Many years back in the early 1990's I was on one of the first trials for hormones. This was started off by the most brilliant of all doctors Dr. Sarah Cabot an Australian doctor. Author of "The Liver Cleansing Diet." I was put onto hormones, the best thing that I ever did. It was all kept very hush-up so BigPharma wouldn't find out. Doctors, all women doctors at the time went 'undercover' and prescribed their women patients hormone tablets for those who wanted to trial them. If discovered the doctor would lose his/her license. The hormone tablets were made up by compounding chemists. Not long after Ophra Winfrey heard about it and put in on her TV show. American women wanted the hormone tablets. Husbands not wanting to be outdone and with their wives feeling more healthy and more 'sexy' wanted them as well. I started taking hormone tablets back then (all undercover) and I kept a vigil with bone density tests to see how my bones were faring to prevent osteoporosis. Prescribed hormone tablets prevent osteoporosis. And that is a fact. I will get shot down for this, however, if you get yourself a hormone doctor and get onto hormone tablets early it will prevent osteoporosis...they are great for your health. There was a scare at the time, however it was discovered that 'they' were found using horse's urine in them. After years on them I got to an age when I was told I was too old to take them...it's when you get older it's when you want them to stop your bones getting brittle!! Something happened to the hormones here in Australia, you couldn't get them anymore, or doctors were scared to prescribe them and there was a surge of osteoporosis. BigPharma make a fortune out of osteoporosis, so hormone tablets were banned. I have a very dear friend a brilliant heart surgeon. He prescribed one of his lady patients some hormone tablets. He got DOBBED in and he lost his license. It destroyed him, he had a stroke and it was only that he got onto oxygen and ozone treatment quickly that he recovered...but it took time. He has always had an interest in my oxygen and ozone. Not listening 'to this age' rubbish, and remembering how good I felt on them, I again quietly hunted around for another doctor specializing in hormones and got back onto them. However, they are now prescribed as patches absorbed through the skin....not like the original scripts, I don't trust them as much as the original tablets. I swear on oath, if you get yourself a doctor who specializes and prescribes onto hormone tablets (made up by a compounding chemist) then you will feel fantastic and you will be caring for your bones and preventing brittle bones and osteoporosis in your 'old age.' The prevention of osteoporosis is there. Best to all.....R.Daveney
Dr Rowen, what do you think about utilizingpeptides? I came across this… but have no idea how to use it ie keep balance https://peptideswarehouse.com/shop/
Excellent information. Since turning 65 in 2024 my PCP keeps urging me to take a dexa scan, amongst other tests. I am very healthy, good weight, eat well, sleep very well, cardio and strength 5 times a week. Now I realize that doesn’t guarantee strong resilient bones but wanted to mention it for practical reasons. I am not against finding out my bone strength, but my intuition has always told me to stay away from the DEXA scan. I recently learned about REMS so it is very timely that you wrote this article. Thank you so much for explaining the difference between the two types of tests. I would never consider taking any of the pharmaceutical solutions if I tested poorly. I see my PCP because I have to for Medicare, but my real doctor is my Functional Medicine Doctor who I’ve been going to for many years. I know he would guide me in the right direction. I have not searched it out yet, but I am hoping I can find a place to have the REMS test.
Thank you for all your articles, I appreciate the time and energy. It must take to write them.
FYI For all of my life i have been underweight, short in stature, small boned. I have been extremely active in sports and running cycling without a break. I walk at least 60 mi a month and lift weights. The DXA scans that i started about 5 years ago showed that i have a low BMD and i have "osteoporosis" and i need drug treatments. They do not factor in at all the quality of the bone matrix! I gave my bones a real life test about 3 years ago. I was on my front deck. I had a stereo receiver with a wood case in my hands. I was not thinking and when i held the wood case in the wrong way the receiver weighing 35 lb slipped out. I fell straight back on my hips and my back still holding the receiver. After my hips and back hit my head hit the deck really hard in a reflux motion. I suffered no injuries or broken bones from this incident. If i had had osteoporosis and fragile bones i should have broken my hip and spine. I told the doctor and he had nothing to say. BMD and DXA are not everything like doctors think they are. I hope they set up REMS technology centers it is much needed.

Interesting report, thank you Dr Rowen!

I have no comment on peptides. We have little experience. I am seeking a guest article on subject from a friend.
Could you please address the best absorption of Gltathione? I've see other places that Glutathione suppositories are the best absorption.
Thank you
