This study sent shock waves through the medical community! I am still on a mission to warn everyone I can via TV, Radio, Internet & Publications that taking synthetic hormones can put a woman in harm’
May 27, 2005 (Press Release) --
1. On July 9, 2002 the National Institutes of Health HALTED a landmark scientific study of synthetic hormone replacement therapy because they found that synthetic estrogen/progestin therapy resulted in: 41% increased risk of stroke, 29% increased risk of heart attack, 26% increased risk of breast cancer and a doubled rate of blood clots in the legs and lungs. This study sent shock waves through the medical community.
2. JAMA, (Feb. 13th, 2002) study of Hormone Replacement Therapy in Relation to Breast Cancer. Results showed the longer use of HRT was associated with increased risk of lobular breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer, all histological types combined, was increased by 60% to 85% in recent long-term users of HRT. Long-term HRT use was associated with a 50% increase in non lobular cancer. Their data adds to the growing body of evidence that recent long-term use of HRT is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and that such use may be related particularly to lobular tumors.
3. Previously, in 1995, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published an article stating that not only long-term, but short-term users of Premarin had a 40% risk of acquiring breast cancer.
4. In the 1995 Nurses’ Health Study, a study was done on the increased risk of breast cancer in women taking various synthetic hormones. It was found that women taking estrogen alone had a 36% increased risk; those on synthetic estrogen plus progestin had a 50% increase; those on progestins alone had a 240% increased risk of acquiring breast cancer! Women who, at the time of the study, had been taking estrogen and progestin for 5-10 years had a 45% increased risk. This study is one of the largest done to date.
5. Also in the Nurses’ Health Study, the older a woman was the higher the risk. Women between the ages of 60 and 64 who had been taking synthetic hormones for five years or more had an increased risk of developing breast cancer by 71%. Studies have shown that within 5 years of discontinuing synthetic hormones, a woman’s risk of breast cancer returns to normal.
