Studies That Show the Safety and Efficacy of BHRT

As you have read in this book, there is considerable misinformation as to the safety of hormone replacement. Clearly, as has been established in this book, those safety concerns are about synthetic fake hormone replacement. This can be verified by reading the Women’s Health Initiative (visit
www.nhlbi.nih.gov
).

I wanted to share a few other studies and papers on the efficacy, safety, and health-restoring benefits of replacing hormones correctly with BHRT.
