Maca is a wonderful product for hot flashes............... www.wholeworldbotanicals.com.

Also do the hormone balancing from the nutrition page.

menopause

Hi dear group,does anyone has good results with treating against menopause, the worstthing she experiencedare the hot flashes ( i don't know if thats the right medical term)i like to know which programs i can use the bestthanks in advancegreetings, Ravenhorst ( Holland )richard.r@...............................................

I have found that marijuana works for some menopause symptoms. But I

do not want to have to smoke anything since smoking is so hard on the

mouth, sinuses, throat, lungs, stomach, etc.

Best regards,

Apparently " two tokes " relieve hot flashes, moods swings and other

symptons.

probably the best dose would be for the marijuana to be in a tea bag or

something but you know people would just open the bags and smoke it becoming

stoned which may actually be the symptoms of overdose

Listen ladies, I've still got all original equipment & I went through the change a few (maybe 4) years ago. The only way I could tell was no more periods. My Mum has been having hot flashes & night sweats since '66 & I haven't had one (touch wood) The doctor wanted to put me on HRT & I tried it for a month or so. All it did was make me dizzy & I'm dizzy enough without it so I quit. It's been great - haven't had to shave my armpits in 5 years.

Cheri:

Unfortunately the book that it was written in, I've lent out but Dr. Bruce said

it balances out hormones, I do remember that.

What really helps Menopause is Progesterone skin cream, used 3 weeks out of 4,

each month, with a week off. Available in the US in most health food stores,

hard to get here in Canada.

Margie, you're correct Menopause symptoms seem like they go away but they always

return. Progesterone skin cream available in the US, is the answer.

Just so you are aware--when I was 46 I also experienced many of the

symptoms you mention. I had heavy bleeding, clotting, mild

depression,and forgetfulness. I went to my GYN who told

me " Well...at your age! and scheduled me for an endometrial biopsy.

No definitive results. Six months later I was still having problems

that had escalated to every other month very painful PMS. I was

told that I probably had diverticulosis! At any rate, I went to my

primary doc and said I was pretty sure that something was wrong and

insisted on more extensive tests being done. To make a long story

short it turned out I had OVARIAN CANCER, stage 1b, class 1. I was

lucky! I can't tell you how many times I've heard about patients who

weren't diagnosed until it was too late. The moral of this story is

to listen to your body, and take charge of your own health care.

You know what's normal for you, and ageing shouldn't be an obstacle

course. PS I am now 18 years cancer free.

[Guest guest]

They checked me for cancer a couple of years ago on this issue and I was free of

cells. Thanks for your warning, you can never just let things go.

Hi Glynis,

I've only been doing Armour for a little over a week, but prior to that

I started boosting my adrenals with NAE and DHEA and I started a period

again within a few days (for the first time in months....)

Pen x

[Guest guest]

Hi Glynis,

Yes, same with me, improving the thyroid function with Armour did

shake up the system a bit. I had one period after starting Armour

after a year without but then none after that. And a couple of minor

menopause symptoms are still around, nothing compared to the life-

saving improvement in everything else.

[Guest guest]

HI Glynis - give us a clue to your age and things might drop into place better. Armour wakes up EVERYTHING, so I guess if your body had given up before you started it, it is now waking up again and letting you know. I guess Armour has helped to get your other hormones more balanced - hence your unexpected period.

Luv - Sheila

I don't have Hashimoto's but I did have a shock when I got in tonight, I'm having a period!! Remember a few weeks ago (or maybe not, this board is much busier than it used to be!!) I posted that since I've been on Armour my ovaries seemed to have woken up and decided to have one last fling? Well, this seems to be it! I was so shocked I rang NHS Direct, (it was quite amusing in a way that they have no reference to Armour in their Big Book of Medicines!!) they said it was fairly normal and that it could take 2 - 5 years to get through the menopause without hormone treatment.I'm to contact my doctor and have a chat.... Fat lot of good that will do she knows nothing about the effects of Armour! So do you think I should contact my Endo who prescribes my Armour? Is this a normal 'side effect' of Armour? Any other menopausal's out there with the same problems?I'm so glad I didn't throw that box of tampons away, where's that hot water bottle.........!!Glynis

Hi glynis,

And you thought that was all over....... It's not surprising

really as periods tend to stop when the body is under great stress as it is

with undertreated hypo. Now your health is returning ,everything is starting

to work properly again.

