Doctors, Patients Disagree Over Safety of Bioidentical Hormone

The debate over whether bioidentical hormones are better and/or safer than synthetic hormones continues in this news report from abc40 (Nov. 5, 2009) from Glastonbury, Conn., Springfield, Mass. (WGGB),–What if a doctor told you that you could get rid of all of your menopausal symptoms, the hot flashes, and night sweats, or get your energy and libido back with one prescription?
