Bioidentical hormones has basically become a catch all phrase for anything that is not a synthetic hormone. What the word actually means is commonly applied to look-alike molecules derived from “natural” plants that are substituted for our own endogenously-produced hormone molecules. So “natural” or bioidentical hormones are made in a laboratory. How? By converting natural plant compounds from wild yams and soybeans into chemical molecules that are identical to those made in the human body (17-beta estradiol, progesterone, or testosterone hormones.)

In actuality, these sources of plant hormones mimic the chemical structure of hormones produced by a human body, with the premise that the body can’t distinguish these "created" bio-identical hormones from the ones the female ovaries "produce" on their own naturally.

Bio-identical hormones are available in standardized tablets, patches, compounded creams, gels and injectable prescriptions.

The article stated, "Transdermal delivery of estrogen therapy available by prescription "seems not to alter" the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clotting, in postmenopausal patients when compared to oral delivery, a new study suggests. The study was conducted by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and was published in the latest issue of Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society."

Transdermal - delivered via the skin - estrogen therapy is bioidentical to estrogen produced by a woman's ovaries before menopause. Transdermal estrogen comes in a variety of formulations and they are approved safe and effective by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

A team of researchers at NYU Langone wanted to determine the effects of delivery of estrogen therapy on postmenopausal women, so blood obtained from 84 postmenopausal women was tested for clotting activity before and after administration of oral or transdermal estrogen. This took place over eight weeks.

According to ScienceDaily, "The women with borderline clotting issues showed 'a significant acceleration' of clotting after the oral estrogen therapy, but no significant change after transdermal estrogen therapy."

The article quoted researcher Lila Nachtigall, M.D., Director of the Women's Wellness Program at NYU. "These new data on the safety of transdermal HT delivery may prove to be useful information for postmenopausal women deciding whether to take estrogen therapy and whether to take it orally or through the skin."

The Wiley Protocol (WP)is not only taransdermal, but also rhythmic and biomimetic. Here's the exact differences between the Wiley Protocol bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the others. The WP is based on the premise that bio-identical hormones are only bio-identical if the hormones for replacement mimic, not only those found in the body, but mimic the natural biological process too -- meaning that they are dosed in a biomimetic fashion – with the body's natural rhythm.

Biomimetic hormones, the scientifically accurate term, are derived from plant sources and mimic the natural wavelike rhythms of the hormone blood levels in the menstrual cycle of a healthy woman in her prime. This natural rhythm that is missing from all other bio-identical and synthetic hormone replacement therapies.

Listen to this Podcast by Dr. Steven Dalton, a physician certified by the American Board of Family Practice, practices in Lubbock TX. He recently attended the T.S. Wiley Two Days Back on Earth environmental endocrinology seminar. Dr. Dalton states the most important benefits for his patients on the Wiley Protocol are that they not only feel better, they sleep better, they have increased energy, a better sex life, their hot flashes are gone, and overall they are much happier. "We've replaced hormones for the past roughly 20 years, and we've used all methods. We've used pills, we've used patches,creams, injectables, pretty much any method out there, and by far, the best method that we've ever tried is the Wiley Protocol. Plain and simple.

It was the year 2006 when the oldest of the baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, began turning 60 years old. (Source: The US Census Bureau) What's more at that time there were an estimated 78.2 million baby boomers, and 50.8 percent of them were women. Today as we near the year 2010 another boomer turns 50 every 7 seconds.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many women today who are so uncomfortable with menopause symptoms. Do you have any of the following symptoms?
- Irritability?
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats?
- Lack of libido?
- Hair Loss?
- Insomnia?
- Dry wrinkled skin?
- Depression?

You might be one of more than 40 million women experiencing discomfort from menopause, so then you need to know the facts. Menopause is the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. It marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, and usually occurs naturally around age 51 to 52 when the ovaries stop producing estrogen. Menopause affects women’s health and quality of life for the remainder of her lifetime.

This is why so many smart women today are taking bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. And the Wiley Protocol is rhythmic biomimetic bioidentical hormone restoration therapy, backed by science.

