Patient Advocates Ltd

Welcome to Patient Advocates Hormones can be described as molecules which implement signaling to tissues, much the way a catalyst works in a chemical reaction. Natural hormones are made from DIOSGENIN, an extract from the wild yam or soy plants, which is then converted in the laboratory to the same molecular structure as the body's own hormones. To create hormonal balance for the individual, bio-identical (natural) hormones are used in biological (normal healthy) doses for each person's requirements as identified by symptoms and laboratory results. Commonly recommended natural hormones are:

• Progesterone
• DHEA
• Thyroid
• Testosterone
• Oestrogen
• Melatonin

Renowned Researchers and Doctors associated with natural hormone therapy are:

• Sandra Cabot
• John Lee
• Jonathan Wright
• Katarina Dalton
• Chritiana Northrup
• Susan Rako
• Fenton Bennett

Patient Advocates history For two years from 1996-98 Felicity Sinden worked as the practice nurse with Dr Fenton Bennett, a leading Uro-Gynaecologist who introduced Bio-identical hormones and the Patient Advocate concept to New Zealand, after seeing its success in America. When Dr Bennett died in 1998, several GP's asked Felicity to continue the work she was doing with women who needed time and follow-up to help with their peri-menopause and menopause symptoms. This has now extended to helping men also. Felicity has over 30 years of nursing experience.

Patient Advocates have seen over 22,000 patients to date. They do not advertise but rely on word of mouth from existing and past patients. We have a dedicated team of Advocates with backgrounds in nursing, natural therapies and biochemistry with in-depth knowledge of hormonal issues. No referral is necessary for an appointment to see us. Following an initial consultation and salivary or blood test, the role of the Advocate is to determine a possible course of action and to inform both Patient and Doctor regarding natural hormone replacement and related therapies.
