Facts about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)


Corrupted science:   "HRT has been directly responsible for the deaths of 30,000 women in the UK,
and around 200,000 in the USA, since the early 1990s."

"HRT researcher recruited by drug company, US Congress told"

"....An influential study that led UK regulators to relax their opposition to HRT (hormone
replacement  therapy) was written by a researcher who did not reveal she had been recruited
by a major HRT manufacturer to 'author' an article extolling hormone treatment*."

* ".....documents show, Dr. Lila E. Nachtigall, a New York University professor and director
of its Women’s Wellness Center, was recruited by Wyeth as author of a 1999 journal article
extolling hormone treatment after the manuscript had already been drafted.

"Drug companies lied to women about HRT risks for nine years"
"After tracking the health of 16,608 post-menopausal women for nearly eight years, the researchers
found that the combined estrogen plus progestin HRT therapy dramatically increased the breast
cancer risk.  Contrary to the drug companies' claims, the cancers were aggressive, and
doubled the numbers who died from the disease compared to healthy controls.

"HRT: The danger drug that wasn't, then was again"
"...Overall, HRT increases the risk of ovarian cancer by 20 per cent, the researchers found,
and a woman who takes HRT has a 63 per cent greater risk of developing either ovarian,
breast or endometrial cancer.
This tallies with the earlier finding that HRT has been directly responsible for the deaths
of 30,000 women in the UK, and around 200,000 in the USA, since the early 1990s."