Wiley Systems is introducing two new Wiley Protocol rhythms at the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) this week from November 4-8, 2009 at the Rio Las Vegas hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The rhythmic protocols include Snooz™ - Seasonal Neuroendocrine Optimal Organizational Zeitgeber; Melatonin, and Sparc™ Therapy - Seasonal Pulsatile Adrenal Recalibration; Cortisol capsules. These protocols will be available doctors and pharmacists by December 1, 2009.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. Cortisol is produced by the pituitary gland makes adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal gland, which produces Cortisol. If a person doesn’t have enough ACTH to stimulate the adrenal gland to make Cortisol, or if the adrenal gland is not able to make Cortisol, this person will need to take Cortisol replacement therapy.

“The rhythm of nature is so internalized that every molecular action of every hormone to its receptor, on every gene in every cell, functioning in every organ of your body, hears the cosmic tune,” said T.S. Wiley, author and developer of the Wiley Protcol. “Cortisol, insulin, melatonin, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone all play like the keys of a grand piano in response to environmental sheet music.”

If you are around 45 years of age and up, and are experiencing any of these hormone imbalance symptoms, then you may need bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Hormone imbalance symptoms can be any one or more of the following: anxiety, allergy symptoms, depression, dizziness, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, foggy brain, hair loss, headaches, low libido, osteoporosis, urinary tract infections, weight gain, and dry wrinkled skin. In other words, all the frailties of old age.

The symptoms of hormone imbalance are caused primarily by the incorrect relationship between progesterone and estrogen levels in the body. The two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, exist in a delicate balance. Variations in that balance can have a dramatic effect on your health, resulting in symptoms of hormone imbalance. The amounts of these hormones that the woman's body produces from month to month can vary, depending on factors such as stress, nutrition, exercise and most importantly -- ovulation or the lack of ovulation.

Author T.S. Wiley, who wrote the book Sex, Lies, and Menopause, researched, is also a researcher who examined and identified the fact that if we don’t replace our hormones, we will face debilitation, or the falling off of hormones that you experience in perimenopause when hormones drop you back to the same range that you rose through in the period between adrenarchy and puberty. As your estrogen decreases into that same range again, you may still have regular periods, or periods that come at fairly regular intervals. The reality is that you are no longer ovulating, otherwise known as … no you can’t get pregnant These peri-menopausal periods are like the ones you experienced as your reproductive engine was revving up the first time. At that time, your adrenal glands were trying to jump-start your brain to turn on the burners in your ovaries. Once the ovaries kicked in, you had enough estrogen generated by a full egg basket to run for at least twenty years.

Once you are in middle age, you have just enough estrogen to make a real thin lining in your uterus but not enough to peak. That is why in perimenopause, your periods get shorter, your breasts lumpier, and your mind foggy. If you don’t peak estrogen with regularity, you are in perimenopause. In the end, the loss of this rhythm in perimenopause actually triggers the destruction of the rest of your eggs, through the action of excessive FSH, using up the remainder of your eggs. Ad at around this time, you get hot flashes, and that’s how your system effectively shuts down for good. This entire process can take up to ten years.

The clinical diagnosis of menopause is finding in your blood work of an FSH score higher than five (5). You too can stop this destruction of old age, get rid of the symptoms of hormone imbalance and menopause and achieve feedback and shut off FSH with estrogen replacement. But you can only try to fool nature by covering the fact that you are missing eggs if you replace the hormones that they would generate in exactly the amounts and rhythm in which they would occur. This is the premise behind the Wiley Protocol rhythmic, bioidentical hormone therapy.

One Wiley Protocol user named Liana said, “I want to thank you for giving me my life back. I had experienced more than a year of sleep deprivation due to hormone-related insomnia and hot flashes, and this was taking a very serious toll on my ability to function: mentally, emotionally and physically. I was completely exhausted and had little to no coping skills.

Then I happened to meet a woman in her 50s who looked great – in fact, she GLOWED – and when we got to talking about menopausal symptoms she mentioned that she had been on the Wiley Protocol for quite some time. I went on the Wiley Protocol and after three or four months I experienced my first full night of restful, unbroken, deliciously deep sleep. The hot flashes stopped, I have my usual energy again, I don’t wake up in the middle of the night to pee, and the little squidge around my middle has disappeared. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.”
