When a dream comes through…

Abstract

This is a follow-up of a paper ‘‘My dream'' published in Climacteric (2004;7:322–3) in which it was imagined that the WHI investigators would one day apologize to the women of the world for the unjustified damage they has caused with the misinterpretation of the WHI results. Time has shown that this is about to happen as the recent reanalysis of the study show that, contrary to what they had written, HRT does protect from cardiovascular diseases when started in the early postmenopause. Furthermore comments are made about the political background of the reported results as a disservice to the medical community and to the women, themselves.
