I have been following a very safe and highly monitored use of HRT for over eight years and feel it has provided a wonderful, healthy lifestyle. At 50 years of age, I started experiencing menopause symptoms and suffered with those more than 10 years. After having a bone scan, I was told I had osteopenia. My mother had breast cancer with a double mastectomy in her late 50's, and later died of heart disease at 79. Not wanting to take synthetic drugs for osteoporosis, I sought help from an "alternatives MD" who introduced me to cBHT. I see her faithfully two times a year and get my blood drawn/tested for my hormone levels every three months. My health is excellent, my body and bones are healthy and strong and you would never guess I am 72 years old! PLEASE do NOT restrict cBHT! I love them and want to continue with these for as long as possible!
