Dr. Provorse will present the Wiley Protocol, an approach to hormone replacement that mimics the body's natural cycle. Unlike replacment regimens which deliver the same dose of hormones each day (birth control pills, most topical creams, most thyroid prescriptions), this "biomimetic" system attempts to replicate the beautifully complex process of the endocrine system. By varying the amount of hormones over the course of a lunar/monthly cycle, one can more accurately restore hormones to their natural, wave-like rhythms.
This seminar will be hosted by Pacific Compounds Pharmacy which is a Registered Provider of The Wiley Protocol, a compounded natural, topical hormone regimen. The seminar will be held at Pacific Compounds Pharmacy at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009. The price to attend is $15.00, reservations are required and may be made by calling: 503-640-3080. A FREE copy of T. S. Wiley's book "Sex, Lies and Menopause" will be given to one lucky attendee of this seminar.
Dr. Rebecca Provorse is a naturopathic physician in private practice in Portland, Oregon. Her interest in women's health began in undergraduate school, where she studied biology and anthropology and was a member of Asklepiads (a pre-medical honor society).
In medical school she worked for three years under the tutelage of a women's health expert. In 2004, Dr. Provorse graduated from the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland with a master's degree in Oriental Medicine and a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. After completing her board exams, Dr. Provorse spent six months studying bio-identical hormone replacement in the clinical practice of another colleague. In 2005 she began her own private practice in NW Portland. Her business, Glow. Healthcare for Women, LLC, has a focus of natural healthcare for females: puberty through menopause. Her interest is in endocrine disorders. Dr. Provorse began providing the Wiley Protocol to her patients in 2006, where--for some time-- she was the only WP practitioner in the state of Oregon.
Dr. Provorse believes in patient education and empowerment. She works closely with her patients as a primary care provider or healthcare ally to ensure they have what they need to make informed choices about their health. In addition to hormone replacement, she utilizes nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture and hydrotherapy as treatment modalities in her practice.

Dr. Jan Seibert - Study on Bio-Identical Hormones
Since my bio-identical hormone study was covered in the media back in 2006, why do so many women and men continue to struggle with hormonal imbalances that can lead to aging and chronic diseases - hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, hypothyroidism, memory problems, vaginal dryness, enlarged prostate, weight gain, depression, and more?
View the study.
The purpose of my study was to rally the medical research community and pharmaceutical companies who make FDA approved bio-identical hormones to embark on long-term bio-identical hormone studies. The claims made by the FDA, the medical community, and the pharmaceutical industry that these types of hormones have no long term studies - well the environment is ripe to do something about this gap in researching safety information for long-term usage.
Must we have to rely on Oprah to open the doors by bringing on television medical experts to educate the public on their hormonal health and bio-identical hormone options? Oprah viewers are now demanding that their hormones be measured and that they be treated for their symptoms. The medical profession owes it to the public to sort out this gap of research information for all, including the 50 million women who will be in menopause by 2010.
What about the needs of men - who is looking after their hormonal needs? Has the doping scandal in major league baseball closed the door on the low testosterone issue facing 1 in every 4 men over the age of 30?
We need to balance the hormones of both women and men as they age. After all, if hormones cause cancer, then women and men under the age of 30 who have the highest levels of sex hormones should be the ones having the highest rates of breast, ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancers.
A change is needed in our current medical treatment model- focusing on prevention of hormonal imbalances. The laboratory technology is available and needs to look at tighter ranges of hormone levels based on age levels. In other words, women in their twenties who show low levels of progesterone in the second half of their menstrual cycles may need bio-identical hormones to balance their deficiencies.
So be your own health care advocate. To have your voices heard - speak up - to your doctor -ask for your hormones to be tested and treated for symptoms with ongoing monitoring; to your medical insurance company to provide coverage for regular hormone testing and prescription compounded bio-identical hormones in appropriate dosages and delivery systems to meet your needs; to your elected government officials to halt the FDA from taking away your compounded bio-identical hormones.
