Bioidentical Hormones:Why Are They Still Controversial?

In CategoryCancer, Women's Health
ByRuss Bianchi

There is NO SUCH THING as “bio-idenitical”, this is a made-up marketing term from Big Pharma drug pushers, seeking to make you sick, or harm you; see the attached article.

This blog previously also documented “that a baby aspirin per day” DOES NOT help heart and circulatory health, and actually harms and weakens the liver and kidneys (to sell statins and other harmful drugs).

Like harmful antidepressants, ask yourself a simple question; how come no one was on hormonal drugs only a few decades ago.

These unnecessary drugs harm, hinder, hook and do NOT help users, for REVENUE and PROFIT.

Read THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DRUG COMPANIES by Dr. Marcia Angell, MD, recently retired Editor and Chief of The New England Journal Of Medicine.

The increased risk of uterine cancer in users of non-bioidentical estrogen is well-established in the scientific literature.

Husband of Obese Woman Blames Airlines For Her Death While on European Vacation

ByRuss Bianchi

I am not exactly known for any bed side manner (note extreme sarcasm for “The Sledgehammer”).

Unfortunately for the deceased, no one had exposed her to the highly efficacious Zija Weight Loss System that could have permanently helped.

I believe if you are morbidly obese, you must pay for the number of seats (and extra weight displacement just like extra weight of bags) on any airplane, as you are going to take up more space and more fuel. At least this IS the policy at Southwest Airlines.

As for the lawyer suing, in the article, I believe the punishment should fit the crime… after the lawyer is disbarred, for a frivolous law suit, he should be sentenced to ten years of community service, in common sense weekly classes, teaching The Golden Rule to other fools, crooks, politicians, member of Congress, and lawyers (but I repeat myself).

Oh, the lawyer might want to become a Zija Independent Distributor also, so this “weighty issue” is resolved non adversarial.

Why is there such a pandemic of breast cancers and removals in the first place? FOLLOW THE MONEY. It’s revenue for cutters and drug companies and phony lobbying groups stealing money for research, or a “CURE”, with pink ribbons (that never comes).

There is a strongly supported hypothesis (with books written on the subject, and linked in the technical reading section of this web site) that up to 78% of all breast cancers are the direct or indirect result of ill fitting bras (constriction blood flow and therefore harming telomere chromosomal integrity leading to metastization) as well as known carcinogens in food or beverage intake.

Silicon and Saline implants are TEMPORARY (they didn’t tell you that?) and are also linked with secondary infections and cancer, up to and including death.

Want perky breasts restored (cup size of your choice and not gravity challenged)? No problem, there are one day out patients techniques, now, to liposuction fat cells from your own stomach (local anesthetic) , autoclave that fat tissue, centrifuge it, get huge yields in your own adult stem cells (no reject factor), re-inject the purified adult stem cells to the harmed chest area, and regrow healthy breasts, for less than twenty grand a pair.

Summary: In a study involving data collected from 2,524 adults in the United States, between the ages of 20 and 85 years, elevated depressive symptoms were found to be inversely associated with folate status, especially among women (fully adjusted odds ratio = 0.37), while no significant associations were found for vitamin B12 or tHcy. Among subjects aged 50 years or older, tHcy was positively associated with elevated depressive symptoms (fully adjusted odds ratio = 3.01). The authors conclude, “Future interventions to improve mental health outcomes among U.S. adults should take into account dietary and other factors that would increase levels of serum folate.”
