Re: Suzanne Somers' reply to the NEWSWEEK article Jun 8, 2009

The articles like the one attacking Suzanne Sommers are the reason my free cioies of Newsweek always go straight from the mailboxx to the recycling bin.

Before I did my homework on bio-identical hormones I was a mess as menopause totally changed the way my body felt and functioned. The tiny doses of even bio identical estrogen that most doctors give may alleviate most hot flashes. But, that is just one part of the very negative changes I experienced. I now use a modified version of the Wiley Peotocol. My progressive MD uses it and recommends it as well. Before I got on the hormones I gained more weight than I ever had. I ached all over for no discernible reason. The stuff was a miracle for me. It normalized all of my symptoms, I lost the weight and felt normal again. What makes bio-identicals different than prempro and premarin is that the molecule is identical to what our bodies provide. The horse urine based estrogen is not. But doctors continue to use the big highly flawed WHO study using these poisons as a justification for the "dangers" inBHRT. I appreciare Suzanne Sommers for her extensive work in interviewing many doctors and learning the truth for herself.

Most of her books are not just her uninformed crazy ideas, they are well imformed, and she interviews many good doctors to keep learning all the time. There are dialogs with many progressive doctors, I think the Medical establishment feels threatened that a non-MD has the audacity to make it a mission to help get the truth out. A truth that old school doctors want to dismiss. But, people have too many tools in their hands now to be satisfied with substandard, 5 minute visits with doctors who prescribe what they have always prescribed for every symptom. The underlying cause of a patients symptoms is usually a guess, it is pretty pitiful. But, the wonderful progressive variety of MD's is increasing, so hopefully the old paradigm will disappear as knowledge spreads.
