If your answer to the above question is yes, then you are not alone. It is essential to know the facts when pertaining to your body. And it is a vital fact that majority of baby boomers in the US are females.
The oldest baby boomers, born between 1946 & 1964, started turning 60 in 2006. The studies from the US Census Bureau stated, they estimated 78.2 million baby boomers and 50.8 percent are women, as of July 1 2005. So according to projections, 7,918 of these baby boomers aged 60 for everyday in 2006 and for every hour, 330. That is the reason why a a percentage of these women are not comfortable with menopause symptoms. If you've felt discomfort between the stages of menstruation to menopause, then your are one of more than 40 million women who need to know the facts.
Defined as the termination of the menstrual cycle for 12 consecutive months, menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, and usually occur naturally around age 51 or 52 when the ovaries no longer produce estrogen. Immediate menopause can happen at any age when the ovaries are removed surgically. In any case, menopause affects women's health and quality of life for the remainder of her lifetime.
In 2003, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) scared the daylights out of women and doctors alike. What a lot women don't know is that the results comprehensively talked about cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis in women over 65 years-old on PremPro and Premarin only.
The WHI was established to attend to the most widespread causes of death, disability, and impaired quality of life in women after menopause. Organized as an attempt to straighten the inequities in women's health research and provide practical information to women and their doctors, the WHI focused on man-made hormone replacement therapy, dietary patterns plus calcium and Vitamin D supplements and its outcome on the prevention of heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. The reason being the episode of these three diseases rises after a woman comes to menopause.
In November of 2003, there were just about nine million American women who still take in some form of Premarin as in PremPro. Premarin or PMU stands for Pregnant Mares' Urine (PREgnant MARes' urine). There were 12 million women on PMU based medications and after the WHI results came out, it showed a decrease of 25 percent.
There are fifty-five million post menopausal women in the US and one-third of them are on synthetic estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). From seventy-nine percent in nineteen,ninety-nine, about 49% of them are using "PMU" based products.
A number of women who were fearful of taking in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), were intrigued of the idea of natural bio-identical hormones. Yet with so many products gone out on the market, this has just created confusion. And now, the government is taking measures to control every bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) remedies that are being sold.
There is no need for women to be baffled about hormone replacement therapy. People have become accustomed to talking about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in menopause medicine. But this expression isn't truly exact because hormones are not really bio-identical. Not unless the body knows them as hormones, then natural hormones are not bio-mimedic and it will not be thought of as restoration unless what was lost was restored. They can be mimicked, but they are not exactly the same. In addition, they can't be replaced, rather they can be placed back.
What is the difference between biomimetic hormones and bio-identical hormones? Biomimetic hormones are taken from natural sources and replicates the body's natural wave-like beats of the blood levels in hormones in a normal menstrual cycle. Undulating means to make a move in a smooth wavelike movement.
Bio-identical hormone products come from plants to be exactly like the chemical arrangement of hormones that is naturally produced by the human body. The premise is that, technically, the body can't point out bio-identical hormones from those the female ovaries produce; however, different forms of human-produced hormones are recognized differently by cells. It makes sense to state that the effect of bio-identical hormones may differ.
A big part of recognizing at the receptor cite depends on presentation, i.e...serum levels and timing, as well as molecular structure. For bio-identical hormone compounds to be the same as the original, biologically, as human hormones, they must be presented biomimetically.
Biomimetic hormone restoration therapy is accurate, it's biomimetic and acts like the rise & fall rhythms of hormone blood levels in a normal menstrual cycle. That's Biomimetic - not bio-identical.
What isIdentify the tempo? The body's rhythms are governed by a master clock that works similar to a conductor. A portion of the body's orchestra is hit as a part quiets down, it takes its cue from the body's light signals so it stays synchronized with the 24-hour day. The hormones rise and fall to this.
Our cells circadian clock measures on one 24 hour revolution of our planet. For 28 days the moon tracks the repeating of that cycle - and so does your body. The Wiley Protocol follows this natural rhythm to help establish the right quantity of doses of estradiol and progesterone needed to copy the natural hormones that's been produced by our body. The topical creams and their amounts vary throughout the 28 day cycle to restore the hormone levels of youth.
The latest action for women in menopause is multiple-phased rhythmic dosing of bio-mimetic hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using natural hormones in a bio-mimetic way. Over two million women in the U.S. use modified hormones for menopause symptoms.
By 2030, 54.9 percent out of 57.8`million baby boomers would be female, according to estimated studies. Around that time, they would be around the age of 66-84. Thanking the help that Biomimetic Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) brings to your menopause symptoms, we all hope they would be living more comfortable.
