Hormone Replacement Therapy Drugs Double Breast Cancer Risk
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, December 15, 2008
New research reveals that Hormone Replacement Therapy drugs double the risk of breast cancer. Quitting the use of HRT drugs causes the increased risk of breast cancer to rapidly vanish.
These are the findings of a new study that's making waves across the health industry today, but the drug companies are fighting back:
• They have been caught engaging in dishonest authorship (ghost writing) of medical journal articles pushing HRT drugs.
• They petitioned the FDA to destroy the bio-identical hormone market by threatening compounding pharmacies.
• They deny the conclusive research on the link between breast cancer and their HRT drugs, claiming their drugs are a "good healthcare option for women."
But the truth about HRT drugs can no longer be suppressed. The cancer risk is real, and the fraudulent nature of Big Pharma's HRT drug pushing is finally coming to light.
Read the full details in today's NaturalNews feature article, which discusses the details of this new study on HRT drugs and reveals the depth of fraud and deception practiced by Big Pharma today.

Women, beware! You are being lied to (again) by Big Pharma and the FDA. If you continue to take HRT drugs, you may be putting your life at risk.Click to read: HRT Drug Warning: Hormone Replacement Therapy Drugs Double Breast Cancer Risk

Wyeth Paid Ghost Writers to Author Favorable Medical Journal Articles on its HRT Drugs
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, December 14, 2008
The financial collusion between Big Pharma and medical journals is even deeper and more intertwined than we suspected. Documents revealed by Sen. Charles Grassley's office show that the drug company Wyeth paid ghost writers to author medical journal articles hyping up the benefits of its HRT drug Prempro.
Sen. Grassley's office produced "dozens of pages" of internal documents showing the collusion between Wyeth and a firm called DesignWrite that earns money by producing what it calls "educational" content.
The New York Times is reporting (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/13/busin...) that one such article was published as an "Editor's Choice" feature in the May, 2003 edition of The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. That article claimed there was no link between Wyeth's drug and breast cancer, even though a federal study called the Women's Health Initiative had just concluded that, in fact, Prempro was linked to breast cancer.
Here's how the ghostwriting scam worked:
1) Drug companies would invent the titles of the articles to write and choose the medical journals in which they wanted them to appear.
2) They would draft outlines of the articles and hire a writer to create the manuscript.
3) They would then recruit a well-known academic author to put their name on the final article. This would intentionally mislead the medical journal into thinking the article was authored by an academic, not Big Pharma.
4) Finally, they would get the study pushed to a medical journal, which would publish the study.
5) During all of this, the drug company would never reveal its role in this process, keeping it secret from both the medical journal and the public.
6) Once the article is published, doctors and other members of the medical community would read it and think they were reading a, independent, scientifically-validated article that just happened to reach favorable conclusions about Big Pharma's drugs. They would never know the whole thing was schemed up by Big Pharma in the first place.Evidence-based medicine? I'm laughing so hard it hurts...
This is now the standard of "evidence-based medicine" in our modern medical system: Ghostwritten articles, funded by the drug companies, placed into medical journals where those same companies run full-page ads touting the over-hyped benefits of the same drugs covered in the articles. Do you smell a scam?
Truth is, this practice has been going on for so long that thousands of "scientific" articles published in the medical journals have likely been authored by the drug companies themselves. If the true facts about the depth of this scientific fraud were to really come out, the medical journals would likely be revealed as gullible publishers of junk science. This is a huge scandal waiting to be uncovered...
As things stand now, nobody knows which studies were actually written by the drug companies, and the drug companies aren't talking. Neither are the medical journals. They don't want people to look into this too much, for fear of being exposed as the frauds they really are.
As it turns out, for many medical journals, the articles are the ads! They might as well just publish press releases and call them scientific fact, huh?
So much for the credibility of the medical journals (as if they had much remaining anyway). They've been duped... suc***ed into printing articles that were actually dreamed up and promoted by Big Pharma.
And the medical community has been suc***ed into believing medical journals are "scientific." As it turns out, many are no more scientific than the over-hyped claims of a television commercial! They're just framed in scientific-sounding language, which is really convincing to gullible medical professionals who believe everything they read in the medical journals, even though they're just propaganda pieces for Big Pharma.
I think the medical journals should be re-categorized in med school libraries. They should be placed under the "fiction" heading where they belong. - Re: Hormone Replacement Therapy Doub... cora

This is a reply to # 1,316,924Nope.
"Notably, these increased cancer risk findings only apply to synthetic HRT drugs produced by Big Pharma. They do not apply to bio-identical hormones offered by compounding pharmacies and naturopathic physicians."

This is a reply to # 1,316,926I disagree. If they are going to claim that the hormones are "bioidentical" then they have to admit that they have the same effects on the body as natural hormones. And it has been proven that our own hormones can contribute to cancer.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind:
-Most pharmaceutical synthetic hormones are made from plant sterols, just like the "bioidentical hormones".
-The term "bioidentical" is very misleading. Just because a compound has the same type and number of atoms does not mean it is identical. For example glucose, fructose, and galactose are all C6H12O6, but are all different sugars. There is no way for the manufacturers to confirm that every atom is in the same position and that all bond angles are exactly the same.
-Terms like "natural progesterone" are misleading. All commercial progesterone is synthesized in a lab. They have not had natural progesterone on the market since around the 1940s.
-Exogenous hormones whether natural or synthetic will atrophy the glands that normally produce those hormones. It is safer to support the glands that naturally produce the hormones.
-These hormones build up in the fat tissues of the body, which can lead to serious problems in the long run.
I once had a lady come to me with estrogen levels off the chart. Come to find out that she was not only taking bioidentical hormones but also DHEA, which was also raising her hormone levels. Great example of how people get in to trouble by fooling with their hormones without understanding how they are formed or work.

