Ladies, Worried about HRT link to Ovarian Cancer Risk? Discover If Magnets Could Be the Natural Alternative for You
Ladies, this one is literally hot off the press. As I turned on my television set this morning, the first headline to greet me was ‘HRT linked to Ovarian Cancer Risk’. By the time you finish reading this article you will learn about an inexpensive and effective option that just might work for you.
As you are already aware, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is prescribed to women who are going through the menopause. The main benefits that women have experienced to date from taking HRT have been protection against Osteoporosis in later life as well as a significant reduction in the intensity of the symptoms associated with the Menopause such as hot flashes, mood swings etc.
There have various health scares about HRT being linked to Breast Cancer, Strokes and Heart Disease in recent years. However, findings from the most recent
- The increased risk of contracting Ovarian Cancer
- The increased risk of dying from Ovarian Cancer.
Needless to say, this sort headline will invoke widespread panic among women who are not only taking the drug but also have a history of having Cancer in the family.
Now, whilst some women will be willing to 'take their chances' others like you will be busy seeking alternatives.
So on that basis, I would like to share some information about an alternative which may not seem to be an obvious choice, but definitely one to consider. I’m talking about Magnet Therapy.
Magnet Therapy in short, is a non-invasive method of applying magnets to body to improve circulation, relieve pain and inflammation.

Hot flushes, night sweats and irritability improved by a third, as did loss of libido and lapses in concentration. In addition, one in five of the women lost weight.'
There is an introduction to Magnetic Therapy Ecourse available for those of you who would like to know more. As I bring this article to a close I would like to say that if you do decide to stick with HRT the current medical advice is to only use it to get over the worst of your symptoms and then stop, whatever you do, don’t panic, educate yourself about the alternatives and then take informed action.
