Would like to know if anyone is taking Dr. D's supplement called Aromastat and what are you taking it for?
I am post menopausal and have a very high family history of breast cancer. I am taking bio-identical hormones formulated for me through a compounding pharmacy (estriol, progesterone, and testosterone) all of which I am deficient in.
I really like the idea that Aromastat protects against breast cancer and would like to take it along with my BHRT. Just wondering if it is a good idea to take both? Any thoughts? |

Honestly, I would just go with Arimidex. Herbal aromatase inhibitors work very poorly. Studies show they are ineffective. Not all drugs are bad! Arimidex has a great safety profile - especially at lose doses. *I am not a doctor.* |

Arimidex is drug designed for women who have HAD breast cancer, not a drug someone would take with a history of breast cancer in their family...and it has plenty of side effects. http://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/hormonal/aromatase_inhibitors/arimidex |

if you have issues in your family about breatcancer...sorry I wouldn't take any hormons then ....  I often recommended aromastat for all b-types after chemo and other cancer therapies with great results....can't deny the combination works !!! Arimidex and other products shouldn't be recommended as a sort of prevention...a def. no! Only if the status of a cancer is really detected and hormonal related! <the bodies responses sometimes are not predictable at all! Wish you all the best  greetings from Switzerland |
