“I’ve been telling all my friends about your website.”
After refusing to take high doses of Provera, Jolene found herself harried and bullied
by her local ob/gyn’s office. Not willing to go against her own instincts,
she began looking for more information and found us. What she read has set her on
a whole new path of self-empowerment and natural health. She wrote to explain…
“My local ob/gyn and other doctors (all six) insisted I needed high doses
of Provera for my uterine health, even after I told them of my problems with it
(increased weight gain that led to type 2 diabetes, leg cramps, and bloating). I
was nervous about my risk of getting cancer from Provera, and I refused to take
it. This seemed to make them very angry. I did not return to that office, but found
myself without a doctor. One doctor’s office kept calling me, warning me of
the danger. They even sent me a letter (legal reasons, I guess).
“After reading your website about natural hormones for women, I decided to
try even harder to find a doctor who would do some hormone testing and set up a
bioidentical hormone plan for me in my perimenopausal years.
“I became a member of the Personal Program and tried various combinations
until I found one that would not bother my IC (interstitial cystitis, a bladder
condition). Most other vitamins cause problems by irritating my bladder at night.
IC patients end up tolerating only a limited diet, so having vitamin supplements
is important to their overall health.
“The owner of a local health food store gave me the name of a local gynecologist
who uses natural hormones, and she has been very helpful and understanding. When
I found it too painful to have an endometrial biopsy, she did a D&C to be sure
there was no cancer — and there was none.
“Your information on yeast has also helped me. I followed your yeast-free/sugar-free
diet and added some probiotics and Kyolic garlic. In less than a week, my yeast
infection was gone — without having to use another drug I didn’t want
in my body.
“I’ve been telling all my women friends about your website and natural
hormones. Now how about getting a bunch of you together on PBS?”
