While hormonetherapy is the most effective way to relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, there is not enough scientific evidence to support its use for the other problems, says the report, which is to be published in June.
At that time, she said, "I thought preventive hormonetherapy should probably be prescribed to most postmenopausal women, except those at high risk for breast cancer," and incorporated that view into the guidelines.
Hormone replacement therapy has had 40 years to show that it does very little for all menopause related conditions.
Human growth hormone, which is secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain, is also responsible for re-growth and healing, decreased body fat and cholesterol, higher energy level and enhanced sexual performance.
In addition, human growth hormone affects the liver, kidneys, spleen, skin and bone, and is protective against atrophy by causing re-growth of tissue.
Until recently, the supply of growth hormone was scarce because it had to be obtained from the pituitary gland of cadavers.
