I mean, I thought we'd open with something small and really easy to answer.

Well, I think the biggest fear is about hormone replacement therapy is its association with breast cancer.

I think that fear is periodically stoked on a regular basis.

If it isn't breast cancer, it's ovarian cancer.

If it isn't ovarian cancer, there was even an article, a presentation relating hormones to lung cancer or lung cancer deaths, all of which are not true.

But every time somebody waves that red flag in a theater, people pay attention.

And in case you thought that there was a reason to take hormones, when the Women's Health Initiative first published their result in July of 2002, They said it really doesn't do anything good, and it does a lot of bad things.

Yeah.

But if they ask for estrogen or hormones, it's almost like, well, no, that's, you know, Since we published

the first edition of our book in 2018, I've gotten letters not just from around the United States, but from all over the world.

The book has now been translated into Spanish and German and Chinese.

And there's a Polish edition that's coming out soon.

And I get letters from Bangladesh and Senegal, all over the world.

And it's the same thing.

Uh, Eric Winer, and I've mentioned Eric Winer several times.

Eric Winer is a very, uh, interesting oncologist.

Eric was, uh, born with hemophilia, and when he was a very young boy, he got Factor VIII, which can help save the lives of hemophiliacs, which also caused him to get an HIV infection.

And so he's been treated for that.

Yeah.
