Alternative to Hormone Replacement After 20 Years Possible?

Posted By Nancie (Utah) on 09/11/2021

I am a 71 year old female. I’ve been on hormone replacement for 20 years. Without my hormones I feel I would be totally brain dead. Thoughts? Should I just keep on or is there something else I could do?

Nancie, I had just finished helping (replying on this site) a few people and I read your short sad comment, I know nothing about that subject, but took a few minutes to search

(I will research more tomorrow) and I only found this:

Estrogen only hormone replacement therapy seems to lower breast cancer risk, while combination hormone replacement therapy increases risk according to long-term data from the Women’s health initiative. Google this Nancie: Breastcancer.org Read what they say, tap onto top of page to learn more. I will be back tomorrow, best of luck. Joe

NANCIE,,,,,,,, ORH here and have ATS for you. When my Tractor Driver went into menopause. I had no clue. All I knew was she was nuts and driving me nuts. She initially went to her gynecologist and his NP wet her finger and stuck it up into the air. That's called Ky windage and means you know nothing. The testing included...... how do you feel and little changed. A few years later, I got into anti-aging and the first ever ANTI-AGING doctor moved to Knoxville and she took me on as a patient. The medical establishment came after her with both feet until they learned that Knoxville's movers and shakers were also going to her. The doctor took on my spouse and ran specific hormone tests to see what was needed. That was over 15 years ago and now at 80 has the hormones of a 50 year old. Otherwise, with me in CHF, I would be in a nursing home. When I can't lift something, then she does. After her last appointment, TD asked her AA doctor when would she get off hormone modulation? Doc said ...... when you die. So Nancie, her doctor just answered your question. If it's working, don't fix it. My problem is not hormones. My crushed T 12 messed up my brain talking to my heart. ====ORH====

Hi Nancie, it is 6am Monday, I told you I would get back to you. I found a site that offers 36 alternatives to HRT, I started writing them down, but thought I would tell you to Google this: What are the 36 alternatives to hormone replacement therapy. Once at that site then…. Scroll down to Herbal supplements, try this 36 Alternatives.

There on that site you will find names of things that you may want to Google further and read up until you find what your searching for.

Although HRT is considered a safe & effective way to treat Perimenopause symptoms, it still carries certain Risks. Young lady, I will add this: Conventional/Traditional medicines (Drugs) always have dangerous side effects, they only treat your symptoms and never the cause of your problem(s). Death is a side effect, however once you try herbs, alternative medicines they have primarily no side effects plus they treat your root cause of problems. In my opinion I detest conventional drugs (I don’t refer to them as a medicine) . Please let me know if I was able to help you.

I had a good feeling about you once I read your post, hope I was able to help. Joseph.

Nancie, I don't know what kind of hormone therapy you have been using for 20 years, but I recommend you review this information and schedule an appointment for a free consultation with a Provider near you. I hope this helps you make a decision that is right for YOU:

Hi Nancie..

I feel your worry as I was post menopause by 36..I did use herbs and essential oils for a few years which did assist, something changed and my brain and body went like a 75 yr old I was 40! I use Bio-Identical HR and have been for 17yrs with concern that I may be causing long term damage.

I have listened to a few forward thinking Drs who have given me relief that it's OK to use those types forever, not the synthetic prescribed ones tho.

I have also changed many dietary things and heavy metal detoxes and sauna regularly. I have tried to stop and in 4 weeks my skin looks like an elderly lady my brain does not function but apparently, the inside organs are also aging to that pace well... so I feel they will be life long as a supplement tho not medication for me.

The only thing now is they are quite expensive and I use them all Dhea, Biest, Progest and Testosterone... but for my health and sanity so be it.

Blessings on your hormone path it is like a rabbit hole.

I am using bio identical progesterone cream made from Yam since I became menopause at the age of 56 and I am 70 yrs old now. Buy it online in I...b.

three weeks in a month and rest for one week. Read Dr Lee’s book.

What Your Doctor Will Not Tell you about menopause.

iI consulted a Medical ob-gyn doctor but becomes natural medicines. She was not government subsidized, so quite expensive.

She was amazed that I came to know these things and save money. Try it. You will be young again

love elsa

I'm 74 looking for same thing. Book Bio Young by R. Dillion has hormonal advice to get younger. Mainly I take herbs for Estrogen and skin Alma, Gotu kola,
Fenugreek, rosemary, fennel also primrose, Co Q10, Boron, folic acid, vitamin e, gelatin+ there is lots more. If you are low on estrogen your urine flow is very slow. Lots more you can take (foods) but I have autoimmune and have to be careful what I eat. From eating very healthy my brain fog is gone, IBS gone. Tried pellets but had heavy bleeding in my late 60s. Still studying what to take Ginseng, Maca not sure…
