Alternative medicine It is important to examine the claim that herbal remedies help relieve menopausal symptoms.[59] Some botanical sources, referred to as phytoestrogens, do not simply mimic the effects of human steroidal estrogen but exhibit both similar and divergent actions. The ultimate actions of these compounds in specific cells is determined by many factors including the relative levels of the estrogen receptors ER alpha and beta and the diverse mix of coactivators and corepressors present in any given cell type. Thus they have been described to act somewhat like selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Effects vary according to the phytoestrogen studied, cell line, tissue, species and response being evaluated [60]. Systematic reviews of intervention studies question the validity of the proposed benefits of phytoestrogen supplementation, with little data in postmenopausal women to support a role for phytoestrogens as an alternative for conventional HT [61]. Femarelle is a mixture of DT56a soy derivative and ground flaxseed at a ratio of 3:1, for oral administration. Each capsule contains 344 mg soy and 108 mg flaxseed — altogether 430 mg powder. It is being promoted for the treatment of menopause and prevention of bone loss and has also been described as having SERM qualities,[62] thereby reducing the safety risks involved in estrogenic-like treatments[citation needed]. In 2008 the European Food Safety Authority concluded that “a cause and effect …

Endocrinologist Dr. Marina Johnson – What inspired me to write my eBook, “Outliving Your Ovaries”?
posted @ 8:34 pm in [ WomenHealth ]
“Outliving Your Ovaries: An Endocrinologist Weighs The Risks And Rewards Of Treating Menopause With Hormone Replacement Therapy” provides break-through, new menopause research explaining why pharmaceutical topical bioidentical hormones are safer than the most commonly used hormones. Dr. Marina Johnson gives poignant clinical stories from her 28 years of clinical experience during which she has managed over 100000 female patient visits. These stories depict the tragic consequences of estrogen deficiency and the joy of transformation that occurs when a woman is made whole again. This eBook will give a woman a guidebook that helps her evaluate the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in clear, easy-to-understand terms so she can better work with her own physician to determine what’s right for her. It’s been estimated that 6000 women in the United States become menopausal every day. That is four women every minute. According to the US Census statistics, 50 million women are expected to be menopausal by the year 2020. In spite of these vast numbers, because every woman goes through menopause, it is often not even considered a medical problem. Fewer than 20 percent of American post-menopausal women take hormones. Of those women given prescriptions for hormones, half of them discontinue therapy after the first year. Estrogen deficiency is associated with increases in heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and many other medical conditions that …

From Chicago – Sleep apnea raises risk of aggressive heart disease, according to a report presented at the Radiological Society of North America meeting. Comparing a sample of obese patients with sleep apnea to obese patients without the condition, researchers found that the sleep apnea patients had more non-calcified (’bad’) plaque in their arteries. From Boston – Excess belly fat raises risk of osteoporosis in women, according to a report presented at the Radiological Society of North America meeting. Researchers studied 50 postmenopausal women, finding a link between increased abdominal fat and decreased bone mineral density. And finally, from California – Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds a cell irregularity in children with autism. Comparing children with autism to healthy controls, researchers found that the autism patients were more likely to have mitochondria dysfunction and mitochondrial DNA abnormalities.
