Re: Anyone doing saliva hormone levels? Bio-identical hormone treatment?From: Joanne Bulley, MD (islesannie@yahoo.com)Wed Jul 28 19:07:35 2004
I think it is just a great gimmick the marketers have put for for the baby boomers into all this "if it is natural it must be better" thing. I spend a good bit of time teaching the patient about the hormonal cycle - with different levels every day - so any measurement is only that point in time - and says nothing about where she is with regards to menopause. Then there is the time spent on estradiol is estradiol - and do you want it from a place that has to keep detailed records on production etc etc and quality control. But .. having said all that .. many are so anti-doctor and anything else must be better -- that they are willing to pay big big big bucks. Joanne

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
