🎉 A Triumph for Women’s medicine!
After over twenty years of safely prescribing women’s hormone therapies, I am thrilled to share a major vindication for estrogen therapy: The Black Box Warning is finally being removed! For years, conventional medicine propagated the unfounded fear that estrogen causes breast cancer, largely stemming from misinterpretations of the initial WHI data. This fear created one of the biggest travesties in modern medicine, resulting in millions of women being denied hormone therapy. As a Naturopathic Doctor I've seen firsthand how the benefits of expert hormone therapy far outweigh the risks. For experienced, evidence-based prescribing, come and see Dr. Carolyn Weisswasser ND.
The FDA is reversing a 2003 decision that put a stringent warning on hormone therapy products for menopausal women, saying that the treatments offer heart, brain, and bone health benefits.
