Thure:
Interesting concept. I do think premarin is advertised in some form.
Since its got a strangle hold on the market ,it doesn't need to do much of it.
There is a fine line in advertising were you can be sued if you disparage a competitors product, however if the ad is "funny" or a parody of the other product it is generally not a punishable matter.
It would be fun to see what an advertising firm could do with it.
lets hope we get the chance to find out. This first product doesn't yet claim to replace premarin except in the relief of certain "symptoms". More trials are needed to be able to backup claims that it can replace the whole range of uses.
For Example my wifes doctor did not want to have her switch away from premarin because none of the replacements have long term studies about "bone density loss". i sent him all the information regarding the mistreatment of animals and the corresponding DRs statements that Alternative products were and are becoming available,, but we have a long road ahead to get some of the older Drs to take any kind of a chance . they will continue to prescribe what they are familiar with until the medical journals publish new data on conjugated estrogens. Even then it will depend on the salespeople who call on them and what that reps. firm carries.
Time is what this will require. In stocks a person is supposed to be in ahead of the crowd... I think we are in plenty early.
