Searching for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHT) has been going on for years but most people know little about it.  In Buffalo NY specifically, there is not a huge assortment of holistic doctors to choose from for women looking for a natural approach to BHT.  Dr. John Lee, MD is considered one of the foremost experts for hormone replacements.  I highly suggest reading some of his articles or consider buying a book of his to read his approach that has successfully helped thousands of women.   One of his books is called Hormone Balance Made Simple.  It’s a great read

He has 3 main rules for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Rule 1. Give hormones only to those who are truly deficient in them.

That means you have to assess, don’t guess.  You can’t just expect your doctor to know what is going on without some type of testing.  Our DNA Uprint was developed for this reason.  Dr. Lee states that conventional physicians routinely prescribe estrogen or other sex hormones without ever testing for hormone deficiency.  How are you really suppose to know what is going on without testing?

Rule 2. Use bioidentical hormones rather than synthetic hormones.

Dr. Lee states the facts, “Pharmaceutical companies prefer synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormones (not found in nature) can be patented, whereas real (natural, bioidentical) hormones can not. Patented drugs are more profitable than non-patented drugs. Sex hormone prescription sales have made billions of dollars for pharmaceutical companies. Thus is women’s health sacrificed for commercial profit?”

Rule 3. Use only in dosages that provide normal physiologic tissue levels.

You have to use some type of testing to know when tissue saturation has occurred.  This is not evident in blood work.  If you are looking for some help when dealing with hormone symptoms, we would be happy to be a resource for you, 716.773.4707.
