SAFETY !!
If you are approaching Menopause or there already... you NEED Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) for your continued health in your future 40 or more years of life. HRT is
NOT nearly as dangerous as the lack of it!
SAY YES to TESTOSTERONE
The biggest flaw in commonly prescribed female HRT (hormone replacement therapy) to date
is the complete omission of one of the 3 essential sexual hormone groups, namely the
androgens (testosterone).
Do you have backaches, arthritic pain in joints, migraine headaches, plummeting libido, no
energy, and an inability to think clearly? After hot flashes and vaginal dryness, these
are the most common menopausal complaints. No these are not signs of a disappearing
estrogen or progesterone supply; these physical ills are the result of testosterone
starvation. You NEED this essential hormone to protect your health.
JUST SAY NO to PILLS
The second most egregious error in common gynecological practice is administration of
hormones via the oral route. Very little of these substances survive the digestion
process, thus treatment with pills is most often completely ineffective. Since prescribed
amounts of hormones in pill form must necessarily be 75% in excess of what is actually
needed in order to see any benefits, it follows that any health risks are increased by 75%
as well. Patches, compounded creams, and other parenteral forms of replacement hormones
are available. Demand them!
YOUR OPTIONS
for SAFE & EFFECTIVE HRT
It is unlikely that your doctor will advise you of ALL the currently available choices
that you have for hormone replacement therapy. Complicated legalities and ill-advised
protocols surround many HRT products and methods. This section will help to fill in that
information gap. Ultimately it is your health, and you have an ethical right to this
information. Click on the icon at left to learn your options for safe HRT that works.
RECOMMENDED READING
Books by a variety of authors guaranteed to give you a wider perspective about hormones
and their essential functions.
ANTI-AGING THERAPY with Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
While hormone replacement therapy is the single best thing that you can do to prevent the
ravages of time from robbing you of your health and quality of life, ALC/ALA is probably
the next most effective anti-aging step you can take. This amino acid/antioxidant
combination is not a substitute for HRT, but it is of nearly equal significance. ALC/ALA
retards the death of renal and hepatic cells as we age. Through a cellular action ALC/ALA
repairs neural pathways damaged from aging, diabetes, injuries and other causes. These
neural repairs reverse and slow the progression of dementia in Alzheimers patients, reduce
cardiac and other risk factors of diabetic neuropathy, and cure erectile dysfunction in
affected men. Click on the icon below to see why old lab mice are sitting up and dancing

Pardon our on-going face-lift.
I am developing a more user friendly design for this web site, and breaking up the
original 3 pages into many smaller indexed pages. (The old format reads like a large
metropolitan telephone directory.) I am also adding a lot of new information and
integrating this Hormone Replacement Site with the Acetyl-l-carnitine/Alpha Lipoic Acid
web site.
This overhaul is going to take awhile to accomplish. So please bear with me and forgive
empty links, blank pages, and grammatical and spelling errors. This site is a work in
progress for the time being, but it WILL get done! (Rome wasn't built in a day!) Thank you
for visiting and hope you find something of use or value here.

MISSION PURPOSE
The purpose of this website is to impart information about menopause and hormone
replacement. You have an ethical right to this information.
If these pages protect even one other menopausal woman from floundering about in the dark
as I did for 10 years with declining health, grasping at shreds of information in an
effort to find out what was wrong with me and how to fix it, then the effort of building
this site will have been worth it.
Recently it has been suggested to me (twice!) that I should try this or that to convince
people to think as I do. Curiously, in both instances, it was a man who made this
suggestion. Maybe it's a guy thing??
While I appreciate the well meant tips on how to get other women to follow my
recommendations for hormone replacement therapy, I want to state for the record that this
is NOT my intent. I have NO desire to make others think (or act) as I do. In health,
politics, philosophy or any other arena of life. Virtually all of society's problems can
be traced to someone or someones' efforts to manipulate the rest of the populace. My most
cherished commodities are physical and mental autonomy, and attempting to rob someone else
of theirs is a foreign (and unethical) concept to me.
My only advice to you, my sisters, is this: think for yourself and do not blindly follow
anyone, including me.
What you decide to do with the information on these pages is your own affair. My aim is to
provide you with information that is not readily forthcoming from the medical community
and to debunk the misinformation that is being spread by the press and the FDA about the
risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy.
Armed with this information you can cure your migraines, backaches, arthritic pain,
restore bone density, healthy vaginal tissues and libido, and ward off serious
debilitating diseases that will otherwise be hovering at your door as a result of hormone
deprivation once your ovaries shut down. Or not. Or partly. But you will be able to make
an informed decision with all the puzzle pieces on the table before you.
