“Within one week my mild hot flashes had stopped altogether!”

At 53, Justine was having hot flashes, night sweats, and no periods. Reluctant to use HRT due to her history of breast tumors, she found our website through Kaiser. After one month on the Personal Program, her symptoms are gone and she’s sleeping through the night. She wrote to thank us.

“I have never been compelled to write a product testimonial before, but I feel I must let you know what a difference your program has made in my life!

“Due to breast tumors I had in my 20’s, my doctors have warned me not to take estrogen. I am now 53 and haven’t had a period in six months. Thinking I’d entered the ‘hot flash stage,’ I tried various supplements that had been recommended to me, but with minimal results.

“Little did I expect the ‘night sweat’ stage to follow with a vengeance! I couldn’t sleep through the night because of drenching sweats, which made getting up and going to work harder and harder. I also began to feel depressed — mostly from being so tired, I think — and discouraged that there was no solution.

“I called my doctor and they phoned in a ‘patch’ and a progestogen for me. I read all of the information and thought, ‘Now why would I start taking hormones at this stage of my life?’ I never started the prescription, but was very tempted on several occasions.

“Then I remembered a card with your website address that a physician’s assistant at Kaiser had given me about a year previous. She, too, had emphasized how she would not recommend hormones with my past tumor history, and suggested that if I started experiencing menopausal symptoms to go to the Women to Women website because she’d heard so much positive feedback from her patients who had started your program.

“I took the test, decided I had to try the Personal Program, and ordered it with ‘express shipping.’ I read all the enclosed material, noting that it said not to expect immediate results. But I began using it on June 1st of this year, and within two days the night sweats had decreased by 50%! Within a week, my mild hot flashes stopped altogether and the night sweats decreased to one or two per night, with far less severity.

“Within two weeks, I must say that I woke up and thought, ‘Wow, it has all stopped!’”

“I just have to say thank you. It has made such a difference in my life to be able to sleep through the night, as well as to be free of the hot flashes during the day. I have referred several other women so far, and will continue to do so.”
