“Within 15 days my heavy bleeding stopped. Stopped!”
Carla, 52, had gained 50 pounds and was bleeding heavily each month as she approached her menopause. Afraid to go anywhere far from a bathroom, she felt trapped and stressed by her symptoms. Then she found our website. Her results were so remarkable, she wrote to thank us.
“I came across your website while investigating ‘heavy bleeding in menopause.’ I ordered your package, which came with a detailed dietary program. I started to read it and couldn’t put it down. I’ve read similar information, but the author had a twist that turned a lightbulb on for me, and much more information on why hormones go haywire.
“I had been bleeding for about six weeks or so — a very, very heavy flow with my large fibroids. I was quite anxious about going anywhere far from a bathroom. That is stressful, in and of itself. I confess that I’m a meal-skipper and rarely ate a lot of protein due to digesting it poorly. And sugar was my ultimate downfall — never have I been so attracted to sugar. I felt like I could eat it all day. And often did, in one form or another.
“Well, I jumped on board the Personal Program, following the dietary guidelines, using the Natural Progesterone Cream, and taking the Essential Nutrients. Within 15 days my bleeding stopped. Stopped!
“My energy rose and fell a couple of times, too. I had become anemic, very weak, and short of breath due to the extremely heavy bleeding. I read up on how to boost my iron naturally through diet (without supplements). An herbal iron tonic did wonders. My color returned, and I can now walk without struggling (that took about 8–9 days).
“I am so happy with the changes that I had to let you know how much you have helped me. I live in a small community, and there are no doctors here who cross the lines of ‘conventional.’ So I thought that I would try you first. I should probably get my hormone levels checked, too.
“I am 52 and in generally good health, even though I’d gained 50 pounds in three years and was getting bigger by the day. I used to get swelling in my ankles that would last for 1–2 weeks. I have a fair amount of fat covering my whole body, too, but most of all at my waistline. Now that is changing daily. I dropped down a lot the first few days, then leveled off a bit. Now I am wearing clothes from last year with ease. It feels so good!
“My overall happiness and a healthy body are more important to me than losing weight right now. I know that the weight loss will come, and when it does, it will be a bonus. Feeling good again is the real target. Right now I don’t want to mess with success. Thank you for all your wonderful information.”
