I've been on compounded hormones for 10 years. I'm 58 look ten years younger according to people who meet me and don't know me. I had 12 pelvic operations over 25+ years, and unlike my cousins, who were gutted out like pigs before age 40, I use acupunture, Chinese Herbs, and now hormones made from soy by a compounded pharmacist. They were put on pharacuticals (probably Premerin) and both got cancer. One is now dead.
I never procede with alternatives without western diagnosis. Don't forget homeopathic meds.
Compounded hormones for women & men are safer but it has to be monitored by a health professional with blood test, etc. My western doctors refuse to learn how to do it. My trip to the doctor for this every year is out of pocket--$400 per visit. The hormones run my about $75 a month, again out of pocket, as insurance will not cover it.
As far as I am concerned, it's just one more government, AMA & big Pharma control over our lives, and quite frankly they often KILL US.
