonal rhythms that occur throughout the cycle. (see testing tab)

Conventional treatment

This is most often synthetic hormones given for years on end. Little is done in conventional treatment to bring a patients' system back into balance and harmony.  This leads to increasing dependence on medication as well as increased risk for side effects. 

It seems the one year the media will tell us that hormone use will cause breast cancer, then the next year it won't. Then it will cause ovarian cancer, then it may not. With all the confusion, where do you turn?

The educated health consumer needs to understand that you will not go wrong by balancing the body from within. The body is the best and most comprehensive pharmacy in the world, we need to utilize the innate wisdom of the body, not shut it down with drugs.
