Thank you so much for listening so let's get started with this week's latest program

to help you and your family take control of your health.

Welcome everyone this is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and today

we are joined by Georgie Dinkoff who is fresh back from Bulgaria and going to give us

some real updates and insights I want to focus today on some controversial topics, certainly

controversial in the traditional medical community and that is two big ones actually.

One is the estrogen and I have a number of friends that are a natural medical physician

they give me a hard time about dissing estrogen and they claim it's so good and there

was problems and flaws with the women's health initiative study done but about a quarter

century ago I think the results were published maybe in 2000 2001 and which was responsible

for putting the nail in the coffin of most estrogens and radically decreased it but there's

still big controversy about that so we'll start with that and then I want to progress

into serotonin which is another big myth and that serotonin is not the happy hormone

that's responsible for causing depression although certainly a big farmer would have

you believe that as they have many many many SSRIs I think 25% is the elasticity side look

that the women over 40 are taking SSRIs so that really is something that needs to shift

quite dramatically and there's a lot of good alternatives to that.

So with all that purpose welcome to thank you for joining us today Georgian.
