Manning Wants Hormone Therapy In Prison. Will It Happen?

Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition. Right now, Army policy suggests there’s a lot of space between requesting hormone therapy and actually receiving it. At the same time, recent case law might make Manning’s argument a bit stronger, after other inmates have successfully petitioned their facilities for treatment. Manning was sentenced to serve 35 years at Fort Leavenworth Prison, a military prison in Kansas. A spokeswoman for the facility has already told the “Today Show” that”the Army does not provide hormone therapy or sex-reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder.” In response, Manning’s lawyer, David Coombs, told the same program that, “If Fort Leavenworth does not, then I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure they are forced to do so.” If Coombs does seek legal action, it wouldn’t be unprecedented.

Can hormone therapy help protect the brain?

I don’t know the specific stats for osteoporosis developing post-hysterectomy but for heart disease the stats are 3 times risk when the uterus is removed and 7.2 times when the uterus and ovaries are removed (castr*tion). Medical studies show that premenopausal or postmenopausal removal of ovaries increases risks of heart disease, stroke, hip fracture, Parkinsonism, dementia, cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety. With all the harm evident from hysterectomy and the 300,000+ annual removal of healthy ovaries, the media SHOULD BE all over this. And since ACOG deems 76% of these surgeries to be inappropriately recommended, they should be coming down on surgeons who’re guilty of this abuse. BTW I assume you’re a medical doctor?

Paracetamol Improves Exercise Endurance

The research team have previously shown that paracetamol can improve endurance performance through a reduction in exercise-induced pain. This study suggests, for the first time, that paracetamol can also improve the length of time someone can exercise for in hot conditions. The data suggests that this is achieved by reducing the body’s temperature during exercise, which subsequently improves their tolerance to exercise in the heat. To perform the research, a group of healthy, male participants ingested single doses of paracetamol or a placebo, before cycling at a fixed intensity for as long as they could in hot conditions. During the exercise, measures of core and skin temperature were recorded alongside the participants’ perception of the heat. As the study was performed in humans, with a common over-the counter drug, the implications are far reaching. Dr Lex Mauger, who led the study at The University of Kent’s School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, explains: “Firstly, consideration by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and local anti-doping authorities should be made about the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in sport – on both health and performance grounds.
