Ron Rothenberg, MD, Hormone Myths versus Medical Evidence
Formerly a Clinical Professor in Family and Preventive Medicine at UCSD
School of Medicine, he has authored numerous publications in Emergency
Medicine and Preventive Regenerative Medicine. He is actively involved as
an educator, and over 50,000 physicians have attended his seminars from
1975-2009. He has continued as an Attending Physician at Scripps Memorial
Hospital in Encinitas, California from 1980 to the present.
He will discuss a number of "myths" regarding hormones.
Myth 1. Thyroid is dangerous for the heart.
Myth 2. Testosterone causes prostate cancer to grow.
Myth 3. Testosterone causes angry and aggressive behavior.
Myth 4. Growth hormone causes cancer (it may, however, help tumors
progress).
Myth 5. Adult growth hormone deficiency is only seen in patients with
severe multiple pituitary deficiencies since childhood.
Myth 6. Progesterone treatment is only for menopausal women who have a
uterus.
Myth 7. Progesterone equals progestin.
Myth 8. The many vitamin D myths. Research over the past decade has found
many health benefits for vitamin D and that the amount available from food
or casual solar UVB irradiance is woefully inadequate; it takes 1000-5000
or more IU/day for optimal health.
This should be an interesting program with a medical doctor who has
studied these topics for years, both in his practice and in reading the
journal literature.
