Sheep Ovaries for Menopausal Symptoms

So let's talk a little bit about the history of hormone replacement, how we got to where we're at now. If you went back, say, 100 years, and I've read some old textbooks, they treated menopause as hysteria or as a mental illness. And the very treatments aimed at reducing the mental illness or hysteria. And then we realized, well, this is probably a hormone issue. And one of the first hormone replacements was ground up sheep ovaries. And it's not that crazy as it sounds, we actually still use ground up animal organs for hormone replacement. Think armor thyroid. That's from armour hot dogs. They make it out of pigs. They actually take the thyroid out of pigs and dry it out and grind it up. It's called desiccated thyroid and it works pretty effectively. So they were using ground up sheep ovaries and that seemed to reduce symptoms of menopause hormone replacement. Think armor thyroid.
