Butterfly - 5.sep.02
For no apparent reason, I decided to take pictures
of butterflies today.
News from the Estrogen Addict -This showed up in the
paper this morning:
The maker of the most popular hormone therapies
for post-menopausal women has told doctors that there are possibly
increased risks from all its estrogen-based products, and that their
labels will now reflect that concern.
The new company information will state that estrogen products
should not be taken to prevent heart disease and should be taken
for as short a time as possible. In addition, doctors were told
to carefully consider alternatives to estrogen when trying to prevent
osteoporosis in patients.
This is from those fine folks - who just 4 short months ago were
telling us to take estrogen early and often. Remember Patti LaBelle,
Muriel Hemmingway et. al.???
Well, between "The Pill" and "Premarin" I had
30+ years as a user.
More good news on the health front. Malaria has been showing up
in these parts. (Which should help get us prepared for Hawai'i where
Dengue Fever is not unheard of)
Sheesh!
