You may have caught a media piece over the last day or two on a follow up to the Women’s Health Initiative study where they found that women taking the combination drug Prempro® (equine horse estrogens and progestin) had an increased chance of breast cancer, blood clots and other health issues.
This follow up has re-affirmed that by taking the combination drug Prempro® that women not only have an increased risk of breast cancer, but other cancers as well.
…Although once again the media does a very good job about confusing the public.
In every report we have found, over the internet and T.V., they have said that it’s the combination of estrogen and progesterone, which is a major misstatement of facts.
As mentioned above, the medication used to treat symptoms of menopause was Prempro®. Prempro contains estrogen from pregnant horses – not estrogen that is bio-identical to humans. Prempro® does not contain progesterone; it contains a synthetic chemical known as a progestin, called medroxyprogesterone. This chemical has proven time and time again not to act as natural progesterone does in the human body.
