How
Bio-identical Hormones Can Help with Menopausal Symptoms
by Lise Cloutier-Steele

U.S. National Health Institutes pulled the plug on their largest study of conventional
hormone replacement therapy (HRT) last year, the media have issued countless reports on

once used by doctors as selling points to get women to fill their prescriptions. Another
claim was that the conventional HRT could alleviate the discomfort of severe flushing and

by Debbie DeAngelo

and women's health educator Debbie DeAngelo experienced menopause herself at 26, after
ovarian cancer forced her to have both her ovaries removed. Debbie addresses the issue of
what faces women who face menopause unexpectedly fromvarious reasons including
hysterectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, medication, anorexia or other unusual causes. She
offers guidance on the emotional and cognitive difficulties (short-term memory loss), as

HotFlash FAQ:
HotFlashes and Breast
Cancer
What if you
can't take estrogen?
 For women with breast
cancer with hotflashes, taking estrogen is not an acceptable form of therapy, because it
can make the cancer worse. Loprinzi has found Effexor to be the best non-hormonal therapy
for women with hot flashes and breast cancer. Not only did the participants in the
