Synopsis

In Unavoidably Dangerous, Dr. Eisenstein bring his knowledge as a physician, public health doctor and attorney to help educate you on this very important subject. More than 20,000,000 women take some form of synthetic HRT (hormone replacement therapy) risking increased breast cancer, ovarian cancer, stroke, blood clots, and no reduction in heart disease, gallbladder disease and atherosclerosis.

Does this mean that women must suffer with pre and menopausal symptoms? No, many women have no menopausal symptoms and they will do fine without any hormonal treatment. Some women will do fine with lifestyle changes, i.e. low carbohydrate diet, exercise, etc. Over 90% of women, will greatly benefit from a simple, safe (bio-identical) product - natural progesterone cream. In Unavoidably Dangerous Dr. Eisenstein will bring you the scientific evidence linking estrogen and breast cancer. He will explain the confusing medical language of hormone replacement therapy.

In the months and the years to follow drug companies will come out with newer and better (sic) synthetic HRT drugs. Advertising that they are safer than the old ones. The market is huge, more than 20,000,000 women currently are taking synthetic HRT and the number of women becoming menopausal is growing at the rate of approximately 2,000,000 per year.

The newer SERMs (designer estrogens) and synthetic HRTs will promise you relief from multiple problems without any of the side effects of the previous estrogen drugs. Please view this in light of my favorite saying, drug companies do not let go of one drug until they find a more dangerous and profitable one to replace it.
