Shocking Information (HRT - production)

[NeenBand 7]

Exactly Penni. Hats off to you.

I'm not going to debate aggressive posts to those here of opposing views. It's a waste of energy and I don't engage it.

Folks, if the information doesn't call to you then move on and leave people to their own moral and ethical convictions.

`nuff said.

I stopped using Premarin once I found out where it came from.

I had a surgical menopause at the age of 27. This simply means that I had a complete hysterectomy at that age which threw me into early menopause. I took Premarin for years till I did a research paper on it when I started Nursing school and the side effects scared the shit out of me. So I stopped taking everything.

I have NOT taken any HRT for over 15 years now. I take extra Calcium to help prevent Osteoporosis along with Actinel. I don't smoke. There is a history of Breast Cancer in our family so I get regular mammograms (this Friday as a matter of fact). UGH!!! I also am working diligently to get a better diet started without all the preservatives in todays meals. I also try to get in my Water to help flush my system and hydrate my cells.

I have NOT had hot flashes in years. The Estroven helped when I did have them. But there are Herbs that can help as well.

:amen: Thank you penni for getting this back on the subject, if something is "Slight off subject" then it needs a thread of it own.

I take the Extra Stregnth Estroven for my hot flashes...but couldnt get them thru the band.

So I started using a pill cutter and that works great...no more hot flashes and night sweats.
