(AP) - This Oct. 16, 2009 photo shows audiologist Elizabeth Alsgaard outside of her home in the Playa Vista area of Los Angeles.

What former actress Suzanne Somers raved about held much more appeal ; custom-mixed 'bioidentical' hormones, just like ones the body makes. For years, medical groups have warned against custom-compounded hormones.
