BioIdentical vs. HRT

The real advantage of bioidentical hormones compared to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is that it has moved away from the "one size fits all approach". Also many practitioners claim that if the hormones are bioidentical, they will be safe. It sounds nice, but there are no long-term-studies which can prove this. However, short-term use of hormones, bioidentical or not, seems to be relatively safe.

In fact, the medical establishment is becoming increasingly interested in alternative medicine since ovarian and breast cancer as well as heart disease, blood clots and strokes risks have been associated with conventional HRT treatment.

However, only hormones that are produced in your own body are the most beneficial and safest ones for getting hormonal balance.

Alternative Treatments to Hormone Therapy:

Three levels of approaches can be considered for balancing hormonal levels:
(1) lifestyle changes , (2) alternative medicine and (3) drugs and surgery.

The safest way is to start with the least risky approach and go on to the next level only if it is necessary. Click here to read more about these excellent hormonal imbalance treatments.
