Hiram,
Thanks for your reply. Are you a pharmacist or M.D.?
It doesn't really matter, just curious.
Anyway, i'm interested in what you said about homeopathics.
In my experience, this is much more common on the East and
West Coasts, particularly among the crystal/granola set.
Is there any data available showing a sizeable shift
away from "ethical" drugs to homeopathics? If anything,
i see the shift as being to plant products, synthetically
produced amino acids, and synthetically produced human
hormones/transmitters (melatonin) and steroid-like compounds
(DHEA).
Also, herbalism and life-extension/smart-drugs are interests
of mine for a number of years. Among the life-extension crowd
there is a lot of older-woman interest in using progesterone
creams and oral tablets containing the same mix of estrogens
found in *human* women--as opposed to the *horse* estrogens of
Premarin.
Do you or any others here want to comment on "natural"
hormone supplementation (i.e. progesterone and human estrogens)
as posing an alternative to Evista?
BTW, i had a day order to buy LLY @60 at market open today,
and it sure looks like i won't get a fill! Not going to chase
it though, because some funds might decide to unload and sell
into the rally. Based on the chart, with good support at 60,
it seems there is more up-side than downside buying at that price.
Cheers,
David |
