It's another one of those sham concoctions hiding under the grandfathered "homeopathic" laws, what crap! This MUST be either direct hormone precursors (so they can lie and say it on ly "revitalizes" hormones) in a lipophilic formula to cross epidermal cell membranes meant to escape first pass metabolism--but the estrogen patch was found DANGEROUS because of this, and this compote contains progesterone estrogen and testosterone precursors. WHY doesn't the FDA crack down on these sham artists who don't take advantage of people? They lie saying that a woman's own estrogen her "natural" estrogen is not carcinogenic, only replacement---that's so FALSE, it's the cumulative amount of estrogen, estriol, estradiol, etc., that's linked with reproductive cancers. This "bioidentical" hormone lie has got to be revealed for what it is, it's nothing more or less than hormone replacement therapy, and THERACYL is just a more slick slimy scam on women. PLEASE tell women the truth!!

After menopause, the ovaries do not produce estradiol and other tissues produce more estrone and estriol, weaker estrogens. The only way for this product to increase estrogen is to supplement estrogen. The way the hawker shows labs of hormone replacement overdoses as some "proof" that her product doesn't have the same liability because it's "natural" is a joke. Christ, when are people going to wake up to the "natural" hoax? Are they really that stupid? All any of these charletains have to say is "natural" and then even if they're selling a product with the same risks then gullible naive consumers will lap it up. People just don't understand hormones...they don't understand estrogen receptor types, they are just too lazy to read up on what they stick on spray on or swallow into their bodies, they just want to believe some "line" they're fed. All any woman who is taking this or any other hormone supplement (because that's what this is) is doing is putting themselves in the same risk categories as the HRT trial (hormone replacement therapy rials)...26% increased risk of heart disease 22% increased risk of breast cancer, higher levels of cognitive decline, etc. They can dupe themselves all they want, it doesn't change things.

If that drug is listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia, nothing can be done. When it comes to supplements, FDA can do very little.
