BIG DRUG COMPANIES USING THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY COMPETITION FROM NATURAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPIES!!! Do you remember our newsletter last year detailing how Wyeth Pharmaceuticals was attempting to stop compounding pharmacists from prescribing natural progesterone (diosgenin) after their profits fell by more than 57%  from $2.07 billion in 2003 to $800 million in 2004 (after the WHI study had to be stopped)? Well, now they have gone after centers like ours making complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).  The FTC's position backed by the big pharmaceutical companies is that Dr. John Lee, M.D.'s studies were not scientific and did not rise to the standard of FDA and National Institutes of Health studies, and that our claims about natural progesterone are false, unfair, deceptive, misleading advertising in violation of the law..  (Please read what Dr. Helen Pensanti M.D. has to say about this. Read on to how the study was conducted.)   This is an attempt to force women into taking unsafe proven cancer causing synthetic hormones using your tax dollar to harass natural hormone suppliers. We here at the Women's Menopause Health Center refuse to take away your choice of a healthy alternative to Premarin, Prempro and the other dangerous drugs. We are taking a stand against this heavy handed attempt to destroy competition. We are going to fight for your choice of a healthy way to get through menopause comfortably and safely. (Ed. note: This was from our newsletter last year. The continued harassment by the FTC has caused us to discontinue our wonderful product. DO NOT be forced into taking something that can kill you. You may purchase safe progesterone cream at your local health food store, or find it a lot less expensively on line at places like ebay and yahoo stores.

The problem with synthetic estrogen hormone replacement therapy is that the human body does not have all the necessary mechanisms needed to metabolize these drug medications.

The human female body produces six different estrogens. Three of these estrogen hormones - estradiol, estrone, and estriol - are present in large amounts with estradiol the most potent of the three.

Synthetic estrogen hormone replacement therapy derived from horse urine - as found in Premarin and other estrogen hormone replacement therapy drugs - consists of estrone, equilin, estradiol and two other equine estrogens.

It is believed that equilin, which is not identical to the estrogen the human body makes, is the culprit with liver disease and many other estrogen hormone replacement therapy side effects. While the female body contains the enzymes and cofactors needed to process human estrogen, it has none of the enzymes and cofactors required to metabolize equilin.
