women with complaints of flushing or night sweats have an unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile compared

Hot flashes reduced with weight loss in those not taking HRT. Reduced fat equals reduced inflammation equals reduced hot flashes/night sweats. The more inflamed an individual, the more prevalent/significant the hot flashes.
Study finds non-hormonal therapy to manage hot flashes in postmenopausal women--drug them. The authors of this study, looked to gabapentin, also known as neurontin to treat hot flashes. Instead of looking at the causes: hormone imbalance, stress... these authors looked to a sedating drug. The dosing of neurontin was 900 mg. Most can't stand at this dose. This study points to the lunacy in the research today. Very soon, there will be the walking dead among us. They will be the walking doped instead of dead.
