Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter challenges three hormone myths: family history of breast cancer doesn't rule out estrogen therapy, testosterone doesn't cause prostate cancer, and testosterone may protect against heart disease. He cites studies showing breast cancer patients on estrogen have higher survival rates.
Because you have a family history of breast cancer, you should not be on estrogen. So I just had a really great lecture on the myths of hormones. So if you're one of those people who've been told that because you have a family history of breast cancer, you should not be on estrogen, that's wrong. Studies show completely wrong. In fact, higher survival rates on people who have breast cancer who are on estrogen. If you're a man who's been told taking testosterone is going to give you prostate cancer, Wrong. Studies don't show that at all. If you're a man who's been told you can't take testosterone because of increase risk of cardiovascular disease, wrong. In fact, it's protective. Latest studies have shown that. So all of the different myths that you've heard, you have a doctor who's told you you're too old or you're too young or you're too this or you're too that, or you can't do this, it's going to give you cancer. No, all of the latest studies put that to rest. If you need hormones, if you want to feel better, come see us at Pinnacle. We'll get you feeling better.
