Okay, so I had an eye exam yesterday and have a common case of dry eye. The ophthalmologist suggested I take Physician Recommended Nutraceuticals' De (dry eye) fish oil formula. It's a bit pricey and I figured I could find something comparable for less. Along the way I noticed these things and I'm n...

Let's not forget the need for research to be on bioidenticals too, as we communicate with her. I'm sure because synthetic are more widespread they feel studying that may impact more women, but we need the truth about bios. Testing only one form does nothing for overall clarity. If the results are ne...

Not only will not enough time have elapsed in five years for good longitudinal studies, I wonder if any HRT studies including genotypes are based on bioidenticals.

Thanks for that explanation. Only thing about heating protein with less water is I've always read it's high and dry heat that causes the advanced glycation end products. I usually steam my fish (occassional chicken), either in a steamer or in a countertop oven, at low heat. My very infrequent bison ...
