Comments on: The FDA, ACOG, and NAMS Denounce Bioidentical Hormones: Dr. Neal Rouzier and Dr. Dirk Parvus Disagree http://www.worldlinkmedical.com/blog/the-fda-acog-and-nams-denounce-bioidentical-hormones-dr-neal-rouzier-m-d-and-dr-dirk-parvus-m-d-disagree/ Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:36:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Alex Leon, MD http://www.worldlinkmedical.com/blog/the-fda-acog-and-nams-denounce-bioidentical-hormones-dr-neal-rouzier-m-d-and-dr-dirk-parvus-m-d-disagree/#comment-2938 Alex Leon, MD Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:58:55 +0000 http://worldlinkmedical.com/?p=2238#comment-2938 Dear Neal, and all the other kindred physicians Ditto to all the above comments, and the ignorant arrogance that we all face with many of our colleagues,especially those supposedly previously enlightened by the "alternative" BHRT self-appointed and nepotistic gurus those of us seeking rationality have endured. Again Bless you a million times for your endeavors, I hope to be at Part III next week! Thanks again Alex Dear Neal, and all the other kindred physicians

I have successfully incorporated the principles of bio identical hormone replacement in my practice. Within my sphere of influence I have been educating other Endocrinologists to see things from a different perspective. I used to meet with a lot of resistance a decade ago but of late things are changing. At my last seminar I had 5 endocrinologists attend! They liked the information I presented. Thank you Neal for your mentorship and encouragement!

The human experience is so more vast than any one research project can portray. The bottom line with hormone research is that outside of the basics of health - nutrition, exercise and ease management - hormones are studied. The only factors seperating the data are hormone type and delivery method, age and vascular risk. Outside of hormone replacement research, research in general has been a weak subject to me personally - too many variables and too many interpretations. When it comes to hormones - in a healthy body or in an unhealthy body - we still see the same results to different degrees. Hands down, there is not a body of science that can compare to this. I don't think it is worth our time or energy to discuss the topic of BHRT when the topic hasn't been looked at equally from both sides. It's a waste of time and energy and our health is too precious to sacrifice for this. If we focus on educating those who are seeking our knowledge, who are self inspired, we will have our greatest impact. Battles arent' interesting to me - only truth - as close as we can get to it. We all seek our own truth. Neal, I appreciate the gifts you give all physicians seeking to be the best patient advocates we can be for those who seek out our knowledge. Blessings to you and Carolyn - you deserve peace. In Health, Theresa Dear Neal and Dirk,

I don’t think it is worth our time or energy to discuss the topic of BHRT when the topic hasn’t been looked at equally from both sides. It’s a waste of time and energy and our health is too precious to sacrifice for this.

If we focus on educating those who are seeking our knowledge, who are self inspired, we will have our greatest impact. Battles arent’ interesting to me – only truth – as close as we can get to it. We all seek our own truth.

Neal, I appreciate the gifts you give all physicians seeking to be the best patient advocates we can be for those who seek out our knowledge.

Blessings to you and Carolyn – you deserve peace.
In Health, Theresa

I feel so lucky to have studied with you and had to tune out most of what they were saying about female hormone replacement. The main speaker talked about heart disease risks with one comment "I am not going to talk about heart disease risks." This was after two hours on breast cancer. She recommended using little drops of estradiol on your wrists to symptom relief, something she had learned from someone else. this is sad because IFM is an excellent organization with outstanding educational programs in other subjects. I just kept telling my friends there to take courses with you if they want good scientific evidence. Like DIrk, I will be back in 2012 to repeat your courses.

He took the words out of my mouth. I also have attended the IFM hormone module and was appalled! They use homoeopathic bioidentical hormone replacement in order to prevent breast cancer! There were at least 30 slides on this and ONE slide on prevention of CVD! I am so glad I took your training first and now know when people's lectures are based on their own fears and not science. Thank you for all the work you do and I, too, will be back for more of your training! Warmly, Regina Dear Neal,
