Do you know of anyone at Kaiser San Rafael who is up to speed on bioidentical hormones? My ob-gyn there has advised me to taper off my estratest and methylprogesterone, but after reading your book I am back on my old dosage. I've continued through all the admonitions resulting from the big study which you quoted as in the re-analysis more or less reversing the original findings because it seemed to be working well for me and I didn't see any reason to change until he made the specific suggestion which I wasn't very happy with. So, after that run-on sentence, I am very interested in exploring bioidenticals as a replacement for what I'm taking. Thanks for your very informative and enlightening and confirming book! Cindy Valentine Dear Dr. Pollycove,

I, a 25 year taker of HRT, found your book profoundly gratifying. Do you know of anyone at Kaiser San Rafael who is up to speed on bioidentical hormones? My ob-gyn there has advised me to taper off my estratest and methylprogesterone, but after reading your book I am back on my old dosage. I’ve continued through all the admonitions resulting from the big study which you quoted as in the re-analysis more or less reversing the original findings because it seemed to be working well for me and I didn’t see any reason to change until he made the specific suggestion which I wasn’t very happy with.
