Each year, millions of women take Premarin, a drug prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of menopause and once believed to prevent osteoporosis. While the NIH (National Institute of Health) has exposed many of the serious risks associated with HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) there remains an untold story of the dark side of the industry...
What many of these women don't realize is that Premarin is derived from pregnant mare urine. (PREgnant MAre uRINe), and that the mares used to produce the urine are kept in inhumane conditions. Because these mares are perpetually impregnated, the foals they produce must continually be disposed of. Most are sold for slaughter and shipped to Europe and Asia for human consumption. The pain and suffering of these innocent creatures is all the more tragic when realizing that it is entirely unnecessary.
With very little effort, you can help us put an end to this tragedy.
Many natural and synthetic alternatives to Premarin already exist, and have been found to be effective in treating the symptoms of menopause.
