Since bringing up the subject of hormone replacment therapy (HRT) a WP50 reader sent me a comment about her experience with HRT in a different (and less expensive) medium: pellets! Her physician, Dr. Gino Tutera, developed an under-the-skin method to deliver the right level of hormones for your particular chemistry. Here's what Judy from Arizona has to say about her results:
"The pellet therapy is a no-brainer! No guesswork. Your body draws upon the hormones as it needs it, i.e., more under stress, etc. Two yrs. ago, I paid $480 for the 1st consultation & pellets; then $295 every 4 mos. after that. The pellets last 4 to 6 mos. on average... He [Dr. Tutera] checks thyroid, liver, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone & some other things. It brought up my thyroid number & I have a normal body temp for the 1st time ever!
My husband's mood, skin, libido is changed. Dr. T also explained to us that testosterone is very important for the heart which is all muscle & that's why men have muscles. Don't let a conventional doctor tell you you have to be careful with testosterone supplementation in men. They don't know how bio-identicals work. Dr. T says if natural testosterone was bad for the heart, all the 20 yr. old males would be keeling over with heart attacks! When do those problems start in life? When their levels have dropped!
Dr. Tutera trains physicians all over the country. Every time I'm in his office, the airport shuttle is bringing in patients from wherever. Last count, I believe there's about 50 docs he's trained from all over. Amazing that this form of HRT has been in Europe since 1939! Dr. T hasn't had one case of ovarian, endometrial, breast or cervical cancer in 25 yrs. What spurred his interest in hormone replacement was saving pregnancies from low progesterone levels."
