 He is an expert on Female Hormone Replacement Therapy and co-author of the book “The Estrogen Alternative”.  SERMS stand for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators used in Female Hormone Replacement Therapy.

 Botanical remedies (over the counter remedies that are derived from herbs and plants) are what they usually mean by “natural”. An important point about “natural” and “risk free" - natural isn’t risk free! Just because a supplement comes from plants and is available at a health food store doesn’t make it safe.  In terms of female hormone replacement therapy there is no reason to believe that any of the botanicals are preferable to medication that is FDA regulated, tested on thousands of women, and successful with millions of patients.

ďƒ˜ Regarding botanicals, for the most part, all we have is anecdotal evidence - women taking the drug who said it helped them. There is no scientific evidence to conclude that these botanicals are any better.

Furthermore, there are no scientific studies to show how these botanicals stack up against placebos. So is natural really better? ďƒ˜ Dr. Steven R.
