GROAN. The question, fls, is whether he knows what we are going on about? The nerve of someone who knows nothing about medicine arguing with, at least one, doctor here. Maybe TS would like acting lessons from the doctor …

But, seriously, I note that debv refers to Erika Schwartz (MD) as an opponent of Wiley. However, Dr. S has her own form of bioidentical hormone therapy (as I recall), and my understanding is that all of it is hokum.

ACOG warns against "bioidentical hormone therapy" and saliva testing.”

The ACOG press release:
http://www.acog.org/from_home/publications/press_releases/nr10-31-05-1.cfm
There is no scientific evidence to support claims of increased efficacy or safety for individualized estrogen or progesterone regimens prepared by compounding pharmacies, according to a new Committee Opinion released today by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Furthermore, hormone therapy does not belong to a class of drugs with an indication for individualized dosing.” [italics added]
