Bio-identical estradiol ProtectsBy Dr. Donna Becker“ M y doctor told me I was too young for menopause! Told me to take an antidepressant for the moodiness andtiredness. But--I’mnotreallydepressed!” One of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease is untreated depression. But are you lacking some pharmaceutical drug, or could replacement of the hormones you had for the past 30+ years solve the moodproblem?“I can’t remember a thing! My doctorsaidIwasjustgettingolder”. Mildcognitive impairment may be a warning sign of Alzheimer’s. I heard a researcher state that in 20 years, more people will have Alzheimer’s than there are available people to care for them. We must do all we can NOW to protect our brains. Estradiol does protect the brain!For the first time in history, great numbers of women may live to see their 90th and beyond birthdays. The good news is that research has shown that estradiol does provide neuroprotection. Women who have late menopause and women who take hormones fare better in memory tests. After menopause however, the brain protective benefits are dependent on the type of hormone replacement. No surprise here, but the synthetic, horse derived estrogen did not help prevent Alzheimer’s, but only the 17-Beta estradiol type, which is the technical name for human estradiol. The human type (bio-identical) estradiol may be made in a laboratory, but the molecule is exactly like the one you made inside of yourself at age 18. Sort of like human-type of insulin—it is exactly like the one naturally occurring but is made in a lab.Bio-identical estradiol can be madeInteriorsthe Brain*Get Your Easter Bunny PicsGet Your Vitality Back!G et Your Easter Bunny Pics with the kids on Friday April 7th from 12pm-4pm (weather permitting) at Nothing Bundt Cakes at 700 E.