I had a Mirena coil for three years, I had it taken out early last year

as the doc said that I was menopausal (according to the blood tests!!)

I had one short bleed of a few hours then nothing till yesterday.

Now I'm miserable, got bad backache, bloated, womb cramps and a

headache! I can well do without it. I'm battling my way through the

last two modules, (45 credits) of this year and they have to be in a

week tomorrow!

Thankfullly one is finished and I might get away with cross referencing

a lot of it to the last module........I hope!

-Lots of us on here take Serenity cream by Welcome. All I can say is " what is a

hot flush " these days..... I have found it wonderful. It took a little while to

adjust to how much to use but after nearly four months I can say it has removed

the menopause problems I was suffereing from.

Good Luck

Sorry to hear that...... for me its a wonder drug........ and everyone has

noticed with me...... maybe you need more progesterone than this can offer......

Good luck with your search

[Guest guest]

I've had hot flushes for over 10 years - just about one every hour, day

and night. It was driving me mental, my social life fell to pieces and

" life " for me meant waiting for the next flush to deal with ... It

would be a shorter list to ask what I have not tried than what I have

tried. Nothing made a big impact. They only subsided in earnest when I

was sufficiently medicated for my thyroid condition (over the past year)

with NDT.

I did notice, however, that Candida was a major player. Once the

Candida was under control, the flushes got fewer and lighter. If I ate

anything sweet, promptly a few minutes later I was dripping with sweat,

fighting not to faint. Hot food and drink did the same, only more

instant. Being in bright sunlight ditto, as did stress and worry - it

was self perpetuating.

I still get those flushes, but much lighter now and instead of 24 in 24

hours I might get 2 or 3, but I still have to take adrenal support (Dr.

's Dynamite) and make a huge effort not to let " things " get to

me.... controlled breathing helps. I honestly think that Candida is the

main trigger for those flushes.

Many thanks for this site, Bob .... generally speaking I am no stranger to reading medical texts, only the below is a tad too technical for me and it's content goes straight over my head. - Would you please tell me in your own words what all this means in relation to hot flushes ? I haven't got a clue what they are talking about ......

Thanks,

Studies on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) action typically assess gene responses by long-term stimulation with synthetic hormones. As corticosteroids are released from adrenal glands in a circadian and high-frequency (ultradian) mode, such treatments may not provide an accurate assessment of physiological hormone action. Here we demonstrate that ultradian hormone stimulation induces cyclic GR-mediated transcriptional regulation, or gene pulsing, both in cultured cells and in animal models. Equilibrium receptor-occupancy of regulatory elements precisely tracks the ligand pulses. Nascent RNA transcripts from GR-regulated genes are released in distinct quanta, demonstrating a profound difference between the transcriptional programs induced by ultradian and constant stimulation. Gene pulsing is driven by rapid GR exchange with response elements and by GR recycling through the chaperone machinery, which promotes GR activation and reactivation in response to the ultradian hormone release, thus coupling promoter activity to the naturally occurring fluctuations in hormone levels. The GR signalling pathway has been optimized for a prompt and timely response to fluctuations in hormone levels, indicating that biologically accurate regulation of gene targets by GR requires an ultradian mode of hormone stimulation.

Hi Bob, many thanks for this - mbut what does it mean in laymen's terms please?

I get hot flushes every 90 mins and would love to know how to stop

them,,,,,,,,,,, fingers crossed!!! Carol

Not understanding what papers say was one of my downfalls. I took it to my doctor and he said that he didn't have time to read it but for me to tell him what it was saying.

Dah - I hadn't the faintest idea. Especially as it had no "conclusion" at the bottom. It was just something I was told to show my doctor.

Hey Ho, shan't make that mistake again - if I ever get the chance.

Hi konia, suggest you talk to Dr. P-- he suggested that I use Serenity http://www.progesterone.co.uk too much oestrogen puts thyroid hormones out of use, but progesterone helps with their utilisation. thyroid treatment From: tacktours@...Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:17:52 +0000Subject: menopause

Hi everyone,

I've got Hashimoto and I am on Armour and lot's of nutrients that Dr. Peatfield recommended.

As I now have the menopause, the hot flushes are driving me mad.

Black Cohosh doesn't agree with me.

Sage does only help a little.

It's too late for Agnus Castus.

Red Clover is supposed to be good, but it regulates your hormones - does it clash with Armour and the nutrients (sounds like a band)?

I'd be grateful for any tips...

All the best
