WLU-Thanks for bringing this to my attention, however, I was allowed to change my user name because of a technical problem with my first user name, so no, this is not sockpuppeting or meatpupeting, although it might appear that way to you, it is not technically.regards fromCraigventersmonster (talk) 16:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here you say Since I am a completely new user... yet just above you say I was allowed to change my user name because of a technical problem with my first user name... So - are you a new user or are you not? TFOWR 21:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The other name didn't last long, so "completely new" would seem to be accurate in this case. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy -Request For Page Protection to be UNDONE

[edit]

Point made and addressed at talk:BHRT WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 22:51, 30 June 2010 (UTC)}} A perfectly good edit on the Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Page was undone (within minutes) by User talk:WLU who then made the page protected under a smokescreen of "sockpuppet" which is false. I was instructed to open a new account under a new name because my initial user name thx11138robot had the word fragment "bot". So I did so.[reply]

The issue is that User talk:WLU maintains a choke hold on the content of this page and will not allow any edits of the extremely biased information there. This is not what was intended by WIkipedia whose rules state that edits should be neutral.

The very first paragraph on the page state that the word bioidentical is ill-defined. This is incorrect and represents a biased viewpoint. Here is the edited text which was undone:

Definition of the Word Bioidentical

Firstly, the word, Bioidentical, is well-defined by the Miriam Webster Dictionary [1] as "possessing identical molecular structure especially in relation to an endogenously produced substance <bioidentical estrogens>". Secondly, "bioidentical" is defined by Wiktionary as "identical to that which is naturally produced by the body." [2]. The Endocrine Society Position Statement on Bioidentical Hormones definition is: “Bioidentical hormones” are defined as compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body. [3]. This statement is also endorsed by the North Amerca Menopause Society. [4] These sources are in agreement that the word, "bioidentical" has a well defined meaning.

Since I am a completely new user, I would ask any and all Wiki users and administrators to assist in having the page protection UNDONE, and allowing proper editing of the page. Craigventersmonster (talk) 21:19, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection

[edit]

You posted your request to have the page unprotected at WP:Requests for page protection, were turned down, and were told to discuss it on the article's talk page. Twice. Running around posting your content to assorted user pages and noticeboards is WP:Forum shopping, and could get you blocked. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:29, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moskowitz D http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17217322 Altern Med Rev. 2006 Sep;11(3):208-23. A comprehensive review of the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormones for the management of menopause and related health risks.Moskowitz D.

Abstract Numerous forms of estrogens and progestins are utilized for the treatment of menopausal complaints and associated conditions that occur temporally. Although known to be different with respect to molecular structure, receptor affinity, metabolism, and other physiological traits, most have been treated as if they were clinically identical. The majority of these hormone preparations, commonly referred to as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), should perhaps be more aptly referred to as hormone substitution therapy, as most of the therapies utilized do not exactly match those produced in the body. Research indicates these synthetic hormones vary clinically in safety and efficacy. As such, women and their physicians have, in increasing numbers, been opting for the use of bioidentical hormones; i.e., those that match the structure and function of hormones produced in the body. With greater utilization and research surrounding bioidentical hormones, the differences can now begin to be fully assessed and appreciated. This article reviews the disparities between synthetic and bioidentical estrogens and progestins/progesterone with respect to safety and efficacy; special attention is devoted to clinical outcomes in the breast, endometrium, bone, cardiovascular system, and brain. The studies reviewed suggest bioidentical progesterone does not have a negative effect on blood lipids or vasculature as do many synthetic progestins, and may carry less risk with respect to breast cancer incidence. Studies of both bioidentical estrogens and progesterone suggest a reduced risk of blood clots compared to non-bioidentical preparations. Bioidentical hormone preparations have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing menopausal symptoms. The author advocates for continued research on bioidentical hormones and concludes there is currently sufficient evidence to support their preferred use over that of their synthetic cousins.

Progestins and progesterone in hormone replacement therapy and the risk of breast cancer. Campagnoli C, Clavel-Chapelon F, Kaaks R, Peris C, Berrino F. Unit of Endocrinological Gynecology, Sant'Anna Gynecological Hospital, Corso Spezia 60, 10126 Torino, Italy. ginendocrinol@oirmsantanna.piemonte.it

Abstract Controlled studies and most observational studies published over the last 5 years suggest that the addition of synthetic progestins to estrogen in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), particularly in continuous-combined regimen, increases the breast cancer (BC) risk compared to estrogen alone. By contrast, a recent study suggests that the addition of natural progesterone in cyclic regimens does not affect BC risk. This finding is consistent with in vivo data suggesting that progesterone does not have a detrimental effect on breast tissue. The increased BC risk found with the addition of synthetic progestins to estrogen could be due to the regimen and/or the kind of progestin used. Continuous-combined regimen inhibits the sloughing of mammary epithelium that occurs after progesterone withdrawal in a cyclic regimen. More importantly, the progestins used (medroxyprogesterone acetate and 19-Nortestosterone-derivatives) are endowed with some non-progesterone-like effects, which can potentiate the proliferative action of estrogens. Particularly relevant seem to be the metabolic and hepatocellular effects (decreased insulin sensitivity, increased levels and activity of insulin-like growth factor-I, and decreased levels of SHBG), which contrast the opposite effects induced by oral estrogen.

Author's Conclusion: The balance of the in vivo evidence is that progesterone does not have a cancer-promoting effect on breast tissue. This provides a biological rationale for the finding that oral micronized progesterone added to estrogens in sequential or cyclic-combined regimens does not increase the risk of BC [26]. The greater BC risk persistently related to the use of HRT preparations containing estrogen and synthetic progestins seems in all likelihood due to the regimen and/or to the kind of progestin used. The “non-physiological” continuous-combined regimen, could increase the risk because it does not allow sloughing of lobular duct epithelium (such as occurs when progesterone declines at the end of the normal menstrual cycle). More importantly, many of the progestins used have several non-progesterone like actions that potentiate the proliferative effect of estrogens on breast tissue and estrogensensitive cancer cells. We therefore suggest that when HRT is indicated, preparations containing progesterone and not a synthetic progestin should be used, according to a sequential or cyclic-combined regimen. In this way the risk of endometrial cancer is minimized without increasing the risk of BC. Craigventersmonster (talk) 18:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
