Study Shows HRT Even Riskier Than Thought

The indiscriminate use of artificial hormones has proved to be a problem not only in the context of HRT, but also in the treatment of fertility. Many advocates are now pointing out at the dangers of the fertility medications that are used to stimulate ovarian function, such as Femara. There is an interesting blog to this regard, http://fertileheart.com/blog/ by Julia Indichova, who goes beyond the consequences at the individual level to mention the broader societal impact of HRT and ART.

An Open Letter to the New York Times
by Dr. Cedric F. Garland, Dr. P.H.
12/7/09
Editor, New York Times:
We have closely followed the stories in the Times about the mammography controversy. The coverage has been thorough and superb.
The controversy is about a procedure that, at best, reduces mortality by 15% and does nothing toward primary prevention.
It is not widely realized that most breast cancer is preventable. While the scientific literature reveals many strategies for prevention of breast cancer, the simplest is elimination of the vitamin D deficiency. This is the main known cause of breast cancer. Raising the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level to 40-60 ng/ml could prevent 75-80% of breast cancer incidence (and deaths, of course).
While deciding on the issue of mammography, action can be taken today to raise the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D to appropriate levels.
Sincerely yours,
Cedric F. Garland, Dr. P.H., F.A.C.E.

Those women with breast cancer diagnosis who had high vitamin D levels in recovery were 70% more likely to be alive after 7 years vs those with the lowest vitamin D levels.
