We, the undersigned, request that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) begin human clinical trials on the enormous health benefits of a balance of ovarian hormones in preventing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a devastating disease that robs women of their independence and livelihood. Without question, osteoporosis would be eradicated if the importance of ovarian function to a woman’s overall well-being were recognized. It is time the NIH worked toward preventing diseases brought on by ovarian failure (menopause) such as osteoporosis.
