Back in the day, estrogen was prescribed only for women who were experiencing serious problems with menopause. Then a 1966 book called “Feminine Forever” argued that estrogen therapy was good for almost every middle-aged female on the planet who wanted to avoid morphing into a crone. The idea grew in popularity even after evidence mounted that the author had been paid by an estrogen manufacturer.

Money and Big pharma have helped to corrupt the oath of Hippocrates.

There are many natural food and substances which can cure diseases but fortunately they cannot be patented eg. coconut oil (provren to benefit alzeimers and moods) and turmeric (good for anti-inflamation and as a very powerful anti-oxidant). Big pharma would rather have people live with ill-health so they can benefit rather than us.
