Why you should refuse to take Premarin
Posted , 5 users are following.
Do you know what Premarin is and how it is made? It is extracted from pregnant horse urine. The pregnant mares are kept in cramped appalling conditions, chained in a stall that restricts movement, given minimal water so that their urine is concentrated. They have to be pregnant, so they are kept continually preganant until they are too old then they are slaughtered. And guess what happens to the foals? They are slaughtered as soon as they are born.
Any HRT with Prem in the brand name is likely to contain conjugated equine (o)estrogen (CEE). CEE is considered to have the worst side effects of all oestrogen because horse oestrogens are not compatible with humans. Back in July 2002 the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study into hormone therapy was stopped abruptly because it was clear that long-term risks of Prempro use clearly outweighed the benefits. Prempro was a combination pill made up of Premarin and Provera, a synthetic form of progesterone. Women in the study on Prempro were found to suffer more breast cancers, heart attacks, strokes and blood clots than the women taking the placebo.
According to Dr Uzzi Reiss in his book The Natural SUPERWOMAN, some of the risks and side-effects associated specifically with Premarin include:
Inflammation
Increased body fat
Cardiovascular events
Arterial sclerotic disease
Venous thrombosis (blood clots in veins) and
Migraine headaches.
And recent research published in JAMA Internal Medicine Journal in January 2014 found that “CEEs use was associated with a higher risk of incident venous thrombosis and possibly myocardial infarction than estradiol use.”
JUST SAY NO
With so many safer alternatives on the market it is unnecessary to still be manufacturing synthetic oestrogen from pregnant mare’s urine. Not only is it a cruel practice, but it is harmful to the health of the women who are prescribed it.
So, if your doctor prescribes you Prempak-C or Premarin, refuse to accept the prescription. You are under no obligation to accept it. Object on the grounds of animal cruelty and the fact that it is associated with higher risks.
Ask for bioidentical hormones (usually in the form of oestrogen patches or gel ). If your doctor is reluctant to prescribe them, ask for a referral to a Menopause Clinic or a Gynae-Endocrine Consultant at a hospital.
If more and more women refuse to take this product, there will no longer be a commercial reason to manufacture it. And that will not only benefit the health menopausal women around the globe, but those poor suffering pregnant mares as well.

So please remember it’s not as easy as ‘just change’. Hrt is not a one size fits all remedy.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I USE A BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE CREAM THAT IS PRESCRIBED BY AN ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE DOCTOR AND IT WORKS GREAT AND CAN ALWAYS BE ADJUSTED. IT IS SO CRUEL WHAT THEY DO IN THIS BUSINESS THAT CREATES PREMARIN!!!!

Suki girl,
Thank you for trying to get this information out about pre'mar'in ( pregnant Mare Urine ) and what it contains. So many women don't even know what is in this type of HRT. It is a shame that so many women years ago got so sick using this stuff, some even died and the only remedy was to cut the pills in half so it wasn't so deadly to women. When that didn't work they reduced the pill in half again. That seemed to satisfy the FDA to keep the drug on the market knowing full well what was still in it ( horse urine ) and that it didn't belong in a woman's body. So today even though doctors are reluctant to prescribe it, they still do. This is why they don't want women on it for too long. You are right, there is safer natural hormones out there. Biggest thing is to find a qualified doctor that knows what their doing to prescribe the right ones and moniter labs regularly. What these horses are put through in life to collect this high estrogen urine is appalling to no end and has been tolerated for many years to keep big pharma's big profits rolling in. Good post by you to bring this to attention.
