As we age, our bone loss accelerates, putting us at risk for a deadly hip fracture. I say deadly, because a surprising number of patients die within a year of a hip fracture.“...Women sustaining a hip fracture had a 5-fold increase and men almost an 8-fold increase in relative likelihood of death within the first 3 months as compared with age- and sex-matched controls” Phy MP, Vanness Dj, Melton LJ III, et al. Effects of a hospitalist model on elderly patients with hip fracture. Arch Intern Med. 2005;165(7):796-801 (PubMed)A test to really answer the question, “Am I losing bone now, or am I building bone?” is the Telopeptide Cross-Links (NTx), urine. This is a simple 2nd morning voiding of urine collected and sent to the lab. The desired number should be less than 36. For the majority of women with hormone levels in the young adult range, daily weight bearing, adequate D & K vitamin levels, bone loss will not be an issue. Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone hormones all contribute to sustaining our wonderful inner skeletons.Without estradiol, the skin produces less collagen and elastin with the result that the skin becomes, thinner, drier, and wrinkled. Progesterone promotes deep, regenerative sleep. Without sleep, aging of the brain is accelerated and even appetite has been shown to increase in sleep deprived persons.Testosterone gives us energy and the zest for life. If testosterone could speak, it would say, “I am worthy”, Progesterone would say, “I am relaxed and good” while estrogen would assert, “I am pretty! I can think of 10 things at once! Look at me!”No, hormones are not for everybody.Some persons have no symptoms of menopause or andropause. And Yes, hormones, whether bio-identical or synthetic, have-in some studies, but not all-been associated with an increased risk of cancer, heart attacks, and stroke.Dr. Donna Becker, Practicing medicine for over 30 yrs. with focus on hormone replacement for past 20 + yrs.

Murphyn 1896 Paris, the famous Le Louvre department store started a competition for car designers andEugene Pierre Selmersheim’s futuristic, aerodynamic design was the winner. This is considered by many to be the first concept car in history (although it was never built). Selmersheim was a French architect and decorator and was the son of famed architect Paul Selmersheim.“The prizewinning entry was a scale model made from wax, cardboard and glass by Pierre Selmersheim, an architect and furniture designer. As can be seen from the competition, the Selmersheim design was very radical and advanced for the era.A photo of it was widely publicizedFebruary 2025www.heloteshighlights.com 9in the French newspapers and European motoring magazines. But none of the many French coachbuilders was interested in building it.”~ Gijsbert-Paul BerkTerrence I. Murphy is the author of The Horseless Age
