As we age, especially after age 35 years, many hormone levels in the body decline. Hormones are chemical messengers that run the body. When hormone levels decline, this leads to less efficiency. Less efficiency leads to declining function. Declining function can eventually lead to change in form and function, which can result in degeneration, disease, aging, and breakdown. Many women decide to restore the sexual hormone estrogen, when they find their estrogen levels are declining.

Estrogen is a vital hormone, especially for women. As the levels of estrogen decline, many degenerative conditions are associated with the loss of estrogen levels. Some of these conditions are considered to be osteoporosis, heart conditions, cancer, and many other degenerative conditions. So often modern medical science recommends women to consider restoring estrogen levels back to lower, youthful, optimal levels by hormone replacement therapy.

However very few women will consider doing estrogen replacement therapy and almost all who start estrogen replacement stop within 1 year. For 3 decades many wrong estrogen treatments resulted in many grave errors. One problem was often estrogen was restored by itself, and not in combination with progesterone and other hormones. Hormones balance and control each other by feedback systems, so when you balance estrogen you need to balance other controlling hormones. This mistake has been going on for 3 decades and still can happen. Another problem is progesterone is a controlling hormone of estrogen levels. Many times in the past synthetic progesterones were used and later these were found to be dangerous.

Dr. Bob is mentioned on this web site many times. He was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away.

Dr. Bob said he was against using synthetic estrogens instead of natural compounded estrogens. Most synthetic estrogens are made from horse's urine and horse's estrogens. First of all, horse's urine is not natural to the body and each time you ingest it the immune system will need to neutralize the urine. This stresses the body unnaturally and possibly unnecessarily. Also horses have 5 estrogens and humans have 3 estrogens. Therefore there are some horse's estrogens that women are using that the immune system will not recognize and will have to neutralize them. This again is adding more stress to a woman's body. Furthermore, the 3 estrogens in humans are in different ratios and proportions for each individual woman, and using the natural ratios and proportions of horse's estrogens to determine what a woman will receive as her estrogen replacement therapy is not efficient science. There are many doctors who know where to prescribe for naturally compounded estrogen replacement therapies customized for women and these are the doctors we recommend. One such group of doctors are the A-4 doctors, who belong to the American Academy of Antiaging Medicine. These doctors are cutting edge and cannot become an A-4 doctor until they have been tested on the newest information of the hormonal sciences. Their national number is 773-528-4333. Also, we recommend women use estrogen replacement called Triest, a compound of all 3 women's estrogens in the ratio's most women need. You can call the Woman's International Pharmacy at 800-279-5708 to fill your prescription needs.

One more point Dr. Bob said, some substances like soy and black cohosh reduce menopausal symptoms. These substances probably mimic estrogen - possibly a good clue that you need the real estrogen replacement.

A woman telephoned me and asked if I might know why she had gained 15 pounds in just 2 weeks since her physician had prescribed for her Premarin, which is a product made from urine from horses. I told her that Dr. Bob had told me of several instances of weight gain occurring while on Premarin estrogen replacement and the only reason he could think of for this problem was because Premarin is created from mainly pregnant horses. He guessed the reason for the weight gain is that the chemistry for a pregnant horse is geared to promote growth in a fetus. Therefore, a pregnant horse's estrogen and urine probably contains many elements that promote growth and might result in weight gain in women using horse's urine as part of their estrogen replacement. She was aware of Triest and I asked her why she was using a synthetic estrogen replacement made from horse's urine? She said her doctor had told her that a pregnant horse had the healthiest urine and that it was therefore the best to use versus other horse's urine. I said maybe she should consider Triest and she said maybe that was an excellent idea. She also said she did not trust her doctor anymore, because why advise a synthetic product that might result in problems in the body when you could use a natural product designed for women. This made sense to me.

In conclusion, restoring estrogen levels has been shown to be beneficial for women. On the other hand, most women will not consider estrogen replacement or once they begin, they stop it. Dr. Bob suggested that most of the problems women found in estrogen replacement are due to doctors using wrong methods or synthetic products. He said finding doctors who were aware of the latest ideas in the hormonal sciences and who could restore estrogen might eliminate most of these problems for women.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.

WARNING:  DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
