[QUOTE="J. Keith Nichols MD, post: 71235, member: 15691"] apologies if you felt insulted in any way. We have all been programmed to focus on E2. If no studies show benefit in blocking (lowering) E2 why would we want to lower it ? If no studies show harm in raising E2 with T why would in need to measure it? If a patient were to experience symptoms of E2 excess then I would treat with a AI until symptoms resolvemthen discontinue. I also treat many women in my practice so the importance of E2 is one of my personal interests. If we know from the literature that E2 improves cognition, protects against Alzheimer's disease, decreases visceral body fat, maintains bone strength, is apoptotic to prostate cancer cells, protects against heart attacks and strokes, improves our lipid profiles, among many other benefits then why do we want to block it? It is hard to move away from what we have been programmed to think for so long. Vergel also understands the importance of E2. My E2 is 75. If you have no symptoms of E2 excess then leave it alone and quit worrying about if because it is only providing you with benefits [/QUOTE]