This is a reply to # 1,316,987You are quite right - it is safer to support the glands that naturally produce the hormones, and that is what I would try to do if I were a female. That may not always work and in any event may not always be the path chosen.
You are also correct in stating that the term bio-identical can be misleading. However, given the choice I would rather have a naturally derived molecule that is bio-identical than one that is a synthetic patented molecule that is deliberately not bio-identical. I would rather imagine that the process used in drug company labs to deliberately create non-bioidentical synthetic patentable molecules is a bit more "scientifically" complex than the relatively simple methods commonly used method to convert a compound found in the wild yam to bio-identical progesterone. Only natural progesterone is so-called "bio-identical" to the human hormone progesterone. All other progestins, known as synthetic progestins, have altered molecules, which makes them patentable.
Patented drug forms of HRT may start off with natural sources, but what they end up with is a product that is distinctly unnatural, unless one would believe that the list of ingredients in Premarin® below, such as polyethelene glycol and dyes are natural(and I grant you that some of the listed compounds may be present in both products) .
If a person was determined to use an HRT product, which do you think would likely be the safest:
Premarin®
Premarin® (conjugated estrogens tablets, USP) for oral administration contains a mixture of conjugated estrogens obtained exclusively from natural sources, occurring as the sodium salts of water-soluble estrogen sulfates blended to represent the average composition of material derived from pregnant mares' urine.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,317,313Both pharmaceutical progesterone and "bio-identical (boy I hate that misleading term) progesterone are the SAME EXACT USP PROGESTERONE. They are both made from plant sterols, and both are synthetic. The primary difference is concentration. The FDA does not allow as high of levels of this synthetic progesterone in the stuff sold without a prescription. See these pharmaceutical progesterones. Note they are also USP progesterone:
http://www.rxlist.com/prometrium-drug.htm
http://www.rxlist.com/endometrin-drug.htm
And they were patented at one time, but the patent has expired.
As far as Premarin compared to progesterone, this is like comparing apples to oranges. Premarin is estrogen, not progesterone. They are two completely different hormones. And the other ingredients listed like polyethlylene glycol, also found in ice cream and many other products, these are used to make the actual tablet, not the drug.
By the way, for those not familiar with Premarin, the name comes from its source: PREgnant MARes urINe. So as far as this goes I would prefer to go with a plant source of hormones than to go for a drink at the stables.
So there is no real difference between the pharmaceutical and over the counter progesterones other than concentration. And both are dangerous, especially when people are not being told how to use them right. They are not being told that the hormones build up in the tissues, that they can atrophy the glands, that they can develop progesterone dominance problems, and that progesterone activates the cancer virus HPV. So which one is safer? Neither, I will stick to herbs the way Nature intended them to be used!!!

This is a reply to # 1,316,987I'm not an expert on the subject but read alot about hormones and menopause. Synthetic hormones are made from the pregnant horse's urine and by now that's no secret that it causes cancer; but the Bioidentical Natural Hormone Pellets are made from plants. Also, it is important that we know that we in fact need hormones in order to stay alive. It has also been proven that our bodies start losing the good hormone Progesterone making us feel terrible, many different symptoms, and that by taking Progesterone (the natural kind), will reduce high levels of estrogen, in that by taking Progesterone it will even up the ratio between those 2 hormones. Read Dr. John Lee's book on "What your doctor won't tell you about PreMenopause" and "Menopause" for better explanation. I personally can tell you that in my diagnostic test, after using the Natural Progesterone cream on my breasts for a year, my gynecologist freaked out, literally, of how was amazed she was with the results, she told me that she has NEVER, EVER, in her experience of practicing medicine has seen these high percentages of wellness. I don't remember the test name, but I think it was done with a blood test at her office. But if everyone needs to confirm that, her name is Dr. Michelle Starsky, in Florida.
We must read, get educated, it's our health and wellbeing.

This is a reply to # 1,316,918there have been lots of studies since the early part of the decade, when HRT was really hot, and the consensus in the big bad western medical arena is that HRT with estrogen alone leads to increased risk of uterine cancer, combo therapy with progesterone and estrogen leads to higher risk of invasive breast CA and stroke, and a higher risk of clots
in essence the only good thing HRT is good for is effective symptomatic relief for menopausal symptoms , which for some women is worth it, and recommendations are not to exceed treatment past 5 years
also, a lot of the studies included women who were smokers, which increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, breast cancer
ironically, smoking seems to reduce the risk of uterine Cancer
the recommendations are pretty much that in otherwise healthy women, HRT can be used, but not over 5 years, and that you should definitely consider risk vs benefit if there are other medical conditions present
