Dr. John Monaco Discusses Bio-Identical Hormones for Women and Men
B
ryce Rx Laboratories, Inc. is pleased to welcome Dr. John Mo- naco of the Monaco Center for Health & Healing for a discussion on bio-identical hormones for women and men on May 5th at 7pm at Bryce Rx Labs, 30 Buxton Farms Rd in Stamford. Hormones…the very word makes you think of cancer and bad side-effects. However, not all hormones are created equal. Synthetic hormones taken orally have very different effects in the body than natural bio-identical hormones administered topically (through the skin) in cream form. Oral hormones are metabolized through the liver and can have adverse effects on that organ. All of the posi- tive effects of balanced hormones on cholesterol, growth hormone, blood pressure, blood clotting, etc. are negated by oral synthetic hormones.
As early as age 35 women and men see declines in all hor- mones: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, growth hormone, dHEA, thyroid, pregnenolone, and adrenal hormones. The effect of this inevitable decline in hormone function is a rise in the diseases of aging: diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and mental decline. In short, we age because our hormones decline. There is a mountain of medical research that illustrates the dangers of hormone loss. By the time a women enters menopause, she may have already experienced two decades of hormonal imbalance and estrogen dominance. After menopause, when all hormone levels decrease significantly, aging women are at an increased risk of major diseases. To register, call 800-798-7279 or email

Cost $20. The Milkman is Back
Your personal milkman at The Milkman Company delivers farm fresh foods and dairy products directly to your door
T
he Milkman Company delivers only the best tasting products that we can obtain lo- cally, because the taste matters to you and because the taste can indicate how well the herds, crops and soil were treated. We intentionally seek out the family farms that allow their herds to graze in open pastures. We avoid farms that routinely use growth hormones or antibiotics on their animals. We buy from the most humane and sustainably managed farms because we drink this milk ourselves. We seek out farmers practicing or- ganic and sustainable farming because we like knowing that we are consuming less of the chemicals spread around by the typical corporate farm.
We at the Milkman Company have visited the local farms. We have met the farmers and their animals. We have visited the pastures and the milking barns. We have visited the various facilities for bottling milk and cream, and making yogurt, cheese and butter. We have visited farms that raise our eggs and meat. We have done what most of you would do to find out where your food is coming from. It can be serious work, but we enjoy our jobs. We believe that we feel better when we consume our locally produced dairy products. Raw milk, low temperature pasteurization, organic farming, probiotics, and other product choices are yours to make. Organic and sustainable farming practices put less pesticide, her- bicide and chemical fertilizer in the environment and us. The results are yours to evaluate.
