Your doctor doesn’t know about bioidentical hormones. He thinks that the breast cancer risk is worth the benefits of the synthetic hormone replacement. However, the provera negates the heart benefits of the estrogen. It lowers HDL and raises LDL. Provera is directly linked to breast cancer. And it suppresses thyroid function.
