==>Hi Hana. Welcome to our group.

Wild Yam provides progesterone which is often recommended for

menopause, however I do not recommend using it, and neither does Dr.

Mercola, unless you are constantly tested so you do not get too much -

see information below.

However, your vaginal yeast isn't caused by taking wild yam alone.

It is caused by a depressed immune system and an imbalance between

good and bad bacteria mainly in the digestive tract, which in turn

causes candida/yeast overgrowth. Vaginal yeast is maybe most evident

but you can bet candida overgrowth is mainly going on in your gut.

The only way to cure it is to improve your immune system with this

program. See " How to Treat Vaginal Yeast " ;

About taking wild yam for progesterone, here's a section from my

article Women's Health Issues & Treatments;

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/women7.php

" There are many health products marketed to women for treating their

health issues, and believe me I've tried them all, including

progesterone cream, black cohosh, dong quai, etc.

Here's what Dr. Mercola says about progesterone: " ...progesterone is

highly fat soluble and once applied to the skin will store itself in

a woman's fat tissue. When one first uses the cream, there is no

problem here as the fat stores are very low.

But as time goes on, the cream accumulates and contributes to

disruptions in the adrenal hormones such as DHEA, cortisol, and

testosterone. I have learned that although progesterone cream is an

enormously useful tool, it needs to be used very cautiously.

I have also learned that it is far more important to work to

normalize the adrenal hormones first. " Please see my article " Adrenal

Malfunction & Treatments. "

Other treatments are not going to help you when all of your body's

cells are rigid from candida toxins, and giving your body substances,

other than the basic supplements recommended, can overwhelm and

confuse it, creating another set of symptoms and problems.

It is much more beneficial to your overall health for you to

concentrate on nutrition, getting your immune system built up, and

getting rid of candida, rather than shooting off into different

directions treating separate issues or symptoms. Your body will

normalize more and more as you continue on the Candida Program. "

I was able to eliminate hot flashes during menopause by taking 800 IU

of vitamin E per day. Candida puts out over 79 different kinds of

toxins which interferes with hormone useage and production in the

body because it makes all of the body's cells go rigid (stiff) -

hormones aren't as able to get into rigid cells where they are needed

to do their job, which results in menopausal symptoms.

Menopause is not a disease! This diet with its high saturated fats,

and elimination of bad fats and oils, along with oil soluble vitamins

A, D & E, omega-3, and other important supplements, protein from

animals, fish, eggs, etc. help the body change over production from

the ovaries to the fat cells in the body the way nature intended.

The best in health, Bee

==>Hi Sue. You would always begin at the lowest dose possible and

only gradually increase it every 4-5 days.

Are there any specific supplements that seem to have large

quantities? Most health practitioners & websites recommend twice as

much as I do for vitamin E and calcium. Vitamin C is the only really

high one at 4,000 mg per day and that is the recommended minimum

daily amount by Orthmolecular Physicians, particularly when a person

is sick. Please explain my dear.
