Comments about ‘Hormone therapy may nearly double the risk of lung cancer’

Just The Facts, Please!
Here we go again! Another misleading headline and story with glaring generalizations about hormone therapy. It kills me when people like Dr. Apar Kishor Ganit or Dr. Mark Faries make sweeping "authoritative" statements saying these findings "seriously question whether hormone-replacement therapy has any role in medicine today."
There was no mention in this story that the study used HORSE ESTROGEN and synthetic deviants of human progesterone. You women who are using native, bio-identical human hormones (exactly the way your body makes them) under experienced medical care to improve your lives and bless your relationships: pay no attention to this dribble. It is incredibly irresponsible to apply these findings broadly to all hormone therapy, yet every few months some doctor does just that. It's faulty logic and bad science. Good doctors, how can you say that the study vilifies all "hormone replacement therapy? With all due respect, sirs, the study applies to the compounds that were ingested, namely horse estrogen and medroxyprogesterone, which are foreign to the human body. Period. We're sick of your fear-mongering WHI "conclusions" telling women that even their own hormones are killing them.
