These are plant compounds that mimic
human estrogen.
According to Lise Alschuler, author of the Definitive Guide To Cancer: An Integrative Approach to Prevention, Treatment, and Healing, studies on flax lignans demonstrate safety and efficacy in their use against breast cancer, «inhibiting the growth of

Pregnant mares» urine is natural, but Premarin is not bioidentical, at least not to
