What are Biomimetic Hormones?

You may have come across the terms “Biomimetic Hormones” or “using bioidentical hormones biomimetically” in your reading on the subjects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) , menopause, perimenopause, andropause, etc., and wondered what exactly this means.  Is the word “biomimetic” related to the word bioidentical?  Most definitely these words are related.  The following will explain more clearly the term “biomimetic hormones” and “biomimetic hormone replacement therapy”.

So what are biomimetic hormones?

Biomimetic hormones are natural bioidentical hormones used as hormone replacement therapy in a manner or “protocol” created by T.S. Wiley of Wiley Systems, Inc.  This protocol is known as “The Wiley Protocol”.

The Wiley Protocol is a natural bioidentical hormone therapy which restores declining hormone levels in a manner which more closely imitates the natural rise and fall of hormones in the body of a woman during the month.  Biomimetic hormone replacement uses the bioidentical hormones progesterone and estradiol and differs from the static dosing of bioidentical hormones in that the dosing more naturally replicates the 28 day cycle of the rise and fall of hormones.  Women using this “protocol” report an increased feeling of wellbeing, an end to hot flashes, greater quality of sleep, feel more energetic, happier and less moody.

Doctors who prescribe the Wiley Protocol and compounding pharmacists who fill prescriptions for women and men have all been certified and are qualified to provide the Wiley Protocol to their patients. The difficulty in obtaining the Wiley Protocol could be finding a doctor in Canada who is qualified in this system.  Currently, it is difficult for many, many women in Canada to even find a doctor who will prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.  There are some provinces in the country which do not even have a doctor to prescribe natural bioidentical hormones in the static dosing method. Hopefully, this scenario will change soon. Millions of baby boomer women are now in peri-menopause or menopause and need to find solutions to the symptoms they are suffering.  Some women are forced to travel to the United States to get the help they need and obtain natural bioidentical hormones.

Who is T.S. Wiley?

T.S. Wiley, the creator of the Wiley Protocol is the author of two books, “Sex, Lies & Menopause” and “Lights Out:  Sleep, Sugar and survival.”  She is also a researcher and lecturer on hormones and menopause and a medical theorist in environmental endocrinology and Darwinian medicine. She devised the Wiley Protocol which mimics the rise and fall of hormones using bioidentical hormones made from plant extracts after 12 years of research.

Dr. Ellen Grant and Lynne McTaggart Launch Attack Against Progesterone

Published by under Hormones,Progesterone

A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE HOPKINS HEALTH WATCH

Dr. Ellen Grant, Lynne McTaggart and WDDTY Newsletter Launch Muddled Personal Attack on Dr. John Lee and on Natural Progesterone

Dr. John Lee and Dr. Ellen Grant had a longstanding disagreement about natural progesterone and its effects, but until recently it was a heated debate between physicians. Now Dr. Grant and Lynne McTaggart have launched a personal attack against Dr. Lee in the newsletter What Doctors Don’t Tell You (WDDTY). Dr. Grant’s article about progesterone and breast cancer, titled “Cancer in a Cream?” sounds convincing on the surface, but in truth it’s hopelessly muddled and riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies.

Dr. Lee greatly admired the early and pioneering work Dr. Grant did exposing the first birth control pills as dangerous, and he felt she had been instrumental in galvanizing drug companies to create safer oral contraceptives, probably saving thousands of lives in the process. He expressed that admiration, both to her personally and in his talks and books. The fact that Dr. Grant is now attacking someone who isn’t here to defend himself speaks volumes, but there are many of us who are here to defend Dr. Lee and set the record straight. Read further…

PROGESTERONE:

Progesterone is produced in the adrenal glands of both men and women, and in the ovaries of women and the testicles of men. This hormone is responsible for sustaining a pregnancy(known as the “pregnancy hormone”, regulating the menstrual cycle, stimulating bone producing cells, protecting the body against nerve cell damage, and promoting energy production in the brain. As women and men approach their forties, progesterone levels decline and often in women, this comes hand in hand with symptoms of estrogen dominance. Read more…
