Conventional Hormone Therapy Questioned

In June of 2002, big news broke on the safety of hormone replacement therapy (hrt). Treatment that has been recommended for decades through the conventional medical system was found to correlate with increased incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Whether you've been using hrt or you are nearing the time to consider it, this news changes your options substantially. For many years at Greenspan Good Health Center (GGHC), we have diagnosed many women to be intolerant to hormones or hormone treatments. The GGHC health care services have addressed these safety issues for over 16 years!

Now, the importance of safe hrt has been recognized in the larger medical community. What is the best type of hormonal support for women (and men) in light of this news and the long time it took to be realized? Is it just a matter of finding a new type of hrt? Partly. At GGHC, we offer bio-identical safe hrt to the people who need it.

We also offer a variety of ways to help your body become more "hormone friendly". When hormones perform their needed purpose and then politely leave your body, cancer and disease risk is reduced. This is more important than just using the right hrt.

If you have questions or concerns about hrt, please call our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Greenspan or one of his trained associates. This is a very personal issue and we prefer to give you one to one attention. Our expertise of over 16 years in natural hormone therapy can make all the difference for your long-term health.
