Need for wife

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend swears by yam creams after years of

HRT, pills, pills and more pills. Sorry I don't have

a brand, but a reputable health food store would carry this.

take ERP therapy for it and I back her up on that choice. However we

have tried a few things natural, but none have worked. I think the

one thing she tried was the cream she rubbed in her thiey. anyway. I

was wondering if someone could list SEVERAL ideas because the first

may not work and we may have to try another. if its ok could u name

the product that we can goto the health food store to get that has

the mix of herbs already mixed up, like a brand name, it will be

easier for us to know what to look for that way. she is desperate to

get relief from the rapid cold to hot she goes through.

 

many thanks.

Femtrol by Enzymatic (black cohash and other herbs) and Evening primrose

oil, and Vit E complex, were of great help to me. Control group of one. ME!

Dear Poneyboy,

First I would like to thank you for having such

concern for your wife. Something very extreme was done

to her. Her uterus was cut out, probably her ovaries

as well. This is akin to a man have his testes

removed, so you can probably imagine how that might

affect your hormones.

In Silent Passage, a book about menopause, the

author states that 30% of woman in America have their

uterus removed, so your wife is not alone.

I wish we could all take a minute to reflect on

the daily suffering this woman and millions of others

are experiencing, suffering which you state minimally

and politely. This is outrageous and unnatural that

women are being mutilated in this way! The library has

many books for survivors of this butchery. It will

help in the psychological healing process to know that

there are many others suffering in a similar way.

The truth is, it is a huge trauma to have a major

organ system removed, especially one so necessary for

hormonal function.

 

Dr. Lee is famous for his knowledge about

menopause, which is essentially what a woman is

plunged into when her uterus and ovaries are removed.

This might be a good place to start.

I guess this could be seen as a wake up call to

pay more attention to one's overall health,

nutrition, exercise, toxins (cigarettes,

alcohol,preservatives, etc, etc, etc) Improving your

overall health can only help. Alternative Medicine

Forum is full of info to get you started. It's some

work, but you are worth it.

And whatever else you do in the coming years, hang

onto your body parts! Your gallbladder may be their

next target.
