Suzanne Somers will be in Toronto

Anti Aging Naturally - Suzanne Somers

Suzanne Somers is to speak about BIO-IDENTICAL Hormones in Toronto. If you are lucky enough to live in or around the Toronto area, Suzanne Somers will be doing a presentation on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) on October 29, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre at 255 Front Streets, West, between Simcoe and John Streets.

Suzanne will also be discussing information she obtained while interviewing some of the top doctors worldwide for her new book “Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It In The First Place”. In this very sensible book, she explains why the $200 billion dollar cancer industry is harming rather than helping the people they look after. The book consists of interviews with cutting edge doctors who are changing the face of treatment of cancer without surgery or poisons for their patients.

Suzanne is a best selling author of many books, including books pm natural anti aging, dieting with her Somersize program, natural bioidentical hormones and the treatment of menopause, and cooking. Coming from a difficult childhood and becoming an actress, a performer, surviving breast cancer, promoting bioidentical hormones in North America and eventually becoming a successful writer and an almost one-woman industry, she is definitely someone to watch and listen to. Suzanne is a successful business woman and human being who shows that surviving and thriving is possible, even with many cards stacked against you.

If you are suffering from cancer or know someone who is, this is one show you don’t want to miss. If you are in premenopause or menopause and still don’t know about the natural hormones available to you for treating the symptoms of menopause, this presentation is for you. If you are seeking natural anti aging remedies, Suzanne is the guru. If you are curious about bioidentical hormones and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, don’t miss it!

Susanne is presented by TruBalance Healthcare Inc.

Her latest book can be purchased at your local bookstore or at the presentation or you can purchase it here, online, at Amazon.

A Horrific Prescription for Menopause

A friend of mine believing she had finally reached menopause because of frequently occurring hot flashes that were driving her nuts, made an appointment at her doctor. The doctor set her up to have a hormone panel done. With the positive results of the tests, her suspicions were confirmed, she had indeed reached menopause.

Before we go any further in this article, let me tell you a little about my friend. She is a very joyful woman, is very happily married, has two wonderful kids and a great attitude towards life. Enough about my friend.

Let me tell you her horror story.

So she went to her doctor to discuss her hormone panel results and, after enough reading the research, she decided she wanted to get bioidentical hormones. Her doctor refused and told her they don’t work. What her doctor prescribed for her was a rather horrific solution for menopause. Her doctor prescribed Premarin (pregnant horse’s urine), a D&C and anti-depressants.

Horrified, my friend left the doctor’s office.

We are asking, why would a doctor prescribe anti-depressants to a happy woman? Anti-depressants cause among other side effects: suicidal thoughts, dry eyes and dry vagina. My happy girlfriend said the last thing she wanted was a dry vagina and suicidal thoughts.

We ask also, why would a doctor prescribe a D&C?

The problem overall is that very few doctors understand menopause. Not many doctors stay up to date with the latest findings on menopause and other research. Many ordinary people believe that most doctors finish their Med school and that’s it. This particular doctor is in her late 50s, so this doctor would have completed her training about 20 to 25 years ago.

A further problem is that there is not the money to do more research into bioidentical hormones. A further problem is that the all-powerful pharmaceutical companies have seen their profits decline because of the latest negative research on traditional HRT (chemical hormone replacement theory) and would not profit from BHRT because its mixtures cannot be patented. One pharmaceutical giant has even launched legal action against the makers of compounded bioidentical hormones.

So, millions of women in North America and Europe do their own research, find a compounding pharmacy and find a doctor capable of prescribing and monitoring their hormones with BHRT to treat their symptoms of menopause. It’s time that governments do the official research. Women are rebelling.
