Recently I wrote an article about how the drug companies, with support from the FDA, continue to promote the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) despite scientific evidence that these synthetic hormones are molecular poisons for the women using them!

It makes my blood boil that these groups continue to promote deceptive information and also are lobbying to take away your freedom to choose a natural approach to health and healing.

Since 2005 governmental wolfhounds have been demanding that websites promoting the use of natural progesterone cream and other natural hormones close down.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it may be illegal for websites promoting products to say they can prevent or treat cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis or other health conditions.

Big pharma is threatened by informed women who no longer buy half-truths about the safety of synthetic hormones.  Additionally, supporting the pharmaceutical industry, Steven Galson, drug chief of the FDA said, “Hormones are hormones are hormones.  The same risks apply to compounded ones as apply to FDA approved ones.”. “Our position is these pharmacies are taking advantage of women, preying on their fears of menopause.”

These statements are insulting to women.  It is like comparing an artificial apple to a real apple.  The language is an attempt to divert from the real issue.  Paying attention to language is instructive when discerning truth from myth.

Big pharma has been preying on women for the past 50 years by classifying every imaginable symptom into a disease so as to label women diseased, paving the way for new drugs. 

Women are no longer buying these lies.  The FTC, FDA and other governmental agencies are losing power over women and are trying to control them through threats and legislative measures.  They are chasing down and censoring educational information that helps inform women of their choices. 

Scientific evidence is clear.  Synthetic hormones cause more risk than benefit. They increase risk for cancer, dementia, stroke, heart disease and other debilitating conditions.  Benefits of natural hormones, progesterone in particular, also has the support of scientific evidence.  Women’s health outcomes have improved dramatically with the use of natural hormones that replicate what their bodies produce.  They are safe and protect women from chronic illnesses and diseases.  This is a fact!

The information/myth war in medicine is escalating.  Illness and disease generates huge profits in this country and as women become healthier, their demand for healthcare and drugs decreases.  This is a major threat to the drug companies and medicine.
