No didn't post on alternative as many of the bioidenticals come in patch form so must bypass liver, sprays for estrogen, creams for all three. I'm on the creams created from plant sources. Did you know all pharmacists must learn how to compound as part of their training in pharmacy school? Something that is bioidentical has the same structure as the ones found in your body. Some say they protect from cancer. Now the originals from the study in I think 2002 was on the horse pee ones that contrain many more hormones than the human body has. Also Thyroid is a hormone. Forms a huge loop which affects all organs of the body. I feel only time will tell if bios can do what is written about them help osteoporosis, restore some skin tone, relieve fatigue. I started doing searches it's amazing what's out there. Lots of google searches and combos. Compounding Pharmacies, bioidentical hormones, Fda approved ones and some a lot actually are FDA approved, climara and vivelle patch, promethium pill, estromist spray for estrogen, and testosterone creams , androgel. Phillipa ps I'm seriously questioning this doc and actually went there today and said I want more bloodwork and include throid as hormones can influence the thyroid if thyroid disease which I have. Thanks for reading and asking. Do some searches you will definitely find some great info outthere to sift through
