Question:
Menopause,heart problem and cant take hormones?
I had breast cancer at age 15,my mother died from it at age 52 so hormones are not advisable.I have been looking for a natural supplement because the palpatations,nausea and particulrly the hot flashes are driving me insane.I can be totally naked over the A/C vent and sweat still pouring off me and it lasts for 10-30 minutes several times a day.I wake up at night trying to take my skin off cuz it's too hot!GRRRRRR.The lack of sleep and embarrassment from this is making me emotional.I also have daily headaches.I have had SVT and been on ATENOLOL for 20 years so many herbs are dangerous for me.What can I do?????

Of course, using soy will totally kill your thyroid. Not a good option, in my opinion.
Please get a book called "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer" by Dr. John Lee. He talks about natural progesterone use, and how it helps protect against female cancers.
You don't have to stay away from hormones. You need to stay away from estrogen and synthetic hormones! Natural progesterone is the exact hormone that your body makes, so you can use it.
