hi there. i have a really good doc (he is a bio chemist and pretty raw himself) and he says we should not take any hormones orally. not sure if what you/your doc is trying to do is for the same problem (for me i lack progesterone)... but in a nut shell as we woman get older we don't always drop an egg every month. in a "normal" cycle when we do drop an egg, a corpus luteum is produced which gives us progesterone which balances out our estrogen. so if you are not dropping eggs each month, there is no corpus luteum formed and we will then have an abundance of estrogen. this causes some problems. in order to balance i am on this program... i use a progesterone creme (progesta plus- derived from wild yams) from mid-cycle to the start of a "visit", and take vitex (from chaste tree by nature's way) to help enhance the production of progesterone. hope that helps! :)

Hmm.. Does that include Thyroid hormone? I'm healing from hypothryoidism (& adrenal failure), and currently take Armour daily-- which is pretty much dried pig's thyroid.. My goal is by Dec 2008 to be able to stop taking all pills.. For me, acupuncture, yoga & a good diet are the Way ----

Have you tried going 100% raw for 6 weeks? Someone I know had never had a regular 'visit' until she did this. Before this and even on 80% raw she only had one or two 'visits' a year. She has not missed one now in 2 years or more. Our body does work well, if we are not poisoning it.

Brian Clement recommends bioidentical hormone therapy.
