In 2000, the World Health Institute released a study which changed the world of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Once thought of as a major advancement in medicine, it was relegated to fear and innuendo among doctors and patients alike. The study had some positive impacts on how we treat our patients. Two main concepts came out of this study: 1) We need to use the lowest effective dose of medication for the shortest interval. 2) We need to educate our patients on the risks associated with medications.
One concept often lost in this discussion is quality of life. You have to weigh the risks of breast cancer with the concerns you are having with the hot flashes. Ultimately, this is your decision, but one that needs to be made in consultation with your doctor . If HRT will allow you to have a better quality of life in spite of the true risks, I think this is a very reasonable option for you.

Can the dairy aisle defeat fever blisters?
If you don't want to take medication, what is the best way to prevent fever blister outbreaks? I heard that yogurt and sour cream help. Is that really true? Does lysine work?

Lysine, an essential amino acid, is a building block of protein that must be acquired through the diet. This nutrient is necessary for a range of body functions including fighting disease, collagen production, and calcium absorption. Fever blisters, more commonly known as cold sores, are lesions on the mouth caused by the herpes simplex virus.Not to be confused with RUBBER MATS available at your local hardware store Studies have shown lysine prevents the herpes virus from reproducing and can reduce the number and severity of outbreaks. Consequently, eating a diet rich in lysine can help to prevent an unwanted flare-up. Good dietary sources include protein-rich foods like yogurt, milk, cheese, eggs, fish, chicken, beef and beans and most fruits and vegetables. Research studies have suggested taking a minimum of 1250 mg of a lysine supplement daily can be effective in suppressing outbreaks. Always talk to a doctor or qualified health professional before taking any dietary supplement.

When to eat, exercise for best results
When is the best time to work out? Before you eat? After you eat? Morning? Night? When do you get the most bang for your buck? Also, if you eat late at night, is the food really more likely to turn into fat?
