| | Scientists Question Hormone Therapies for Menopause |
 | | We think in the near future we are going to learn that hormone replacement therapy and many other drug therapies have a much more negative effect on the body then we know today. | | | Hormone replacement can prevent bone loss from osteoporosis, and observational studies have suggested that it reduces the risk of fractures. | | | Premarin, a form of estrogen replacement therapy sold by Wyeth, was the third most commonly prescribed drug in the United States last year, with more than 45 million prescriptions dispensed. |

| | This literature on the use of hormone therapy to treat conditions other than autism was not reviewed since this was considered beyond the scope of the guideline. | | | However, for many of the medications and diet therapies reviewed in this section, no adequately designed studies were found that evaluated the efficacy of these intervention methods for treating autism. | | | As research on autism has expanded in recent years, it has become the consensus of most researchers that that there is a biological basis for autism. |

| | ABC News: Some Hormone Replacement Therapy Has Value |
| | "Hormone therapy isn't necessarily the option of first choice to prevent osteoporosis," he said, "but it can be of definite value for women who have significant hot flashes and sleep disturbances, if they do not have a history of blood clots, strokes or other cardiovascular conditions." | | | So we're moving back to an appropriate balance — accepting that hormone therapy has risks, but recognizing that it can be appropriate for conditions like hot flashes, so long as women are informed about these risks and weigh their decisions with their doctors." | | | There was a good reason for the nation's leading obstetrics and gynecological organization to create a report outlining the ways some form of estrogen therapy could be used: abruptly stopping HRT therapy was not a good idea for many women. |

| | Stafford, who also led the previous study of prescribing patterns for hormone therapy, said the two studies demonstrate the variety of forces that affect physician practice. | | | Pharmaceutical companies slashed promotional spending for hormone therapies by more than a third following reports in July 2002 of health risks associated with the drugs, but within the year they beefed up their marketing efforts to promote lower-dose forms of the medications, according to researchers at the School of Medicine. | | | The researchers say their study, which appears in today’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that promotional spending for postmenopausal hormone therapies dropped by 37 percent, correlating with previous Stanford research that found prescriptions for the drugs decreased by 38 percent during a similar time span. |

| | The therapies are in widespread use for one reason: they work for hypothyroid patients after replacement therapies failed them. | | | These patients, many clinicians, and some researchers report that the alternate therapies are far more effective for the patients than replacement therapies. | | | They cannot validly deduce from the results of the four studies that no T4/T3 therapy works any better than T4 alone; yet this is precisely the meaning of their universal conclusion (and the implication of the titles of all four study reports). |

| | Hormone Therapies with Dr. Alvin Pettle |
| | Once again a large scale controlled medical study shows that synthetic HRT does not belong in the human body and that all of the promotion that was given to the drug replacement therapy as being a wonder drug providing the fountain of youth, was not the case with synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT). | | | I found that taking a free testosterone level in a patient who states that she has a lowered libido will usually prove that the testosterone level is indeed extremely low. | | | However, in my mind it is becoming increasingly clear that the closer we stay to the original plan -nature's way- the better off patients and their doctors will be. |
