Where can I get natural hormones for Menopause?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I had a total hysterectomy when I was 27. I have been on an Estrogen

patch for the past 6 years (synthetic). My doctor took me off of the

patch when I told her that my Mother had a pre-cancerous lump in her

breast, and my Grandmother died of breast cancer. I am researching in

hopes of finding a natural source of horomones. I know that I need

hormone replacement--I have never felt the same since I had my surgery,

and I think that I am too young to be without hormones for so long--the

lack of them cannot be good for my body.

The doctor also tried to put me on an anti-depressant. She said that I

would need it since I am not on Estrogen anymore. I refused to take it--

I cringe to think of the poisions that the patch put into my body, and

I certainly did not what to take anything else synthetic. I also think

that giving me a anti-depressant was just " putting a band-aid " on my

symptoms. It does not address the source of the problem.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? I would

really appreciate any information that anyone would have to share.

Thank you.
