One and half year later

It's been over a year and half since I started to take Wild Yam Cream progesterone cream and about a year since I started to take various Enrich supplements. I have not gotten sick since, lost 17 lb. and I feel much healthier.

I have learned to:
  • Adapt to the fluctuating need for progesterone and estrogen,
  • Reduce and control weight,
  • Reduce and control inflammation, oxidation damages, and rebuild weakened and damaged tissues in my entire body. My back problems are vastly improved and my sleep is improving.

  • You do not have to go back to estrogen replacement therapy to stop hot flashes.
    About 2 months after I stopped taking estrogen, the hot flashes became so strong during the 5 day break from the progesterone cream, that I decided not to take the break. My symptoms included hot flashes and strong constricting or tightening sensations in veins above my naval and around my head which caused headaches. First, I applied Wild Yam Cream (progesterone cream) more frequently to control the sensation. After a while the symptoms became weaker and more tolerable. Later I tried Black Cohosh to control hot flashes and Licorice to facilitate estrogen production. I found out Licorice alone with increased application of Wild Yam Cream works quite well for me. I can actually feel the estrogen surge in my breast. If you are small built, or your adrenal glands are stressed out, you may need some help to produce enough estrogen from progesterone. (Dr. Lee recommends a low dose of estrogen when your condition warrants.)

  • The role of Licorice in hormone balance
    The adrenal cortex produces many important life sustaining/stress fighting hormones from progesterone and DHEA. Licorice helps the adrenals do the job. The hormones produced in the adrenal cortex include:

    This means when you are under stress, you need more progesterone along with magnesium, zinc and vitamin C to balance your hormones.

    If you are having hot flashes, the first thing to try is Wild Yam Cream, if it is not enough, then add Licorice. Wild Yam Cream does contain Licorice in addition to natural progesterone. It is enough for some people to stop hot flashes, but some people need more. If that is not satisfactory, then you might want to add Black Cohosh or Meno (Enrich menopause formula).
    Note: Sudden bursts of LH (luteinizing hormone) have been linked to the occurrence of hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations, headaches, and the drying and thinning of the vagina. Black Cohosh may selectively reduce pituitary LH serum concentrations as well as reduce LH's ability to bind to receptors in the hypothalamus. This results in the alleviation of menstrual and menopausal discomfort.

  • The things I learned for my overall heath are described in Health Basics: Promoting Self-Healing Power.
