i \was on BHRT for 2 years and after reading Dr. Mercola's info, decided to get off of it. I had not had any bad experiences on it, but the Dr. who prescribed it was unethical and i left her practice. The PA I'ved talked to since then encouraged me to stay off hormones, stating that i'm getting old and should allow that to happen without trying to change things, adding that there has been much research showing the hormones will cause various cancers. I liked some of the effects I had with the hormones. They weren't cheap, however, and i'd sure like to know what it best for me. i'm looking for another Dr. at this point, more along the lines of one who is holistic, etc. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
I also believe that the state of our body will determine whether we 'get sick' or not. I have been working to strengthen my immune system for years. I did get covid. I wish I'd had access to alternative means of helping my system to fight it, because i got very sick for a few weeks; too sick to think clearly about what I could do to strengthen my system. My doctor had said, 'Do not come in to the office if you have covid!' My chiropractor quietly took both my husband and myself in for adjustments. I think there are things out there - virus or whatever, and have noticed some people do not get downed by them - i.e. they have a strong immune system. And soem people get a little sick, and others get deadly sick. It's all about how strong your body is.
