CONSIDER HORMONE PELLETS!
Turtle Healing Band Clinic "(THBC") recommends patients consider using hormone pellets for replacement therapy. Subcutaneous pellets placed under the skin have been used to treat hormone imbalance since the 1930s. Research has consistently shown that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is superior method to deliver hormones in both men and women. These bioidentical hormone pellets are larger than a grain of rice but smaller than a Tic Tac. During a sterile procedure the THBC practitioner applies a local anesthetic, makes a small incision, then inserts the pellets into fatty tissue under the skin in the flank or upper buttocks and the incision is then closed without any need for stitches. As we age, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone naturally decline over time. Around age 35, men experience a gradual reduction in testosterone (e.g., 2-10 percent per year). For women, pre-menopause can start as early as in their 30s. Hormone optimization may play a key role in preventing diseases such as osteoporosis, heart problems, Alzheimer’s, certain cancers, and more. On average, pellet implants last 5-6 months in men and 4-5 months in women. For more information, or to request a "Hormone Pellet Therapy" handout, email: thbclinics@gmail.com or call (702) 562-1454.
