I choose this method because it is the method that has been used since I began. I approached my Dr. about the saliva testing, and was told that it was a good test but, being that I have been doing the blood work all along that we should stick with it. Catalina, go ahead, please. My confusion is about the tests. I do not know of saliva tests for estrogen other than estradiol.
Saliva testing is relatively new, but so far it holds promise.
Pazz, go ahead. Paz, good question, mainly because they are still exploring the many areas of health that it affects, and it may be a year or two before conclusive results are in. There are some even on the web site that offer many studies that inform us of the benefits, and symposiums that I personally follow that inform us of these things, but I guess they are of a different world, one that is not jumping on the band wagon to make a buck. They want to be thorough and concise and sure with evidence supporting these issues. First it will possibly offer you protection from breast cancer, and it will help gain a balance of the hormones.
