          How we use Hormone Replacement Therapy:

  • First and foremost, we believe in the ancient wisdom: DO NO HARM. We take this principle very seriously. We work with what your body needs and what it is telling us. We don't invent illnesses just to give you medications. We try to avoid drugs, to get you back to a natural state of what your body needs. We listen to your body, not only numbers on a chart, to tell us what you need to make you feel younger, healthier and happier.
  • By the Numbers: Even though we aren't going solely by the lab results only, Doctor Kalitenko is still a licensed medical doctor. He thoroughly uses both Eastern and Western styles of medicine and can help you make an informed choice. Eastern medicine isn't all about meditation and magic, like some people think. There are numbers and there are charts and there is a scientific and practical program that we do follow in your best health interests.
  • Dr. Kalitenko is a patient, too. Dr. Kalitenko is walking proof that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works!  He knows firsthand the trials and tribulations of people suffering from hormonal imblanance, as well as the physical and mental concerns with taking on something like this.
  • We only do bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical means that we use hormones that are chemically identical to your own. Your body knows what to do with them. We stay away from hormones with molecular structure different from our own, because our body does not respond to them and flush them properly, so their effect is not natural and their breakdown product may be harmful.
  • We give natural physiologic hormone doses to avoid toxicity and your own gland suppression.
  • We advise to take hormones everyday because we want you to enjoy every day life without ups and downs and downs.  With a program that includes supplements, neurotransmitter balancing and other helpful life changing advice, this hormone support can have amazing results.
  • We also avoid hormone pills to help protect your liver.
  • We offer a complimentary consultation, personally with Dr. Kalitenko, where he will hear from you one on one what your issues are, and explain the process to you, so that you can make an informed and educated decision on whether or not you choose to go forward and change your life.

We understand how scary it is to begin a treatment like this. And, we agree that it's not something that you should just jump into. That's why we encourage you to learn as much as you can, to talk to us, ask us any questions, express any concerns you have.

This is not an easy decision. It isn't cheap either. But you can get ten cheap services that will never work and end up spending more in the long run. This is a commitment to a better you, and you need to be ready for that challenge. Let us help you!

New study suggests, that bioidential hormones are safer than traditional HRT

The Comprehensive analysis of medical studies and literature, performed by Holtorf Medical group in California and published in January 2009 in Postgraduate Medicine found, that bioidentical hormones are safer, then traditional HRT. The study concludes: 'Physiological data and clinical outcomes demonstrate that bioidentical hormones are associated with lower risks, including the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and are more efficacious than their synthetic and animal-derived counterparts. Until evidence is found to the contrary, bioidentical hormones remain the preferred method of HRT. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to delineate these differences more clearly.

French Cohort Study found that Bioidentical Hormones are safer that conventional HRT.  French scientists were unable to detect increased risk of breast cancer in the patients,receiving Bioidentical Hormones compared to general population.  You can check it by reading the original study:

Combined hormone replacement therapy and risk of breast cancer in a French cohort study of 3175 women. de Lignières B, de Vathaire F, Fournier S, Urbinelli R, Allaert F, Le MG, Kuttenn F. Service d'Endocrinologie et Médecine de la Reproduction, Hôpital Necker, Paris, France

But what do we do if we do not have long term studies so far? Let see what experts say:

" I always tell clinicians, that until we have definite randomized trial data -- which we may never have -- whatever patient wants to do is the correct decision".

Dr. Speroff is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Oregon Health and Science University and a sub-specialist in reproductive endocrinology one of the most respected GYN doctors in the country.

He is the founder and recently stepped down as director for the Women's Health Research Unit at OHSU.  Doctor Speroff has gained prominence in the area of women's health throughout his publications, national and international lectures and extensive work on clinical trials.

Testosterone replacement therapy was found safe!

The study done by Aksam Yassin, MD PhD of the Clinic of Urology and Andrology of the Segeberger Clinics in Norderstedt, Germany, confirms, that testosterone treatment does not induce prostate cancer.There is a speculation that it may stimulate the growth of existing tumor. However the study found, that men, who were treated with testosterone, had less aggressive tumors, than men, who were not treated with testosterone. This fact supports the hypothesis, that prostate cancer may be caused not testosterone itself, but increase in estrogen level in older  men.

They could not find the increased risk for prostate cancer because of testosterone in the United Sates either. Check the review article from New York:
