Debunking Hormone Myths
Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Natural?
True enough, BHRT is not “natural”, however the actual molecular structure of the hormones used in BHRT is identical to the molecule that exists naturally. The body recognizes this molecule as the natural one and uses it just as it would the molecule made in the body.
Hormones Cause Cancer
On the contrary, there is no evidence that biologically identical hormones can cause any harm, including risks of cancer. In fact, balanced hormones help one to live longer, healthier, and a more energetic life.
BHRT Has Not Been Sufficiently Researched
The truth is, there are so many medical articles that pertain to and support the use of BHRT. These studies usually conclude that BHRT’s are effective in reducing a person’s risk for a variety of illnesses.
