FemiLab:HRT cold turkey? Asthma meds during pregnancy? Drinking for weight loss? plus more!Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 8:37 pm — admin
Should you go Cold Turkey when cutting off the HRT? Since the publication of the Women's Health Initiative results (JW Womens Health May 2 2006), hormone therapy (HT) has been recommended only for women who have substantial symptoms at menopause — and then only for as long as necessary to alleviate symptoms. But is HT best discontinued abruptly or by tapering? To address this question....Women were randomized to stop HT abruptly or to take their usual doses every other day for 4 weeks and then stop. Result: no difference, in terms of hot flash recurrence. The Cove. Two words: SEE IT!Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 1:54 pm — admin
Last night I watched The Cove, which won best documentary at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. This is one amazing!!!! film and the the makers of this film are heroes. The film is on most pay/per/view now, but won't be for long. I'd say it is a family film for kids over the age of 10. Yes, you will have to watch one of the most heartbreaking scenes of all time, but it is not so much that you can't take it, but enough to know that in your soul dwells something more than just flesh and blood.

Did my ears deceive me? This morning on the Today Show, the discussion was on Tiger Woods. I didn't catch too much, but the gist was that Tiger was getting ready to play golf in the Masters this April. The question posed was: is the public ready to forgive Tiger for his transgressions. Oh cheating, what a weary thing. I hate to get into the bedrooms of others. I am not going to tell anyone whom to divorce or not.
