XENO-ESTROGENS (foreign estrogen from pesticides) may also play a role in prostate cancer, hypospadius in males, undecended testicles.

Natural or synthetic estrogen ALONE blocks thyroid and causes water retention, can cause fibrocystic breast disease and fibroid tumors/cysts.

Estrogen replacement therapy should not be used if there is a history of: diabetes, varicose veins, high blood fat levels, fibrocystic breasts, obesity, history of breast or endometrial cancer, history of blood clots.

Bone benefits of estrogen replacement therapy wane after 3-5 years of estrogen therapy. Adding natural progesterone increases bone density over 10% - 15% within 6 - 12 months.
